WELL KNOWN LADY PASSES.
Mrs. Horace $. Smith of Canoe
Township Answers Final
Summons.

Mrs. Horace S. Smith, a highly
esteemed resident of canoe town
ship for a. good many years, passed
to her reward on Sunday, after an
extended illness, during which she
was given every possible care and
medical assistance, but without
avail.
Hattie May Brickner, born in De-
corah Feb. l, 1868, at the age of
three moved to Canoe township with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. /.
Brickner. Dec. 81, 1890 she was
united in marriage to Horace S.
Smith, and they lived in Bluffton
township for five years, then return
ing to the old Brickner place in
Canoe, which has since been their
home. Besides her husband, she is
survived by her mother, Mrs. H. l.
Brickner, an adopted son, four sis
tiers, Mrs. l.. V. McCraney of La
Crosse, Wis, Mrs. c. c. NARROW OF
Canoe township, Mrs. John Boucher
of Ridgeway, Mrs. F. A. Ruth OF
Canoe township, and four brothers,
John of Hay Springs, Neb., E. G. OF
st. Paul, S. e. of Calmar and c. r.
of Minneapolis.
The funeral services were held
from tha homo vactardav aftornoon
conducted by Rev. w. NJ. Lemen,
with interment in Russell cemetery.
During the long residence of this
good woman in this community she
has gained a wide circle of intimate
friendships. Everyone who knew her
esteemed her for her many admir-
able qualities, and there is universal
grief at her passing.

AUTO LICENSE LAW
Owners Must Pay Annual Tax After
July 4, 1911.
OVER $1,000 AUTOS IN STATE.
Prosperous Agricultural Community
Rich i'm Greatest Method of
Transportation Ever
Invented.

There has been much discussion
among automobile owners as to the
new registry law which goes into eff
feet during the coming summer. A
new system based upon the horse
power of the machines is TO be used
in collecting the licenses from the
owners of autos.
Iowa has about $4,000 machines
in use, and there are very few
states in the union which have many
more registered with the secretaries
of state. New York leads, with Cali
fornia and Illinois following in the
order named. Iowa ranks about Sth.
The new law goes into effect on
independence Day, July 4th, this
year. On that date all automobiles
and motorcycle owners must regis
ter and pay one-half of the yearly
tax, which pays all the taxes and fees
to January /, 1912. On January /,
1912 all autos and motorcycles must
again register this time paying for
the full yearly tax of 1912. If a car
is registered on June 30th of this
year, the owner registers under the
present law and pays the present
fee of five dollars, and is required
to register again on July 4th and
pay the same as the old owners of
machines.
When a car is purchased from a
dealer, the buyer is required to make
application to the Secretary of State
for registration, and when that has
been done he may run on the deal
ers' number for fifteen days, but no
longer, or, until he is assigned a
registration number. All electric
and steam cars are required to pay
yearly tax of fifteen dollars or
one-half that amount on the 4th OF
July.

Curtin Endorsed Again.

1t will be good news to our people
to learn that yesterday, at Sioux
City, in the extreme western part
of the state, the group meeting of
the Iowa Bankers Association en-
dorsed Mr.. E. j. Curtin of this city
for president of the Iowa Bankers
Association, which officer will be
elected at the coming state meeting.
The candidacy of Mr.. Curtin is meet
ing with such an enthusiastic recep-
tion throughout the state that there
now seems to be little doubt of his
election to this high Office. Already
four group meetings in different
parts of the state have endorsed his
candidacy, and it is expected that
others will do the same, and that
when the state meeting occurs, that
he will easily win, which everyone
here hopes will come true.

FREEPORT SAND ROAD.
A. L. HOltOn in Charge of Force of
Men Working Revolution i'm one
of the Worst Roads in
the County.

The road committee and the sec
rotary of the Commercial Club made
a trip this morning to the Freeport
sand road, where Mr.. A. T. Holton
of Glenwood township is in charge
of force of men, reconstructing the
road. He has made splendid pro-
gress, and already the great advan-
tage of this road when completed
is evident. The location has been
changed but little, though it will be-
placed on top of the ridge to the
south on the west end, and on the
side hill at the east end. The road
is being built along scientific lines,
and Mr.. Holton is proving to be the
right man in the right place. We
believe that it will be one of the
best investments ever made by the
business men of DEBORAH and the
farmers east of town. And when
the road between here and Freeport
is put in proper shape, the drive in
that direction will be a constant
pleasure.

NO DELAY IN DRAGGING
Attorney General Says IOwa's New
Law Must be
Obeyed.
LEVY ONE MILL TOWNSHIP TAN
Township Clerks Should Call Meet
i'm of Trustees at Once anG
Arrange to Obey
Law.

Road dragging work commences
in Iowa Immediately. Those who
were counting on having one year OF
nothing doing because they thought
they had discovered a conflict in the
law will be disappointed.
Attorney General Cosson, in a
carefully prepared decision, decides
that there is to be no cessation in
the road dragging work for Iowa
This in answer to a series of inQuir-
les put to him by county officials ov-
er the state. He decides that:
The l mill township road drag
ging tax must be levied this year
and be available for use in 1912.
The township trustees ought to
district the townships at once in re-
gard to road dragging.
Read dragging superintendent
should be appointed now and be got
to work Immediately.
The pay for road dragging this
year should come out of the regular
road funds the same as in the past
few years.
A township trustee cannot hold
the Office of supervisor or road drag
ging, but one may be a road drag
ging supervisor and superintendent
of dragging at the same time.
The township clerks ought to
call meetings of the township trus-
tees at once to have / mill tax levy
made for use next year.
The legislature plainly intended
that there should be no hiatus in
the road dragging business and the
fact that it was provided in the law
that the trustees should at theil
April meeting levy the special road
dragging tax, and the law did not
go into effect until five days after
that time, will not affect the law
The bill made provision for a specia
meeting to levy the tax and this car
be done now. AS for paying for the
road dragging this year it can be
done just as in the past and before
any special l mill levy was thought
of, for road dragging is general roat
and repair work and can be paid fol
out of the regular funds for roat
working. In short it was. theo in
tent of the legislature to have this
work go right along and fair in
depreciation of the new road drag
ging law will make this plain.

Anne Wilbur walked to the window
Tall graceful and very lovely, her
slender form was silhouetted against
the light. There was no one to ad-
mire Anne save the little brown eyed
secretary across the room, and she
looked and adored with all her foolish
heart She thought it must be glorious
to be young and rich and lovely and
quite her own mistress, as was the
case with her employer, but then the
little secretary thought OF her own
large family OF brothers and sisters
and was Immediately very thankful
that she was not as lonely as Anne
Wilbur, who lived in the stately house
with a cold and sriff guardian aunt.
Miss Wilbur looked out at the sun
shine and the deep grassy yard behind
the dwelling, with It's careful grouping
of shrubs, its freshly raked brown
earth beds where prim rows of tulips.
daffodils and crocuSes Haunted their
gay dresses.
1t was merely city lot. yet money
and skill had combined to make 1t
pleasant retreat from the glaring
streets or the STIFFNESS of the house In
midsummer. Sometimes in the early
morning Anne walked along the grav-
eied paths, but 1t was used principally
by the servants in the big house, who
sought relaxation there after the days
work was done.
At the rear wall of the yard there
abutted another lot incIosing a shabby
cottage which was sadly in need of
fresh paint; the neglected yard sur

boxes TO the searching light of the
spring sunshine In all the yard there
was not one tuft Of green grass. not a
flower nor anything that was beauti-
ful-and yet it was spring.
Anne Wilbur owned this shabby cot
tage, and a succession of destructive
tenants had ravaged the place of dts
original coy prettiness. At last, de-
spairing OF maintaining IL in any sem
blance to respecta bility, she had or
dered It demolished, only to find that
her agent had unwittingly leased the
premises to a new tenant. The little
secretary had just read this news to
her from the agents letter, and Anne.
with an Indifferent shrug of her shape
~ shoulders, had walked to the win
dow that overlooked the cottage.
For moment there was vexation on
her face that her intention had gone
awry. The next dissatisfaction disap-
peared at q sudden remembrance. In
a week she was to be married. Her
iance lived In a distant city. She
would not be obliged to contemplate
from her rear windows the shabby
cottage, the tomato cans, the old
brooms.. bottomless coal scuttles and
broken crockery. 1t would be for
others to view this inartistic scene.
while she would look upon more invit-
ing objects
A moving van was backed up be-
fore the door OF the cottage, and in
Its cavernous depths Anne could see a
pitiful gathering of furniture The
men began to unload the van, and !
Anne noted that the few pieces,
though somewhat shabby and worn.
were Of handsome quality and in ex-
ceilent taste. She also saw thar the 1
