Save the Credit Of tho City
Of keokuk In This
Emergency.

I'm the last forty years. there has
never been such a condition OF snow
on sidewalks" said man this morn
ing, "and Keokuk always took pride
in having the walks cleaned very
soon after snow. It's scandal
the way the snow is allowed to lie on
the walks all over town. Look right
there on Main street in the heart
of the business district-only road
through the snow and hole so a
coal wagon could unload.
1--WE never had such time in get
ting men to shovel snow" said Mayor
Lotion today, and always before there
were plenty of men applying for the
job, so we could put them to work
and assess the cost against the prop
erty. This year we can't get the
men. do wish the people would
clean Off their own wolks. not only
in Main street but all over the resi-
dence district. Please tell the people
that everybody should clean off his
own walk this evening, or by
o'clock tomorrow morning at the
latest"

INDUSTRIAL.
SETBACK.
Verbal Contracts Made During War
Were Not Legalized Before
Armistice Was
Signed.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Delay by
congress in legalizing verbal contracts
is causing an industrial setback, war
industries boards declared today.
Before industry can return TO peace
time production, the capital tied up
in government orders must be re-
leased, it was stated.
Laws under which the government
purchased war necessities required
specific contracts, assigned in pre-
scribed manner. But press of work
made it necessary for the government
to give verbal orders" to manufac
turers with the understandings thai
contracts would be delivered later.

Control the Garden Insects.

1t is coming the time of year when
the garden insects begin to get in
their work SO a stitch in time saves
nine.
The Colorado potato beetle has al
ready put in its appearance in some
localities SO now is the time to get
ahead of the pest. One of the best
methods to use is to spray the plants
as soon as the first beetles appear
with arsenate of lead 8 lbs, paste or
4 I-2 lbs. powder to so gallons of
water. In small quantities use. 3
tablespoonful to one gallon of water
and repeat as often as is necessary to
control pest.
Owing to the demand the Govern
ment is making of every citizen of
the United States to conserve the
use of wheat I'd flour and to eat
more potatoes. We should by all
means try and produce an adequate
supply of potatoes for home con-
sumption. This cannot be done if n.
allow the garden insects to eat up our
truck patches
