CHURCH LIKES
TO ADVERTISE.
EAGLE GROVE CHURCH SAYS
MEMBERSHIP AND RECEIPTS
INCREASE.

Eagle Grove, Sept. 29.-The Metho-
dist church here has just concluded =
seven months campaign of advertis-
ing that has been most novel and
which has made abundantly good in
a financial way.
A mans society in the church
evolved and carried out the plan
in most systematic way. 1t was
figured out by the amount Of
money ordinarily contributed just
what the collection ordinarily
might be expected to amount to dur
ing the seven months period Of adj
vertising. The success Of the advertis-
ing plan was to be judged by the
amount of increase in collections due
to increased attendance on account Of
the advertising.
One of the local papers was se-
lected and display space bought run
ming across the front page. The adj
vertising space was used for the pur-
pose of announcing the subjects to be
spoken on by the pastor. The matter
was prepared in unique and attrac-
tive way, SO that the advertisement
made genuine appeal for increased
attendance. Results came from the
very first. The church was filled. The
minister made good the promise of the
ads and collections picked up at once.
The net results have greatly exceeded
anything the pastor and the mems SO
ciety had expected. The increase in
collections has paid the advertising
bill and left the society neat sum
in it's treasury. But more than this,
the church has gained in the interest
taken by the people in its announce
ments and in it's services. It Is an
nounced that collections have been al
most doubled and that the attendance
has increased in the same ratio. Rev.
Chapter is pastor of the Eagle Grove
church and J. j. Brown and l.. N. Ar.
cherd have acted as his advertising
committee.

Wednesday afternoon the problem was
solved and about fifty students will
continue the high road to learning.
The trouble all began last week,
when the freshmen, following their
first class meeting, visited the campus
and adjacent portions of the town with
paint brushes and gold and blue paint
and smeared everything with 1914"
practically nothing on the entire cam
pus being exempt. The college imme.
diately employed professional painters
to obliterate the work Of the over-en-
thusiastic freshies, and presented bill
of $50 to the erring ones, with the
statement that the account must be
settled by yesterday afternoon at $50
o'clock or the freshmen might pack
their trunks and buy railroad tickets
home. BY the hour named the last
freshman pocketed receipt for his
share from the presidents secretary.
The faculty stipulated that the fresh
les shall be deprived of the privilege
of "cuts'' from classes for the entire
year, while usually eight are allowed
during the year without penalty.

Iowa's Dragged Roads Are Non
GiYen Attention in Washington

Washington, D. G., Sept. 2s.-(Spec-
ial Correspondence.)-As direct re-
suit Of the public sentiment which has
been aroused by the national good
roads convention, there has been
formed in many states In the middle
west organizations to carry on the
work of highway Improvement. In
several states this sentiment has crys-
tallized into the construction of def
mite projects. In the state of Iowa, the
highway extending for hundreds of
miles which was temporarily built or
repaired for the Glidden tour, has at
tracted so much interest that associa-
lions have been formed to bring about
the construction of permanent high
way, which shall be of standard width
and cross section, and on which there
shall be a minimum grade. All sharp
turns will be eliminated, and, 1t is
proposed, as rapidly as money becomes
available, to construct permanent
resilient and dustless road surface Of
the most approved bituminous road
surface, which shall consist Of level
gravel deposits as matrix instead OF
stone.
In Missouri similar movement Is
under way for the construction of
trunk line Of highway from the city
of st. Louis to Kansas City. 1t has
been suggested that the cost OF the
construction Of such main artery of
travel could be borne entirely from
revenue derived from the granting OF
a franchise to trolley company con.
Meeting these two most important
cities by electric car lines. OF course,
the cross section Of such highway
would doubtless be 200 feet in width,
with trolley line on either side, which
would be obscured somewhat by rea-

Delaware Board Of Supervisors Char
table Institutions, According to
Supreme Court.

Manchester. Sept. 29.-The Iowa su.
preme court has ruled that the Della.
ware county supervisors, through
unique tangle in litigation, involving
the collateral Inheritance tax law,
form a charitable institution.
After Mrs. Grace r. Spangler died
on Feb. 3, 1906, a bequest was left to
the dependent poor of this county in
the way of farm, which was ap.
praised at $4,000. Mrs. Spangler's will
however, named the county board OF
supervisors as trustees-the income OF
the tract annually reverting to the in,
mates at the county homeland pro-
yided that, on March 1S of each year,
the dependents, with their invited
guests for the day, might be served
big dinner. The menus of the "Spang.
Ter feasts,' as they are called, have al,
ways been deliberately planned courses
of in and out of season delectables.
The affairs have also been featured by
the attendance of many guests well
known in the professional or business
circles of the county, by addresses,
readings and musical numbers round
ing out the one-day-in-the-year pro.
gram of entertainment.
At the death of Harry Spangler,
Mrs. Spangler's husband, title to the
farm was not left to the beneficiaries,
but the income only was to revert to
the dependents. The state made an eff
fort to collect the inheritance tax. The
farm had in the meantime been given
second appraisement, which cut the
first valuation in two, or placed the
land at figure of $4,000. The state
was awarded 5000, but the state treas
urer took exception to the second val
uation and the executor appealed from
the payment Of the 5000 levy.
The supreme court has affirmed the
states contention insofar as the $4,000
appraisement was involved, but has
cut the state out of levying the 5000
tax

Paws Fine: Loses Jewels.

Iowa City, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Hiram r.
Lyons of Minneapolis, formerly Miss
Pauline Wentz of Iowa City, has been
fined $4,000 by the United States gov
eminent in addition to having jewels
to the value of $3.50 confiscated for
failure to declare the gems for the pay
ment of duty upon them, according to
report which has reached Iowa City.
The concealment, so it is declared,
was made by the husband of the lady,
Hiram r. Lyons of Minneapolis, on
their return from Europe recently,
but the jewels were for his wife, and
that is why, perhaps, her name was
included in the scandal. Two pearl
necklaces and a diamond brooch are
named as the Jewels conflscated.
