GROCERS WILL GO TO
STATE CONVENTION

A number of Ottumwa retail groc-
ers are planning to attend the state
convention of the Retail Merchants
association at Des Moines Wednes-
day. The stores affiliated with the
association in Ottumwa will close for
the day. The holiday is being taken
because OF the fact that the stores
remained open Memorial days which
fell upon Saturday this year. While
there will be no special train for the
Ottumwans, it is expected that pos
sibly fifty Of the grocers and their en-
ployes will be present at the state
meeting. Many others will spend the
day at home in various ways.

DR.. w. B. Stoker was found guilty
of neglecting and refusing to con-
tribute to the support of his three

port of the children This order was
