ly left all but the second daughter in
the home, Miss Mary, who grew worse.
A physician was called and everything
possible was done, but to no avail and
she died In great agony. The family
is at loss to know the source of the
poison as they cannot recall eating
anything unusual and probably they
will never learn just what was the real
cause. Mary Grace Rank was the
second daughter of Findley and Grace
Rank and was born in Riverton on
October 6, 1901.

Des Moines, Feb. 3.-Labor interests
are watching the legislative session
with great care. Representatives OF
labor unions are on the ground pre-
pared to urge good legislation and to
head off anything that might DE inim-
ical. Thus far few hearings have been
given to the bills in which the laboring
people are interested, but they will
be given on all the bills. Here are
the most important measures in which
the laboring people are interested:
Free text books. There are bills
before the legislature directing and
compelling all districts to buy text
books for the children In the schools.
Voting away from home. The labor
ing men say that they are just as
much interested in this as are the
travelling men or other classes Of vot-
ers. This is especially true of railroad
men. The bills that will accomplish
this have not yet been introduced.
Requiring special shot flrers in
mines. Iowa provides for an inspector
of shot firing in mines. What is want
ed is employment of special shot
firer, to set off the blasts, and to re-
quire that no firing be done until every
person has come out of the mine. 1t
is stated this would save many lives.
Iowa uses more powder per ton Of
coal than any other state Of the union
and has practically no regulation of

Chooses the True God.'-Ruth ].
(By William T. Ellis.)

One day I was riding up from the
Jordan valley, through rocky defile,
into the land of Moab. There came
toward us little company of the sort
often seen in the migratory east.
There was first the man, afoot, and
without shoes and in poor raiment,
carrying staff Beside him walked
donkey on which rode his wife and
little child--a picture like that OF
Joseph, Mary and Jesus, fleeing to
Egypt. We tarried for moment Of
greetings by the way, and the man told
us that his home was in Beersheba,
but local famine had driven him
over into the fertile uplands of Moab,
there to work and live until harvest
should be geaned. Now he was on his
way home.
The incident was SO like that OF
Elimelech and Naomi and their two
sons that it has stayed in my memory.
Famine, which comes SO quickly and
easily to primitive people living al.
ways near the hunger line, had sent
these Bethlehemites to the east. They
had crossed the Jordan above the Dead
Sea. On the high plain Of Moab,

Labor Interests Watching Closely
for Passage of Certain Legislation
BY ORA WILLIAMS
before they are ready for
BY ORA WILLIAMS

committees before they are ready for
action.
Semi-monthly pay bill on railroads.
There Is complaint among the railroad
men that the monthly pay day lends
itself to bad debts and money borrow
ing.
The railroad men want a law passed
defining full crew for a freight or
passenger train. Similar laws are in
many states. They also want a law
travels over line, an engine without
cars, it shall have conductor or pilot,
as to run it loose means danger to all
other trains.
Some effective legislation to meet
the loan shark evil Is being framed
up, but the bill the laboring interests
will back has not yet been introduced.
They are very DESTROYS of having this
matter cleared up.
The laboring men. especially the
railroad men, want some form of regu-
lation or control of autos at grade
crossings.
The appropriations committee, after
more than two hours of discussion and
debate, after several tie votes on vari-
Gus propositions, after much heated
controversy and many suggestions as
to what to do, asked a subcommittee
to frame up bill to be reported to the
senate providing for $4,000 to be ap-
priated in aid Of the exhibitors for
Iowa at the Panama-Pacific exposition
at San Francisco. The bill Is to pro-
vide that the money be placed in the
hands of a special commission to be
appointed by the governor to be used
in aid Of the work Of the commission
named by the Greater Iowa associa-
ton, but the bill will designate the
purposes for which certain items are
to be used and divide up the appro-
priation as between the conflicting
interests.
