promotion into the Primary room,

Junior and intermediate depart
ments with changes in location OF

The CHILD LABOR LAW
Officials Are Experiencing Some
Difficulty in Enforcement.

Officials in charge of the Child La.
Dor law are experiencing some little
difficulty with the parents, guardians
and employees of the children who
have not taken the trouble to look
into the matter And to the employ
ers having boys and girls under six
teen years OF age in their employ,
they say they should get in touch
with, and in communication with, the
authorities on this question. They
should see that such children have
permits from the Child Labor officer.
But it is the duty of the parents,
or the guardian, of such children to
make application to the officials for
the permits, at the Office of the So
cial Service League. Several work
permits have already been granted,
and as rapidly as possible investiga-
lions are being made of others who
have not complied with the law.
There seems to be some hesitancy
about giving the matter the proper
attention on the part Of some of the
employers and parents or guardians,
and these cases will be investigated
at once.

GRANGE AND SCHOOL FINE new BUNGALOW
Is Being Erected in Waveland by
Will Crozier.

Among the neat and pleasing bun
galow cottages of "Waveland," that
of viii Crozier's stands out as unique
and seems to possess al individuality
that is all its own. 1t is located
nearly opposite the True property,
and is now being plastered. The
basement is built of hollow building
tile and above the grade line is
Clipped brick blocks up to the sill
and is of frame construction above.
On the exterior, shingle work forms
a betting as high as the window stills
and Notwithstanding above. The
style is a composite of mission and
colonial and instead of being paint
ed, the wood is stained. The roof
is low and wide spreading and is
covered with asphalt shingles. Tho
interior is made up of five rooms, n
living room across the entire front,
with an open replace at the right of
the front entrance, with the brick
breast of the large fiue appearing OIL
the outside. A group of double
windows is also in front and other
windows are at the sides Back of
this room, on the right, is the dining
room and kitchen and at the left arc
two bedrooms and a bath. A neat
front porch at the front left corner
Is an attractive feature and its over
hanging roof is novelty in this part
of the country. The whole house is
modern and thoroughly convenient.
- -:--!-
Just beyond the "Y" on South 4th
street, the Traction Company have
built a switch and trestle for the
loading of ashes into the cars of the
Rock Island r. r. The Rock Island
people have also extended a switch
so that cars are now run down under
the trestle and cars are loaded from
above by being dumped. The Trac-
ton and Light People. have had this
matter under consideration for some
time.
80 -
The interior of the Rock Island
passenger station has been re-deeo,
rated and the waiting room seats re-
painted. r The exterior is now being
painted! The body of the buildings
being red and the trimming black.
The passenger station of course be-
ing of brick, the wood work only is
painted. The freight house, the
water tank and other railroad build
ings are all receiving attention. The
painting gang have two supply cars
on the side track just west of tho
passenger station. The company
are evidently fixing .up for winter.

ALMOST FOUR INCHES
Heavy Rainfall During Fourty-
Eight Hours ending this forenoon.

Three and three-fourths inches of
water fell in Oskaloosa within a per
iod of forty eight hours, Saturday till
Monday morning. Two and three
foourths inches came Saturday. Sun
day and Sunday night made another
inch, totaling three and three-fourths
inches, lacking a quarter of an inch
of being four inches, heavy precipi-
tation. The storm was made up of
a series of showers of greater or less
severity and greater or less duration.
Hence it is probable, as claimed, that
the downpour was greater in some
places than in others.
OF all of the rains of the season.
this one was the wettest The rain
is regarded as the"equinoxial storm"
Introductory of the fail season, and
according to usual conditions should

PRESIDENT MCLAUGHLIN
breaches To A Large Audience At
The Pentecostal Mission.

In spite of the stormy condition of
the day quite a large audience gath
cred at the Pentecostal Mission on
South Market street in order to hear
DIR. George A. Mclaughlin the Presi-
dent of Central Holiness University
preach. 1t is many months since DR..
Mclaughlin has spoken here and a
yaritable feast of good things was en-.
joyed by those present. Instead of
preaching a regular sermon he gave
an exegesi or in other words Bible
reading on the eleventh chapter of
st. Luke, basing his talk largely on
an analysis of and the true meaning
OF The Lords Prayer" The entire
service was a delight to all and
hearty EXPLANATIONS of approval were
frequent and sincere. With the open
ing OF the school year the Mission
seems to have taken on new life and
their services are largely attended by
various students and they are indeed
a joyous and happy crowd Charles
H. Anderson was in charge OF the
music.

GLAD TO GO BACK Home
Little Girl Found and Cared for by
Social Service League.

Possibly it will turn out to be
about the best thing which could
have happened to a little girl from
Olds, Iowa: that she decided to her
self that she was badly used at her
home, that her parents were more
fond of her sister than they were of
her. and that she would just leave
home, make her own way in the
world and possibly make her parents
sorry. At any rate Miss Ruth Nord-
quist, a sweet little girl, fourteen
years of age, borrowed money from
a grocery store in Olds and wendell
her way to OskaIoosa, arriving in
the city on the M. & ST. l.. Thursday
afternoon at three o'clock. She visit
ed the stores of the city until supper
time After supper she was taken
for a nice long walk by man with
whom she became acquainted while
enroute to Oskaloosa. The man who
took Miss Nordquist for a walk
proved to be a married man, who
lives in Oskaloosa, and whose name
the social service officers have
Miss Nordquist stayed all night at
the Iowa Hotel, and early yesterday
morning applied to Mrs. Mary Smith
at the rest room for references as to
positions where she might find work.
Mrs. Smith referred her to Miss Hol-
lyce d. Brown, the social service
worker and Miss Nordquist went
Immediately to her. She told the
story of how she was one of five chill
dren at home, that her parents did
not like her, that they favored her
fsfn n,,I haf CHI Rrn Il
cided to try life for herself, and that
her parents sent her out into the
world to make her own way because
they were unable to keep her This
is only part of the story she told
(which was incorrect, since she aft
erwards admitted that she left home
of her own accord. Miss Brown ad-
vised the little girl to retVrn to her
home. She explained to her the fact
the new Child Labor Law would not
allow her to work, that she could
not find work at her age which would
enable her to live any place away
from, her own home and her own
people; and that the best thing for
her to do was to return to her par
ents. The girl seemed little unwill-
/ ing at first to return to her home,
but finally decided that it was for the
best to all concerned. She stayed
with Miss Brown and Miss Atchison
all day and was as nice, and as well
behaved girl as one would wish to
find. Indicating that she was from
good family, that the past life had
been with the best of associations
and that she had been brought up in
the best of homes. Miss Nordquist
on the way to the depot with Miss
Brown seemed most grateful for the
help and the care which she had re-
Ceived and her remark to Miss
Brown was "Oh, how can ever thank
| you" Just the story of another life
returned to it's own sphere before it
was one second too late and the story
of little girl who had the wrong idea
about her home, and who never has
broader view of the world, and who
will be content to remain with her
parents henCeforth.
