Local Comment

Can it be that the financial string
ency has struck the matrimonial mar
ket? Usually weddings are one Of the
big features Of Thanksgiving day news,
but this year there was a decided
slump. d
How many people In Marshalltown
had better Thanksgiving dinner than
that served to the members of the
soldiers home? Not many, regardless
of circumstances, could have provided
better meal. The soldiers home
member who complains about what he
has to eat doesn't deserve to be en-
titled to the comforts afforded by the
great state of Iowa in its home for
veterans. (,
1t requires an absence from the city,
altho not necessarily for a long length
Of time, to realize the many changes
and improvements that take place in
ones home town. Robert H. Whitaker
former Marshalltown boy, arrived
home this week after stay OF ten
years in foreign lands 1t is not
strange that he remarks upon the i'm
provements, made during that time,
and the changes that have taken place.
They are impressed upon him most
forcibly, and he could convince the
most skeptical that Marshalltown has
not been standing still.

THE GAMBLE CONCERT.
Bssso and Company of Artists Appear
in DeIiohtful Recital.

III 1SiIGHCTut ncCICdl.
Ernest Gamble and company APP
;peared before a large audience at the
Methodist church Friday evening in a
most delightful concert. given as one
of the numbers on the Y. NJ. G. A.
entertainment course. Mr.. Gamble,
basso, was assisted by Miss Verna
Page, violiniste, and Mr.. Sam Lamber-
son, pianist.
Mr.. Gamble has appeared in this city
on one other occasion, and many in his
audience knew what to expect in his
voice. Mr.. Gamble has a most pleasing
voice of an exceptional range, and his
tones were clear and perfect. One of
his best numbers was the song of the
armourer from robin Hood" De-
Koven's masterpiece. Another very
pretty thing was "Good Bye Sweet
Day." given as an encore, with violin
and piano accompaniment.
Miss Pages violin numbers were we'll
received, but her selections were for
the most part too technical to prove
real treat to popular audience. This
fact was clearly shown in the applause
given an encore. "Annie Laurie" which
the audience could fully appreciate.
Mr.. Lamberson's work as accompan-
list, and his different solo numbers
were very artistic.

Tn. ooio, Eater.

Most of us.r said man who eats plenty of onions, "eat too much meat and grease and butter and bread and not enough vegetables. and the conse- quence Is our systems get clogged up with grease and starch. our flyers get out of order and we grumbie at our wives, and scold our children. and fuss when the baby cries, and quarrel with the street car conductors. and get into rows at tie office and lose our jobs, not because we are naturally suliSy or quarrelscme. but because we are bil- Ious. Why are we bilious? Because we don't eat onions. You never saw 6 dyspcptio man eating onions.

cAnANEA.

The announcement of the closing of the work of the Greene-Cananea com pany at cananea viii cause surprise and regret throughout Arizona Sur prise because of the knowledge or gem eral belief that the great copper mines at cananea are in better physical condition for yielding ore and bullion at lower cost than ever before and regret because of the many former Arfzonans who are now in Cananea and who will be thrown out of en- ployment.
 The causes which have brought the shutdown at Cananea have not been given to the public. but the inability to sell the product of the camp at profit is, of course, the principal one. The Greene-Cananea is controlled by men who own other copper proper ties which can produce copper at a much lower price than has ever been possible at cananea, though the cost there is reported to have been mater ialIy reduced recently.
 Dispoaing of force of five thous- and men, mostly Mexicans. employed at Cananea up to two months ago has been serious problem in the minds of the management. but everything pos sible has been done for the protection of the men deprived of employment
 How long the Greene-Cananea works are to remain closed can only be a matter of conjecture and must depend on future developments in the copper market. but even with the works closed few win doubt that the camp will see greater activity and prosperity in the future than it has ever had fin the past

It shows bad up bringing to be in melancholy at table or to speak of disagrecaDle things or to engage h Inappropriate discus sions on matters of religious picts Foremost of all, one must always be in good humor and talk of pleasant things, as did the prophet himself
 You must always help yourself from the side of the dish nearest to you ard never try to find out the best bits, which ought to be left for other guests. If one of the invited has not much ap- petite, you must ask him mp to three times with some kind chosen words to partake of the meals. \ longer insist ence would cause ennui and would be most inappropriate. You must never stop eating before others, because ill doing 60 you will embarrass them and cause them to finish quickly in imitat- ing you.
 Never eat gluttonously, but also nev. CT attempt to conceal your good appe- tite. Always eat little by little. Exag- gerated compliments are always mis- placed The hosts duty is to make his guests feel as comfortable as possible, encouraging the timid and shy. It is contrary to good taste to address and to fix the attention of.a guest when he is eating. Even if the host is not ac- customed to eat much he must always try not to finish before others. Should any dish be forbidden to him by his medical attendant he certainly must not partake of it. but must at the same time excuse himself before his guests.

A GOOD LAWN.
The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
 and Sow inc Seed.

The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
 and Sow the Seed.
 A good lawn may be made either by iaying sod or growing seed. If turf IS used. the lawn is sometimes ready for use in less time than when seed is used, but, practically the difference is very slight. Fewer lawns are made from turf every year The turf or soil Is nearly always obtained from near by field. It aboundl in coarse grasses and pernicious weeds. The former may be got rid of after considerable trouble, but the latter rarely ever. Sod laid lawns are nearly always uneven seamy and varied in color and texture Their cost, too, is much in excess of seeding the lawn down.
 A lawn produced from mixture of good, new, redeemed seeds of the finer grasses and clovers is superior in quai ity and texture to the best sod obtain able. To obtain the best results from sowing, the ground should be carefully dug over-not too deep, six to eight inches will be enough-and nicely lev eled off; then SOW on broadcast good fertilizer, 600 pounds to the acre, or about ten pounds to every 15 by 15 square feet Rake this in and roll it or fatten it with the back of a spade; then SOW seventy pounds of some good lawn seed to the acre, or one pound to every 15 by 15 feet. Sow half this quantity walking one way and half walking at right angles to it, so as tn get even distribution. Do not SOW iiI windy weather, and be sure to rake the seed in, and after sowing roll il well or beat 1t flat, with the spade.
 Those seeds that are deeply buried will not gcrminate, and those that are exposed will be scorched by the sun. blown or washed away or taken by the birds. Whenever necessary to SOW in summer it Is better to mix with rye or oats to protect the tender shoots from the hot sun.--Suburban Life.
