Mr.. George f. Shear. of Nashua
Iowa. writing to the Times Republican
SAYS: Il have taken the daily for
about fifteen years and hardly know
how to do without It, 1t is one of the
hest. not TO say the best, of Iowa
dailies: a good. clean paper that am
not afraid 10 put in my family before
my children" The T.-R. may justifi-
ably accept the compliment as de-
lars annually to remain a good clean
paper" which Its subscribers may
fearlessly take into their homes and
place in the hands of their children.
The T.-R. pays the price OF cleanliness
and accepts commentator like that
of Mr.. Shear as a full return.
City attorneys need have their wits
about them at Fort Dodge. The city
council resolved at one time on three
separate jobs OF asphalt pavement ag-
gregating 100000. After contracts for
two of these jobs had been let and be-
fore the third was let the council,
adopted an ordinance providing that
the cost of paving at intersections shall
be borne by the abutters. 1t attempt
ed to levy assessments agains. abut-
tiers on the third job to pay for paving
the intersections. They have entered
injunction suits based on the circum-
stance that the ordinance authorizing
the city to tax abutters with the cost
of paving intersections was not in ex-
istence when the improvement was
ordered and is applicable only to inn
provements ordered after It's adoption.
1t Is surprising what large crop of
tomatoes is raised and canned in this
country. The tomato is almost reg
ular part OF the average housewives
daily bill OF fare, as any other vege-
summer large amount of tomatoes is
consumed in a raw state. but In winter
when vegetables are scarce, the de-
mand for the canned article is even
greater. For the year 1908, the pack
of tomatoes in the United States totals !
10,15O,O00 cases. with two dozen cans in
case. This is the banner year, and |
exceeds last year by 100000 cases. The |
little state of Maryland heads the list
with i,6s1.000 cases, and Indiana comes !
second with $4,000 The middle wes-
tern states make Il small showing with
those in the east.
