sor If proper provision is not made
for the continuance of the service, the
effect will be felt in the whole coun.

"The great army Of the postal en-

continue their service because 1T is
forbidden by the statute.
Upon these employees are at least
one million dependent for their living.
At one blow need will come upon
them with all it's attendant hardships
misery and hunger.
"A great many postoffice leases will
expire automatically; contracts for
envelopes, twine and other materials
used in quantities in the service, will
become imperative and the great
I plants which furnish the commodities
to the government will have to close
their doors, or cut their force to theil
limit. Important letters cannot ever
be sent, much less delivered.

sented the claims of Governor Mar

arranged to make up in music and
noise for what they lacked in num-

Indiana band safely cached in one Of
the front rooms, while in another
was drilled chorus of lusty-throated
rooters primed to show Baltimore
what was considered the real thing in
enthusiasm out-Hoosier way AS
Shively mentioned Marshall's name,

OF HOME PUBLICITY.

Ames, July 29.-Some knowledge of
advertising live stock and other farm
products is to be added to the equip
ment of the up-to-date agriculturists
who graduate from Iowa state college
in the future. A course in agricul-
tural advertising has just been added
to the instruction given in the depart
ment of agricultural journalism. 1t
will be conducted by F. w. Beckman,
head OF the department and it will
combine study of the fundamental
principles Of advertising with practice
in writing agricultural advertising
copy. Consideration will be given
to advertising in the home weekly for
farm advertising.
This course is added in response
to a demand for it from our students"
said Dean Chas. F. Curtiss. "The mod
ern farmer is using more and more ad-
vertising space. The live stock breed
ers OF Iowa are today investing some
hundreds of thousands Of dollars a
year in advertising his products. This
expenditure is going to increase and
the coming agriculturist ought to know
something about advertising so he may
spend his hundreds Of thousands to the
best advantage"

Recommendation to the United
States Steel corporation-That in the
blast furnaces and rolling mills three
shifts of men, working eight hours
each, ought to take the place Of two
shifts OF men working twelve hours
each.'
The republicans take up the ma
jority report and criticise it In detail.
In disputing the findings Of fact the
minority report says:
by singing out unusual Incidents
and unusual evidence, selecting un.
usual years, unusual prices, and un-
usual practices as a standard OF COM
parison, the majority has created an
overdrawn picture portraying diaboli-
cal ingenuity and sinister malevolence
as the characteristics of the United
States Steel corporation officials"
The report of Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, is In
dorsed by the minority for the most
part They agree with him that of the
81, 400, 600, 900 of capital of the steel
corporation in April. 1901, $600,000,-
600 or $700,OO0,0O0 was water. They
also agree that for the decade from
1901 to 1910 the trust earnings aver
aged from II to IL per cent. The
minority further finds that the steel
corporation has generally fixed prices
and independents have followed
The Gary dinners are said to be "the
gast-onomic shadow Of the price un-
derstandings rather than their sub
stance"
"The system of interlocking direct.
crates has insidious disadvantages
which no man can guage,' says the
report. 1--WE doubt the wisdom Of their
absolute prohibition, unless regulation
shall fail to abate their evil"
The report devotes the following
paragraph to the labor situation in
steel trust plants:
"The labor situation in certain
manufacturing departments OF the
steel industry has always been bad.
and today is bad AS rule, in the
plants Of the corporation conditions
are better than in the plants Of the
independents. In the rolling mills and
blast furnaces men often have been
required to work, or at all events re- !
main on more or less exacting duty,
for twelve hours day for seven days
a week. Incredible as it may seem, the
fact is indisputable. 1t is true that a
blast furnace must be kept going hight
and day. II it is extinguished it Is
ruined. We believe that the corpora
ton Is substantially improving this
situation, but we can not forbear
from uttering the suggestion that
three shifts of eight hours each ought
to take the place of two shifts OF
twelve hours each"
