The Reason Why.

We can sell you wall paper and paint
cheaper than any other firm III the
city or mail order house. because we
own our own building. paying no high
rent. We buy in car lots direct from
the largest factory in the United States,
paying no middleman a profit. We do
not depend solely on our paper and
paint profits. These things all allow
us to sell at a lower margin of profit.
Quality considered. we can't be under
sold. We employ only good sober me
chanics, with the know how to 10 our
work. II you are not a customer Of
ours. its because you haven't given us
the opportunity of making you one.

LOCAL COMMENT

The action OF City Clerk Wilson in
employing. on his own initiative. an
expert consulting engineer to invests
gate Marshalltowns water problem,
quite naturally produced sensation
within the membership Of the city
council The city clerk exceeded his
authority when he assumed the re-
sponsibility that properly belonged to
the council He justities his action by
the necessity Of emergency, and says
that he did not propose to see the
council spend the city's money with
out first knowing whether or not the
expenditure Is advisable, or words to
that effect.
Only last week the council let a con-
tract involving an expenditure of $5,33l
for work on the water system. The
city clerk wants to ascertain whether
or not this money should be spent as
the council intends spending it, or
whether It will be a useless eXpendi-
ture of money; whether or not the
money that is spent henceforth should
be applied in another direction;
whether there is not better type of
wells for this city to adopt, a type that
will provide a more lasting supply OF
water. The city clerk isn't saying
what Is the better thing to do, but he
thinks that the council ought to have
expert advice on how best to proceed
to obtain results that will show for
something in the public investment.
The clerks action. bold as it may ap-
pear. agrees with very general opin-
ion that il would be good business to
secure the services of an expert on
water supply.
With the heavy SHOWS to the north
threatening extremely high water this
spring, it would be well for the council
to see that the dam, built at Asher
creek to protect the city's pipe line
from the wells, is in the best possible
shape to Withstand an onslaught OF
water and ice. The breaking Of the
pipe line would be real calamity,
and the council can not be too careful
in playing safe in protecting the
pipe from damage.
4
The success of the first community
father and son banquet TO be held in
this city was extremely gratifying TO
those, who planned the affair. II was
an inspiring sight, this gathering OF
over 400 men and boys on an equal
plane-men ready 10 learn mere per
haps about their own boys. and boys
benefiting from the lessons taught
concerning duties TO their parents. The
affair proved beneficial TO both. and
similar events will be welcomed an
nually by both the Older and younger
boys"
II is to be hoped that a sentence of
forty years imprisonment for staging
a holdup and shooting his victims Will
be a lesson locally to would be hold
ups" This variety OF law breaking has
been too prevalent within recent
months, and a precedent of twenty
years on each charge should have the
effect Of causing prospective perpe-
traitors to weigh the consequences.
