SIXTY PEOPLE NOW EMPLOYED

The coffee roasting department of
big new concern that has taken over
the old glucose property, will, by the
first of next week, have its capacity
doubled by the installation of four new
machines, making eight In all.
The roasting capacity of the plant
will be increased to between $4,000 and
10000 pounds of coffee daily, or one
car load. The coffee business which is
one of the big branches of the indus
try. has been handicapped of late by
the fact that the coffee could not be
turned out to the different Western
Grocer houses fast enough, but the in
crease in the capacity will overcome
the difficulty, at least for the pres

Canning Department. Busy.
In the canning department of the
mills. which Is situated on other prop
erty. the force of 100 people will be
increased fifty to 100 on Monday.
when the tomato pack will begin. This
will bring the force in the canning de-
partment up to about 200 people. Over
100 acres of tomatoes have been grown
ar Far. hn },,o a
dition to between 400 and 500 acres of
sweet corn, the canning of which has
been in progress since last Tuesday.
The cannery is now working on Ever
green corn, = popular variety that
makes fine product in tin, and later
will be put up Country Gentleman,
a superior variety of late corn. This
week the canning department has been
packing daily 1000 cases of corn, or
$4,000 cans.
Can't Make Boxes Fast Enough.
The box manufacturing department
of the mills, where are made the cases
in which the corn and tomatoes are
to be packed ready for shipment. is be-
ing pushed to it's capacity to furnish
the canning department with boxes.
The facilities are hardly adequate to
supply the demand, which is for 1000
boxes daily. Most of the box work is
done by machinery, but the output is
only about 1000 per day, and the rest
are being made by hand until more
machinery can be added.
Plant Is Unique in Completeness.
In few more weeks time the new
plant will be in ship shape. 1t is prob
ably. without doubt, the most unique
and complete plant Of its kind in the
United States, and those who have seen
it in operation claim it would be
credit even to the city of Chicago 1t
is said that in Chicago and New York,
where some of the large wholesale con-
Germs of the country are conducting
similar institutions, there is nothing
that has been built that is in every
way as complete to the smaller details
as the Marshalltown mills. This will
be even more true when the many diff
ferent branches of lines are added to
manufacturing, as is contemplated by
the company.

the fault is their own. A germ at the

recently been discovered, called New

WISCONSIN TRIES
NEW PRIMARY LAW
Much Interest Attaches to
Direct Votes for
Delegates.

For the first time in any state. Presi-
Dental delegates are being selected this
week IN WiscOnsi,. under a Statewide
popular primary system. The ,est OF
the remarkable Wisconsin primary law
IN this connection is being observed with
great interest all over the country. be-
cause OF the great interest nowadays
taken In primary legislation.
Most OF the Southern States have
made large progress in this direction:
in the North not so much has been
accomplished. though a number OF
States have laws now, mainly in the
experimental stage. from which much
enlightenment OF the primary problem
is expected.
The Wisconsin law abolishes entirely
all political conventions. All candidates
for delegates TO the national convention
go on a ballot; they are arranged al
phabetically. There IS no designation
by which il may be known what PresI-
dental candidate IS favored. The can
didates are expected 10 make that plain
to the people in their preliminary cam
paigns.
Full tickets of candidates for dele
gates have been placed in every district
Of Wisconsin by the La Toilette and
the Taft people Likewise, each element
has named four candidates for delegates
at large The Taft campaign in the
State represents the protest of the old
stalwart faction against La Toilette and
his domination.
The Taft managers, nationally. have
have repeatedly disavowed the effort
carried on in their name in Wisconsin;
but the anti-La Toilette people were
not TO be moved by any such protest
They are determined to fight at every
opportunity, and believed the chance for
lineup under the claim that they
were supporting the Roosevelt candi-
date, was not to be missed.

Learning From Mosquitoes.

London may well read with inter
est DR.. Osler's declaration that the
war against mosquitoes will make
the tropics habitable He knows.
But he does not know so well as the
surgeons of the army. navy, and
marine corps who risked their lives
TO make those experiments.
The story is familiar TO us all 1t
is recalled now by n paper from
the distinguished American on
whom recently fell appointment as
Tegius professor OF medicine at Ok
ford, the essay being a feature of
the evidence taken by a British
royal commission on vivisection, and
now published. An American com
mission was sent to Havana in 1900
to investigate causes of yellow
fever. 1t recognized particularly
the relation of the mosquito to the
disease. And it proved that reIa-
tionshiP in the only conclusive and
potent way-by exposing non-im-
munes to the bite of infected mos
quitoes.
Ridicule and protest sounded
their shrillest notes. of course. The
former Outdid the latter. Sane
newspapers thought it funny to
make jokes out of the sex of the
insects, and to inquire if it had been
determined how far rheumatism
was due to horsehies?
London is hearing the other side
seven years later. Havana knew it
one year later. America has known
it ever since she set foot on the
Isthmus of Panama Two death
rates tell it: That of France on the
isthmus was never known accu-
rately, but is said to have been Il
out of every 1000 every month; that
of the United States is zero since
May, 1906.
The same skill, the same devotion,
the same ingenuity are going now
into a dozen similar inquiries-as to
tuberculosis, as TO the public milk
supply, as to the spread of disease
through the activities of flies and
house bugs, as 10 the dangers of
bad air in public places. In view of
the good which has come from
those earlier studies of the mos
quitoes only the foolhardy or the
half-witted will make fun of them.

Toll to the Union Station.

Every man who walks across the
Union Station Plaza pays toll for
the pig-headedness of Congress.
Every day that strnet-car service to
the station is postponed because of
somebody's universal transfer prop
Osition he pays toll not only to pig
headedness, but to crOss-eyes.
For the people of the District Of
Columbia do not want cheaper
street car fares-which is the sole
advantage of universal transfers.
Six tickets for a quarter is cheap
enough. What they do want is bet
