URER TO WAPELLo.


Wapello county's portion of the re-
fund of the automobile tax which was
recently divided up by the state treas
urer according to the number OF civil
townships in the state, was received
yesterday afternoon by County Treas
urer Henry Glenn in a check from
State Treasurer w. w. Morrow for
sSO5.9S. This sum will be spent for
permanent road work In the county.
It is not to be divided among the town
ship trustees for disbursing as some
supposed, but will be spent at the dis
erection of the board Of supervisors
and must be for a permanent work
such as concrete bridges, culverts, etc..
and in the discretion OF the
board may be used for drag
ging roads. For general road work,
such as repairing highways, bridges,
etc, that cannot be termed permanent
work, the fund cannot be spent, say
the county officials. A new and separ-
ate fund must be opened by the audi
tor for this money.

MEN WILL MAKE CANVASS OF
COUNTY TO INDUCE PEOPLE
70 COME 70 oTrUMWA.

In view Of the fact that thousands
Of Ottumwans were in Abba at the
Labor day exercises last year and
helped to make 1t the success it was.
the business men and the labor unions
of Abba are boosting the Ottumwa
celebration endeavoring to induce
such large number of people to at
tend that the people OF this city may
be made to realize the progressiveness
OF Abba. The mining districts
throughout the country will be can
vassed by the labor unions that In
terest and enthusiasm might be arous-
ed The Abba Republican tells of the
preparations Of the Albians as follows:
lat the regular meeting Of the Abba
Business Mems association in the city
hall last Friday evening motion was
adopted that the members OF the Al
bia association attend the Labor day
celebration In Ottumwa In a body.
There was the feeling that Abba
should 90 to. Ottumwa in q body for
the reason that Ottumwa made good
turn out when the meeting was held
in Abba last year. Badges will be
supplied and every business man In
Abba will be requested not only to
20 to Ottumwa, but form In line and
show the city down by the river the
sort of people we have In this city.
Another meeting Of the association
will be held before Labor day and
further arrangements will be made.
The Clerks union has charge of the
union people who will go from Abba.
An active canvass will be made at the
mines In the county and every effort
will be made to get every person In
the county to attend the Ottumwa do
ings. Down at that end of the line
they have prepared for large crowd.
John Mitchell has written that he
surely will be present and address
the crowd. There will be other speak
ers and contests of various sorts will
be given. The action Of the Abba
business men in passing such reso-
tuition shows they stand firmly In IA
vor Of labor and the good that the
unions have done. All aboard for Of

FARMERS LOSE
MUCH ON EGGS
coMMIssioNERTELLs THEM HOW
TO HANDLE HEN FRUIT
NEVER WASH THEM.

Burlington, Aug. IL. farmers lose i
lot of money every years because they
do not know how to properly take care
of eggs produced on their farms. The
state of Iowa suffers loss OF 81
o00,0 0v annually by reason Of improper
care and handling OF eggs, according
to w. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner. The loss is especially
heavy during the hot months OF the
summer. Much Of this loss could be
averted, he says, If the farmers would
observe some established rules as to
the care Of eggs. K
In circular which the dairy and
food department will distribute board
cast over the state, the commissioner
makes the following suggestions:
Provide plenty Of clean, dry nests.
Eggs should be gathered daily In cool
weather and twice day In hot or
rainy weather
Use dirty and small eggs at home.
Do not wash eggs. Keep your eggs in
cool. dry place, free from doors. II
kept in the cellar do not set egg case
on damp floor. Keep eggs cool or
out OF the sun when taking them to
town. Every farmer should have an
egg Gambler and candle all question
able eggs.
A conservative estimate made by
this department shows that the an
nual loss on eggs to the farmers and
merchants of Iowa Is over $4,000 900,
caused by improper care and hand
ling. Is It not worth your while to
consider this matter?
