Truth is simple. requiring neither
study nor art. Reputation is not
made, though sometimes it may be
lost in a day. Nearly forty years
of business experience has proven
to John A. Marshall & Bro. that it
is healthful to tell the truth. Their
success in the shoe business is
due to their straightforwardness in
business and in strictly ciingins to
an honest opinion about the goods
they sell.

the skaters OF the city can have the

the scheme by which the children
may skate to their hearts content
without going to the river, the gen.
tlemen back of it have managed to
interest several other business men
who have assisted them in their
plans. 1t was at first thought that
the rink would be located on the Gill
bert lots on First street, but as ar
rangements could not be made for
that place. the gentlemen have pro-
cured a vacant lot on the corner Of
Funk and Walnut streets.

the flames had gained considerable
headway. A bucket brigade had
been formed by spectators while the
firemen were arranging their appar-
atus which helped wonderfully and
when the stream from the hose was
turned through holes which had
been cut in the roof the fire was
soon under control.
The loss by the flames and water
in the rear part Of the residence was
considerable while the smoke per-
meated every part of the house and
added to the damage. The loss on
the house. household goods, wearing
apparel. ETC., is estimated at $1,000
and is covered by insurance.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT
OF WEBSTER CITY
Delegation of Cedar Falls Citizens
Pleased With our Electric
Light Plant.

Cedar rails RECORD: A party OF
business men made trip to Web.
ster City last night as scheduled for
the purpose of making an investiga-
ton Of the new municipal lighting
plant in that city, and for the pur-
pose Of gathering data and informa-.
ton regarding the cost of the same
and the relative cost of the service
as compared with that furnished by
the Citizens Gas & Electric company
of Waterloo. The delegation was
met at the station by the entire city
council of Webster City, headed by
that municipalities live-wire mayor.
Every courtesy was shown the Wis
itors and every minute of time was
occupied in the inspection of the
various municipal plants owned by
the city.
The new fire station, handsome
building, is Just nearing completion.
The erection of this was made neces-
sary by the removal of the old mum
icipal light plant to give way for
the erection of new high school
building The Kendall Young LIB
rary and other places of interest
were visited by the party before the
light plant was reached. The new
light plant is housed in a fireproof
building built at cost of $4,000.
1t is dignified and handsome and ev-
identity was built with an idea Of
permanency. The equipment con-
lists of two Murray Corliss engines
and two Westinghouse direct con-
nected generators. At the time the
delegation visited the plant only one
engine and generator was being us
ed, although the load was almost at
the peak. Thus it was evident that
the city has made proper provisions
for some time to come. Mayor
Sparboe Is an enthusiastic municipal
ownership man. He produced the
evidence Of the prosperity Of the
plant, its ability to care for the In
debtedness and at the low rate now
being charged for lighting. The
power rates are now being adjusted
and rate as low as 21la cents will
probably be adopted.
That the feasibility of the propo-.
sition made deep impression on the
members of the party was appar-
ent. One or two were from Missouri
until the Investigation was complet-
ed, but they now believe that Cedar
Falls can hardly afford to pass up
the opportunity of establishing a
municipal plant in this city.
