Seven years ago on Jan. 20, 1909,
Iowa experienced a heavy sleet storm
with high wind. The poles and wires
OF the Marshall Telephone Company
were broken down all over town and
telephone service was demoraliaed for
a month. II On Jan. 20, 1918, we had ar
identical storm and the next morning
there were only half a dozen lines
DOWN, The change was due TO the
enormous amount of UNDERGROUND com
duit and cable construction. Few'of the
telephone subscribers realize that ser-
vice is given under ground from Linn
crock bridge m Main street to SUM
nit and Eighteenth streets and from
South and Center streets &c III the Ten I.
river bridge on Center street Within
these limits lines are under ground In
all directions and few telephones are
more than two or three blocks away
from the under ground terminal. Ad-

CHILD LABOR BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
MEASURE ALREADY HAS PASSED IN AouSE-sPEEDY ACTION
 AT WILSON'S ASSISTANCE

Washington = The Senate passed tho bill to prevent interstate com merce Tn products of child labor by vote of 52 10 12 The measure which already had passed the House, was brought to vote in the Senate upon the insistence of President Wil- son after the Democratic Senate eau GUS had decided to defer its consid- eration until next December.
 Opposition to the measure had come chiefly from Southern cotton mill owners, and the group of South ern Democrats who voted against t had fought 1t ih caucus and main tained their opposition during the Senate debate on the ground that the regulation proposed is unconstitu= tional and would interfere with the rights of the states. Eleven Demo- crats from the South, Senators Swan son and Martin of Virginia. Under wood of Alabama, Vardaman of Mis- sissippi, James and Beckman of Ken lucky, Gulberson and Shephard of Texas, Ransdell of Louisiana, Robin son of Arkansas and Shields of Ten nessee, voted for it.
 Senators Broussard of Louisiana, Clarke of Arkansas, Gore and Owen of Oklahoma and Lea of Tennessee. were absent and did not vote
 In order to expedlJe consideration of the measure in conference, Senate conferees were appointed immediate ly after the final vote. The only amendment adopted would extend the bills provisions to bar all products of establishments employing children from interstate commerce. The House measure was directed only against those on which child labor actually had been employed.

Arkansas Confederate pensioners will fare better this year than in any year in the past decade, if not better than in any year since the first pen sion tax was levied, according to members of the State Pension Board and other state officials.
