John A. Earl. president of Des Moines
College, at the public library Friday
evening, before the Historical Society
of Marshall County. DR.. Earl dwelt
on the influence the west has exerted
upon the settlement of the country at

was caused by the over population of
the east, according to DR.. Earl, and
besides this the adventuresome spirit
of the American people ed them to ex
plore the country, going farther and
farther west.
DR. Earl spoke of the characteristics
developed by the people who lived in
the west, that is in the country from
the Mississippi to the coast He said
that the radical and pushing movement
of recent years. including socialism,

LOCAL COMMENT

Inspection OF the store Easements
where goods are stored and where
boxes are opened should be rigid and
complete. Whether the basement Is
packed with goods in an orderly man
ner or whether. as is often the case 1t
is filled with boxes and scattered pack
ing paper and excelsior. Easements
where heating plants are located and
where a carelessly dropped match OF
cigaret or cigar butt may bring about
a general conhagration, should be sub
ject to inspection without warning to
the owner or tenant The recent dis
astrous fires should set every merchant
cleaning up his basement, inspecting
his heating plant and observing the
habits of those who have entry to the
basement The clerk who slips down
into the basement for draw at Gig
aret or cigar is potential danger ana
should be reformed or fired before ne
fires anything else.
&
Another custom that might be
dropped to advantage is that of COW
ering windows with advertising matter
and leaving it there during a sale week
or sale month 1t shuts off the view or
the interior from the street and no
doubt prevents earlier alarm by pas
sersby or patrolmen.
Sometimes Il calamity is required TO
teach Il lesson. TWO fires within few
days involving loss aggregatlng more
than Sl50,000 should bring some sort OF
lesson along with them. A fire IS al
ways a loss whatever the insurance
may have been. it means the destruc-
ton of mans labor and the doing OF II
all over To be sure every calamity
has its gain as well as its loss. Better
buildings usually go up on the site OF
those thus destroyed but that which fire
destroys is lost Somebody pays for
it as a loss. And in many cases those
who suffer pay for carelessness, either
of their own or of others. OF fires
as OF disease the old adage holds true
q pound of cure.
And speaking of inspection by BUSH
ness houses the same advice is timely
as to residences. As an incident one
of the editors of this paper wonders
why his house didn't burn down dur
ing cold snap early in the month.
The furnace didn't draw and heat and
was being crowded 1t was an old
furnace More by accident than as
result of investigation twas discovered
that the smoke pipe had slipped away
from the furnace and that the flames

was more the result of good luck than
good sense that the house didn't burn
down before the discovery was made.
In spells of cold weather when
heating plants are working full time an
inspection OF the attachments and bet
ter yet a skilled inspection of the heat
ing apparatus are merely sensible and
precautionary measures.

irregular declines and a fair degree Of
activity marked the dealings on the Phil
adelphia Exchange during the greater
part of today's session. At first weakness
developed In Baldwin Locomotive, which
cost II more than a point loss. but n rally
set In later In which most Of the decline
was cancelled. When the New York stock
market turned weak around midday,
Baldwin slipped back again. Meanwhile
Cramp Shpbullding shares and Lake STU
periUr were in good demand and both ad-
vanced. the latter being aided by optlm-
istic predictions of increasing orders for
rails as we'll rs war supplies The quo
tntlon did not hold, however, when the
general list turned heavy.
Light pressure appeared against United
states Stet and Reading, each receding
moderately. and Pennsylvania also was
inclined to sag. Keystone Telephone pro-
ferred fell 2lk and Consolidated Traction

Money remained easy, and local bankers
say It IS fairly certain to remain so

of stlff money, even though the crop
moving period Is upon us. To be sure,
Europe Is steadily llqudating American
securities. but the volume has not been
sufficient to cause a material advance in
foreign exchange rates. AS an illustra-
tion of the present ease OF money here
came the news that 100000 loan was
