San Jose, Cal. has all the natural

Pasadena has increased 21,lT4 in that

AvIATORS IN TROUBLE
The Bunch Of International Aviaters
That So Systematically Grated
Atlantic In Trouble In Indiana

Marion, Ind, June 2s-Rene Simon,
Rene Barrier, Captain Frisbie aud the
entire outfit and managers of the In
ternational Aviators Company landed
in the county jail here last night and
are still there in default of bonds.
They are alleged to have failed to keep
their contract and to have secured q
guarantee fund by promises and agree.
ments which they made no offer to
fulfill. Despite the efforts of the COM
mittee here to make them at least try
to fly, they offered excuses and refused
to do it.
The above special will be of big in
terest in Atlantic as this is the same
bunch which victimized this city,
carrying off the guarantee fund and
making very small effort to carry out
the terms ofthe contract. The pro-
gress of the case against the outfit
will be watched with interest -Atlan-

NEW AUTO LAW
We Must Respect This New Law. It's
Made For Our Convenience and
To Fully Protect and AppeaSe.

The new Auto Law went into effect
July 4th. There are $4,000 motor ve-
hicles and 1000 dealers in all Iowa.
All these machines not out of use or
sold outof the state must be registered.
The annual fees under the new law
are as follows: For motor cycles So 90;
for an automobile with steam or cleo
trio power sl5. 90; an automobile with
gas engine of 20 horse power $S 90 and
40 cents for each additional horse
power above 20.
To determine the horse power take
the diameter of the cylinder to the en-
gine, multiply it by itself, then by
the number of cylinders, then divide
by 2. Motors that have been in use
for four years or more are entitled to
registration at half price.
No one has any rignt to operate a
machine under Dealers number ex-
cept the dealer himself or his employ
ees, not for single day.

ROAD MAKING
Must Be Taught To Make A Man Pro-
ficient In Building Same. Piling
Sod In Center Is Erroneous.

Recently we travelled over fine
stretch of new road being worked up
by eight horses, three men and q
grader. The work they did was beau
tiful and almost perfect to the eye but
upon careful examination it revealed
the fact that the center was simply
sod that was worked up from the sides,
which of itself spoils the entire road
bed. Sod should never be utilized in
road making.
1t is filling to be sure, but from the
time the roots of sod is cut off, till a
perfect disintegration is reached, sod
is soft spongy mass of decaying We
getation and when soaked full of wa
ter in the center of nicely graded
road produces soft center. The wa
ter oozing therefrom softeus the sides
to such an extent that the wheels of
vehicles cut deep into the mud.

A Paper With Brains Behind It. A

The Wiota Record, bright lit
tie paper, edited and published by
r. j. Cornell came to our table last
week. The paper is five columns,
eight pages and is g full OF spice

The business men of Wiota
should be proud of the effort on the
part of Mr.. Cornell and patron nize
the paper quite literally.

in favor of the town costs the edi-
tor, time to write the copy, expense
to sat it in type, ink to print it in,
paper to spread it on, mailing the

most of us) an outlay of muscle to

SAFE AND SANE
The Celebration For The Fourth Pas.
sed Off Pleasantly Here. The
F0rty-Sixth Time In
Succession.

The safe and sane fourth struck us
this year amidships. For the 46th time
in succession this city did honor to the
occasion and still it was the first on e
that the boys were not allowed to shoot
fire crackers inside city limits on that
day. Mayor Rendleman had cards of
warming" printed in large type and
hung in many places about the town
telling the boys that it was considered
dangerous on account of the dry wea-
ther to shoot fire crackers, and they
needed warning like little men and we
venture the assertion that not crack
er was shot by any boy who had in.
formed himself on the languages on
that card.
Everything passed off quietly, the
cannon's mouth excepted, which Cap.

up" in ushering in the day and in not.
ing its departure. The attractions and
the Marathon" races, which interested
the boys for instance and the fat mon
in particular. Some of the later (of
which we have large class) made new
records this year. Mr.. Barnholdt who
has been champion 80 long gave way
to superior ability and came in third.
This was humiliating to Herman and
will inspire the vsnquished with a
spirit of rivalry that will probably be
tried out on Old Settlers Day, which
will perhaps be sometime in August

things, Ice cream and lemonade
were the luxuries that were greatly
in demand.
On account of the drouth the fire.

Wherever a spark came in contact
with the grass fire started and
many large patches were burnt.

LOOIING ALASKA
will Stop. Important Decision Will
Effect Every American Citizen.
Alaska Is Ours At Last

By the recent decision of the De.
partment of the Interior, the much
prosecuted Clifford, Plnchot and Gla.
Wis are vindicated.
They contended the Cunningham
claims to the great coal fields of Alas
ka we're not valid, that fraud and col
lusioni we're practiced in obtaining
them. They put strong fight against
q powerful corporation which was
backed up by the administration.
The looting of Alaska is now hal
ted because of this decision. The peo.
pie have spoken. Pinchot aud CLAWS
were right. The Congressional Com.
mittee were not right in deciding
against the nation's trusted servants.
It's now for Congress to settle this
question for all time.

HANK IS INGENIOUS
Henry McNeeley Builds an Immense
Fly Trap. Furnishes Interesting
Statistics

Henry McNeeley, the South Side
Restaurant man, has constructed a
fly trap about three feet high and
in one afternoon caught (by esti-
mation) 3,250O00 flee. Now for sta
tistice: Each healthy fly land they
are all healthy raises progeny of
250 young at time, and six families
in season; thus making 1900 from
one fly. Each fly has six legs; each
leg travels over filth every day and
gathers at least 1000 microbes per
leg, or 1900 per fly. Now, let's see
what good Henry has done in a half
day: 3,250,OO0 times 1,5OO makes
4,S75, 100000 flies; multiply this by
$1,000 makes Hank" the benefactor
to mankind by the determination of
$500, 000,0O00OO microbes-but hold
on, we are getting dizzy.

are welcome.
