HOLLANDS WOODEN SHOES.

We import Dutch wooden shoes. Sew.
eral thousand pair, 600 cases, have just
been shipped from Amsterdam to
Grand Rapids, Mich. This is the sec.

writes from that city:

worn in Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey and few, other
states. In fact, it is claimed that there
is more. wooden footwear in Chicago,
Grand Rapids or Holland, Mich, than
in the city of Amsterdam. Paterson, N.
j., st. Louis, Mo-, Lancaster county,
Nebraska, Marion county, Iowa. and a
numerous other smaller settlements
import large quantities of this practi-
cal article Of dress every year.
1.-THE wooden-shoe industry in the
Netherlands is generally decentralized,
logs being hewn out to the measure Of
the customers feet in the village shoe
shop. The local price depends largely
upon the amount of lumber used and
the market price of the raw material.
There are, however, few large fac
tories using modern woodworking ma
chinery and exporting most of their
product The principal countries to
which they export, in the order of their
importance, are the United States, and
Canada, West Indies. Germany and

The street in front OF the Wapello

held was packed with thousands OF
people and as President Taft left the
hall at 8 o'clock and was
whirled away in an automobile
to his train, he was greeted
with cheers and God speed that must
have made him feel that the people
of Ottumwa and southeastern Iowa
trusted and revered him as their
worthy chief magistrate.

visitors, chumps of editors like the
writer. and 1t was a mighty busy time
for Otumwa all around. Even Ottun-
wa, although a big and lively town, Is
not used to presidential parties every
week.
But we must say that the town
handled the affair very nicely. There
did not seem to be hitch and every
thing moved OFF just like clock work.
The automobiles were waiting for the
Taft party and lot of local big wigs
and strangers within the gates were
loaded into the machines and made
the tour Of the city and paraded orr
reviewed the school children or were
reviewed by them. and then on to the
! ball grounds.
Ottumwa was very prettily decorat-
| ed. The streets were all aglow with
flags and bunting but 1t was surprising
the absence of Taft pictures in the
business houses.
The main street was the prettiest
and the next street was almost as
finely decorated. The Wapello club
was beautifully arrayed IN its Sunday
best and the town was proud OF It. I
noticed with pleasure that Nick Reeds
drug store was just as handsomely
dressed up as any Of the republican
places. Nick, by, the way, is our demo-
cratic state chairman, and also he is
not a candidate against Judge Wade
for national committeeman. Nick
wants nothing but democratic victory
and whoever started the lie that he Ia
out to beat Wade lied and knew he
lied.
We visited the Ottumwa Courier Of

this kind of printing presses. They
all work with q rush about this time Of
day but we kept out OF their way and
they treated us with great politeness.
Which makes me conclude that the
world is getting better. 1t is not the
custom nowadays in the big towns to
make game of the country fellows.
They have learned that everybody ID

went. Everybody we asked for infor.

got it. Maybe Ottumwa had on ita

its best foot forward, the saying is, but
any way, there was courtesy on every

Keosauqua Republican, Ottumwa,
city Of $4,000 inhabitants, does things,
and the doing is about right. It Is a
city Of wonderful enterprise. and as a
commercial center is surpassed by no
city in the state This condition Is In
part attributable to the fact that all
elements in Ottumwa, the merchant,
the wholesaler, the retailer, the hotel
and restaurant proprietor, the profess
sional man and the employe, work in
harmony to as complete an extent as
can be found in any community in
Iowa.
Last Friday President Taft visited
Ottumwa and the reception given him
was great. 1t was great in its cordiality,
great in detail and smoothness of man
agement and great in the throngs of
people In attendance. 1t Is said that
the decorations Of business houses and
residences were never so elaborate In
this city as on last Friday. It was a
sight that was inspiring to look upon,
and the scene for three-fourths Of a
mile or more along Main street that
afternoon, as passed the parade OF
seventy automobiles, marching troops
In uniform, bands Of music, waving
flags, with the mass Of cheering
humanity that packed the sidewalks
from buildings to curb, was one of
patriotic demonstration and inspira-
ton that the observer will never for
get. 1t was not a tribute of party mem
bers to their leader, but was tribute
of members of all parties, patriotic
citizenship, to their national executive.
Democrats of Ottumwa were just as
active and just as earnest in extend
ing the welcome to the president as
We're the republicans, and to the credit
of the splendid citizenship of Ottumwa
as whole must be the honor of what
is pronounced by the Associated Press
reporters, the greatest of all the re.
ceptions given the president during

E,RE pREvENTtoN DAY.

Governor Carroll and state Flie
Marshal Roe are planning to follow
the example Of several other or tne
states and set aside some fixed date
AZ .fre prevention day." In INDIANA
and Illinois October 8 is designated.
This IL the anniversary OF the great
chicago fire. Fire Marshal Roe says
that "people are not careful about DO
ing the things that prevent disastrous
blazes until they have been through a
fire that has hit them personally. he
believes the people should be educated
~ take the same precautions before as
thew take after the fire has hit them
The idea OF fire prevention day IS
vel sat forth In the following state
ment by Mr.. Roe: ).
"Fires are easily preventable II

"On fire prevention day the peo'

personal attention to the removal OF

examine chimneys and fAles tnat
breakage and cracks may be properly
repaired. and that for all time they
discontinue the burningof refuse ana ans
the piling up OF rags and grass and
other articles which when subjected TO

81 think it would be a good plan
also to instruct the children in the
public schools with regard to the fire
hazard Of matches, gasoline and other
volatile oils, and the first principles

The people might not lend general
cooperation to such q plan at once
hut there is no doubt that its educa.
tional features would prove beneficial
and bring about more general observ-
ance in the future. At any rate the
plan is worth q trial. Too much atten-
ton cannot be given to the necessity

fires. Our large annual fire waste is

Washington Democrat: OF course,
! know there are a great many people
who like to say, "By Gosh, wouldn't
walk across the road to see the presi-
dent" but l am just enough Of a hero
worshipper to 60 to Ottumwa to see
President Taft. Not that I have been
for him or his policies. II that might in
terest you as assume 1t does not. but
because he is the president OF the
United States and therefore, chief
executive for democrats as we'll as
republicans, and he has shown him
self bigger than mere partisan for
he appointed good democrat to office
now and then, although he refused to
give me the Washington post office
when asked him for 1t at Ottumwa.
I shall relate some of the incidents
of the trip by beginning at the wrong
end or the last end, the Taft end Of it,
and If you are interested. you may read
it and if not, there will be no hard
feelings
The presidential train came to Of
tumwa from Abba where he had given
a short stop and brief talk and folks
at Ottumwa acted just like they do in
the pictures you see or like they did
at q hr...dred other places where he
stopped. Boys and men were on top OF
boz cars in the yards to see the presl
dent better. Boys and girls climbed
up on top OF the depot porch or shed.
OF what ever It is you call the shed
ouer the tracks. in order that they
might sea better. Everybody wanted
to use and be seen. Taft came into
town about 4:05, although scheduled
for 1920. It was beautiful train he
came in on. It was a New York Cen
trail outfit and composed wholly OF
Pullmans. He had taken this train at
Boston and it will take him and his
party to the Pacific coast. Everything
is of the best that railroad skill and
railroad money can procure. The car
he rides in was built especially for
Taft and when he is through with it,
it goes into the regular service, as you
may know.
Ottumwa big wigs were all as busy
as a lot of women at q missionary
meeting and acted just as funny as
we would in Washington under like
conditions, as we are all very much
alike. Human nature Is alike. There
were reception committees and fin
ancial committees and executive
committees, and they had found 1t
necessary to be careful In appoint,
ing these committees SO that they
would not offend somebody or leave
somebody off that ought to have
been on and everything had to be
handled by diplomat SO that nobody
would have his toes trod on. Frank

an old hen with one chicken. Major
