Ed wards, grand commander of the Knights Templar, has issued a circular letter which contains the beautiful sen timent of the Knights Templar organi zation relative to the Christmas time, that demonstrates an approving thoughtfulness not only for the mem bers but for others as well. The com mittee on Christmas observance ap pointed at the grand encampment of Knights Templar of trfe United States of America, formed the sentiment that is being sent out as follows: "To our most eminent grand master, William Bromwell Melish: May his administration be fortunate and may our brotherhood fully realize our mis sion: To, feed the. hungry, clothe the naked and bind up the wounds of the afflicted in the name of our Lord and Master, Immanuel, whose, birth we celebrate." The following 1b the response of the grand, master: "The sentiment prop'osed .is uncon sciously in line with what has been in my mind for weeks. While it is true, that, with most of us the spirit of Christmas broods and sings of happy, hopeful, helpful things, all for you and me it is also true there are thousands who are needy and whose necessities appeal to us, and some of these are undoubtedly- those left near and dear to our departed fraters. "I call upon each grand commander to ask each commandery in his juris diction to make notable the 1910 cele bration of the birth of Him who is our great examplar by the giving, as a commandery, or by voluntary contri butions collected by each commandery of its individual knights, of a. special offering of thankfulness and love, in the spirit of the master, to the desti tute widows and helpless orphans of departed fraters, or Masonic homes, children's homes or to any charitable organization that reaches the helpless poor at Christmas time. "If my beloved fraters will but do this, I will apreciate their compli ance with the spirit of the toast pro posed to me. as grand master much more than any personal compliment shown me by letter, message, or tele gram. "Our thoughts will go out at the hap py Christmas time to each Templar in the land, wishing him joy in all his deeds and days, wishing him time for the task, wisdom for the work, peace for the pathway, friends for the lire side and love to the last." The grand commander of Iowa has expressed the desire that each com manded of the jurisdiction convene his commandery in its asylum on Monday, December 26, at 11 o'clock, and parti cipate in this sentiment expressed and also extend to all Sir Knights sojourn ing in the jurisdiction a knightly and courteous invitation to participate in same. FT. DOOGE GETS OATMEAL MILL GREAT WE8TERN CEREAL COM PANY DISCONTINUES MU8CA*. TINE PLANT,-. Muscatine, Nov. 15.—The Muscatine branch of the Great Western Cereal company is to be abandoned for the present, according to information re ceived by the local manager J. R. Reuling, from the head offices at Chi cago, 111. That the company really Intends to abandon the Muscatine institution is verified by the action of the head office in asking for the resignation of Mr. Reuling. The death knell of,the local factory was sounded when it was decided to establish the corn meal department at the Fort Dodge plant rather than at Muscatine. Officials of the company visited Muscatine some time ago and when here practically stated that the new department would be established in Muscatine, but later advices con tained the intelligence that Fort Dodge would get the plum. The company has contended that it is not possible to de velop the business fast enough to keep all mills running and hence the drastic action just taken in regard to the Mus catine plant. The abandonment of the oat meal mill will mean the passing of one of Muscatine's oldest present day industrial institutions. For almost a third of a century the plant has been in operation and J. R. Reuling has been with the company for a quarter of a century and for many years it was con sidered one of the really big factories of the town. The plant was formerly controlled by the Muscatine Oat Meal company but in 1901 the local company merged with many others and formed the Great Western Cereal company, and since that time the local plant has not been operated regularly. The Muscatine plant is favorably situated geographically and the ship ping facilities are good, and with the good machinery still in place it is pos sible that at some future date the plant will again resume operations, but that Is very uncertain at present, and not considered likely.

Funeral arrangements have not as yet been made. I **RFIELD« With Judge M. A. Roberts presiding the November term of the district court convened here Monday after noon. The grand jury reported this morning and immediately went to work, but their session is not expected to result in any sensational indict ments. The term will last only three -tfreeks and few important cases will he tried. The term will probably be busy, however, because of the amount of business left over from the September term. Judge Roberts devoted yesterday and today largely to the assignment of cases. The court sentenced W. G. Robison, former manager of the Lock ridge Lumber company, a branch of the United Lumber company, to fix a term not to exceed five years for em bezzlement. Robison was arraigned Monday afternoon and entered a plea of guilty. He stated that he did not desire an attorney and desired that sentence be passed at once. Both J. P. Starr, attorney for the lumber com pany, and County Attorney Huglln asked the court for leniency because of the youth of the defendant and lie cause his wife and children are de pendent upon him. It is probable that a parole can be secured for Robison. V#J Miss Mas E. Halferty of Birming ham and Fay W.
