this: Is Mr.. Cosson interested In the
welfare OF the state OF Iowa or is he
only interested In the city OF Des

or woman since the passage OF the
capitol park act BY the legislature but
condemned the act. Az I look at It,
this great state Of Iowa Is composed
OF the citixenship, and as this 10 q

Nick Zuzulin, Of 319 So. Ward ST.,
will open school of blacksmithing
Nov. II which will continue until Apr.
Is. Mr.. Zuzulin is one of the most
capable machinists in the northwest
and he offers an excellent opportunity
to the yonug men to learn the art. He
has just completed a fine new con-
crete building two stories high, in
which the school will be held. He will
teach American and European weld
ing.
There is big opportunity for cap
able blacksmiths, the work in all
lines increasing so rapidly that it is
hard to find good men. A young man
could employ his time far worse than
taking a course Of instruction from
Mr.. Zuzulin, who will use only prac-
tical methods.
~ Mr.. Zuzulin announces that if any,
one has any machinery that needs re-
pairing, he will fix it free of charge
while the school is in session.
