when the end came.
Mrs. Decker, nee Fuller, was born
Jan. IL. 1927, at Orville, Pa, and was
married in 1850 to Rev. Michael
Decker, Methodist clergyman. Short
ly after their marriage Rev. and Mrs
Decker came west to Chicago, and
lived there and at Rockford, ILL.,, for
many years. Rev. Mr.. Decker died
Nov. Fl, 1874. Mrs. Decker was an
ideal wife of pastor, and was her

MarshalltoWn now has the largest
factory in the world for making steel
furnaces. Others just as large manu-
facture furnaces along with other pro-
ducts but not one makes as many
steel furnaces exclusively. Few people
living in the city realize that the Len
nox Furnace Companys factory has
grown to the largest factory in the city
and the largest Of it's kind in the world.
Its employment during the past season
reached 1866 men and will go to $50
before another winter. The next insti-
tuition to it excepting the Iowa Central
Railway Company is the packing house
which employs 1875 men. If any man
questions the right OF MarshalltoWn to
call itself manufacturing center lei
him be referred to the Lennox furnace
factory. Here is made product which
sells in carload lots back in the iron
centers of Pennsylvania, 1t is exported
to the Canadian northwest where none
but the most powerful heaters can batr
tie with a northern winter, it is sold
turnout the middle western states, dis
tributed widely from such points as st.
Paul, Denver, and Spokane and over
the entire coast country from Van
couver. and Seattle to San Francisco
and Los Angeles. Last year the San
Francisco agent sold one for duty in a
coffee drying plant on the Hawaiian
Islands and, an American gentleman
bought one which he took with him to-
Japan to be installed in his new house
there.

such sale as this without it had spe-
cial merit. For years hot air furnaces
had been made>of cast iron sections
One section on top of another built UP
a furnace. The joints between sec
lions were filled with an asbestos ce-
ment. but when the iron was heated 1t
would expand, loosening the cement
and permitting coal gas and smoke to
leak thru into the air chamber and
thence into the sleeping and living
rooms of the house. In order to over
come this "dirt" about furnace, the
Lennox steel furnace was made Of
heavy steel plates riveted together UNI
der tremendous hydraulic pressure, on
the same principle as steam boiler,
absolutely gas tight. With the fire
enclosed in the gas-tight steel shell
there was no more casing or dirt about
a furnace when it was a Lennox.
1t was found that steel was a quick
material, just suited to the
purpose of radiating heat into an air
chamber as the current of cold air
came in contact with the hot metal
surface. In order to increase this radi-
ating capacity and get the most heat
out of the fuel used, an indirect radi-
ator, crescent shaped, was added. BY
OF al hanging partition inside,
the hot smoke, entering at the top, is
forced down to the bottom Of the radi-
ator and back to the top again before
it escapes into the chimney, thus util-
iZing an immense amount of heat that
would otherwise be lost, It is this pow
erful heating capacity that has caused
a large jobbing house in the great city
Of Winnipeg to select Lennox furnaces

With the appointment Of a commits
tee to seek a speaker for the graduate
ing exercises on Friday evening, May
81, the first steps were taken at the
board meeting Wednesday evening TO
prepare for the commencement of the
public schools. j. L. Carney, I. I.
WATSON and Superintendent Aaron
Palmer We're chosen to secure the
speaker. One OF the first ones to be
sought by the committee will be Rev.
r. Harmon Potter. pastor OF Center
Congregational church. Hartford,
Conn.
A special interest attaches to the
suggestion of Rev. Potter as a possible
speaker because Mrs. Potter is for
mer Marshalltowp girl, and because
Rev. Potter is the head of one of the
Oldest churches OF its denomination in
the United States. Mrs. Potter was
formerly Miss Jean Gilchrist, daughter
of Mrs. Ida s. Gilchrist, 705 West Main
street. 1t is not known whether Rev.
Potter will be available. The gradu-
ating exercises will either be held in
the Odeon or manual training build

senior class has chosen the one to
deliver the sermon. Soon after Rev.
Mr.. Dempster delivered his lnarrangue
the board took this privilege away from
the class, but last year this new ar
rangement of the board was misunder-
stood, and the class again chose the
speaker. The board will, however,
take that duty upon itself this spring.
The graduating class this year will be
of about average size, having MEM
bership of twenty-fiv only four Of
whom are young men.
Ask Right to Sell Building.
Whether or not the board may have
the authority to sell the old Hartwe!l
school building will be answered by the
voters at the coming school election.
The request that the board be author
lied to do so will be submitted in the
form of a ballot. The building is UNI
used and cannot be insured, and as it
is a frame building and a fire risk the
board wants to sell it. 1t can not do
this without the authority of the vot-
ers.
The board authorized T. I. WATSON,
chairman OF the building and grounds
committee, and President A. g. Click,
to accept the work OF Lewis & Kitchen,

ing system for the high school build :

the states for sale in the severe cli-
mate of western Canada.
BY the use of damper rod the draft
may be made direct to the chimney
when the front door is opened to adj
nit fuel and then closed again imme-
diately. Whenever an accident hap
pens thru carelessness which causes a
portion of the fire pot Or a CRATE to
burn out a new part can be, quickly
replaced, thru the fuel door without
going to the expense of a whole new
fire pot and without tearing down the
casing as must be done with most 9TH
er furnaces. This makes Lennox
very Inexpensive for repairs.
The double fuel doors, too, are a
great convenience, for they make it
possible to help out on the fuel bill
by burning chunks and trash in spring
and fall besides making it much easier
to feed fuel than thru the average
small door.
There are many special features
about Lennox furnaces which have
been added to overcome the weakness
es OF the average hot air furnace, all
of which go to make an ideal furnace
and which are the direct cause Of
building up in an inland city the
largest factory in the world for MAX
ing steel furnaces, factory whose pro-
duct is sold from Pennsylvania to the
Pacific ocean and from Texas to the
snow clad prairies of Canada. There
are 600 families in Marshalltown who
will look upon their Lennox furnaces
with more respect when they know the
world wide reputation their home fac
tory has.
