PAINTERS AND DECORATORS
GO TO SCHOOL IN IOWA

In several cities in Iowa painters
and decorators are going to school
The Popular Mechanics Magazine tells
of this educational innovation of
Iowa State College. at Ames, Iowa,
which in the effort to give practical
aid to men of the painting trade, now
employs experts who offer two
courses in this line of work. One is
conducted al the college and lasts
four weeks The other is two
weeks course and is given in several
cities during the slack season, so that
men can take advantage of 1t with a
minimum of inconvenience. The size
of the classes is limited for the sake
of efficiency, and while half of the
men spend the morning doing wall
work, the other half do graining, for
example, and in the afternoon the two
groups change about.

 Before Meeting Saturday

The meeting was held fr Inc purnosc of securing information from local men as to the action of the Democratic County Gen. tral Committee which meets at Fay eteville Saturday.
 Reports have gained credence that the Committe would endeaver to se- lect the three candidates from Wash ineton county fer delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and the members from Sprinedale wanted ad- vice from their constituents.
 It seemed to be the unanimous op- inion of the meeting that primary election, to be held at later date would be the proper method of select ing candidates, and motion that the members from Springdale be instruc- ted to vote for primary was carried
 
 The name of Willard Berry, of this place, was placed before the meeting as a probable candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention. and the four members from Sprinedale were instructed to place the name of Willard Berry before the meeting of the committee Saturday.
 The four members from Springdale will go uninstrueted as to the candi- dates from the Third Congressional district, and will use their better judgment in case such selection or endorsement Is placed before the Cen tral Committee
