ALL ORDERS Will.
ENTER ARMY CAMP !,
FOLLOWING VIGOROUS DEMAND
FROM PROMINENT MEN IN VA
RloUS ORGANIZATIONS.

Washington, Oct 30.-As the result
of vigorous demand from prominent
men in various secret orders the War
department will allow building to be
constructed in each army camps and
cantonmentS to be used by Masons
and other orders in promoting the
welfare of the troops.
The policy as just announced will be
to permit one building to be built ac-
cording to- Government specifications
in each camp and cantonment and to
be used by the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Maccabees and other orders under a
joint arrangement.
The matter is one which has been
mooted for months. When the Scot
fish Rite Masons held their recent CON
vention here they prepared a strong
protest to Secretary Baker and Presi-
dent Wilson because of the policy
which had been laid down. Under this
policy, buildings were allowed at each
camp and cantonment for the Y. NJ.
c. A, the Knights of Columbus and the
Young Mems Hebrew Association, but
for no other like organizations. The
Masons and other secret orders insis-
ted they should be allowed buildings.
The President was personally urged to
permit this. Senator Bankhead, who
is a leading Mason, took the question
up with the White House personally.
Leading officials OF different secret
orders are here today taking up de-
tails with the War department. 1t is
expected that in each camp arrange
ments will be made so that each or
der entering into the arrangement cap
use the building at certain hours.

They are of pure silk and rather too

But they will make gown thing Of

They have charming and artistics

these slip on sweaters have sleeves

A very good looking model of heavy
white wool is purled in large ribs the

and the wide rib makes the sweater

POTTERY PRODUCTS.

The pottery industry showed large
gain in 1916 compared with 1915, the
output of the potteries of the United
States being valued at $4S,217,242 an
increase of $10,S91, 654, or nearly 80
ped cent, according to report soon
to be issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey, Department of the In
terror. This value Is the largest yet
recorded, being $10.224,867 greater
than that of 1918, the preceding year
Of greatest value.
In 1916 every variety of pottery as
classified by the Geological Survey in

showed a small decrease in 1915, raj.

1916-s1,14S. or nearly so per cent.
The value of white ware, including
china, which comprises the general
household wares and constitutes near
ly so per cent of all pottery products
was 21,669,762 in 1916, an increase
of $4,015,364 over 1915. If to this sum
is added the value of sanitary ware
and porcelain electrical supplies-high
grade products-the total value in
1913 was s3s,s15,599, or $9,496, 1856
more than in 1915.
For the first time separate figures
showing the value of chemical pottery
were collected. This ware was report

valued at $1,054,061. Ohio was the
leading state, reporting ware valued
at $4s6,171.

MANY IDLE YOUNG MEN.

There are more than 100000 jobless
Americans of military age, enough
for the first increment of the new ma
tional army, according to a compila-
ton of statistics made public by the
census bureau.
The tabulation reveals that there
are 10,079.5 men between the ages
of q and 80 years and, therefore, sub
ject to military duty.
OF the total eligible for military
duty there are 5,729, 400 who are sin
gle men and 4,554,900 who are mar
ried, 10000 are divorced or widow
ers, and 10000 who have not been re-
ported either married or single. The
percentage is 53.3 of single men and
of married 45.1.
On occupations. exclusive Of 500,500
not gainfully occupied estimated at 5

are made:

ed and saying that he was going to
send for these goods.
"The banker said, L will loan you
the money on one condition, viz, that
you go TO our local merchants first
with this list and see if they cannot
fill this at prices named with goods
perfectly satisfactory to you, and that
you buy at home if this can be done"
"The farmer willingly consented and
the note was drawn and the money
passed, then the two men went to-
gether to the three leading merchants
in the lines named and the banker
spoke of the object of their visit, then
left the farmer to make his own in
vestigation. The merchants took
his price list and readily duplicated
it in every particular. Before they
were half through, the purchaser de-
clared he had been mistaken about
| the supposed advantages of out OF
town trading and that he would take
the home goods and pay out home
cash. ..
THE moral of this story is that this
man has ever since been believer
in home trade. 1t would be fine il
we could spend the money in ColfaS

We do not mean to say that farmers
are the only ones who do it, for that
would not be true. We looked over
list of bank drafts for certain day
recently and of these, seven were sent
to mail order houses and not half OF
them were sent by farmers.
ION the other hand, merchants
should be as loyal to each other anc

the people be and they should be as
careful to advertise their goods as
are the mail order houses. Nothing

CUT OUT THE FiRE-TRAPs.

The Conservation Association of
Iowa was formed at meeting held
in Des Moines June 26, attended by
Governor Harding, Insurance Com
missioner English, Fire Marshal Roe,
and representatives of the State
Council of Defense and the leading
commercial organizations. Its pur-
pose is to protect the food supplies
of the state against the hazards OF
fire and explosion, which have been
greatly increased by war conditions,
in harmony with the proclamation of
President Wilson and the recon-
mendations of the Council of Nation.
al Defense.
President Wilson, in his recent ap-
peal to the public, said: This is the
time for America to correct her un'
pardonable fault of wastefulness and
extravagance." The preventable
fire waste of the country is one of its
most objectionable faults" Two
hundred million dollars have been
going up in smoke each year, and
most of this loss could easily have
been prevented by the exercise Of
reasonable precautions. Much o.
the property destroyed was grain
foodstuffs and supplies of which the
country and it's allies are now in seri
GUS need. The citizen who cannot
go to the front can show his patriot
ism by doing everything possible tc
reduce the fire waste, and thus con
serve the national resources.
And right here in Oskaloosa more
attention should be paid to fire ordi
nances and the ordinances should be
made stricter, especially in the bust
ness sections of the city. Our new
pumper cannot save fire traps, oil
prevent CONGREGATIONS if fire traps
are permitted to exist under and
alongside good property. Let us
clean up and build for safe and
greater future.

A MAIN LINE POSSIBILITY.

Phoenix, the capital city OF Arizona,
and one of the most historic places
in the country, is like Oskaloosa in
one respect at least,-it has no trunk
line railway. 1t is hitched up to main
lines by several excellent branches,
but the big trans-continental trains
miss it by Is to 40 miles. For sever
al years the Arizona Gazette, the
strongest paper published in the
state, has carried a big headline
across its front page. reading-"Phoe-
nix must and will have main, line
railroad And for all these years the
chamber of commerce and other or
CARNATIONS of Phoenix have been
working to that end, and recent dis
patches indicate that some of the big
Southern Pacific trains will be detour-
ed through Phoenix.
Oskaloosa might well adapt the
slogan, "Oskaloosa must and will have
main line railroads" In time past the
Commercial club and other organiza-
tons have taken these questions up,
but when they were politely informed
by the powers that be that there was
nothing doing, they dropped the prop
ositions. But the way to get any
thing is to be persistent as Phoenix
has been, and there is no reason why
Oskaloosa should not have at least
one through train each way every
day over the Rock Island from Chica
go to Denver, and one each day each
waw over the same road from Chicago
| to Kansas City. Then also there is
no reason why Oskaloosa should not
have the Northwestern built into this
city from Atwood before that road is
completed and running trains into
Kansas City.
We often hear the remark that Os'
kaloosa will never amount to much
because we have no main line rail
way. Here Is a chance to get the
equivalent of three. Will we get
busy,-or will we let the Rock Island
take off the Fire Fly" as we did the
Sunday train to Des Moines, without
protest?
