counted for by the returns.

she ranks the sixth. She Is nothing il

growth of her varied manufactures
each year more than equals her growth
in population. Ottumwa is not chesty
about it even if the federal census does
show her much farther advanced in the
point of manufacturing values than her
larger sister cities. 1t is but the
natural sequence as viewed by those
| who know what Ottumwa is and what
she has to offer the average manu-
facturer in almost any line. Her institu-
lions are varied and many, and in a
few lines she is unique because of the
size of the plants and the nature of the
product. Pork packing farm ma
chinery. mining tools and mine equip
ment are among the lines in which she
is big. while in number of other lines
she is not far from the top. as may be
seen from her cigar output and clay
products. Although there is room and
