Tastes | Ike Peas
Fresh from Garden

That Is what they all say when once
they taste Mana Garden Peas canned
by the new Mana process. Peas are a
delicious wholesale food and during the
season when grocers can supply them
in the pods crisp and fresh or one can
get them from the garden they are a
popular daily dish--but the canned ar
ticle has never been so popular because
it tasted canned. Then again one has
never been able to depend upon a
brand-even the expensive ones. The
grocer could not help 1t. He bought the
same brand from the jobber and paid
the same price but the peas would be
different. That was because the job
Der bought from various canneries who
used varied processes.
All peas under Mana label are grown
from Mana Seed and put up by Mana
process which gives you the peas Just
as they come from the garden with
that fresh garden taste and not the
canned taste. One can will convince
any housewife that these are the peas
70 her family.
Many of the best grocers in this city
have Mana Peas in stock. They are
sold at Is cents. two for quarter and
you will find them more than equal to
any peas you ever tasted.

CITY COUNCIL
HELD MEETING
LAST NIGHT
BUILDING ORDINANCE WILL BE
PASSED IN ADJOURNED SESSION
THIS AFTERNOON - PAVING TO
BE REPAIRED.

At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners last night. the building
ordinance was the principal topic OF
discussion, and after considerable de.
liberation it was decided to adjourn
until two o'clock this afternoon, when
the ordinance will be taken up and
disposed Of The ordinance has un-
dergone considerable change from its
original text, and the drafters would
hardly recognize their handiwork,
but in its present condition it is De
lieved to be all the city will require
fol many years to come, and is not
very voluminous. All building phases,
such as plumbing and electric wiring,
is embodied in the ordinance.
After a lot of agitation, the question
of repairing the broken paving is
about to be settled The city has
entered into contract with the Shell
by Downard company to do the work,
and they were supposed to go to work
this morning. This will be a relief to
many of the citizens of the city, who
had begun to despair the work ever
teing done. An estimate was made
by the city engineer of the paving
work done by the Downard company,
and allowed by the commissioners.
Aside from the above, the meeting
was devoid of interest Regular bills
were audited and allowed, and o. c.
Lasher took his office as commits
sioner of finance to succeed J. NJ.

Just what the result will be it is
impossible to determine, at the time
of going to press, but from the inter
est being manifested by local golfers
there will be something doing all day
at the Country Club, with the home
bunch roofing against overwhelming
odds of the invaders for Governor

MAKE REPAIRS
At THE COUNTY
COURT HOUSE
ROOF, WHICH HAS BEEN IN BAD
CONDITION FOR SOME TIME, is
UNDERGOING REPAIRS UNDER
COMMISSIONERS DIRECTION.

York e Dunlap of Oklahoma City
have secured the contract for re-
pairing the roof of the Carter county
court house, and the work is being
done under the personal direction of
County Commissioner Evans, who is
a practical contractor.
For some time the roof has been
in an unsatisfactory condition, many
leaks developing, which threatened the
ceilings of the rooms below, and the
Board of County Commissioners de-
cided, at a recent meeting, that before
matters got more serious, it would
be better to have the necessary re-
pairs made. Practically all of the
gravel roof will have to be removed
and will be replaced with a modern
covering that is said to be abso-
lutely proof against all moisture.
Aside from the glass shattered by
the recent explosion, this is the only
repair work done since the court
house was completed.
