teresting to the people. At two p. m.
each day unique custom prevails
and at the ringing of the bell each
person on the grounds fall to their
knees wherever they happen to be
and they offer silent prayer for two
minutes. This is in keeping with an
old Biblical custom which prevailed
during their feast days and was after
ward made use of to some extent by
the Jewish people.
At the afternoon service Rev. w.
II. Huff preached a very able sermon
on the subject of The Prophets Wis
ion," from Isaiah, 6; and the latter
part of the 9Th verse, For Mine Eyes
have seen the King, the Lord Of
Hosts" This was one of the strong
discourses that has been delivered
so far during the camp meeting. At
times the people were held almost
spell bound at the speakers eloquent
descriptive powers, and again they
would be almost carried away with
enthusiastic shouts of approval and
delight. At the close of the sermon
a large number of seekers came for
ward and took part in the after ser
vice. At ZOO p. m. two grove meet
ings were held in separate parts of
the grounds, one led by Miss Carruth-
ers, of Guthrie Center, near the music
hall, and the other led by Miss Marie
Danielson, near the tabernacle, both
being we'll attended and full of Chris
tia fervor. In spite of the heated
day the attendance was large, many
coming out from the city and all were
interested and thoughtful listeners.
In all of the services there was a
peaceful and yet jiyful reverence,
which was both fitting and appro'
pirate for the Sabbath day. The spir-
it of true worship seemed to prevail
and all the people were helped and en-
couraged.
At the public service in the evening
it was considerably cooler and the
camp enjoyed the change. After the
usual praise service Rev. and Mrs.
Harris sang as a duet In the Old
Time Way" and the singing created
wave of enthusiasm anon gthe peo-
pie which was hearty and sincere
The sermon of the evening was dellV-
cred by Rev. C. w. Ruth, of Indian
apolis, Ind, and he chose as his sub
iect, THE Way oil Holiness" and used
Isaiah 35 $40 as the text. The dis.
course was a vigorous exposition or
the teachings of the Bible and was
given close attention. At times he
would be interrupted by shouts and
EXPLANATIONS of approval and at the
close quite a large number came for
ward for the after service. The num-
Der of seekers during the day proba-
bly, reached twenty-five or thirty and
this will bring the total up to some
thing over fifty. The meetings will
last all of this present week and will
probably close next Sunday night, al
ter the conclusion of the evening ser
vice. A full week of active work is
expected and large results ale PIE
dicted. Tuesday is university Day
and special services will be in order
for the day.

MUST MAKE ROAD LEVY
If They Don't Attorney General
Will Proceed Against Trustees.

Attorney General Cosson has noti-
fed all the county attorneys of Iowa
that if any road trustees refuse to
make tax levy this year for dragging
the roads, mandamus proceedings are
to be commenced to enforce the levy.
The purpose of these proceedings is
to have the courts determine whether
or not it is mandatory for the trus-
tees to levy the tax this year under
the provisions of the Cunningham
road drag law passed by the last leg
islature.
If the courts decide that it is man
datory to make the levy this year,
then the full law enforcing power of
the state will be eXerted to compel
the levy. If the courts decide other
wise then there can be no levy for
road dragging until April, 1913.
In his letter to County Attorney j..
G. Paterson he says in part:
The duty of enforcing this law is
placed upon the township trustees
and county supervisors. The law is
"andator1 in its nature, and the work
rs r%nr,~aiy mead" - nHrt Of the ruad
aNl ut jra trustees and the Supergi9-
Urs. They are authorized to eApend
road funds, and il is also made the
duty OF the county supervisors to call
a meeting of township trustees and
road supervisors between November
and April of each year to consider the
best methods of road work and weed
destruction. A failure to comply with
the provisions of said act is misde-
meanor.
While the law places the duty on
the trustees, road superintendent
and members of the board of supervis-
Ors, the duty of seeing that these
several officers are properly advised
as to their duties, and that they are
in good faith perform such duties, de-
wolves upon the several county attor-
neys of the state and the attorney
general, and hence in the matter of
enforcing these laws | will be glad to
cooperate with you and with the sew
eral officers who have the work in
charge to the end that failure to Sc
cure good roads in this state Will not
be due to a lack of enforcement Of
the statutes of the state"
He also sends them a copy of Spec
ial Counsel Lees opinion on the law
and printed synopsis of the law. The
opinion in brief held that it is the duty
of the township trustees to make the
levy this year; that they must divide
their township into permanent road
dragging districts this year; that the
trustees have authority, aside from
the new law, to make drag levy;
that the one mill levy provided by the
law is an addition to the maximum
permitted under the code; that trus-
tees may not accept positions as drag
superintendent; that the law in all
provisions took effect April s, 1911,
and repealed all other conflicting laws
