Another Weed Day In Iowa

Another Weed Day In Iowa
Iowa is to have another
wholesale weed ntting Gay un-
der the plan inavgurated last
month by the sat es,hlghway
commission ers. Saturday, June
%, was designate d 10y the e. M
missioners, and The response
was so general all over the state
that the designation Of another
day has been. dec d. d upon. In
a circular sent broadcast yes
terday Tus sdav, July Is, has
been selected, and every farm
er is requested TO dsmolish the
weeds that have grown up in
the highways surrounding his
land.
The new state anti weed law
becomes effective on that date,
when fac as high as $500
may be imposed upon road sup
ervisors and towns hip !rustt es
who neglect to have the weeds
cut in the territory under their
jurisdiction. Many of the
trustees have resigned rather
than incur the risk Of the pun
ishment, and this has alarmed
the good roads advocates
throughout the state, who have
appealed to the highway COM
mission for assistance.
Weeds have grown with UNI
usual vigor this summer and in
many places raj * grcu'ls ten
feet high obscure the highway $
This adds very greatly t. the
dangers of automobile acc dents
where there are sharp turns in
the roads.

Curb and Gutter Bids.

The various bids on the two
miles of curb and gutter to be
put in this summer by the city,
we're opened last night and it
was found that H. j. Cathree
of Omaha was the lowest bidder
His bid was 81 06 per foot for a
6 inch curb, Z inch gutter, three
feet wide. Where curbing only
is used, it will cost 43 cents per
square foot. All gutter at al
legs and street crossings will
be paid by the city. All of the
construction is to be of the best
material and all of it to be of
the heaviest so that its lasting
qualities will be a life time.
The council has not let the bid
but will do so Wednesday night
after they have made a thor
ough investigation of all con-
ditions. All property owners
may pay their curb and gutter
assessments within thirty days
after the publication of the
assessment notice, but after
that their assessment will draw
interest at the rate of 6 per
cent.
1t is planned to have all of
the work completed by October
LIST if possible and all of the
con. ractors said that they could
complete the work within that
thine. There were six bidders
present last evening.

ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
Nothing Better Than Pedestrian Ex-
ercIse, Especially to Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.

Some of the most noted OF the old
men of New York, successful in bust
ness. the professions and public af-
fairs. have formed a walking club for
the purpose Of making their pursuit
Of still greater length of days and still
better health as agreeable as 1t is
sensible. They intend to take long
walks together and, no doubt, to make
their pedestrian experiences the sub
ject of entertaining discussion and
store of memories held I'm common.
This is an example which might well
be followed in every city of the United
States. In the era of motor vehicles
there is danger that walking will be
increasingly neglected. especially by
men and women advanced in years,
who often need 1t most. There ia a
constant temptation to forget that rid

many ways. can never do for the body
what walking does.

London letter remarks. 'just a little
bit awkward that the electric light
went out the other evening at the
town house of presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal OF political entertaining. The
guests. to the number OF dozen. had
just finished their soup when the un-
fortunate incident occurred The
scramble to find sufficient number
of candles so that the dinner might
proceed was attended with great
deal Of difficulty and no little amuse-
ment. The butler, who is described
as being bit new to his job. was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company. report the catastro-
phe and demand attention to the mat
ter. II was trying moment for the
guests when he returned to the din
ing room and announced In real Cock
ney accent: Please. my lady, the
gentleman what's on tho telephone
says they sent several warning letters
unless the account was paid active
steps would have to be taken.'"

the curb, hat in hand. and noting with
interest the reversed arms. the nag
draped coffin, and the riderless horse
behind some one touched him on the
elbow and said: Il hope you'll ex-
