Water Company Doing Missionary
Work in city's Interests

Another manufacturing and jobbing
house is almost assured for MARSHALL
town. and it is one which will employ
4 a considerable force in its manufacture
| Ing and shipping departments. The
Purity Chemical Company is the con-
Germ that has plans all but closed for
removing it's factory TO this city from
1 Chicago.
Thru the efforts Of the Petersen
Heat Light and Water Companys
Chicago office. the chemical company
has been in correspondence with Mr..
w. 7. Bailey with the view of pur-
chasing a large frame building owned
town Syrup and Candy Company's
plant on the east and Immediately
across the railway tracks from the
central heating plant being erected by
the Petersen company.
The Purity Chemical Company is at
present doing business at 2S6 East
Madison street, Chicago. The COM
pany has been seeking a suitable loca-
ton at some favorable point in the
wsst for some time, past, and the in
ducements offered by the heating plant
for the furnishing Of heat and power,
together with the inducements offered
by Mr.. Bailey in making low price
on his building, have almost assured
to Marshalltown this new institution.
No other inducements or concessions
are asked except those from the heat
ing company and which that company
has conceded.

ufactures baking powders, favoring
extracts, toilet articles, ETC., and does
a large jobbing business in package
goods, for which there is a great de-
mand. The size and location Of the
Bailey building makes 1t very desirable
for this line of business, as it is ac-
cessible from each end to the tracks of
all the railways entering Marshall
town, thus making it very convenient
for both outgoing an incoming
freight. The building is sixtyfour feet
In width and 200 feet in length, two
stories in height. and was formerly a
part of the Ketchum Wagon Company

has offered to save this company %

TO BE INFERRED HERE
Body Of Eugene Kraft to be Brought
to MarshaiItown Unless Foreign
Relatives Claim It-His Family His

tory.
A message was received in the city
Friday evening from A. Holinger,
Swiss consul in Chicago, informing
the family of Eugene Kraft OF the lat
ter's death. The message said she cir
c,1mstances of the death We're not
known. The consul inquired as to
the disposition Of the remains. Upon
receipt Of the message Messrs. Joe
Visek and George Reynolds, stepson
and son-in-law OF deceased, departed
for Chicago, with the intention of
bringing the remains here for inter-
ment. This will be done unless the
relatives in Germany and Switzerland
desire otherwise. 1t is probable the
body will arrive Sunday morning and
if so the funeral services will be held
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 from the
residence, POS North Fourth avenue,
Rev. Z. B. Jones officiating.
Kraft was a man with brilliant
mind and fine education. He was
graduated from college of medicine,
also with the degree of doctor of
philosophy. His father was a high Of
ficer in the Swiss army and In govern
ment circles. 1t is known now to a
certainty Baron De Reding and the
baroness referred to in the papers
found on his person were his brother
and sister. His only fault was his adj
diction to liquor drinking.
Mrs. Kraft received a letter last
Tuesday from Kraft saying that he
would be in Marshalltown Sunday.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
icans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

PRODUCTIVITY OF FARMS.

But a little thought is required to
ascertain one of the reasons for the
high prices of living commodities
that prevail says the Lafayette Cour-
ier With 100000 farms on 400,-
100000 acres of improved lands in
the United States, it seems that
there should be no dearth of the eat
ables of a vegetable nature that the
people of the country require Yet
that is exactly the situation. There
is an under production of many of
the staple food products. The best
is not made of opportunities. Igno-
rant and careless farm methods pre-
vail in many sections of the land and
cured from the soil that it is capable
Of producing. AS a matter of fact,
farm statistics show that but little
over half is produced yearly that
should be produced considering the
acreage titled and the crop condi-
tons. It is estimated that the num-
Der of acres of tilIable land in the
country would support a population
ten times as great as it is now.
In many States. this great waste of
opportunity is being remedied by the
teaching of scientific farming. In
this, Indiana is one of the leaders
The active work of Purdue university
in creating a spirit of energy and
ambition among the Indiana farmers
has had wonderful effect in getting
the best that can be had from their
farms. Its work is being emulated
in many other states and it is now
recognized that course in farming
at an up-to-date agricultural school
is absolutely necessary for the young
man who is desirious of receiving the
best returns for his labor expended
on his acres. The government is TAX
ing active steps in every section of
the country to have science applied
to farming and the result is that all
over the country yields are frequent
that but a few years ago would have
been regarded as phenomenal.
The science of farming is yet in its
infancy, however. Many improve
ments in methods have been made,
but there is room for still greater i'm
proyements. These are coming rap
idly. but active education along the
lines of scientific farming as taught
in schools like Purdue win work Won
ders in crop production and from
those wonders viii come cheaper
prices for the consumer. No country
has ever raised so much that it could
not find a market for its products
