ment Of people both at home and
when visiting here Much hard work
is done by home owners to keep their
lawns and flower beds in shape. To
have much Of their labor wiped out in
a single night by vandals who not
only steal flowers but trample and de-
the least. Peony thieving is now
different parts of town. An example
or two with stiff fine would bring
about salutary effect.
George Gregory, chairman of the
rooms and accommodations committee
for the G. A. r. encampment, pub
licly appeals for more rooms for the
use of Marshalltown's guests next
week. If there is not heartier re-
spouse, the prospects are that Mar
shalltown's reputation for hospitality
will not be borne out 10y the facts 1t
may be sacrifice to open ones home
to strangers, but under the circum-
stances, when hotel accommodations
are insufficient, it will be necessary in
order to entertain the visitors as all
Marshalltown wants them entertained.
The state labor convention delegates
are loud in their praise of MARSHALL
towns hospitality and so were the
manufacturers. We do not want our
Grand Army friends to return to their
homes feeling that our front doors
were closed in their faces. Two nights
at Is cents each will bring $l50 for
u spare bed and many a woman can
provide herself new hat with very
little effort. Often two can occupy
the same bed which would return 81
for the two nights. There is money
in it as we'll as an expression OF hos
pitality and public spirit.

Already we have begun to reap re-
ward for our folly in constructing
viaduct which discharges it's traffic
upon a grade crossing Of railroad
This danger was pointed out but it
was disregarded. One death during
the first months use of the new struc-
ture Is the price of our neglect. Extra
ordinary precautions must now be TAX
en- to warn people of this death trap.
There must be gate at the Great
Western crossing, signs Of warning on
the viaduct and everybody must be
compelled to move slowly. The via
duct is built and must be used as 1t Is
until such time as the Great Western
can be induced to abandon it's present
tracks thru this city and run its trains
into the union station. 1t suffers the
inconvenience of steep grades on both
east and west approaches to this city
which could be avoided If its trains
could use leased tracks from the in
terlocking plant to the old canning fac
tory now occupied by the La Plant
Tool Company. 1t is time the Mar
shalltown Club were at work on this
project for it will require years Of la
Dor to bring 1t about.

PLENTY OF PURE WATER

1t is very important thing to have
plenty of pure water on the farm dur
ing the summer time. Disease germs
multiply during the warm weather
much more rapidly than they do in
colder weather. For this reason
these germs will be more .apt to be
carried in impure water during tho
simmer than during the winter.
If you are So situated that it is nee
essary to use surface well, it should
be well protected against the entrance
of surface water, and no contamina
ton should be allowed to get into Z
from manure pits or cesspools.
Pure water is to be highly priced
and every farmer should see to it
and provide plenty of pure water du
ing the summer time both for do
mestic purposes and for lis livestock

CHINESE CARPENTERS
HIRED BY ENGLISH

The Chinese carpenters have been
sent in large numbers from India to
work with the English expeditionary
force in Mesopotamia. Officers at
Rangoon received special instructions
to employ Chinese carpenters tor
work with the English military forces,
because of their great skill in build
ing all sorts of temporary shelters
and bridges.
Russia has drawn upon China for
large numbers of laboreTs to work IN
Siberian mines, to build railways and
replace white labor in agricultural
districts robbed of their men by the
war, and France has also drawn up
on China for agricultural labor.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
TO DECIDE GAS RATE
Price Fixed by Congress to Obtain
Unless Found Unfair to Pub
lie or Producer.

The 75-cent gas rate ordered by Con-
gress may be increased or lowered by
the public utilities commission If that
body. after sufficient investigation, de-
termines the rate to be unfair to either
the public or the company.
This was made clear by officials of
the commission today. They stated
that the commission will continue its
work of valuation of the properties of
the gas companies for rate-making pur-
poses.
The provision in the District appropria-
ton bill in regard to gas charges provides
that nothing herein contained shall be
construed as limiting or taking away any
Of the powers now vested by law In the
public utilities commission Of the Dis
trict of Columbia"
This simply MEANS" said an official Of
the commission today. that the congress
sional rate will go into effect October
and continue in force until it is changed
by either Congress or the utilities COM
mission.
The commission will order higher or
lower rate if such action is called for by
the showing of the valuation"

CALLS At WHITE HOUSE;
GARRETSON IS SILENT
Brotherhood Leaders Understood to
Insist on Enactment Of Eight-Hour
Bill Before Hating Strike.

A p Garretson. spokesman for the
railroad brotherhoods. held brief
conference with President Wilson to-
day. When he left the White House
he refused to say why he had called.
The President kept the cabinet wait
ing while he talked with Mr.. Garrett
son. White House officials said Mr..
Garretson had called to give the Presi-
dent some information"
Mr.. Garretson refused to say whether
he discussed the calling off of the
strike There was every indication,
however, that the administration ex-
pected the strike to be called off before
Sunday morning.
The employees leaders are standing
firm in their determination not to call
off the strike unless the bill becomes
a law before Saturday night at mid
night They feel that il they per-
mitted even one Sunday to intervene
something might arise in one of the
two houses of Congress to defeat the
measure. 1t is against such-an ex-
igency that they are guarding by
forcing the strike order to stand.
brotherhood leaders declared after
a conference with Senator Newlands
and others at the Capitol today that
the eight-hour bill was certain of
passing.
