Intimate friend from New York first spoke Of the orders merits and, like a shrewd business men, he was quick to interest acquaintances in the fraterna, organization that is destined to belt the globe. As is we'll know MT Krause bears the honors of past die tator. It is true that for a time Mr. krause was somewhat lonesome graz ing all by himself, but now that a large herd is being corralled he be- gins feel as lively and frisky as a two-year-old.

 The social and fraternal features are exceptionally strong and uplifting alike to members, their families and sweethearts. Good cheer is a Moose motto, and honor its safeguard.
 The Loyal Order of Moose is not a class organization, but open to all good white male citizens-profession bus mess and working men.
 The Moose is alive. It offers $5, 900 for the best drill team, and $2,O00 for the best athletic stunt at the 23rd an- nual convention to be held in Detrolt, Mich., next August.
 The Moose to date has over 500 lodges. It has gained since August 1 nearly 250 lodges, and they have an average membership of 500. Is it any wonder that men want to join this great brotherhood that aids you in sickness or distress, sees that you are buried when you die and gives you free medical attention when you need it, and all for 21z cents per day?
 The benefits are $7 per week, sick ness or accident, $10O funeral. and free medical attention for members and families.

 Tonight of Spery's Wharfage Camel

When the closing event can in a week when there is the first aviation meet ever held in the city, a big cir GUS and have the opposing manager of the other theatre give out signed statement to the press that you were not going to give the public what had been advertised; when the clos ing can in the face of such opposi- tion hold its own, it shows that the Sperry's closing offerings no matter what the opposition may be. Last ev- ening the big playhouse rang with applause given Jultet?, Ralph Kellard, Miss Steinbach, Miss Mason and the entire cast of favorites. Tonight Juliet? will add an imitation of Maude Adams in What Every Woman Knows" Also Madame Nazimova and Ethel Barrymore. Juliet? opens at Hammerstein's Monday and will play all the big cities, so if you have not availed yourself of the opportunity of witnessing Juliets marvellous im- presentations, tonight will be your last Ralph Kellard, who leaves to head the leading stock company in Syracuse
 will long be remembered by the local theatregoers as the best leading man Sperry has yet presented. Miss Stein- bach's success in 'The Marriage Game' has been the talk of all who have witnessed the production. Miss Mason's singing has been one of the hits of the closing this year and nev- CT before has such applause been giv- en any local singer. Charles R. Jew cit, Charles B. Peck, Bernard Brill, Thomas F. Driscoll, Lee Lounds, Miss Clara Brill. Miss Lydia Elred, Miss Marian Storms and Miss Daisie Ju- chau have not only acquitted them- selves with honors but have all shown marked improvement over their pre- vious work. Remember tonight is the closing night of the biggest closing production ever given, and when the curtain falls tonight at 10:45. it can be truthfully said that the engage ment of Robert M. Sperry's fourteenth closing has been a success in every sense of the word. It is the best play, the best cast and the most ela- borate scenic effects vet presented in any of the annual events

Oes Molnes. June 3.-The letter to
county attorneys from the Iowa de-
partment OF justice regarding the road
drag and weed destruction will stir m
the county and township officials to
action SO that there will be no cessa-
ton in the matter of having Iowa roads
cared for this year or having the weeds
destroyed. The matter Of enforcement
OF the weed law has been neglected in
the past to some extent and in some
places Attorney General Cossou calls
attention TO the fact that the law is
mandatory in nature, and the work is
expressly made part OF the road work
OF the trustees and supervisors, that
they are authorized to eXpend road
FUNDS. and it is made the duty of the
supervisors to call meeting of town
ship trustees and road supervisors
each year TO consider the best methods
of road work and weed destruction. A
failure to comply with this law is
misdemeanor. Regarding the duty OF
the law officials Mr. Cosson says:
While the law places the duty on
lHc u uSieeS, IOdC SuperiIteNCentS ana
members OF the boards of supervisors,
the duty of seeing that these several
officers are properly advised as to their
duties and that they in good faith per-
form such duties, llevuives upon The
several county attorneys of the state
and the attorney general, and hence in
the matter Of enforcing these laws, I
will be glad to cooperate with you and
with the several officers who have the
work in charge to the end that fall
ure 10 secure good roads in this state
will not be due to a lack Of enforce
nent Of the statutes OF the state In
other words it is my desire that if
Iowa fails to secure good roads that the
fault IS not with the law enforcing
officials or the failure to enforce the
law. but with the legislature in not
providing proper funds and methods Of
road construction"
This is the month that much of the
work should be done and especially
that all preparations should be made
for the entire seasons work on the
troads and in killing weeds.
