LOCAL COMMENT

"
+ After ave months work during which
time the chief assessor has been con-
flncd to his house with illness and half
Of his deputies have been changed the
census Of Marsialitown does not yet
come up to the enumeration of Ave
years ago by 1000 names or more.
During the past five years the Times
Republican has published the names OF
people who have built nearly 200 new
houses every year and none have
burned down. Every house we had five
years ago and from 500 to 1000 more
are occupied so why are there not
more people to be counted? The public
is not concerned as to whether county
OFFICERS are to retain salaries in the
10000 population class but every man
who owns property here Is concerned
in a census which proposes to give this
town a false reputation for retrogres-
sion instead OF the growth which we
all know to have taken place The
T.-R. is delivering by carrier to homes
within this city 25 per cent more pa
pers than 1t did ave years. ago and
nobody is taking two papers where one
was taken before that we know. The
thing for the county auditor to do is
to obey the law. It Is his duty under
the statute to take a census when the
assessors fail and he should take one.
He can recall all the census cards,
sort them by blocks and the Marshall
town Clubs census Is already sorted by
blocks. With these two lists men can
recheck every block in the city In
very short time. This census Is vitality
important to all property interests and
should not be allowed to 60 by default.
It is I'D to Mr. Dobson.
At least Marshalltown will get In line
with Clinton, Davenport. Keokuk. Ce-
dar Rapids, FIT. Dodge and many othes
Iowa towns and will established pub
lie play grounds with . supervisor in
charge, Let the committee go at 1t
right and do thorough piece OF work
for upon the success Of the first play
ground depends the future expansion
Of the movement. Make Marshalltown
the best town on earth in which to
live should be our slogan and when
we look back over the progress of the
past few years it is apparent that we
have done wonders in that direction
And right now is the time for the
Marshalltown Motor Club to give some
evidence of it's existence. We need
visiting committee for every main road
out Of town who will call upon the
farmers who have the dragging to do
and will arrange to have the work
done far more thoroughly than it was
ever done before.
The Marshalltown Club has tackled
project now which will do more for
the upbuilding Of the cit tho

railroads could do and we nav. :

Set Season Record

James P. Diehl and his neighbor'
Roy n. Coates, recently spent a week
at Clear Lake. They returned home
quietly few days ago and the news
paper is in possession Of positive in
formation that neighbors Of the Diehl-
Coates families enjoyed fish that came
from the lake.
Now comes the story from the cor
respondent Of the T.-R. at Clear Lake
that Diehl and Coates established the
seasons record for catches. According
to this story the two caught ninety six
fish in two days. There were thirty
one crappies in the string, the rest be-
ing pike and silver bass. The item
adds, 1.-The men only fished for two
hours each day."
Confidentially it might be said that
Diehl has been known to make the
statement since he returned home that
he caught up to the legal limit Of forty
fish one day and then had to stop be-
cause he is law abiding. 1t might be
added, soto voice, that Diehl Is not
disinterested witness because he owns
cottage on the lake shore.

lies all along the line is being re- tarded and delayed by the same cause. The ammunition scarcity is being over come as rapidly as possible, but the demand for shot and shell is certain to go on increasing as long as war lasts. The action of the British gov ernment, in assuming supervision of ammunition plants and of the labor employed therein, with a view of speeding up operations, promises tS increase very largely the consumption lof copper in England.
 It is estimated that approximately one-half of the copper now being pro
 duced is going into war materials and
 the greater portion of this is being destroyed and lost. Only a. small
 portion of it will ever come back
 into the market as old metal. It is believed that there was approximately
 4OO, ,O0O,O00 pounds of copper in the
 worlds stocks when the war began, and consumers now assert that it is extremely difficult to find any appre- ciable amount of the metal available
 for immediate delivery. The surplus | has been absorbed and all of the
 producing companies have sold prac- tically their entire outputs in advance for July, August and September, and
 considerable copper is said to have
 been sold for delivery as far ahead as December.
 There is no good basis for the belief
 that the price of copper will decline, and there are many indicators la the
 situation which point toward a fur thor advance. Production 6 at prac- Itically full volume and still increas- ing; but ammunition making dapa- city is being enlarged and expanded on every hand. There can be no doubt that the latter will keep full
 pace with tie former It seems more
 probable that there will be a copper
 famine than a copper surplus six
 months hence.

It is plan ned to make quick repairs to the rail road line to Naco and officials of the company expect to make shipments via Naco shortly. Some time ago the management considered arranging for the movement of ore via Nogales, but this would be a much logner haul and the company has never used that line to get it's product away from the mines. Some of the materials used by the company come by way of No gales, especially oil, which is ship ped from California.

Lake Is quoted all ths way from Qe Ia to 23 1-G cents, to bsand, and electrolytfe is 20 1-4 to 20 1-2 cents a pound. The volume of sales has been much smaA- CT this week, the sharp declines in the prices of lead and spelter having led many copper consumers to assume that this metal would feA also. Such sales of copper as have been made by tho leading producing and selling in tereste, however, have been booked at the same or higher prices than those prevailing a week or two ago. The producers are not eager to sell and there is nothing in the situation to in- dicate any decrease of consumption, either present or prospective.

FIRE FIGHTERS WIN.
Oscar Websters Ranch at Central Is
 Saved from the Flames.

What might have been a very seri- ous fire, but which, fortunately, was fought successfully, occurred Wednes- day afternoon of last week at the ranch home of Oscar Webster, at Cen tral in the Gila valley.
 In the afternoon the men were burning stubble in a field west of where MT. Webster had stacked his wheat and about thirty feet from his lhay barn. The burning of the stubble would have been successfully accom- plished, but a whirlwind cam along and carried the sparks into the top of the wheat stack, which immedia- tely caught fire. An east wind was blowing and it looked bad as the house and hay barn, win hundred tons of hay stored, were in line with the b&rniqg wheat stack.
 Hr Websser's nefghbors hurried to his asaistance and ths telephone rang the alarm in Stafford. The ,Saffotd veiunteer Fire Department responded, as we'll as oeng business men, who jumped inso automobiles and broke the speed record to Cen tra1.
 EveWhody worked hard fighting the flames, and luckily there WEBS plenty of water near the stack. In a short time the fire was out
 The hay barn and house were nNt damaeed The loss tS the wheat was about $500. MT. Webster haa Ia large number of young calves which were dangerousfy near. but they were saved.

 way out, sent friend to this place to intercept the lad with tho result that

Officers Wear Steel Masks.

The Paris Matin publishes the pic
ture of a gentleman With something
on his head that at first sight looks
like a divers helmet, and at the sec.
ond like a cupola in REINFORCED con
crete, with a couple of 16-inch guns
protruding. What it really is, is a
French officer wearing the new iron,
or rather steel and nickel, mask, which
there is quite serious question of
adopting for officers and noncommis-
stoned officers whose duties as OBJ
servers compel them at times to raise
their heads above the protection of
the trenches. These observer pro-
tectors" shield the face and neck Of
their wearers, and by a simple, but
very ingenious mechanism, the field
glasses which are fixed to the helmet
can be focused by cords manipulated
from beneath. Thus chance Of in
juries to the hands-also distressing
ly frequent in this sort of work-are
completely obviated.

A street suit, cut on conservative
lines, which manages to be up to the
minute in its style, deserves more
than a passing glance. The attrac-
tive suit shown here accomplishes
these things and compels attention be-
cause of its excellence. There is ev-
cry reason for buying good material
in suits that must stand much wear,
and every reason to expect them to
outlast a single season and come in
handy for "~knockabout" wear a sec
ond season.
In the suit pictured, made of serge,
the skirt is moderately wide with the
fullness laid in broad plaits at each
side. 1t is a little longer than ankle
length and finished with a three-inch
hem. 1t is cut with a high waist line,
to be worn without a belt, and is fitted
about the hips.
The jacket is cut with straight lines
like a box coat and is confined In a
high waist line by a narrow belt of
the material. The front shows a small
cutaway with a little ~"V''-shaped vest
set in, having it's point at the bust
line. There are no revers, but the
neck is finished with a collar of silk,
wired to roll gracefully.

buckle and is cut at the front to sim

THE mere presence of a bullet In.

at all. The old idea that it will cause
infection died long ago . We now

very largely to blame. for they con.
