[Traer star-Clipper.l

In almost 100 per cent OF cases. the
men who live in Toledo and earn their
living by the sweat Of their brow
spend the money they earn with the
Toledo merchants. There are other
citizens who can not boast OF such a
Chronicle.
If the writer of the above had ever
run a bank Of postoffice, he would
know better. We will venture the as
sertion that there is not week day
in the year when drafts and money

their goods get no better bargains than
they could get at home. quality and
quantity considered, after they figure
the freight and other expenses and
their time, but they think they do and
the Lord could not change their opin-
ions. Toledo people are no more loyal
to their town that Traer people or any
other people. Human nature is mighty
selfish. 1t cares little for the other

Good roads discussion Is one OF the
ways to get good roads. discussion and

The point Mr.. Ransom seems anxious
to press is that no road will remain
good without care. supervision. and the
labor of maintenance. Perhaps others
who have had experience with graveled
roads will come forward with their ex-
perience and suggestion. Mayhap the
trustees of SCOTT township, Floyd coun-

to the road particularly in question.
If so. the mes-Republican will be

Within week or two Fairfield will
be using electric current generated by
water power in Skunk river and carried
over the first long distance transmits
sion line i'll the southeastern portion
of the state. This current Is sold to
the Fairfield Gas and Electric Com
pany at cents ner kilowatt and has
been offered to Fairfield city at the
same price. a ate which is lower we
believe than that OF the Mississippi
River Water Power Company at keo-
kuk. 1t is quite probable that it means
a very low "ate for power purposes.
When the Skunk river line is completed
Fairfield will nave three plants to draw
upon-that of the local company. the
municipality and the Iowa Power Com
pany. and it seems scarcely possible
that service should ever be interrupted.
If the people of Fairfield will seize the
opportunity we can have 10000 popula-
ton within he reXt ten years.
