Letter toSsPatrick Welsh
Morristown n z

Dear Sir: Two cans of paint look
alike; two paints look alike, when
opened; two jobsflook alike, so long as
they're new-unleSs one is scant.
They are,far from alike: one is paint
and the other trash. TIL ar
The gallon price is not far from
alike. They don't cost alike. One
takes 10 gallons to paint a house; the
other takes 20. The cost of one job is
$50; the other Sl00-it may be 800
the job that cost the least Is the good
one; wears twice as long as the other.
There are two ways of telling good
paint: by the name by the number of
gallons 1t takes tor job-least gallons,
best paint. By the name Devoe &
Reynolds by least gallons.

The Town Committee of Newton
offers the new chemical wagon, bought
a year ago, for sale, because it is too
heavy for use by volunteer depart
ment. Hackettstown has a similar
machine that cost a goodly sum of
money, too heavy for practical use,
and which sadly needs the service OF a
man who can pack valve.

Burlington, April Ito demon
strate, that a dinner for ten persons
can he served for 81, the members of
the Domestic science class, under the
direction of Miss Olive Mckay, are
giving a series of dinners to their
friends.
The class consists of twelve girls,
and two girls have a day to them
selves. On the day assigned, the two
girls must plan out a dinner for ten
persons, the cost OF the material to be
used not to exceed 81. The dinner
may be of as many courses as the
means will allow, but it must be good
substantial meal. TO the dinner the
girls invite their friends. Other mem
bers of the class serve, but the two
girls must supervise the cooking and
supply the material to be cooked. The
idea is a novel one, and gives the girls
an opportunity to demonstrate the
teachings of the school, how to select
food, what to choose, how to cook, the
proper way to serve and general house
keeping methods.

Cumn1inS supporters TO AGAIN become
Active in Black Hawk County.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Apri 15.-The Black Hawk
County ,Cummins club, which did
good service in former campaigns, is
to be reorganized this evening. At the
height of it's membership the club
numbered nearly 1000 voters in the
city alone in that memorial campaign.
Interest in Governor Cummins in this
county has not waned in the years
since 1906 and the club this year should
be even larger as it will certainly be
more enthusiastic.
Similar clubs to further the inter-
ests of the governor in his ambition to
represent the state of Iowa in the SEN
ate Of the United States have been
launched in other cities and counties
and everywhere such clubs have been
organized the enthusiasm has been ap-
preciably greater than in the guberna-
torial campaign. The governors
friends in Black Hawk county will not
take a rear position in manifestations
of loyalty to the cause and with the
reorganization of the club and the
election of officers the active, open
campaign in behalf of the senatorial
candidate to succeed the present SEN
Tor incumbent of the high office will
he in evidence.

100 OPERATORS OUI.
Retrenchment on Illinois Cen
trail Went into Effect at
Noon Today
BLOCK SYSTEM ABANDONED
Too Expensive to Operate Under the
Nine Hour Law-one Hundred Men
Affected Between Waterloo and Chi
caso-some Of the Towns Entirely
Without Wire Service.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, April 15.-The retrench-
ment order on the Illinois Central be-
came effective today, and as q result
100 operators on the division between
this city and Chicago are out of en-
ployment. The block system on this
portion of the road has been aban-
doned as too expensive to operate I'M
der the nine-hour law.
The block signal system was estab-
lished on the /. c.. little over two
years ago, and since that time the rail-
road has succeeded in getting it's trains
over the road in a reduced number Of
hours. The system is a very safe one,
it being so arranged by the working of
the block system that two trains can
not be on the same track between two
towns at the some time. II a train
leaves station, a train following cam
not leave the same station until the
train preceding it is reported clear at
the next station.
At each station at which the block
signal is in vogue, three operators are
required since the nine-hour law
went into effect, entailing an expense
at each town of $3.50 per month. The
company feels that it is too great an
expense to maintain the smaller sta
tons, without which the block signal
Is a failure.
Commencing this afternoon at /
o'clock the change which throws over
100 operators out of employment will
go into effect. A record of the sta
lions as made out according to the new
schedule by the officials of the road
shows that some of the stations will
be operated only a few hours during
the day when trains are due at these
points. One operator will be suffi
cient at these stations. A number of
others will be kept open day times.
and some will be open both day and
night.
The following stations between this
city and F,reeport will be entirely
closed, thus throwing the operators
out of employment: Law, Wise, Grant
and East Belt in this city. The sta
lions open day times are: Wadham
Nora, Raymond, Julien, Galena, Bow
den, Delaware, Masonvile, Doris, Far
ley and Epworth. Those that will be
open for few hours each day are:
Earlville. Eleroy, Apple River, Jesup
and Council Hill. The other stations
will be kept open day and night, and
three operators retained in the service
at each place. These towns are: Man.
chester, Winthrop, Dyersville. Inde-
pendence, ICY" Waterloo, car" Water
loo. Portage, East Cabin, Dubuque
Junction, South Junction, Center
Grove, Peosta and Scales Mound
The trainmen on the I. G. will all be
affected by the change in their work,
and no doubt the trains will not be
handled as speedily as heretofore.

Spec1aI TO lmeS-RepuDllcan.
Grand Junction. April 15.-The pres
ent temperature is starting all kinds
of vegetation. Farmers are mostly
done sowing oats. Preparation of the
ground for corn has already been be-
gun by many.
Notwithstanding the newspaper re-
ports of few weeks ago, that this
place had gone "standpat" and for AL
lison, one passing thru Main street
would say somebody counted their
chickens too soon; the Matching is
surely Cummins. Only two Allison
pictures are displayed, and in all the
other business houses the governors
portrait occupies the place of promi-
nsnce.
Thomas L. Kinsella sold his farm of
16O acres in Boone county yesterday.
Ira Brush, city marshal, went to
Newton yesterday.
Many of our citizens are busy plant
ing trees and making garden.
The electric light plant is disap-
pointing, and many are the complaints.
The school board, owing to absence
of part of the board, have not elected
teachers for the ensuing year.
The new mayor is looking after

IOWA DEMOCRATS SEEK SLATE.
Conference Tomorrow to Frame Up
Ticket for the State.


Ticket for the State.
Des Moines, April 15.-Iowa demo-
ocrats are manifesting unusual activity
in the matter Of the selection of a state
ticket. A conference of the state CEN
trail committee and other prominent
members Of the party will be held here
on Thursday. Among the matters to be
settled then probably will be the per-
sonnet of the state and senatorial tick
cts.
Several candidates are suggested for
governor. Fred White, who was the
democratic candidate against Governor
Shaw is being importuned to run. Tho
he has refused, many leading polite
ians believe he will reconsider and per-
nit the use of his name. c. A. Dixon
of Sioux City, H. b. Boies, son of I'm
Gle Horace Boies, of Waterloo, and
Jerry" Sullivan of Des Moines also
are among the possible candidates.
Another important matter to be set
tied at the conference has reference to
the United States senatorship. Thus
far the only candidate named is Claude
Porter of Centerville. At first it was
expected he would again run for gov
ernor. Afterwards an attempt was
made to induce him to be candidate
against pete" Hepburn for congress.
He declined to be considered for
either of these positions, and his
friends say he is going into the sena-
torial race. They say this honor is due
him for the fight he made against
Cummins in 1906. They claim there
will be better chance of a democrats
election as United States senator this
time than in years, and declare there
should be no opposition to Porter in
the party.
Others claim Judge Wade, of Iowa
City should be the senatorial candi-
date, and state that he would help the
democratic legislative ticket more
than any one who can be named for
the position.
1t is claimed by the democratic
leaders that a large vote will be cast
for a part of the ticket at the prima-
ries because of the opinion among
them that there is a possibility of sue
cess this year. So it is believed many
democrats will attempt to vote for
United States senator in the republi-
can primaries. This is another matter
to be discussed at the conference, and
means will be considered to maintain
as complete a party at the primaries
as possible.
