An exchange makes the remark that
one OF the things standing in the way of
getting farmers to take hold of the road
drag has been the fact that present road
law compels them to pay their road
taxes in cash. 1t is pretty hard to con
vince man, who has paid his road tax,
that he should also get out and work
the roads without pay. In some locali-
ties the township trustees are success
fully meeting that obstacle by allowing
pay from the road fund to the farmers
who drag certain stretches of road and
keep them in condition. 1t is said the
plan is proving popular and those who
have used the roads where the plan is
In operation can testify to good results
on the roads.

Apples Out OF Sight.

Not in the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant has there been so complete
a failure of the apple crop in this sec
ton of Iowa as is reported this year.
Til worst of it is that the same report
comes from all over the country. Miss
ouri reports very short crop and New
York apple growers are bothered in the
same way.
The result Of it all is that the price is
going slyward and apple lovers will
have to pay fancy prices this winter or
be content to go without.

So cleanliness is an enemy to this

Some people never dream of praising
anything or anybody. They take every
thing as matter of course, and imagine
that they show their superiority by so
doing. They little dream that they
never get the best service owing to
their niggardliness in showing their
appreciation. 1t is surprising how a
little word of praise stimulates to new
efforts, and puts life and interest into
the work of those about us.

PRETTY GIRL is KEPT BUSY
DENYING THAT SHE rs MARRIED

they were intending to be married, he
answered: "Oh, yes, of course. Don't
tell any one, though" Miss Winton
and Moody thought that Johnson would
understand that they were joking.
Although each knew the other was
going to California neither knew on
what train the other was going. A
strange coincidence they thought it was
when they met on the train bound for
California. 1t was equally strange that
they rode in the same car
AT Ell Paso, Texas, Moody wrote to a
friend, Lucien Jalageas, saying he was
travelling with the Wintons.
When he left East st. Louis Moody
did not tell his parents of his trip, leav-
ing it until the last and finally not
having time, after trying to telephone
to them. 1t was due to this fact that a
request for $40 from his father was at
first refused. Moody had asked that 1t
be sent to. San Antonio, Texas. In
some way, 1t seems, the news of the
refusal of the father to send the money
was made known to the friends of
young Moody and with the other facts
caused them to believe that -he had
eloped with Miss Winton.
Later request for money from the
young man at Los Angeles was honored
by the father. A week ago when the
1t was thought that he was married
and regardless of his denials 1T was so
published in the st. Louis papers.
Mrs. Winton and her daughter stayed
at the Cumberland hotel on Olive street
until yesterday when they left for a
trip to San Francisco. Miss Winton,
who is a very beautiful young woman
was angered by the report of her mar
riage to Mr.. Moody. She was very
positive in her denial and asserted that
there was no intention on her part or
Mr.. Moody's of becoming anything
more than friends She said that he
stopped at the same hotel where she,
her mother and brother stopped but
that he stayed there only two days.
The hotel register bears out her state
ment. -.
Miss winton regards the subject as
joke that has been carried too far. She
thinks that some friend of Mr.. Moody
Is responsible for the report and did
it thinking 1t would be a very good
joke on both herself and him.

Louis Content, 13 years DID, who lives
High street, broke all records for losing
things last night. He even went so far
as losing both his father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. N. j. Content, whom he
afterward found had lost him and were
trying to find him. The lads parents
were out with friend from San Fran
cisco. Before leaving the house they
gave Louis some money to pay for his
supper. When he returned to the
house they were gone. He waited until
10 o'clock for them to return and then
started out to find them. The boy
went down town and to several places
where he thought they might be. I'm
successful in his search, he started to
telephone at First and Spring
streets to communicate with his sis
ter, Mrs. Leroy Holt Of 1902 Union ave-
nue..
There the boy lost the nickel he had
when he started. Then he went to the
police station where they told him that
his parents were all right and would
be home soon. Louis then started
home, but when he arrived there the
youth found he had lost the door key
and could not get into the house. Then
the boy came up to The Herald Office
and used one of the telephones. Here
the youngster discovered that he had
forgotten the name of the sister where
he expected to find his parents and
had lost the card on which the name
was written.
Finally when Louis telephoned to his
home at l o'clock he found that his
parents were there and worried about
him.

STORY OF EL0PEMENT CAUSES
EMBARRASSMENT
Miss Wanda Winton and James M.
Moody of ST. Louis Say They
Are Victims of Joke Carried
Too Far

A series of strange condolences and
numerous mistakes has occasioned
much embarrassment for James M
Moody, a prominent society youth and
the son of one of the best known men
IN East st. Louis, j. Moody of the
Moody Commission company of the Ma
t1onal stock yards, and Miss Wanda
Winton, daughter of Mrs. B. V. Winton.
widow of one of the former mayors of
East st. Louis and quite wealthy.
Moody, who is 10 years of age. Is at
present regarded as a married man by
his acquaintance in East ST. Louis
and is busy explaining to no avail
that he is still single Miss Winton.
VINO Is but II years of age and very
pretty, is insisting that she is still Miss
Winton and intends to remain SO for
some time to come.
Four weeks ago Mrs. Winton, who
lived with her son, Orlum, and daugh-
ter, Wanda, at 1868 Castleman avenue
in st. Louis, decided to come to Cali
fornia for the winter. Young Moody
whose home is with his parents at 11O1

employer, G. l.. Cragen of the Cragen
Real Estate company in East st. Louis,
at about the same time, saying he was
going to California
1t was well known to the many
friends of the young people that Moody
had been paying attentions to Miss
Winton for four months. He made her
acquaintance at society event in East
st. Louis.
The day before the departure for
California Moody met a friend of his,
