Now For Good Roads.

1t was shown last year that good
roads are a possibility in Iowa dur
ing the greater part of the out door
season. The new road law, if car
ried out faithfully, ought to make all
the roads of the state at least 100
per cent better than they have ever
been before, and that too, with the
expenditure of comparatively small
amount of work and money.
Under the new law each township
is to be divided into road dragging
districts, each one mile in length. A
superintendent of dragging is to be
appointed who shall let contracts for
dragging, no contract to exceed six
miles. The charge is not to exceed
so cents per mile. A tax of one mill
on all property in the township is
to be levied by the township trustees
for the purpose of raising the neces-
sary fund.
The city council is made respon-
sible for the dragging of all main
travelled roads within the corpora
ton. 1t is stipulated that all the
rural routes and the main travelled
roads shall not be neglected. They
are to be dragged regularly.
This law, if faithfully carried out,
should give Iowa first class reputa-
ton in the matter of good roads.
Several years ago it was conclusively
demonstrated that proper dragging
of the Iowa roads would result in a
wonderful improvement. Demonstra-
tons since that time have empha-
sized again and again the value of
the drag when properly and con-
tinuously used.-Cedar Rapids Re-

End of the Postal Deficit.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
announced that the department over
which he presides has at last placed
itself on a paying basis. The short
age of $17.60O,OOO of a few years
ago has been steadily diminished and
now it has virtually disappeared
Moreover, he says that the change
has been brought about, not by cur.
failing the activities of the postal
service, but by extending them. His
department does more and better
work now, so he declares, than il
ever did in the past.

Sheboygan, having large and lucra-
tive practice, and is very estimsble
gentleman. Miss Blanke is the sister
Of Mrs. Glen Jordan, Of this city, and
was winsome and lovely bride. This
wedding is the elimination of q
romantic friendship that ripened into
courtship and marriage. 1t began be-
meath Wisconsin skies, under the fervid
Texan heavens it grew in strength and
beauty and founc it's contamination in
the Vale OF Minnekshta under the
cerulan and cloudless heavens Of the
eternal Hills. It was the desire of DR..
and Mrs. Dean that they be married
with the same ceremony, In the same
parsonage and by the same clergyman
that solemnized the marriage Of Mr..
and Mrs. Jordan. Dean Jordon, the
four months old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jordon, was an interested and inter.
esting witness of his aunt's wedding
and was SO obliging as to sign the
marriage certificate as witness. DIR.

after the ceremony for Chicago for q
short wedding trip and are now at

The Action.

Circuit court convened at the court
house Monday to finish up number
Of cases which were laid over at the

the committee found in favor Of
Lathrop and the legislature character.
lzed the action of the Home officials as
"harsh, vindictive and not in keeping
with the spirit Of the institution and
recommended that he be re.instated
which so far has not been done tho
Lathrop has applied under the action
Of the legislature for Reinstatement
This action was then pending. The
case was tried this week before jury

inch Of the ground being fought to q
frazzel, 8. E. Wilson and w. II. Wilson
appearing for the plaintiff and East
man & Dudley, of this city, and

questions We fought out that were pre-
sehted in the famous case Of VIM

commandant of the Home and which
we're passed upon by the supreme court
In favor Of Black. The jury after de
liberating from ten O'Clock at night
until four O'Clock in the morning

Fire Prevention Day.

B. P. Sullivan, fire marshal of Lou
isiaEa, has issued the following open
letter to the citizens of the state:
ct is a time-honored and beautiful
custom of the American people to eel
citrate in fitting manner the an
niversary of memorable events in
their history to incuaafate patriotism,
to instil civic Righteousness, and to
teach lessons of citizenship.
''In harmony with THY practice
and in appreciation of Sthe inestl-
mable good resulting frVn such cele-
brations, the National t9re Marshal S
Association has designNted Monday,
October 9, the annivA rsary of the
great Chicago fire, as fire preven-
ton day to bring home to the peo-
pie CT tie country the dircful calam-
tiles Of such dread disasters and to
urge careful cooperation with the
fire prevention authorities in minimlZ-
ing the possibilities Of fire.
''The press is, therefore, invoked
to direct the attention Of the people
of the state to the date fixed, and
to appeal to them to celebrate the
day by general cleaning up Of all
debris, trash, waste paper, chimneys,
heating apparatus, etc, upon their
premises, thereby. reducing fire
hazard.
Teachers, private, public and pa
rochial, may perform highly valu-
able public service by urging their
charges through short talks to reco5-
nize the day and celebrate it IN a
manner prescribed by the National
Fire Marshal's Association in their
laudable and energetic efforts to-
wards fire prevention. Let us cele-
brate the day, reduce fire risks, and
thus help ourselves as well as our
communities.
