He who goes into raptures in
contemplating and talking about
the heavenly city of pearly gates
and golden streets but who does
nothing to improve the town in
which he lives, is not very likely
to have his, dream of the future
realized. If he will busy him
self to better conditions around
him, by personal example, by aid
ing every good project, and by
helping TO put honest and able
luen in power, he need have no
fear as to his future habitation.
but to talk of the glories above
and then 81. idly by and see dirty
dishonesty and vice of all kinds
-four ish, is nothing but rant and
nonsense.

To the numerous supporters of Con-
gresham Kendall in this district, the
following endorsement from the Cedar
Falls Record will. be of interest:
Down In the sixth district they
are making all kinds Of predictions
as to the fate Of Nate Kendall, pres
ent congressman and nominee for re-
election. Mr.. Kendall is too valu-
able man to be retired at the com
pletion of single term. He has
rendered the state conspicuous SER
vice in every position he has been
called to fill He was valuable man
in the legislature and served as
speaker with much credit to himself
and with creditable service to the
commonwealth His first term in
congress has been wholly creditable
to him. Owing to the large num-,
Der of miners in his district he OPP
posed the new tariff law because it
proposed the placing Of the products
Of the mines Of the state upon the
free list in competition with the great
coal industry in Nova Scotia and the
British northwest, and he opposed the
placing Of hides upon the free list

soclATloNs WILL MEET
OCTOBER II.

Marshalltown, Oct. 6.This city

Building and Loan Associations Will
meet here in annual session on Tues
day, Oct. II. The convention will meet
at the new quarters OF the Marshall.

first state gathering to be entertained
in the new club rooms. &
The state has under organization at
present forty-four different building
and loan associations, and 1t is ex'
pected that a general representation
or the state will be present at the
meeting, owing to the fact of the cen
trail location of the convention city.
Legislation Important Feature.
The important feature of the meet
ings of the association is the discus
sion OF legislative questions OF vital IN
terest to building and loan associa-
tons in general. Particularly are the
associations interested at present IN
the Incorporation fee question, which
will be taken up in most aggressive
manner before the next general as
Sembly.
The building and loan associations
are seeking to be excepted in the gen
eral incorporation fee, which calls for
s25 for the first $4,000, and 81 per
81 900 thereafter. When this 1s ap'
piled to building and loan associations
it is practically prohibitive tax. the
associations claim, for livestock OF the
associations is hot paid up for ten or
twelve years after the tax is de-
manded, and at the time OF incorpora'
ton the stock is practically valueless.
