State Document Editor Makes Report
For Year Ending July l.
Special TO Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. l0.-The report Of
Ora Williams, state document editor,
shows that the total cost Of printing
and binding for the state for the pc
1916, was s6S,S45.07. This is just one
half of the biennial period between
legislative sessions. During the leg
islative year the printing is much
larger than during the off year.
Practically all of this printing and
binding, however was that ordered or
authorized before the law creating the
office of state document editor becaiue
operative. which was July l. 1915.
In the past year the state auditor
has had reprinted the revenue laws,
banking laws and loan and trust COM
pany laws. The abandoning of the
printing of the session laws has made
it necessary for many of the state Of
1cers to reprint laws for the informa-
ton OF the general public.
Tho secretary of state has had a
reprint of the election laws. The in
surance laws and the school laws have
been printed.
During the biennial term ending
July l, 1915, the total printing bill Of
the state was about s175, 900
Not all of this printing and binding
is done by the state printer and
binder There IS quite a considerable
part of it which is done by other print
ing concerns.

this morning is becoming serious. A
telegram received from Sioux City
states that that section Of Iowa and
Nebraska and Dekota will depend on
Muscatine for its domestic supply.
Sioux City has not bought cabbage in

The local cabbage crop was not
helped materially by the recent rains,
which came too late to relieve the
parched condition to any great extent.
Where there should have been 500 to
1000 cars of cabbages shipped from

Des Aoines. Aug. l9.-There is an
army OF railroad men who work N
Iowa fourteen times as large as the
Iowa National Guard troops now on

figures show that there are 1887 rail-
road men who work in Iowa, including
the officers, or 49,615 exclusive Of the
officers. The men exclusive Of the
officers receive n annual wages $751;
So, 222.el or an average OF S2.46 per
day.
These men do not all live in Iowa
and a large number Of them work in
other states as well as Iowa as their

ORANGES RIPENING IN IOWA,
Council Bluffs Woman Has Three
Trees Bearing in Front Yard.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 1o.-Oranges
are ripening in Council Bluffs. Mrs
Augusta Clark, of 6O4 South First
street, has small orange tree in her
front lawn which just now is attract
ing considerable attention because il is
quite thickly fruited with oranges. The
tree is not large but there are per-
haps three dozen oranges on its
branches
The tree was a gift to Mrs. Clark
from friends living in southeastern
Missouri. She secured it about four
years ago and has it planted in a large
bucket.
Mrs. Clark keeps the tree in the
house during the cold winter months
but during warm weather sets it out
on the lawn. She says it is almost
continually bearing fruit.
The oranges are not what one would
call luscious but have a fiat taste due
to the fact that the roots OF the tree
are confined and not given proper soil
nutrition as are the trees N the orange
groves Of the warm climates.
