Postal Receipts Grow.

Des Moines is one of the few larg
cities in the United States which had
an increase in postoffice receipts in
August over August, 1907. Reports
from fifty large cities in the United
States show net decrease of 3.11
per cent in postoffice receipts for
August as compared with the same
month last year. At the Des Moines
osroffice, however, business increas-
ed so per cent. Last month the total
receipts amounted to $45,00915, while
in August, 1907, they were S44,771.S7,
an increase of $2372S. While the
gain vas not as large as usual 1t
shows Des Moines has not suffered
from the business depression in COM
parison with the other cities. Post
office receipts are regarded as one of
the best indications of city's pros
perity.

Formerly when a man wished to
marry in France it cost him not less
than $40 for the 10 separate certifi-
Gates which he was compelled to Sc
cure before the ceremony could be
performed. The Able Lemaire con.
cluded that this expense and the trou-
BILE incident to securing the certifi-
Gates prevented many marriages, and
succeeded in persuading parliament to
change the law and simplify the mar
rying process. Since the new law went
into effect, about year ago, there
have been nearly 5000 more mar
riages than in any similar period since
1872.

Des Moines Mans Great Invention.
Des Moines. Fifty business men,
were the guests recently of the
Enamel Concrete Co., of Des Moines,
where the new concrete brick making
machine was exhibited. The machine,
weighing 10000 pounds, is new de-
parture in brick making and is cap
able of turning out 10000 bricks per
day. Cement, sand gravel and water
are each poured in their respective
receptacles, each proportion automati-
cally weighed, placed in moulds, sub
Jected to a pressure of 100000 pounds
and landed upon delivery plate
ready for the drying room. Probably
the most interesting feature of the
results obtained is the enamel finish
it will place upon the outer side OF
the brick. Any color desired can be
had and the polish is vastly superior
to anything found in the facing brick
of today. e. H. Bouton, sales man
ages for the company said that the
aim of the company was to sell the
machines to subsidiary companies in
the large business centers of the
country. The price of the machine
is $4,000 and coupled with it must be
given 10 per cent of the common
stock of each subsidiary concern and
per cent royalty on their sales. Two
machines have already been sold, one
at Seattle and the other at Vancouver
Oren Ruffcorn, secretary, and Frank
Stehm, treasurer, of the company,
are the men who have perfected this
wonderful machine which was in
vented and built in Des Moines

The discussions at the meeting were
largely on the subject of legislation,
and it developed that the entire body

nual address, when he stated that 1t
should be the policy of the congress
to work against any attempt to change
the existing laws or to add new ones.
