Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Dec. THE scarcity OF
water In the streams is not only caus-
ing serious Inconvenience to farmers
who have stock to look after. but 1t Is
necessitating those who are users OF
Ice to turn to the larger rivers and
lakes for their supply. The ice men
at Clear Lake are anticipating the
largest ice harvest they have ever had.
Even in the largest rivers the water
has been practically stagnant for
number OF months and this is driving
the larger consumers to the lakes for
their supply.

NILWA UEEE, Dec. 25.-Frankfur-
ter and wiaaerwursts yesterday after
noon coupled with the presence of
mind af the rroprietor saved the day
for ta.a Hotel Schwobthaler, 1720 East
Chio, street North Side, when the hos
leI7y was m AIDED by a mad dog. That
ii 8auic followed the entry of the un-
hi3den eu. is putting it very mildly.
Frenzy would be a better word. All
the guest, particularly those at the
bar, made for the street at once. Only
the proprietor remained behind. Like
the captain of a doomed ship, he waited
bravely until all others had escaped
Only he and the mad dog remained on
the scene, The proprietor took one
glance at the dog and then he, too,
made for elsewhere.
After emptying the barroom the dog
wandered out into the back yard. The
scheme then was to keep hi mthere until
a policeman could arrive and do his
duty. And so-dropped from a second
story window at just the opportune
moment, the savory frankfurters and
wienerwursts were seized upon eagerly
by the frothing animal, distracting his
attention and reassuring the people OF
the neighborhood This, however did
not lessen the critical situation of the
proprietor of the hotel. He was ma
rooned on the second floor Of his build

AUTOMOBILE CLUBS SHOULD
WATCH ROAD EXPENDITURE

II every automobile club had q COM
petent committee on good roads, and
that committee was charged with the
duty of determining the best construc-
tion in road making in that particular
locality; the materials most suitable
and economical both for construction
and maintenance, and if that commit
tee did its work properly, and placed
the results fairly and squarely before
the club, in manner to impress each
and every member, would not much be
gained?
That committee could readily deter
mine whether crushed stone or gravel,
or other material would produce the
best results for the money; whether for
that particular locality a tar surface,
or an asphalt oil surface or an oiled
sand surface was most applicable;
whether the county or township en-
gineer was getting the best results for
= the expenditure; whether the construc-
tion was of permanent nature: and
all the various matters which make for
a more thorough knowledge of the sub
ject. Then the club by the force of it's
organization, could rectify whatever
wrongs were being committed, and
could take steps to see that the money
appropriated for the construction and
maintenance of the highways, should
bring it's full value in effectiveness.
Through it all it must be borne in
mind that the users of the road must
in great measure pay for it's improve
ment Modern traffic, as between
motor-driven and horse-drawn, will ul-
timately reach a dividing line in the
taxation for road maintenance. 1t will
be well, therefore, to '5'iden, to as great
an extent and at as early a date as
possible, the knowledge of the essential
principles of road Improvement.
That this is up to the automobile
clubs seems without question. The
clubs, working with farmers associa-
tions, commercial clubs, boards of
trade and other organizations, can per-
form a great work; can cause more
and better roads to be constructed, and
i'm a shorter space of time, than any
other force now known.
Everybody uses the road, and every
body should contribute to the expense
of it's construction and maintenance.
Automobiles have no desire, as a gen.
eral rule, to avoid paying their just
proportion of the expense. 1t must be
remembered license laws are being
made every year, in large number of
states, and that favorable legislation
nav materially advance the extension
of Improved highways. -

ARMY SURGEONS OPPOSE
NEW UNIFORM IN TROPICS
OIive-Drab Raiment Declared to
Be Injurious to
Health

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-After years
of experiments, having evolved in the
olive-drab uniform what appeared the
ideal raiment for troops in all climates
but especially in the tropics, the army
uuartermasters are now confronted
with a report made to the surgeon
general by the army board for the
study of tropical diseases, showing thal
the fabric is not a good one for use in
time of peace.
1t is true that the olive-drab is more
nearly invisible than any other color;
that it stands better the bleaching et-
fects of the tropical sun and that II
is more agreeable than the khaki Whlch
it replaced.
But the army surgeons, after expert
ments in the Philippines, say that the
khaki is much cooler, although not
nearly so cool as white drilling owner
is not suitable for garrison use). ANY
of the four changes to be made in the
uniform, the surgeons says, should bf
in the direction of a lighter shade
rather than a darker one.

ing-the more so because his gun was
unloaded-and the dog was bowling
seriously between gulps of sausages
just outside. The proprietor had car
ried the "hot dogs" from the barroom
in q basket. The dog caught the first
sausage on the bounce. 1t tasted good
and he leaped playfully into the air.
He managed to catch the second sau-
sage before it touched the ground. A
third he had and a fourth and then
they were dropping about him like
rain.
When Policeman Alfred Ribs arrived
on the scene he found the whole neigh
borhood scared. He was warned that
the situation was desperate.
Officer Ribs, prowling through the
downstairs, followed by the frightened
employees, found a baricade OF chairs
against the inside entrance doors.
These had been piled up after the ami
NAL had run out.
Ribs pulled away the barricade, de-
spite the warnings of his assistants
and peeped through the storm doors,
gun in hand finger on trigger. For
an instant he had bead on the ami
mails head. There was a shot and the
dog was writhins on the ground on ms
back.
All this, however, does not pay for
about a dollars worth of high class
"hot dogs" that were wasted.

CAPONI PUTS IN
BUSY CHRISTMAS
BurIy Chicabo Scrapper Performs
Before Big Crowd of Fans
at Arcadia Headquarters

Tony Caponi, who is to meet jim
Flynn in twenty round bout at Yer
non a week from tomorrow afternoon,
did just as much work Christmas day
as on any Of the preceding days. Co
ing on the road in the early part of the
morning and in the afternoon appear
ing before a big gathering OF suDuf-
baniteS at Arcadia and doing all or
his regular training stunts, the Chlcago
scrapper wound up with four not
rounds with the mitts, Morie Bloom
acting as sparring partner.
Caponi has taken off five pounds
since he arrived in Los Angeles, and
in spite of his wish to appear as heavy
as possible when he enters the ring, he
does not believe he will move the beam
when placed at the 165 mark.
Jim Flynn, after a morning run
through the environs of Vernon, did
little in the way of training, five min
utes with the bag in the ring at Doyle's
and a little handball Sufficing for the
day. Jim has had trouble in keeping
sparring aides on account of the rough
style he adopts while in the ring, and
the dearth yesterday made him cut out
the glove work. Flynn declares he is
in splendid shape and he hopes to prove
to the doubling ones that the lacing
received from the hands of Sam Lang
ford had no lasting effect.
Young Rivers, who will meet Billy
Cappelle In the semi-windup on the
afternoon of the Flynn-Caponi contest,
worked out at Doyle's yesterday, ppt-
ting in an hour and boxing five rounds
with Eddie Russell. Cappelle at San
Pedro boxed six rounds with Kid Arcy
and appeared to be in great condition
after his hours work inythe ring. Cap
pelle believes this is the golden oppor-
tunity he has been looking for, as he
ever since they last met over the ten
round course. Billy thinks the fifteen
session contest will be. to his advan-
tage and that he will Jbe able to do his
best work after the major part of the
rounds has passed.
