he expects to return to the west this

Louis this week in attendance at the
eighth annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Sheet Metal
Contractors. Mr.. Jameson had
part on the program and in his re-
marks he took occasion to exploit
the advantages of articles made in
,Oskaloosa. His paper evidently met
with favor, as it will be published in
two different journals devoted to the
trade. About one thousand dele
gates were present at the meeting,
representing every state in the union
and most interesting and successful
convention was had.
Glenn s. Kimball, who was down on.
the program for toast at the X. of
P. banquet last evening arrived too
late to take part. He left Council
Bluffs on an early train yesterday
morning and was assured that he
would make connections at Des
Moines. Strange as it may seem how
ever the Oskaloosa Rock Island train
is scheduled to leave Des Moines two
minutes before the main line train
was carried out and Mr. Kimball was
compelled to remain in. Des Moines
all afternoon. Mr.. Kimball is prim-
inent in K. of P. circles and the ban
quet crowd missed treat by his in
ability to get here on time.

known in the days that used to be-"
After visit at Angola, Indiana, Mr..
Corey went to Coldwater, Michigan,
where he was royalty entertained
and where he had more fish. He came
home via Chicago and mixed bust
ness with the pleasure. Crop fail
