PLAN ACTIVE FIGHT
MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN GAIT,
SUFFRAGE LEADER, WILL AID
IN FALL CAMPAIGN.
BOONE SELECTED FOR STATE MEET
Association Believes That Outlines
Should be Made Soon for the Final
Fight Expected to Come During the
Political Struggle Of 1914.

Des Moines.-Mrs Carrie Chap
man Gait, formerly OF Iowa, who pre-
sided over the sessions of the inter
national womens suffrage meeting at
Budapest, Austria Hungary, recently
will come to Iowa this fall to cam
paign for the Bruce suffrage amend
ment. Mrs. Gait will spend several
weeks in a lecture tour OF the state.
The executive committee of the
Iowa Equal Suffrage association has
selected Boone as the convention
city, and the time of the meeting,
which will be in October, will be an
nounced within the next few weeks.
Mrs. Gait is expected to be present
during the convention. Some time ago
she promised the Iowa suffrage work
ers that she would come to their aid
at time when her services were
most needed. The suffrage associa-
ton believes that the fall campaign
will have an important bearing upon
the success of the cause, since an eff
fort is being made to defeat candi-
dates for the legislature who are be-
lieved to be unfriendly to suffrage.
The campaign will be begun early
SO that enough pressure may be
brought to bear to bring about the de-
feat of unfriendly candidates in the
1914 state primaries.
The Boone convention is expected
to be the best attended in the history
of the association. The clubs over
the state will be urged to send larger
delegations than formerly, since plans
for the primary work will be made
this fall.
Miss Flora Dunlap, head resident Of
the Roadside Settlement, will preside
over the sessions as president. A
state campaign manager will be
elected.
A cross state automobile tour is
being planned for August. This
event is expected to arouse interest
in the state convention to be held in
the fall. The route for the trip is
being mapped out by a special COM
mittee.

State Aid to Improve Lake.

Representative David Z. Kulp OF
PaLo Alto county headed delegation
of Emmetsburg citizens that called
on the executive council to get state
aid in improving Medium lake, which
is near Emmetsburg.
Medium lake Is five miles long and
from one-half to three-fourths of
mile wide. 1t is not deep enough to
protect game fish from the heat.
For several years we have been
dredging the lake to protect the fish
from smothering," Mr.. Kulp said.
1--WE have spent $4,000. Our funds
are about exhausted. We have asked
the council to divert some OF the
fish and game money for deepening
the lake at one end. Water twenty
feet deep will protect the fish.
"E. c. Hinshaw, state game warden,
has Endorsed the plan. Medium lake
is one Of the best in the state. 1t Is
well stocked with fish, but they can.
not live if the lake is not improved"
The game laws give the council the
right to order some of the license
money spent for improving lakes. At
torney General George Cosson told
Mr.. Kulp the council has authority
to spend a part of the fish and game
fund for the purpose asked.

Iowa Weeds Must Be Cut.


Property owners who have been de-
linQuent in cutting weeds will have
taste of Iowa's new weed law after
July 18th and until August 18th. Dur
ing this time township trustees or
city officials are required to have
cut all obnoxious weeds, not only
along the streets and highways, but
upon adjacent property. The new
weed law went into effect May, 1st. II
provides that all weeds must be cut
before their maturity regardless of
date and places responsibility upon
the officials of the county.
One provision of the law has not
been rigidly enforced this year be-
cause the act is new and not general
ly known. 1t requires clerks of the
townships to post in two conspicuous
places in each school district a no
tice calling attention to the new weed
law and list Of the weeds contained
therein. This should have been done
between May LIST and May 18th.
Road officials are held responsible
for reporting weeds to township trus-
tees or to town councils. On the
county road systems the county board
of supervisors and the county engin-
GERS are responsible. For non-enforce-
ment of the law fine not to exceed
500 is provided for.
Following is a list of obnoxious
weeds contained in the new measure:
Quack grass, Canada thistle. dock
lebur, wild mustard, sour or curled
dock, smooth dock, buckhorn or RIB
bed plaintain, wild parsnip, horse
nettle, velvet weed or button weed,
burdock, shoe fly. wild carrot. Russian
thistle.
