borers Scarce.
Everybody works in Marshaltown-
even father, If he is able bodied and
industriously disposed. Just now
for help, for which they are willing to
give just equivalent in good coin OF
the realm. At no time in the history
of Marshalltown has there been so
great a shortage in the labor mar
ket, and as a result progress is much
slower than desired on the extensive
improvements being made and build
ings being erected.
u While there Is shortage in the
supply of skilled labor of various
kinds and every competent mechanic
physically able to work is employed if
he desires to be, the greatest scarcity
is of common laborers. Contractor C.
f. Reimer. who is erecting the new
buildings at the Soldiers Home, has
been advertising for men for days, and
so far has not been able to procure all
the help he needs, notwithstanding
that the pay is good from the stand
,point of employers.
Contractors Nissen & Peterson, who
are building the high school auditor
ium and manual training department,
are seeking laborers and have lost sew
eral men because of opportunities to
secure higher wages elsewhere. Offers
of as high as 81 per days for common
laborers have been made in this city,
and the Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany have secured sufficient force to
prosecute the work of repairing the
Third avenue paving at that price. The
Artificial Ice and Refrigerating Com
pany is one of the business institutions
that is advertising for able bodied men
to drive teams and handle their pro-
ducts.
The Britain Packing Company has
been short handed all summer, and
men desired. Manager Click says they
are short of both expert and common
laborers.
The Iowa Central car shops are max
ing an effort to secure more men and
could use half dozen laborers at ONCE.
The storekeeper's department of the
Central is also seeking men and have
places for three.
The Lennox Furnace Company has
been able to procure all the common
labor required, and all the skilled la
Dor needed with the exception Of tin
ners and men competent to fill posi-
tons in the erection department.
1t isSthe same in the entire manu-
featuring district of the city, with few
exceptions. The loafers have an OPP
portunity to get busy.

FEW DEFECTS FOUND.
City Council Completes Inspection q
Asphalted Streets.

City Council Completes Inspection OF
Asphalted Streets.
The city council, which spent two
days this week in going over the vari-
Gus streets on which asphalt paving
has been laid by the Barber company,
is gratif1ed with the results of the in
vestigations. Very few defects were
found, and these of minor nature. On
West Church street one depression
was found where the excavation made
by plumber had been filled improper
ly, permitting the paving to settle.
This was not attributed to any faulty
construction. One other place on this
street was found where a pocket had
been formed, and on North Second ay-
enue two small patches Of the asphalt
seemed to be soft.
When Mayor Ingledue called the at
tention Of the Barber company's rep
resentatives, they said they would
make the repairs without the formality
of having legal notices served on them,
and furthermore, the company pro-
posed to make a careful inspection of
all the paving and make repairs where
ever defects are found.

NEARLY ALL HAVE SIGNED.
About $50 Property Owners Aecep.
Extension of Paving Guarantee.


The controversy between the Barber
company and the property owners of
the city is in fair way to be finally
adjusted soon, with the exception Of the
interests of few who have appealed
to the courts from the assessment.
More than $50 of the property owners,
including some of those who had Joined
in the movement to resist the collection
of any assessment, have signed the
waivers and agreement drawn up by
Mayor Ingledue and his committee of
interested, citizens. These contracts
have now been turned over to the
paving company. The signers include
practically all those who have paving
to pay for, with the exception Of the
appealers mentioned, and when the
final agreement is signed property
owners will have a twelveyear guar
antee on their paving and some OF
them will have been saved the costs of
expensive litigation. Mayor Ingledue
is naturally very much gratified with
the results of his efforts in behalf of
the property owners.

also had good oats and wheat yield.
Good lands sells for $3.50 an acre which
twenty years ago ranged from IS TO

go to 5000 an acre because the yield

can be still further increased. Iowa
