Keen the Weeds Out.

While May, June and July are con-
ceded by everyone to be the best
months of the year in which to
grade earth roads, it is often incon-
venient or impossible to get the work
all completed during that time, and
as a consequence in a great many
places grading is done later in the
year when there is a heavy sod and
a large amount of grass and vegeta-
BILE matter growing in the right Of
way, and this is dragged into the
middle of the road, where it holds
moisture and makes the road mushy
and bad during a large part of the
pear.
Where roads cannot be graded
during the late spring and summer.
they should be plcwed in June or
early July, turning the vegetation
under shallow layer of dirt SO that
the entire road bed that is to be
greded will be free from growing
grass and weeds during. the hot sum-
mer days. In this way the vegeta-
ton will largely disappear and the
road can be graded to good adyan-
tage late in the season.
The ten miles of road which took
first prize in the Mt. Ayr, Iowa, con-
test last year was treated this way
and graded in September. At the
time the prizes were awarded in
November, the road was in remark
ably fine condition, and notwith-
standing the fact that heavy rain
had fallen the day before, an auto
mobile could travel over the entire
ten miles at speed of thirty to for
ty miles an hour with perfect safety
because the road had dried out
quickly through having been kept
properly dragged.
II you cannot get your road grad
ed before the vegetation has made
its growth, try this plan and see IL
you do not get very satisfactory re-
sults.-The Road-Maker.

Five Physicians Work Over Him An
Hour After Recovery of
the Body Without
Avail

Ole Flatland, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kittle Flatland of Lincoln township,
this county, and second year pre-
paratory student at Luther College,
came to an untimely death by drown
ing at five O'Clock Thursday after
noon.
At the close of the days classes.
about four o'clock in the afternoon
he went swimming with several 9TH
er Luther College students, in the
bend Of the Upper Iowa just south
west of the college campus. There
is a very deep hole here, and it is
a favomte swimming place of the
college students. He was not able to
swim, and while walking in the riv-
er suddenly sunk into deep hole.
Another student, Ballestad by name.
was near by and when he came up
the second time grabbed him by the
hair and attempted to rescue him,
as the others came to assist, but he
finally had to get away from him to
save himself, which he did with diff
ficulty and the aid of the other stu
dents, almost exhausted.
He sank in about ten feet of water,
and Immediately word was sent to
the college and telephones for help
were sent out. A number Of large
dragging hooks were taken over by
auto from the city hall, boats, rakes.
and poles were secured, and about
twenty-five students searched the riv-
er for his body, which was finally To-
Gated, fifty minutes after he went
down. Immediately Drs. Stabo,
Thomas, Swezey, Woodward and
Barfoot went to work in an attempt
to resuscitate him, working faithful
ly and energetically for over an
hour, but without avail. ...
Two years ago this month, on
the 18th, occurred similar tragedy
which resulted in the drowning of a
Luther College student, a short dis
tance below this place in the river.
The festivities of the week adver-
tised at Luther College were all post
poned and the college has been in
mourning for this popular young
man, who lost his life just at the
Threshold of manhood.
The remains were taken overland
to his home in Madison township on
Friday evening, and the funeral SER
vices held from the Lincoln church
Saturday afternoon.

Miss Luna BigelOw, Washington, ID
O., Coming to Talk Moral and
Civic Better1ment OF Rural
Communities.

Miss Luna E. Bigelow, Washing
ton, d. c.. is coming to Iowa. bring
ing the latest and most novel phase
of the good roads propaganda. She
will be here this month.
Good roads talk goes right into the
schools now. Miss Bigelow has been
designated by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, to carry on
this work. She is open for engage
ments to address teachers Institutes
and school meetings and to present
to the people that phase of the good
roads movement which relates to the
moral and civic betterment Of the
rural communities, the social phases
Of life and makes for better citizen
ship because of better schools and
freer communication between the
people.
Miss Bigelow has the following
dates in Iowa now:
Garner, Hancock county, institute,
June 16.
Oskaloosa or Marshall county,
June II.
Charlton, Lucas county, June 1S.
! Jefferson, Greene county institute,
June 10.
Storm Lake, Buena Vista institute,

Shenandoah, Western Normal col
lege, June %.
Tabor. Tabor college, June "a.
She probably will also visit Cedar
Falls, Ames, Grinnell and some 9TH
er places.
She will go into other states as
well as Iowa and try out this newest
phase Of preaching the doctrine OF
good roads. Iowa was selected for
start because Of the recognition
that Iowa is going faster than almost
any other state in educational lines
and because her work is right in line
with the policy in school matters
that has been so we'll developed
here.

In Justice Court.

There have been some interesting
cases in Justice court here during
the past week. That of Ezra Reed VS..
c. T. Brode of Burr Oak in which the
plaintiff sought to have the defen-
dant placed under bonds to keep the
peace, was tried Friday and Satur-
day before Justice Whalen, quite a
number of witnesses appearing. The
trouble dates back some years, orig
mating with the sale and removal of
an old church property, and later
with alleged interference with the
cemetery grounds. 1t was claimed
that Brode had threatened to kill
Reed, and the latter asked that he
be placed under bonds to keep the
peace. At the close of the plaintiff 8
testimony the defense submitted the
case and Justice Whalen discharged
the defendant, on the grounds that
the plaintiff had not shown an at
tempt to cary out the threat by the
defendant. Yesterday Brode filed
suit against Reed for $5,025.SS dam
ages.
Saturday an assault and battery
case was held before Justice Bar
thell, Andrew Carolan VS. VIM. Gaul
of Bluffton. The defendant pleaded
guilty, paid his fine, and We hear
rumors of damage suit in this case
as we'll.
