COMMUNITY MEETING
Continued from page y

Added to this New York is the
dramatic center of the country. The
stage presents the life and ideals of
our day. All the plays Of import
ance are staged in this cosmopolitan
city, and receive upon them the
stamp of the city's ideals, which as
we have seen, are likely to be not
as much those of the new world, as
those Of Europe. These people have
brought with them customs which
seem right to them but wrong to
us-among others the open Sab
bath, which the speaker declared
must be kept as a religious day
rather than gala day, if it is to
remain day of rest. An open Sab
bath, he believes, means seven work
ing days for evry week of the year.
In closing Mr.. Burchenal men,
toned the fact that the country,
owing to modern invention, is near
er together than ever before, urging
recognition of individual respon-
sibility,-the responsibility of the
educated, the responsibility of the
moral and religious, quoting the
words of the great thinker, Web
ster, who, when asked for his great
est thought, replied, my individ-
ual responsibility to Almighty
God -
Light refreshments were served
during which selections on the
piano and violin were rendered by
Miss Wilson and Mr.. McAvoy.
The next community meeting will
be held on Monday, April 18th, the
program for which will be an
in a later issue.

OskalOOSa will profit in Il big way
by the recent property loss of the
Marshall Oil company. The OSka-
ooSa distribution plant of the Mar
shall Oil company is to be rebuilt
Immediately, but on a larger and
better scale than before. The new
plant that will replace the buildings
and the property destroyed in the big
blaze Of last week will be of per
mancnt and firc-prOOf character. The
larger warehouses and office building
will be of brick over concrete and
cement basement and of larger di-
mansions than the old building.
l.. r. Willard, OF MarshalltOwn,
and an officer of the company, was in
town Tuesday in company with the
adjuStOrs of the insurance claims
and others interested in the company
and the property. Seen by Herald

tiated the rumors that the Oskaloosa
property destroyed is to be replaced
and rebuilt and he added that the

of far more substantial character
than the former - equipment. And
moreover" added Mr.. Willard, 1T Will
be built of OskaIoosa material and by

started soon, as quick. in fact as ar.
arrangements can be made and material
can be placed on the ground.
