THE FARM RESTAURANT.

The girl who had no home ties or
duties to hold her on the farm can turn
waitress at the nearest summer-hotel,
or do fine laundry for summer girls

than to establish farmhouse restau.
rant, serving lunches on tables under
the trees. An old-fashioned farm near
q New England city has been turned
into popular road-house for motor
lists. This girl should serve every.
thing in the daintiest fashion. and
specialize, perhaps on fried chicken
with tart jelly, or waflles, or fish
that can be caught in the nearest pond,
Slatternly service and carelessly pre-
pared food will not draw motoring
trade, but something out of the ordi-
nary will bring crowds to her little
restaurant, for one motorist is keen to
tell another of newly found place.

On the Rail


Another Iowa engineer In the
service of the Illinois Central has
taken place in the limelight as an
inventor namely, Arthur Oleson of
Waterloo. Some time ago Engineer
George Meyers secured patents on an
improved form of journal box which
gives promise of being adopted by
some of the prominent railroads.
Now Oleson comes to the front with
a new coat and trouser hanger
which Is said to be a great improve
ment over all former contriv-
ances to enable man TO keep himself
the mirror Of fashion and the mould
Of form. The hanger is build of wood
and metal. II has the advantage of
being adjustable, so that it can be
shaped to Identical similarity with the
form Of the particular individual
whose person the coat adorns when
on duty. Mr.. Oleson has applied at
Washington for patent on his in
vention. He has made several of
the hangers and If they seem to
please the fastidious public he will
probably start small factory.

The railroad companies are finding
the tie proposition one of the most
difficult they have to meet. The
scarcity of oak and cedar timbers,
suitable for ties, is gradually raising
the price Of them until now every tie
they put in costs about 81. Conse-
quently they are commencing to
economic. When a spike is drawn
to reset the rail the hole Is plugged
up with an oaken plug, and similar
details are looked after. The
Northwestern system owns over TO-.
600 miles of track and 1t Is estimated
that there are about 5000 ties to
every mile of trackage, the total num-
Der of ties being about 100000. The
average life of a tie Is eight years,
which means that every year the com
pany is to the expense Of about &c.
100000 to replace the ties. Natural
ly, since no satisfactory substitute
has been found for the wooden ties,
and since the timber is becoming
more scarce every year, the com
panies are beginning to be as saving
as possible in this detail.

AN ASSESSORS TRUST.
Popular Opinion in johnson Count,
Rather Favors Turning Them Down.

Special to Republican.
Iowa City, Jan. S.-Believing that
the state statute does not provide suf-
ficient remuneration for their work, the
thirty assessors in Johnson county
have proposed to the board of super
visors that one-fourth shall be added
to all of the time which they put in.
The state provides that they shall be
paid at the rate of two dollars per day.
Their proposition. made to the board is
that for every days time they put in,
they shall be paid for one and one
fourth days, in order to circumvent the
provisions of the law.
Popular opinion rather favors turn
ing down the Assessors Trust as it
is now called and the discharge of all
those who have been appointed.

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Jan. S.-Thomas Brennan
who was president of the Iowa City
Underwriters Association prior to its
disbanding recently, as a result of the
enforcement of the anti-compact law
recently passed by the legislature of
the state, has some very timely views
on the effect of the so-called Blanch-
ard bill, on the cost of insurance.
"The law" he declared, when COM
pared with that which regulates life
agents are denied the right to make
rebates or depart from the stated
schedules. Yet in fire insurance the
agents are denied the right of getting
together in order to attain anything
like uniformity In the prices they
charge of a given risk. Any law that
increases the expense of administering
a fire insurance company will Increase
the cost of insurance to the man who
buys it, Suppose that there are one
hundred companies operating in the
city Under the old system one man
came here, made his Investigations of
the various risks and then fixed rate
which was adhered to by all.
THE Blanchard law requires that
each company should make it's investi-
CATION thereby multiplying the ex-
pense by the number of companies.
The same rule is carried out in the
Adjustment of losses. The new law re-
luires an adjuster for each company. /
Under the old system one man did the
work for all the companies concerned

was verbal. but they signed
the contracts. They did not hear any
thing more of the insurance until the
notes began to turn up again this
