COUNTRY CLUB CHANGES.
Golf Course to Be Enlarged; Club to
Purchase Own 'a.s.

Plans, which when matured, will
make several desirable changes in the
Marshalltown Country Club, were dis
cussed at a meeting Of the board Of d.
rectors. held Thursday at the Mar
shaIltown Club. Two of the most i'm
portant decisions reached were that OF
buying a new auto bus and charging
the golf course. =
The club decided to purchase a
motor bus Of its own, and operate 1t
independently, thus giving better SER
vice to members and visitors. It was
also decided to make the golf course
eighteen holes instead Of nine, and q
committee was appointed to consult
with a ground architect. Another COM
mittee was named to secure the SER
vices Of a professional for the coming
season. as Jervis, who was employed
in 1915, will not be back.
Several applications for membership
were passed, and plans for a general
opening up of the club in the near
future discussed. The water situation
at the. club was reported better this
morning, n unless a decided rise
N again today, 1t was thought the
grounds would not be badly flooded.

Treasure Hunt on SATURDAY.

With the ina checking up Of the two
routes to be gone over in search of the
two free Y. NJ. C.. A. memberships, all is
ready for the treasure hunt which
will start in front Of the "Y" Saturday
forenoon. Inquiries have been coming
in rapidly during the past week and in
dications are that at least 200 boys will
start out on the hunt Saturday at II
o'clock. The hour set will give all the
boys an opportunity to go put on the
hunt, as gymnasium classes will be out
at that time.
Altho 200 boys may start out on the
hunt, 1t rs doubtful If more than two
finish, as the two routes made out are
hard ones, and whoever finds the MEM
hership certificate at the end will earn
it.
Every boy must start in front Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. Saturday morning. and to
win the free membership must go over
the entire route from beginning to
end, and be able to describe his search
on his return. Any boy in the city be-
tween the ages Of liz and IS is elig-
ible. Boys may take their choice OF
either route.

There is not much question but that
concrete pavement will cost more this
year thar ever before. Because Of the
increased price of cement, n the
! probable uncertain condition of the
labor supply, it is believed that the
lowest bids for paving the city expects
to let will be 25 or 80 cents a yard
| higher than the price at which paving
was laid last season.
1t is not known. and probably can
not be foretold, what effect the activi-
ties of the government, if war is de-
clared. would have on the supply Of
labor. Last e a the Western Construc-
ton Company started paying s2.75 for a
ten-hour day. Before the season ended
it was paying SO. 1t is not believed
that it will be possible to secure labor
for less thar the latter wage, and it
may be wen more if the country is
engaged in war, the prosecution of
which will absorb a great deal of labor.
Cement Much Higher.
Cement has advanced steadily in the
last year. 1t is selling now at slightly
above 81 q barrel, compared with $50,
or whereabouts, at the corresponding
time last year. 1t is not improbable
that the price will continue to advance
when the building season opens, which
is just what has occurred in other
eaSonS.
City Engineer Steiner has estimated
that probably the lowest bids for paw
ing that the city is preparing to let by
contract will not be less han $1.55 to
$l.6O a yard. The highest price for
city street pavement awarded last
season was S1.34 by the contract let
in June. The previous month a con-
tract was let for $l.2SR a yard for
city streets.

R K RESPONSIBILITY

We did not ask, nor do we now ask, our candi-
dates to surrender their responsibility to anyone
else. This is a time-worn political trick, known IN
street p~arlance as passing the buck 1t was de-
vised as an excuse in advance OF failure, so that a
candidate can continue running for office. Vein
tend to hold Abbott, Bell and Crellin responsible
for what happens in Marshalltown during the
next next two years, and they do not seek to es-s
cape responsibility by referring their business to
some mythical unknown, unnamed, committee.
EQUALZE VALUEs-NOT RAISE TAXES
The A C candidates are opposed to the'oppo-
sition's plan to increase taxes. We believe that
our taxes are highNenough, if the money is expend-l
ed wisely. Our platform is proper equalization OF
values-but not increase in taxes. AS a matter OF
fact, our taxes should be lowered-notr raised.
The A candidates can be depended upon to
carry out their personal pledges to adjust any inn
proper assessment. \
PROPERTY VALUES
A candidate publishes a list Of how he proposes
to increase our taxes. He proposes to increase the
tax values on the lodge buildings OF this town.
Elks. Odd Fellows and Masons, Sixty-One Thou
sand Eight Hundred Dollars; yet these f%raternal
orders are not run for profit.
It is proposed to reduce the tax values of the
bank buildings in Marshalltown Fifteen Thousand

their taxes.
The list reduces the tax value of the Conover
Estate non-resident-Nine Thousand Dollars d
yet this estate spends no money in MarshalltoWn.
The list does increase the tax value on the home
of a tenant of the Conover Estate Twelve Thou
sand Dollars; yet this tenant spends all his money
in MarshalltoWn.
A candidate complains Of the MarshalltoWn
Telephone Company not being taxed. He has not
vet learned that this assessment is not made blythe
City Council, but is made by the State Executive
Council Of Iowa.
The whole schedule Of increase is unreason-
able. It is not only this-but it is misleading and
untrue, and is not worthy Of any onsideratlonn.@

CANDIDATES-HOW SELECTED

For a long period there has been manifest a
spirit of opposition to the manner OF conduct OF
our city politics. Men were selected merely to give
men position. Candidates sought the office for a
salary they could not earn elsewhere. This spirit
of opposition crystalized in a public meeting of our
|citizens held in the East Court Room the evening
of February %, 1917, About $50 were present,
from every walk of life, representative of all the
interests of MarshalltoWn
At this public meeting each ward, in open ses-
sion, selected three men to act as a nominating
committee, and the fifteen men SO selected, after
careful consideration and extended discussion, de-
cided upon L. C. Abbott, John |. Bell and j. C.
!Crellin as the candidates it would propose.
Mr.. Bell was the only candidate present or rep
resented in this committee session, and Mr.. Bell
repeatedly declined to serve. The committee over
ruled his objection. The committee then present
ed these names to the full meeting, and in open
meeting the selection of these candidates was rati-
fled and confirmed.
The people Of Marshalltown at the primary
have since approved this selection, at the polls.
This ticket, then, represents the open and deliber-
ate choice of more than a majority of the voters of
MarshalltOwn
We make this statement for the reason that we
believe our method of choosing candidates must
appeal to the citizens generally, and contrasts ia
|vorably with persons running on their own lnltla-
tive, or representing interests and persons who re-
fuse to come out in the open and say who they are.
CANDIDATES-WHY SELECTED
The selection of Abbott, Bell and Crellin was
made because all had lived in Marshalltown for
years-because all owned homes and were tax
payers-because all were competent, and vitality
in Observation-Disclosures because none OF
them were looking for a job.
We do not believe the business of managing
the civic affairs of Marshallt0wn should be made
the final refuge of the chronic office seeker.
PLEDGES OF CANDIDATES
The citizens selecting these candidates asked
of them no pledge or platform, save this
To give a progressive administration bust
ness-like conduct of municipal affairs-an end of
procrastination and neglect-aproper adjustment
of tax values, so that the business property and
the home should proportionately bear the burdens
of taxation. That all should receive a square deal,
and each candidate give us his best endeavor.
The. citizens were and are ready to trust these
men to carryout their personalpledges in this re-

FEWER WOMAN WORKERS
High Wages Are Responsible for
More Marriages, According to
One Authority.

Difficulty In securing sufficient labor,
has been one of the greatest of the
many problems with which the manu-
facturer has been confronted during
the past year and half. Since the
first of the year the supply OF male
labor has become better, but there Is
still great dearth of female workers.
In the manufacture of many goods
there are some processes in which girls
are used almost entirely. Small ana
nimble fingers are required. UP to the
influx of war orders In 1915 there was
a plentiful supply of female help Tor
factory work, but thereafter the supply
became inadequate to meet the de-
mand.
Munltion plants went into the mar
ket for female workers and did not
hesitate to offer higher wages than
were being paid elsewhere. This lured
large numbers of girls away from oth-
er factories. Furthermore, II has been
noticed that there are actually less
women working at these tasks today
than formerly. The young men have
been earning wages better by far than
formerly received, and, while living
is much higher, this is not considered.
AS result the girls are marrying
faster.
Moreover, many girls who went into
the factories because the family earn
ings were not sufficient to keep them
in school or at home, are now again
taking up their studies or home duties
because the wages of the father have
increased sufficiently. - Electrical

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or

ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound.
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infame or even irritate the

can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.

BOYS TO HELP RAISE FOOD

Though They Were Soldiers.

Lansing-An army of boys, trained,
enlisted and treated just like the army
of men which is now being raised all
over the country to fight Germany, is
planned for Michigan. These boys are
to help raise food.
The plan embraces mobilization OF
the boys by counties. County agents
will estimate the number needed and
the county will be expected to furnish
housing. The state will furnish the
other needs Of the cadets.
Over the boys in each group will be
a commandment. He will see that the
cadets are distributed properly, that
they do their work and are given fair
deals by the farmers.
The cadets will be chosen much as
are recruits for the regular army,
They will have to pass physical ex-
