Gently been erected by the Indian
apolis Light and Heat Company, In
dianapolis, Ind, where provision has
been made for submerging $4,000 tons
of coal under water to prevent spon-
taneous combustion. The plant has a
total storage capacity of $4,000 tons
and provides against coal shortage
due to strikes at the mines or on the
railroads and to car shortage on the
railroads.
The plant consists of a large con-
crete pit, 300 feet long by 100 feet
wide and 2S feet deep. 1t is eighteen

Through the middle of the pit,

piers placed fifteen feet apart, which
support a trestle on which there runs
a standard gauge track. A standard
fifteen ton locomotive crane and grab

of them w9e elected as members of

Great Lesson from a Little Land

A visit to Sweden and Swedish ma
chine shops shows the important fact
that the greater part of what one sees
is intended for export. Sweden is
small nation, having a population of
less than 100000, and her manufac-
turers have been compelled to reach
out for foreign trade. This they have
done, successfully. and in some cases
81 per cent. of shops product goes
abroad
1t is not too much to say that the
most important group of manufac-
tured articles. and the one which
promises the greatest growth in the
future. is the building of machines
and tools. The progress in this line

Canal Opening md Canal Tolls.
From the New York Tribune.
The flooding of the entire isthmian
canal is reminder that the question
of discriminating tolls, thus far aca-
demic, will soon become intensely
practical. 1t must be obvious that
that question ought to be definitely
settled, to the satisfaction or at least
the conviction of all concerned, before
a single toll-paying vessel passes
through the canal.
1t is not disclosed upon what ground
the London Times reports that Presi-
dent Wilson has come to the conclu-
sion that the British view of the mat
ter is correct and that "all nations"
in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty include
the United States. There is little
doubt, however. that the ground is
ample and that the information is
correct. and 1t may unhesitatingly be
added that if Mr.. Wilson has reached
that conclusion he has done wisely
and well.
The United States is winning ever
lasting renown and praise by it's sue
cessful completion of a task that for
four centuries has been the worlds
desire. 1t cannot afford to have the
splendor of that achievement tar
nished by even a single act of dubious

The nabob Of tho east. who has never
been west Of the Ohio river, has q
vague idea Of the greatness Of the
central and middle western states, and
has never outsrown his early grammar
school training. when he was taught
to believe that the Mississippi valley
was waste land Inhabited principally
by red skins and bob cats. The simon
pure easterner never parts with this
cherished early impression until he has
screwed his courage to the point Of TAX
Ing q western trip.
Such q nabob, en- route to the far
west. passed thru Marshalltown on tho
Hawkeye special. He was amazed at
what he had noted from the rear Of the
observation car as the train sped over
the prairie land Of Illinois and Iowa.
and when the train paused in this city
for few minutes he swung down from
the car to converse with the natives to
verify from them what he had seen but
failed to believe.
Attracted by the uniform Of Charles
! Deuel.. train caller and general en-
cyclopedia. he approached that official
to inquire what town he was in

done az much to advertise Marshall
| town as any man within the city limits.
! Without giving the traveller any oppor-
| tunity to question him further. the train
caller rapidly gave him many facts con-
| corning the city He was told the
population, advised Of the natural adj
vantages, Of the central location, the
/ nature of the industries and many other
| things that everyone who is interested
in Marshalltown, or who ought to be
| interested, should know.
| When told of the Fisher Governor
Company and their worldwide trade
/, the traveller was amazed and seemed
unable to comprehend why factory
, which could ship it's products to all
parts of the world should be located
in the far west" He was further
mystified when told of the Durham
Company, the Marshall Oil Company
the Lennox Furnace Company, the
| Western Grocer mills, the Marshalltown
Trowel Company and the many other
/ manufacturing plants Of the city.
| rs it possible ?" was all that the poor
man could calculate.
| His dream Of the west had been sadly
shattered. He had anticipated a sight
of rowing savages on circus bronchos
pursuing the train and an occasional
| peek Of a stage coach winding its way
over rough trails covered with alkal1
| dust.
"By jove." said the stranger, as he
climbed back into the car, 81 wouldn't
have believed 1t. Oh, what did you say
was the name Of this town."
"Marshalltown," responded the train
caller There is only one Marshall
town in the United States, and this is
1t. Keep 1t in mind and when you want
to get away from the slow going east
and get into a live town just remember
Marshalltown."
The nabob had learned something
but his confidence in the old geogra
phies he studied when boy and in the
wild west" aggregations that tour the
east had been badly shaken.
