time will come soon when MARSHALL
town will have several big stores
stores so much larger than the average
single store that there will be no COM
parison. There Is hardly another town
In the state where the big stores have
not appeared to prosper and advertise
their town as a trading center. Water
loo and Oskaloosa have long had their
big stores. Ottumwa and Cedar Rap
ids have several Of them. Sioux Falls,
in South Dakota, no larger than Mar
shaltown, has more than one. The
time Is ripe for several in MARSHALL
town. Waterloo has one dry goods
merchant who spends more for adver-
Using in one year than any ten of the
best retail advertisers in Marshalltown,
and the result is that his big store
draws trade from twice the distance
that small stores could possibly do. In
cidentally he buys brick blocks out of
his surplus earnings. His store alone
will make his town look like city. and
that has been the result OF some of the
recent changes made in Marshalltown
stores. More and greater ones will fol-

A BIG JOB WELL DONE.
Acceptance Of New Auditorium Carries
With IL Commitments for Plumbers.

Now that the new high school audi
forum has been completed and ac-
cepteod, attention may properly be
called to the excellence OF the work
done by the plumbing contractors, the
McCarten Plumbing Company. The
work was inspected and admired by
hundreds Of people the day Of the OPP
ening. but more than that, 1t was test
ed and tried by the building contract
ors, the supervising architect and the
board, and met all the requirements Of
the specifications Those directly
charged with the responsibility for the
proper performance OF the work ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with 1t in every detail. The McCarten
Plumbing Company began business in
a small way, only a few months ago.
but the members of the firm are them
selves experts and employ only skilled
men, and as result have won their
way rapidly into the favor OF contrac-
tors and others having plumbing work
to do.

trusts and combinat tions in the isthmian
canal zone succeeded in increasing the
price Of meats. vegetables and fruits
more than 100 per cent .and forced the
Isthmian Canal Commission 70 pass a
resolution al a recent meeting enabling
its agents TO buy supplies in the open
market and without advertising for
bids.
Members Of the commission say they
discovered that all the dealers in pro-
visions who had sufficient capital to
furnish the bond required of bidders on
supplies had pooled their interests and
cornered the contracts for all vegeta-
bles, meats and fruits required for the
commission hotels and messes. The
combination was in a position TO de-
mand prohibitive prices. and the COM
mission was forced TO change It's meth
DDS and enable small dealers and pro-
dUcers to compete for the business.
AS a safeguard the commission reso-
luton provides that not more than $500
worth Of supplies is to be bought in

ment OF Lieutenant w. E. Bennett Jr,
