KEEP OWN DooRYARDs
CLEAN is HIS ADVICE

There was rather small attendance
Friday night at the initial meeting OF
the trades unionists' revival, held in the
| east court room. 1T was an attentive
| and intelligent lot of working men,
| however, and they were both interested
and edited by the address of R. E. Per-
rim, of Sioux City, president Of the
Iowa and Nebraska district of the
electrical workers union.
Mr.. Perrin makes no pretension Of
being an orator, but he is good talk
er. earnest, direct and plainly UNDER
stood. He spoke from the standpoint
of the electrical workers and said he
thought they had conditions to meet
such as confront no other organization,
largely because of the formidable and
relentless opposition Of the Bell teIe-
phone interests.
The electrical organization was con-
fined formerly almost exclusively to the
Western Union telegraph operators, but
its scope has been greatly enlarged
Organized i've years ago, the district
now has membership Of LOCO in the
two states named, and Mr.. Perrin
is chairman Its foundation was laid in
Marshalltown, several years ago, at the
annual Federation of Labor conven-
ton. During the past fiscal year, end
ing March 81, there were 1913 new mem
bers added, Twenty-Five wage scales
were handled and but one of these was
lost.
Mr.. Perrin described the electrical
workers methods Of organising, fl
naneial plans. etc., and told Of the diff
dculties in getting efficient field work
ers, and troubles with all kinds Of
amateurs. de believed the electrical
union methods were applicable to 9TH
er trades bodies. He emphasized the
necessity Of organization first, follow
ed by individual effort Of the members.
Boosters are needed in every locality
and the sincere man in overalls Is the
successful one. esot
The speaker thought the entire union
proposition in Marshalltown could be
materially strengthened. There are as
good union men here as anywhere in
the STATE" said Mr.. Perrin. IF
bunch of fellows no larger than that az
this meeting will see to keeping their
own dooryards clean and strive to keep
up the interest, much can be accom-
plished. The burden always falls on the
few" He said that il the members
would be MORE regular in attending the
meetings instead OF going to the show.

LOST HIS DESIRE
FOR DRINK
Fort Dodge, Iowa, Man After Drink
ing for Many Years to Excess
Lost His Desire for Liquor
!. Wa. Not Caused by Sickness.

The physical man is just as much
of a mystery in some cases as the
mental man. A well-known Fort
Dodge man, who had drank liquor to
excess for many years, suddenly loses
his desire, cravings and appetite for
drink, and does not touch a drop now
and could not be induced to, under
any circumstances. In speaking of
the matter the other day, he said:
after three days at the Neal Insti-
tute, Des Moines, that treatment took
from me all desire, after being hard
drinker for many years This is
losing ones appetite for liquor sud-
denly, when 1t Is considered that this
man was hard drinker for many
years. The Neal Institute, corner
FIFTH and Center, Des Moines. Iowa,
IS filed with patients all of the time
AS soon as a patient is cured and
discharged at the end of three days
and his room is empty, there are
others ready and waiting to take it.
We understand that there are no
hypodermic injections given with this
treatment, and that a plain printed
bond contract is given each patient
agreeing to effect a perfect cure in
three days or refund the money on
The third day, whether the treat
ment is taken at the institute or in

Robert w. Stevens, county treasurer,
| makes his announcement today as a
candidate for denomination before the
republican primaries in June. It is
hardly expected that Mr.. Stevens will
have any opposition, as he is now serv-
ing his first term. He is asking only
the customary endorsement of the
voters
Mr.. Stevens has given a very eff
Gent and competent administration Of
his office, and during the month Of
February, the heavy tax payment
month. has collected $4,000 more In
taxes than the year preceding. While
he does not claim any especial credit
for this accomplishment it is cited to
show that the office is pursuing an
aggressive course in tax collections.
Mr. Stevens is a native of this coun-
ty. being son of the late Xerxes c.
Stevens, one of the pioneers of Logan
township, who lived near Vancleve in
an early day. The elder Mr.. Stevens,
in fact, was responsible for the nam
ing of Logan township, in honor of
John A. Logan, whom Mr.. Stevens
admired greatly. Bob" Stevens has
today a faded piece of paper that he
prizes very highly. 1t Is letter to his
father from Mr.. Logan, bearing Logar's
autograph in which the famous gen
tleman from Illinois" thanked Mr..
Stevens for the honor of naming the
Marshall county township Logan.
Mr.. Stevens last residence in this
city has covered a period Of the past
twenty years. For twelve years he was
employed continuously in the MARSHALL
town State Bank. He resigned his po-
sition to become deputy county treas
urer, and served five years under ].

Highest Fail" Mrs. Conway first read
the story in German, and then gave

gram was an address by Mrs. G. J..
Scheeler, in which she related many
of her personal experiences on the
Rhine trip. while abroad. and de-
scribed many scenes along that famous
stream. She illustrated her talk by
tracing the journey on a large map of
| the Rhine country. She stopped in the
middle of her address, for the German
club ladies to sing die Lorelei," and
at the close still another appropriate
song, Die wacht Am Rhein," was
given. The afternoon proved most en-
joyab1e one.
Mrs. Howard D. Wilbur sang with
the club women, and Miss Marguerite
Lewis accompanied them on the violin.

Germany and England are now
