To REPAIR PAVING.
CITY COUNCIL PASSES REsoLu-
TtoN or NECESSITY.

The city council met in regular SEES
sion Monday evening and all officers
were in their places except City En-
gineer H. C, Hawkins and Street Com
missioner John Corcoran. The
council listened to the remarks of A.
+. Miller of Des Moines, representa-
tive of The Barrett Company, the
makers of Taryia a. the top dress
ing that is proposed for the re-sur-
facing of First avenue west, from
South Market street to South street
where the new brick paving begins
Mi. Miller stated that Tarvia "a"
was coal tar composition and not an
asphalt preparation and that when it
came in contact with brick or con-
crete surface, it becomes practically
part of the pavement itself and that
under the most severe traffic condi-
lions ii would bear UP without crack
ing or chipping for frequently six or
seven years without redressing, and
that in case of repair the surface could
be finished Off without detriment and
the dressing would be as good as the
balance of the surface about it.
Mr.. Miller advocated the putting on
of enough of this top dressing, so that
the party doing the work would be
warranted in using the most approved
methods and thus secure a thorough
and complete piece of work. Approx
imately the cost would be about 80
cents square yard but when once on
and subject to the natural traffic Of
the city, the company would guaran-
tee the durability of the dressing for
five years and the chances were that
with reasonable care, it would last
much longer Washington, Fort
Dodge and other cities in Iowa as
large or larger than Oskaloosa, are
using the dressing on their streets
and all speak highly in regard to the
general satisfaction given.
On motion the Resolution of Neces-
sity was passed by the council, and
the matter will come up for bids at a
later date. Clerk Carlin read the
cemi-monthly claims list. The re-
port offs City Treasurer II. L. White
was presented for the month of De-
cember. The city attorney was in
structed to investigate and develop
some plan for the refunding OF the
city warrants that still remain unpaid
and to make report at the next meet
ing of the council fs sr
The council here took a recess and
retired for the purpose of a private
consultation and upon returning the,
matter of the wind storm insurance
was taken up, for the protection of the
city hall and fire station and bid
was accepted for policy of $4,000,
and the clerk was instructed to have
the former policy cancelled.
In the matter of the removal of an
old stump near the corner of South
Second street and Fifteenth avenue,
brought to the attention of the coun-
ell a short time ago, the committee
made favorable report and the stump
was ordered out.

The decision was unanimous.
Refuting the arguments today the

drafting of the soldiers into the arm

JOLLY ENTERTAINERS
AT GRAND THEATRE

The jolly Entertainers from the
Industrial Home Training School are,
without doubt, the most unique
musical organization on the road.
For seven years this troupe of chill
dren have been the sole support of
the Home, which has cared for 20
to 80 children during that time. The
Home is highly endorsed by all who
know OF the good work being done
there, including Governor Lister of
Washington, eX-Mayor Cotterin of
Seattle, B. p o. of Elks, commercial
clubs of Tacoma and DesMoines and
hundreds of other prominent persons
and organizations.
Aside from the laudable effort the
children are making to support them
selves the performances given are
really worth while. There is moth
ing amateursh about them, as one
might think, but vaudeville. musical
comedy, minstrel and high class con-
cert numbers are given by these chill

many an adult professional perform

GROCERS' SUGAR SUPPLY TOBE
GOVERNED BY LAST QUARTERS
DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION ONLY

Retail grocers will be entitled dur
ing the current quarter to receive
from the local food administration
certificates for sugar only in the
amount they sold during the preced-
ing quarter for domestic consump-
tion. This means that the sugar they
sold during the preceding quarter for
home canning or to hotels. restau-
rants, bakeries. soft dring esta blish-
ments, confectioners. etc, cannot be-
included in figuring the amount of
their allowance for the current
quarter.
This decision was incorporated in
additional instructions received this
morning by DIR. w. d. McNary. coun>
ty administrator and it is fraught
with a good deal of significance to
grocers, inasmuch as many were act
ing under the assumption that they
would receive the same amount OF
sugar they sold during April, May
and June regardless of the purpose
for which it was sold.
However. the situation viii not

grocers as surface consideration
might indicate. The certificates
which the baker. hotel or restaurant
keeper confectioner. Gamer, soft
drink proprietors. etc. must surren-
der to the grocer for sugar can be
used by the grocer to replace the
stock thus sold. In other words these
certificates will have for him the
same value of the certificates issued
direct by the food administration.
Sugar sold since July for can
ming purposes may be replaced up
on a proper showing to the state
administration. a statement of the
amount so sold must be submitted to
the state administrator and must not
exceed the amount shown bS the
