unused and uncared for will soon be-
come the proverbial streaks of rust.
! The same applies to the dirt road.
Iowa should have at least ten per cen:

Many Promise TO Use Drag.
The visit of Secretary G. 9. Ellis of
1.-THE state agricultural board of Mis-
souri, to the King farm for the purpose
of securing the speaker to travel about
the state for the purpose of telling of
and demonstrating the King drag was
told. Several letters from persons
some of whom We're skeptical for
time as to its possibilities. but gave the
drag q trial with success, were read
and testified to the things to be ac-
oomplished by the use of the King
drag. The methods of how to use the
drag were explained by the speaker
and the manner of destroying mud
| holes and spouty spots in the roads
was gone into in detail. There is no
question" continued Mr.. King. but
| that any sensible man who does drag
his share of the roads, will be well
paid for his work. Drag the road when
moist but not sticky for best results
| Following the close of the address
many availed themselves of the
suggestions of the speaker and
countless questions were asked
Cl anu answered Dy MIN IN a manner
that showed his thorough knowledge
ofFthe subject. Many of those present
| signified their intention of getting and
Using drag on the roads.
Served Luncheon.
| Following the meeting, a luncheon of
sandwiches and coffee was enjoyed by
the men present who We're also served
| fragrant havanas as an after lunch
comfort. The visit of D. Ward King to
to Ottumwa will surely mark an era
in the condition of highways about
Ottumwa if the enthusiasm and will
| ingness to respond to the apostle of
good roads last night bears any fruit
at all. A more practical demonstra-
ton of interest in the movement would
be hard to imagine for farmers, local
residents who have interests in the
county and automobile owners We're
present and interested very noticeably
in the talk, and most of those who
have not drags at present promised to
get one A vote of thanks to the speak
er was offered in motion by Martin
B. Hutchinson and in putting the mo-
ton. Chairman Harper spoke of the
possibilities to be attained by the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Kings advice, predict
ing good roads that will make Wapello
county well known in the list of pro-
gresssive communities that are striv-
ing to keep in the lead of the process
| slor of progress.

SOlEHEATD WORDS EXCHANGED

AFTER stormy session during which
personalities were INDUCED In and
harmony was conspicuous by its abb
ssnce. the. city council adopted SAL
sry ordinance revising greatly that
adopted ct the meeting Monday night.
Alderman NORTH IN Introducing the
revised schedule Of salaries stated that
the schedule adopted last Monday night
did notsmeet with the approval OF the
mayor and for that reason the revis-
ION was, . necessity. He said that q
conference was held In the mayors Of
nee Tuesday night. which was particf-
pated in by several members Of the
council and the mayor during which
the new schedule he was about to Of
fer was decided on.
Alderman Brassell took exceptions
to the references to q meeting in the
mayors once and asked how many al
dsr1nen had been invited and stated
that he had not been invited nor had
he received an invitation.
IN replying to Alderman Brasssil.
President Virgin explained that the
conferences held in the mayors yff1ce
was most informal and that invita-
lions had been extended to only such
aldermen as he had been fortunate
enough 20 meet about the streets.
The explanations Of the president
did not seem to satisfy Alderman BIAS
sell who continued throughout che
session to refer to the conference as a
caucus and repeatedly asserted his
belief that those who were, present at
the caucus were endeavorin1 to run It
over the others OF the council" and
called the proceedings "cut ind dried. "
Change Made.
The changes made In the salary
schedule are as follows:
