"FATHER AND SON" BANQU-ET.
First Annual Gathering of Parents and
Boys Great Success.
Forty-five fathers and forty-five sons
gathered at the Y. M. C. A. Friday eve
ning for the first annual "Father and
Son" banquet held under the auspices
of the association. The attendance was
not as large as the committee had
hoped for, but considering that it is
the first banquet of its kind held, was
quite satisfactory.
Superintendent of Schools Aaron
Palmer acted as toastmaster, intro
ducing the speakers, D. W. Norris and
H. E. Wilson. Mr. Norris spoke pri
marily to the boys, urging them to take
advantage of the many opportunities
offered them that their fathers had
been deprived of. Mr. Wilson's ad
dress was to the fathers, and had for
its main theme the idea of cultivating
a conscience. After the speeches and
the supper, which was served by the
Ladies' Auxiliary, the boys enjoyed a
swim In the pool while the fathers
looked on. Another banquet of a simi
lar nature will be held next year..

LOCAL COMMENT
It is time that the mayor and the
city council put up the bars against
carnivals. We do not want them in
Marshalltown and it should be made
so difficult for them to get into our
town that they would prefer to go else
where and eventually disband. We
havfe amusement of a wholesome char
acter for our people in our baseball
games, our theaters and our picture
shows and once every fall the county
fair puts on attractions which are good
and clean and wholesome. Let's bar
the traveling carnival with its usual
retinue of more or less undesirable
characters which so often give the po
lice department more expense than
their license money can repay. Mar
shalltown has'risen above the carnival
level so let's live that way.
The property owners on North Third
avenue who want the paying extended
to Marlon street should be given what
they ask. That is one of the worst
pieces of roadway in this city at all
times and it carries about the heaviest
travel. It needs paving' badly.
Those farmer who would like to have
their road west of Oilman designated
as a county road !s«t«idv of the one
lying a mile south evidently find some
thing of value in the present highway
law and the system of county roads.
The fact that the county has already
spent county money on the other road
may delay the granting of this re
quest but in the meantime these
farmers should co-operate with their
township" and contribute of their own
labor dollar for dollar of township
money until this road has been put to
an engineer's grade. This is the way
people get their roads paved in states
where paving is done, for no bond iMue
Is ever large enough to pave all of the
roads and when one road has been
paved everybody clamors for theirs to
.be paved too. The county can afford
to put In necessary bridges now and
if the Interested locality will bring this
road to grade the county can then add
it to the county road system for main
tenance.

than It is to neglect to wash the back

never be complete until the buildings
are painted.. Faint is on investment
rather than an expense. Paint pre

goes on forever. It requires paint to
check decay therefore painting pays.
Aside from this, however, paint like
good clothes helps to make one look
respectable. Of course, some disreputa
ble things go on behind good paint but
all thing being equal, well painted
buildings bespeak thrift and care and
good business management and clean
living on the part of the owner. So
cially, paint denotes a live town while
its absence usually marks the grave
of a dead one. Paint us 3d thruout a

The women of the'T. W. C. A." have
demonstrated to the men of the Mar

in household management. The annual
statement of the cafeteria operated by
the women shows a net profit of 10 per
cent on meals which averaged gross in
come of 15 cents each, while the Mar
shalltown Club's meals average 30
cents each and have always entailed a
loss each month, which has to be met
from the membership dues of the club.
A man eats more, to be sure, and he
demands expensive varieties. Serving
one meal per day involves an* over
head expense for labor which la more
than when the same labor serves more
than one meal but still the difference
is oo great that the women aro entitled
