AGAINST Parcels Post.

Des Moines, Feb. 13.--Before ad
journing the Iowa Hardware men ad
opted the following resolution:
f'We unanimously oppose any legis
lation favoring even limited postal
carriage of parcels, for we firmly be
lieye that such limited service would
prove to be but an entering wedge
for a general service.
"We are favorable 10 the postal law
reducing the present rate on first
class mail matter cent per ounce
and would recommend that such law
be passed by congress. Why. The
letter rates of postage being a profit
to the government it is certainly to
the best interests of the country that
a reduction in the postal rates be en-.
couraged in that department that
shows a carrying profit"

IOWA TEACHERS IN ARMS
THEY WANT THEIR PROFESSION
RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.
Want Eternal Examination to be
Dropped and School Bill to
be Amended.

Davenport, Ia.,s Feb. 15.-The Scott
County Teachers. Association inaugur.
ated what will be statewide move.
ment Saturday for fuller recognition
OF the teacher in the new Iowa school
law. Teachers all over the state OF
Iowa will be asked to urge upon theii
Legislators that section "a of the pro
Section 81. /. The first grade, uni.
form county certificate shall be valid
for period or years. AT the close
of said period on proof of at least two
years of successful teaching the board
of education shall renew old ceftifi-
cate for subsequent period of three
years. At the close of said period OF
renewal, upon proof of five years sue.
cessful experience in teaching under
this class of certificate, said certih.
cate shall be validated for life
"2. The second grade uniform coun-
ty certificate shall b valid for pc
riod of two years. Said certificate
shall be renewed twice upon proof of
five years successful teaching under
this class of certificate, said certificate
shall be validated for life.
"3. Each application for renewal of
first of second grade uniform county
certificate shall be accompanied by
such proof of successful experience
as the state board of education may
require. The provisions of this sec
ton shall apply also to all first and
second grade uniform county certif-
Gates valid at the time of the passage
of this act"
In urging the above change the
teachers adopted a resolution, unani-
mously and with applause, declaring
as follows: AZ.
THE state of Iowa licenses. a class
of her citizens such as doctors, law
yers, veterinary surgeons, nurses, os-
teopaths, itlnerant doctors and phar.
macists. embalmers, dentists, ped
dIers saloonkeepers; and schol teach
ers are the one class that is singled
out for repeated examinations. Those
paying annual fees are the equine
physicians, wonder healers, peddlers,
undertakers, druggists, barkeepers and
school teachers. With all due respect
to their companions in this unhappy
coterie Iowa teachers would like to be
transmitted to the eminence occupied
by the other liberal professions. II
teaching is profession, and that is
generally conceded, now is the oppor.
tunlty for the Iowa legislature to make
this elemental recognition"

.KINDLING TOOK FIRE
Put In the Oven to Dry and Be-
came Too BOT.

Some burning kindling in the oven,
cook stove, called the fire department
about ten-thirty o'clock this morning
to the James McBurney residence, 7O7
Second avenue east. Mr.. McBurney
had placed some kindling in the oven
to dry out and it caught on fire. The
kitchen was filed with smoke when
the department arrived and it looked
as though he house was on fire. Fire
man Sondregger crawled on his hands
and knees % the oven and pulled out
the burning wood, which was in a
pan. No damage resulted.
To Fred Daniels, one of Oskaloosa's
volunteer firemen, belongs the distinc-
ton OF being the first fireman to slide
down the brass pole in the new fire
department building to respond to an
alarm of fire. Daniels, who is em-
ployed as carpenter by s. B. Sinclair,
was working on the second floor of
lOskaloosa's new FIRE station building
when he heard the alarm for the
James McBurney fire. Mr.. Daniels
dropped his work, slid own the brass
pole and was off to the fire, reaching
the place few minutes after the wag-
on. 1t is said the volunteer iiremen,
Harvey Carr, Clyde Young and Regu-
lar Firemen Henry Sondregger and
Elmer Patterson are jealous OF Fire
man Daniels on account OF the dis
|tinction that has come to him by rea-
son OF his act.
A fire was narrowly avoided at the
residence OF James Barnett No. BIS
South Market street, Sunday morning.
