a. Parsons. secretary Of the

Commissioner Barney's new law
to stop the selling OF bad eggs is
ready for presentation and it will be
fathered by Senator Balkema The
bill is one framed up at a meeting
held some time ago in Kansas City
with a view to securing concerted
action in several western states. 1t
will, in effect, require every dealer
to candle the eggs he buys and reject
the spot or bad ones. By making this
compulsory the dealer is relieved of
the embarrassment involved when he
insists on critically examining the
eggs brought in from the country.

Although everybody realizes the
necessity of good roads, said U. G.
Whitney Of Sioux City, "you will fine
that there will be powerful lobby a,
the present legislature that will try te
prevent the passage of good roads
bill. They will say that their motives
are economv but if you investigate
you will find that they are sometime
else far different. The truth of the
matter is that for our miserable roads
the state of Iowa pays out more thar
s6.0c0.e00 annually. and we can see
little or no results. The strength ant
forefront of the opposition is the
bridge companies. They say that they
want the law to stay just as it is. Dc
you know how the law is today on the
subject OF bridge building? I'll tel
you. There is no law. The county
board Of supervisors can let the bridge
contract to any one they choose. AS {
result the work generally costs from
/ so to 100 per cent more than it should
You will meet opposition trying to ge
good roads. but when you do. just SEE
I where 1t comes from"
