.MAHASKA FEDERATION
Annual Meeting and Election of
,.. .t. Officers Occur.

Stockholders and members OF the

day evening in the League room of
the Methodist Episcopal. church for
The purpose Of electing directors, TO
hear reports and To consider other
business properly before the organiza.
ton. Officers will be selected at the
first regular meeting OF the board of
directors. c. Yer Ploeg, president OF
the Federation, presided, and minutes
were taken by Robert II. Williams,
secretary.
The following were elected direc.
tors of the organizations: Frank NJ

White, Oreu +. Schee, Roy G. Rich
&C.. Yer PlOes, Il. X, Hatcher, Thomas
I g. Reach, John |. Tony, and DR.. s.
NJ. Hadley OF Penn college.
Considerable spirit was manifest by
the meeting as the reports of the ac-
accomplishment and the efforts of the
organization were presented. The
Federation is well satisfied with what
has been done through its endeavor
and with the prevailing conditions
about Oskaloosa. which are acknowl-
edged to be much improved over n
/ few months ago.
! Detectives employed at Ottumwa
during the recent canvass for petit
| ton for consent at that place were
brought to Oskaloosa in renewed eff
fort to locate the source of the supply
of the liquor being consumed locally.
considerable effort and time were ex-
pended in the effort to secure evil
dence, but the detectives we're unable
to obtain information or evidence that
would be taken in court They stated
that some liquor was being consumed
locally but those handling it were so
cautious and careful in It's dispense
ton that the detectives were unable
to do anything.
| Considerable qualification was
found in the report that the organized
opposition to the petition for consent
in Ottumwa had stated that they in
tended to trade in Oskaloosa if Of
Itumwa went wet, preferring Oska-
loosa dry, to Ottumwa wet.
Encouraged in the work by the sue
cess OF the past, the Federation is
lalive to the local situation and will
put forth renewed efforts to maintain
tOskaloosa in the dry column. They
have won in the fight of recent
months and declare themselves ready
for another fight il necessary to hold
the town where it is today.
