TOWNSHIP TICKETS.

Members of the republican county
central committee met in the court
room in Oskaloosa Saturday after
noon for the purpose of attending to
urgent party business and to care for
campaign affairs that had accumulat-
ed since the last session.
Attention was given to vacancies
on township tickets. In some cases
where nominations were made against
the will of the parties chosen, the
nominee has refused to qualify and
the places must be refilled. In 9TH
err cases where no nominations were
made in the primary election, the
places must be filed by the central

in the precinct is to be supplied.
Not all of the work was completed
in the session of the committee but
it will be cared for later in time for
the names to appear on the ballot.

To Protect clothine From Moths,

1t is commonly known that moths
very much dislike the odor of ink in
old newspapers, Several thickness of
old newspapers firmly glued together
may be made into the form of a bag
and the garment placed inside. After
the ends and all joints are firmly
sealed with glue, the bag is absolutely
moth and dustproof, and your protec-
ton from moths has cost practically
nothing. A big bundle of old papers at
