Henrietta Crosman, who will present
"All-of-a7Sudden Peggy" at the Acad.
envy next Monday night, was the Hrsl
choice OF the author Ernest Denny,
for the character of Peggy O'Mara.
When America managers tried TO get
this comedy after it's big hit las,
year in London, they found that ,Nau.
rice Campbell. Henrietta Crosman's
manager, had already secured the
rights to 1t.
AS a matter Of fact. Mr.. Denny had
MISS CIosman in mind as the ideal
Peggy when he wrote the comedy,
ana even before its London produc.
ton he had sent the ply to Mr..
Campbell who promptly reserved the
American rights. 1t has proved a
wise stroke as Miss Crosman in this;
play has made one Of her biggest
successes.

Second Brood of the Goblin Moth.

The second brood of the Goblin moth
often does much damage to the apple
crop in Iowa. In northern Iowa this
brood will probably begin to hatch
about August 10th and southern Iowa
about two weeks earlier. Since from
as per cent to so per cent of the eggs
of this brood are usually laid on the
leaves it is important in fighting it that
the foliage be thoroughly covered by the
spray. The spraying should be done
before the eggs hatch. 1t is best to
use bordeau mixture with the paris
green, or other arsenical poison, as di-
rected in Bulletin No. So of the Iowa
Experiment Station.
The Station Horticulturist would be
pleased to have those who spray their
apple orchards for the second brood of
the Goblin moth leave few trees I'M
sprayed for comparison with the
sprayed trees and report to him the re-
suits together with the date of treat
ment and the kind of spray mixture
used.

A BADLYlMIXED LAW.
Stdtute1Reldtive to the Election of
Supervisors Bound to Cause
Trouble.

Des MoinesE Correspondence: OF all
the laws.enacted at the last session of
the legislature that fixing the term of
Office of supervisors will probably cause
the most trouble and be the hardest to
understand. The law is the result of a
compromise in which an attempt is
made to fix the term of office at three
years andI hold Ielections every two
years. Senator O. B. COPYRIGHT, count
ed one of the best constitutional
lawyers in the state, drew the bill but
did not draw it as he wanted it. He
wanted the term four years, electing
half of the boards at one election and
half at the next election and this will
likely be done at the next session of
the legislature. The house would not
have it this way, and the senate would
not reduce the term to two years, elect
ing the entire board at each election
and the three year term was the result
The attorney general has not yet inter
prcted the law, and there is some
question[whether or not it can be made
to fit every county in the state. A
number of counties are having trouble
Interpreting it.
Boards of supervisors have three, five
and seven members, the number varying
with the counties. The term of office
was three years heretofore, with an
election every year, which was easy.
Under the new law it is necessary to
elect at general election members of
the board who will not take their office
till a year from the following January.
They will be thus elected fourteen
months before taking their office. One
attorney gave the new law three days
study before he could apply it. Under
the new law, successors will be elected
this year to those whose terms expired

AS no ANTI.pAss LAW.
Railroads Put Liberal Construction
on One of Its Provisions.

Local attorneys of railroads in Iowa
will continue to ride on annual passes,
even though they may happen to be
federal, state, district, county or city
public officials, according to the orders
sent out from the general Offices of the
companies since the new anti-pass law
went into effect July 4. In this respect
the law is literally construed. Regard
ing interstate transportation, however,
it will be obeyed to the letter.
The law prohibits the acceptance Of
passes to or their acceptance by public
officials of cities, counties, districts, the
state and federal government. Many
such officials are local attorneys for
railroads. The companies hold that
annual passes issued to such officials
are not free transportation, but are
part or all of the compensation the
companies pay for legal services. 1t is
their expectation, therefore, that men,
bers of the legislature, county attor-
neys, city attorneys and other officials
specified in the new law, but who are
also local attorneys for railroads, shall
continue to have and use their passes.
No move has yet been made by either
the fathers of the anti-pass law or the
railroads to make test case of the new
statute in the courts, for the purpose
of having the supreme court mass on
the point.

L. NJ. Cox had an accident last Thurs
day morning which almost cost
him his life. He was raking with a
! sulky rake to which he had team of
colts hitched. In turning around, the
rake tongue touched one of the colts
which frightened it and caused it to
break the tongue. This threw Mr.. Cox
in front of the rake and he was dragged
considerable distance. A large cash
was cut on his chin and another on top
of his head. Lew Rominger, who was
driving along the road in buggy just
as the accident occurred, took Mr.. Cox
to the house. DR.. Havely was called at
once and sewed up the gashes and made
the patient as comfortable as possible.
While he has suffered great deal from
the cuts on his chin and head, he re-
ceived no internal injury, and his
speedy recovery is expected.-Kelle
