OBITUARY..
Harriet II. Ayres.

Harriet H. Ayres was born In Van
Buren, county, Iowa, near " inchester.
September Is, 1887. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Price, who were the first white set
tiers of Van Buren, county. July 81,
1853 she was united In marriage to
William Ayres, who preceded her IN
death not quite two years. 10 this
union were born eight children, Mrs.
Kittie Sage, Amasa j., Thaddeus, Mel
lie, Ella, Charles c., Harry L., ana
Oracle ", Thaddeus, Ella, Nellie,
Amasa and Oracle having passed on
before her The deceased was sick but
a week and three days and though ner
suffering was something terrible she
was ever patient, always willing to
do anything she was hidden and never
once murmurng at anything. She
was only conscious at times, scarcely
ever knowing the three loved ones
who were constantly by her. She was
a kind neighbcr and all who knew
her loved her. Since the death OF
her companion, not quite two years
ago, she seemed to decline gradually
and often said to her family II shall
not be here in the spring Her hus-
band told her, she would not survive
him quite two years, and while racked
with pain, she was heard to say, 1T 1s
almost two years now, as pa said 1t
would be-" She was doting mother,
living in her children. Their Joys were
her joys, their sorrows her sorrows:
Mother Ayres has left us; we shall
see her kind face among us no more; :
never again shall we be comforted by
her sweet words of consolation, but
on the other shore she will be waiting
and watching for the coming OF the
phantom bark that will bring her three
remaining loved ones to her, there II
be again united in an unbroken fam
lily where there shall be no more
good-bys, and where no farewell tears
are shed.
God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ing, neither shall there be any more
pain; for the former things are passed
away" -Contrlouteu.

At SHOE MANUFACTURERS
Doubted SINCERITY
Ottumwans Told Dcs Moines Concern
That It Would Have to Get
Busy II It Came To This
City.

The story appearing in this morn
ing's dispatches from Des Moines tt
the effect that the Bentley & Ohm
stead shoe factory would remain ir
Des Moines did not create any surprise
in the ranks Of the Commercial asso
citation members who as a COMMITTEES
called upon the shoe concern recently
with view to have them locate here
John Wormhoudt, one Of the commit
tee when approached said that the
committee did not feel at any time
that the shoe company was sincere
and told the men of the firm SO when
calling at Des Moines. He said the
shoe people said that labor was toe
high in Des Moines and that it was
hard to keep the men in employment
because of the dissatisfaction they
evinced at frequent intervals. The
shoe company were then told, said
Mr.. Wormhoudt, that the Ottumwans
did not take such talk seriously and
that II the factory was to come to OF
itumwa 1t would have to abide by Ger
tain conditions that the Ottumwa1ls
say were favorable to a concern that
was sincere in it's overtures. The
story given out in the dispatches over
week ago, was said by Mr.. Worm
houdt to be, in his opinion, a club over
Des Moines to bring out better in.
ducement to keep the factory there.
Will Stay In Des Moines.
The following story was issued from
Des Moines today:
Bentley & Olmsted's shoe factory
will remain in Des Moines.
Negotiations between the CONNER
cial organizations Of the city and the
shoe manufa cturers started yesterday
when meeting was held on the sec
ond floor Of the Capital City bank
building late in the afternoon. 1t is
understood that quick agreement Is
probable.
Though no official statement was
given out either by the Bentley & Ohm
sted directors or by any of the com
organizations, it was reported
In business circles that the sale OF
$4,000 worth of preferred stock with
the boosters guaranteeing 3 per cent
dividends for period of six years
formed the proposition which the shoe
company desired as an inducement to
remain in Des Moines.
Recently 1t was announced by F. q.
Hubbell at the Greater Des Moines
committee meeting that Bentley 4
Olmsted planned to accept a contract
made by the Ottumwa Commercial
club. However, it is reported that the
conservative element in the directory
board advocates building factory IN

manufacturing states Of Maine, New

touch Canada. 1t would only be mat

1t ought to be easy to see that.
Let us Investigate moment The
cheap and fertile lands Of Canada pro-

permit of extensive farming on an i'm

buys his machinery in free trade
market and gets his labor in the same
market. Even with the limited market
Canada has now, it has been so at
tractive that thousands Of men. and
women and millions of dollars from
Iowa and surrounding states have
gone there at our expense and to our
less. Suppose, now, we open to Canada
the markets of the United States,
wouldn't Canada be still more attrac-
tive and take away much more Of the
best of our population?
These are not theories. They are
facts and conditions as they actually
exist. have mentioned the farmer,
because, in this measure he is the one
hit. But We must remember that we
are all concerned. If we curtail the
ability of the farmer to buy, we put
out of business the factory that is
making what he buys. A failure in any
one branch Of our productive or man
systems, hurts all others.
Our interests are mutual and interde-
pendent. We cannot 50 aim the gun
that if 1t is calf it will miss and If 1t
is deer it will kill It Is time to do
some thinking. A. F. Armer.
