service covering two years the min
tunity. He will be the first pastor
in handsome new twenty-five thous-
and dollar house of worship in town
of about 1900 people. This was one
of the several calls recently made
for the services of Rev. Deadman and
was chosen as Offering the best OPP
portunity for effort, development and
advancement
During his administration IN Oska-
loosa, Rev. Deadman has accomplish.
ed an extensive work. He came to
the church when series of meetings
had largely increased the member
oh HE. off nj -,
the direction of developing and build
ing with the material in hand for the
future needs of the church. In his
flock of some nine hundred or more
souls, Rev. Deadman has made per-
sonal calls, aggregating around
twelve hundred a year. He has at
the same time made an acquaintance
that Is surprising in its extent. Com
ing to OskalOoSa stranger, in two
short years he becomes one OF the
best known ministers in town; he
has been called upon i'm marriage

county and in funeral services he has

Rev Deadman is a capable man. re-
sourcelul. versatile, able and he will
be missed locally. He was deserved
ly popular with the church member
ship, generally and with his congrega-
tons. Sincerest regret is expressed
that the minister is to transfer the
seat of his activities. He has made
many close friendships outside of the
church during his residence of two
years in Oskaloosa and while not in
with the change that takes
him from the city the. community in
general wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Dead
man all success and prosperity in the

PAYING FOUR PER CENT
Rate IF Interest on Bank Deposits
is Increased.

All the banks of OskalOOsa are now
paying four per cent per annum on
time deposits. The strong demand
for money and the general conditions
of the country warrant the increase
Banks in other Iowa towns have been
paying the higher rate for some time
1t is figured that this increase in earn
ings will stimulate deposits and
thereby increase the supply Of money
for loans on real estate and good per
sonal securities. The banks of Os-
kaloosa and Mahaska county were
never in more prosperous cOndi-
ton than they are now, and their
hundreds of depositors will be pleas
ed to have the banks share their
prosperity with their patrons.

claimed for his arrangement that with
1t an operator whose speed on an or
binary typewriter is fifty words a min
ute can accomplish one hundred and
seventy-fve words minute. Of course
the arrangement that sufices for the
French language would not be adapt
ed to German or to English. The
problem must be worked out separate
ly for each. But If the economy OF
the syllable keyboard is anything like
what is claimed for it, the syllable
keyboard undoubtedly will come into
universal use, and speed will gain an

MEANING OF philosophy.

Philosophy is, as somebody has
said, merely a more than usually de
termined effort to think clearly. HUI
man nature seems to have been en-
dowed with restless curiosity about
the great problems of existence. Most
of us do more or less desultory think
ing about them, and to that extent
are philosophers. The ancient Greeks
were the first to consider the prob
lens serious and they brought to bear
on them the keenest sort of intelh
gence. Since their time other keen
minds In all ages have been concerned
with them. When we get a new idea
for instance, we often feel as II we
had known 1t an the time, only 1t
had never come to the surface before
In our minds and been recognized be-
fore. Does this mean that somehow
all fragments of It come to conscious
ness? We describe a certain table as
smooth. But looked at through q
microscope 1t. seems rough. A still
more powerful glass might radically
change its appearance. Which is the
real tablet. What is behind tina dati
that our senses give us? We wondel
where we come from and what thu
real meaning of life is. These ant
similar problems come up at times u
the minds of most persons, whethe
students Of philosophy or not, say
the Kansas City Star. A considers
ton of such questions certainly tend
to widen the horizon. and to give
possible background to existence.
