This pocket size encyclopedia of Iowa governmental history has in the past contained many pages of statistical information dating back to territorial days.

Mr. Brown proposes to drop these dry tables of! figures in favor of more pertinent and i modern outlines of governmental and economic development. Pages 389 to 4C9 will be lifted bodily from the 1937- 3S Red Book. These are solid pages of tabular matter costly to set in type! and of questionable value in the cur- rent issue since it is information eas-! ily obtainable from former issues. In place of this material will go feature articles about former President Her-' bert Hoover, the state fair, The Amer- ican Legion, the WPA and PWA in Iowa, Iowa In the World War, Tama Indian Reservation, Iowa members, schools and universities and many other new subjects.

Mr. Brown expects to have 20,000 copies of The Red Book ready for distribution bv August 1. I TAX-ENDS Jtsdd. Representative from Clinton county, once played professional quit in a huff when be was traded for another player, i $400 in cash and a hunting dot'. I Mrs.

1 Because its picdeeessor was too illing to the rubber off its official bank roll, the State Executive Council found it necessary last week to notify ail officers and departments under its jurisdiction that strict economy in the. purchase of office supplies and equipment would be nece'ssary during- the remaining- months of the fiscal year. The order specified that purchases "must be confined to absolute necessities." When the present council took office the $260,000 appropriation and a $70,000 transfer from the genera! fund had been mowed down with careless abandon. Discussion of the situation revealed, also, why Governor Wilson has been" so anxious to retire as many state owned automobiles as possible. Among the items paid for out of Executive Council funds was $1,600 upkeep on state car No.

Right T0 Operate in Hawarden Will Assure Improved Telephone Service At the meeting- of the Town Council of Hawarden on March 15, a telephone franchise ordinance was passed which, if approved by the voters, will grant the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company permission to occupy the streets and alleys of Hawarden with its lines for a period of 25 years. This franchise ordinance will be submitted for ratification by the voters at a special election to be held here on April 20.

The cost of this election will be borne by the Telephone Company. If the franchise ordinance is approved, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company plans to install a new telephone system which will provide common battery telephone service for the people of Hawarden. With common battery service, the telephone users signal the operator by lifting the receiver from its hook. An improvement program of this nature will involve an expenditure of about $54 000 in Hawarden. Before proceeding with these plans and being justified in making an investment to provide an improved telephone service, the Telephone Company needs the assurance of the right to use the streets and alleys of Hawarden for a definite period.

A favorable vote on the franchise ordinance by the majority of the voters will give the Telephone Company that assurance. We appreciate the privilege of furnishing telephone service in this community and sincerely desire to continue furnishing an adequate, dependable and convenient telephone service which is satisfactory at all times.
