George II. and Harry Carbon have
returned from the big cement show
and the convention of national ce-
ment workers at Chicago. G. II. says
the show exceeded any previous sea
son. The number of attractions
crowded out on account of limited
space and late application for accom-
modations would have made big
show. No less than forty-siX appli-
cations for space were turned down.
Miss Lillian Tice left last evening
for Chicago to attend the millinery
displays and buy goods.
Ray Hauser, day clerk at the Down

OF a former Oskaloosa resident,
the Washington Democrat says:
This column considers Sheep Tay-
lor an exceedingly honest man. The
week before his sale, he ran an ad
in this paper that was larger than
he had expected and he paid what
was agreed upon. But the next week
after he had seen. how big the ad was,
he came in and paid an additional
half dollar because he had too much
space for his money and we call that
an honest man and we will vote for
Sheep for deacon in our church"
Fremont Gazette: The Gazette is
enjoying it's usual rush of job work
during February and March, but this
year it is a tri[e more rushing than
usual and the orders larger, neCCssi-
tating more help. We have secured
the services of Herb Johnson, Of Os-
kaIoOSa, an experienced pressman
and feeder, who will help us for a
few weeks. He has been employed
in the Herald press rooms for three
years until this fall when he took a
in n nfflrn n I)pnl-
son, but gave it up week ago and
returned home. He is mighty good
workman, and a fine young man. We
have enough work ahead to keep our
Gordon, running at 1926 an hour,
busy ten hours a day for the next
thirty days. and Herb says he can
handle it all right.
OF a former we'll known OskaloOsa
boy, and county superintendent of
schools, the Chicago Daily News of
February 10, says: water Wealth
and Water Waste is the comprehen-
sive title of an excellent illustrated
address that lately has been added
to the long list of entertainments in
The Daily News free lecture courses.
1t is delivered by Charles A. Kent,
principal of the Field school of Chi
cago, who is an enthusiastic student
OF water conservation. Abundance
or scarcity OF water for the varied
needs of mankind, as it is supplied
or denied by nature in different re-
gions of the world, are treated in his
| lecture. Emphasis is laid upon the
degree to which mankind il depend
ent on an adequate water supply for
! his subsistence and upon the profia-
gate manner in which natures re-
sources are wasted where they are
supplied in abundance. With that
waste he contrasts the extremities to
which man is put for meager sup
: ply of water in some other regions.
For the illustration of this address
Mr.. Kent has many stcreopticon
scenes that are notable for their
beauty" In this connection it is of
Interest to mention Mr.. Kent's re.
cent promotion to the coveted first
group principalship" class, which
carries with IL automatic annual sal
airy advance, with no further required
professional study. on to a maximum
iof $4,000 in about five years. Per-
| haps not without interest also is the
fact that by the generosity of a
wealthy and public-spirited North
Side woman, four series of Chicago
Region Studies each mounted on
map paper, forty inches high and ten
feet eight inches long. and worked
out by Mr.. Kent, have been prepared
for use In every Chicago elementary
school, and for sale outside, cover
ing the geography, history and de-
velopment Of the Chicago Region.
