tions-Commission Passes on Roads.

After adding a road for Marietta
and Hartland. changing the Liscomh
road. and making other less" important
changes. the board OF supervisors late
Thursday afternoon made its prelim
mary selection OF. 100 miles of high
ways in the county designated as coun
ty roads. The state highway commits
sion alone has the authority finally to
pass upon the system us adopted OF
make changes in ii.
Twenty seven miles of additional
road We're added to the system as
tentatively adopted by the supervisors
earlier in the day. With the exception
Of the additions and subtractions. IS
given below. the roads as designated
and described in Thursday evenings
T.-R. remain the same.
Changes That Were Made.
The north and south road. Albion
right of way was stricken out. In its
place the east and west read east
out of Liseomb and connecting with
the North Third avenue road, five miles
due east of Liscomb, was added. This
east and west road was continued west
thru Liscomb for three miles and then
north to the Grundy county line.
An entirely new road added was the
West Summit street road out of this
city thru Linn, Marietta, and Minerva
townships. This is the road north ana
west past "Strathmore" farm. on thru
Marietta village, and due west thru
Hartland TO the north and south road
from State Center TO Clemens.
That part of the State Center-to-
Clemens road. north of Bevins grove,
in Liberty township, was cut out. This
road ran two miles north Of Biven's
grove, where ii ended at the site of the
Liberty township consolidated school.
1t will run no farther north in that
direction than Biven's grove. but in
stead extended due west out of Biven's
grove for one and three quarters miles,
then turns north for four miles to the
Hardin county line. A short east and
west road was extended from it near
the turn to the Story county line.
Still another change that was made
was in the north and south road from
Melbourne. due north to the Trans
continental route, three miles east of
State Center. The north one and one
half miles of this road. just south Of
the Transcontinental route, was cut
out At that point, one and one-half
miles south of the Transcontinental
route the Melbourne road was turned
east for two miles, then north for a
mile and one-half. connecting with the
Unconstitutional route four and one
half miles east of State Center, instead
Of three miles east Of State Center.
A short road was added due east out
of Gilman for three quarters of a mile
to the Tama county line.
Reasons For Changes.
The Albion to- Liscomb north and
south road along the NJ. & ST. L was
eliminated from the system because the
road is low and level. 1t IS not as good
a read as the east and west road east
out of Liscomb.
The change was made in the north
and south road out Of Melbourne. be-

cause the new road is the better road,
and in addition passed thru a more
thickly settled community, besides go
ing by the county farm.
The Mariet ia -IIart!and road. north
west out Of this city, was added to
serve that community, 1t being the only
one that had not been provided with a
direct route to this city.
Board to Hear Objections.
Maps Of the system are being pre-
pared by County Engineer j. w. Ash.
One copy will be on file with the coun-
ty auditor for public inspection. An
other will be sent to the state highway
commission.
Formal notice of a meeting to hear
objections to the system, or any part
of it, will be sent out in short time
and the meeting will probably be held
late this month or early in June. At
that meeting the supervisors will con-
slider all protests. which must be filed
by p m. of the day OF the hearing.
The action of the board will then be
forwarded to the state highway COM
mission. which will take final action.

business men from that place filed with

long list of farmers along the road

the latter knocked the insulting
man down. When criticized for
abolishing the guards clubs, the
warden pointed out that the guards
were over men manufacturing pitch
forks, and asked what chance a
guard would have with short
club if a man turned on him with
pitchfork--none. The club, he
was merely a sign of
and was hence abolish
ed because it marked the gait of
men and branded them for life. The
lecture courses were organized and
with the money made by prisoners
working overtime in their cells at
night some of the best talent of the
United States has been brought
within the Iowa prison walls to give
to these restrained men.
The recent legislation took cogni-
zance of the benefit of this educa-
tional and literary training by pro-
viding that hereafter every visitor
entering the institution shall pay a
fee of 25 cents to go into a fund to
buy books and periodicals and en-

D., Mr.. George Trzcinski, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Trzcinski of this
city was united in marriage to Miss
Eleanore Elizabeth Lowe of Ken

splendid young man, one of the
many who have gone out from De-
corah and made good in the world.
He is city treasurer of Kenmare, and
cashier of the First National Bank
of that city. and though but a young
man, has demonstrated his worth
and ability in many ways. He was
favorite with all who knew him in
Decorah. His bride is said to be a
charming young lady, graduate Of
the Grand Forks university and for
three years a teacher in the Ken
mare high school.

RAILROADS QUIT BOOZE.
Every Common Carrier in Iowa Ex-
pected to Put the Lid on Carry
ing Liquor.

Every railroad and other common
carrier operating in Iowa will soon
give up assisting in the distribution
of intoxicants in dry territory in
Iowa. The order is likely to come
at the height of the dry season.

al at Washington is declared to be OF
no. effect, on the status of things be-
cause of the Webb bill. The feder-
al law was intended not as a prohibit
tion measure but as one to prevent
federal shielding of the law breakers
under the interstate rule.
A meeting of the presidents of rail-
roads was held few days ago to
consider this very subject and with
special reference to the dry territory
in Iowa and other states, and it was
agreed among them that the only
safe thing to do, in view of the adop-
tion, of the Webb-Kenyon law, is to
stop accepting shipments of liquor
for interstate shipments into dry
territory. An order to that effect
will soon be. issued. sY 4r
Even now the law is said to be
having the effect of materially de-
creasing- interstate business. Some
of the carriers have cut out the ship
ment and others are placing so many
about it that no business
is being done.
1t is expected that the common
carriers in Decorah will soon receive
the above instructions. The rule is
now in effect with the Rock Island
freight department. They have been
instructed not to carry liquor. The
express companies have not yet re-
ceived orders to stop delivery but
they have been given the right to
hold shipments which they suspect
is to be resold or to parties whom
they think are receiving too much.

tanned in them is not more than
two per cent. ~

INVESTIGATION OF CROPS,
SOILS, FERTILIZERS, ETC.
Five Experts from Ames Will In
vestigate and Advise Farmers
About Crops, Selection of
Seed, Roads Etc.

The farm tour of professors from
the state agricultural college at
Ames will start from Decorah tomor-
row morning at seven o'clock and
will continue throughout the after
noon and evening. The autos will
first head towards Calmar where AL
bert Shindelar's dairy farm and or
chard will be inspected. The second
stop will be at H. P. Nicholson's
farm between Calmar and Ossian,
and the third at A. w. Oxley's farm,
where the conditions are favorable
for investigating the raising of alfal-
fl. T. j. Crawford's thoroughbred
stock at Frankville will be inspect
ed next. 1t is expected that Decor
ah can be made in time for dinner.
After dinner the tour will head
northward. Albert Pfister's farm
near Locust will be the first stop,
then A. ]. Wingate's splendid stock
farm in Hesper township will be-
looked over. On the homeward jour-
ney from Burr Oak stop will be-
made at w. H. Houck's. The crowd
will take supper in Decorah, after
which a meeting will be held in the
Grand opera house and the prob
lens met with during the day will
be discussed by the professors and
farmers.
The professors and their respective
subjects are: Prof. NJ A. Hauser,
farm crops and seed selection; Prof
John S. Dodds, farm sanitation and
road problems; Prof. John Bucha-
nan. alfalfa, fertilizers, deep tiliage
etc, :, Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck, crop ro-
tation, soil problems drainage, soil
bacteria, and green manuring; and
Prof. Roy O'Donnell, live stock.
Each of the professors will discuss
with the farmers the subject at the
farms allowed named. The tour will
no doubt be attended by large num-
ber of farmers Of Winneshiek Coun-
ty who will learn and benefit by do
ing so.
In case it should rain, making the
roads bad for automobiles the auto
trip will be given up and talks will
be given at the opera house by the
experts.
1t is expected that the professors
will also hold a meeting at Calmar
Friday morning, with speeches ON
various subjects.

The Worrying Over Crops.

Those who watch crops, some De-
cause they are interested in them AID
some because they like to speculate
on them, will find plenty TO keep
themselves busy during the next
thirty OF even sixty. days. They are
the critical days Of the year in The
crop calendar. In many places it
will be too dry and in few places
it may be too wet. There may be
hot winds from the southwest and
cold winds from the north, although
the latter is the more remote. There
will be rust in the northern wheat
and there may be hail to bea: the
leaves off the corn and pound the
young ears into a pulp. All these
things can happen, and many more
and men will lie awake and be wor-
ried about the food supplies of the
people, says the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.
But of one thing we may be sure,
if we have a reasonable amount OF
faith in the processes of nature, and
that is that after we have all wor-
ried a great deal and predicted a
great deal more, nature will some
how manage to pull through an aver
age crop. We have gone through
these processes so often that by this
time we ought to have learned to
have some faith. After everything
has happened there will be enough
left, enough to feed us the nation
over and in few places, Iowa first
among them, surplus to help feed
others who are living in the larger
centers of population. For seventy
five years farming has been in pro-
gress in Iowa and there Is not year
recorded in which the state did not
grow an average crop. Only once did
we fear that we would fall much be-
low that and that was the disastrous
season of 1894, when we had seventy
Ave days in parts of Iowa In which
little or no rain fell. followed up by
a three days hard and hot wind
from the sands of the southwest.
But when Iowa counted her jewels at
the end of the season, she found tnat
she had a great many, an average
in spite of all.
And so, while the crop newsmakers
are busy, and while there are crop
failures and rumors of crop failures
let us abide in the faith at least here
in Iowa. Let us remain reasonably
happy and have little pleasure out
of life as the summer suns begin 20
decline, for the sun has now reached
it's farthest north and rest is
recession of summer.
