Edward S. Dickerson Of Grand Rap

berger proposes to organize the River
to-Riyer Sign Service Company. and
build and promote string Of adver-
Using boards across Jasper county and
later across the state Of Iowa.
He proposes to interest both local
and national advertisers in buying
space on these boards-the space to be
sold on yearly contracts. Already
several national advertisers have been
interested and other firms that are
discriminating buyers OF advertising
space, look with favor on the propo-
sition.
The proposition Is very similar. If
not identical with the advertising SER
vice that is afforded on the Georgia
permanent cross state highway. 1t VIII
be managed on the same plan with the
single exception that the advertising
rates will be somewhat smaller and
more attractive.
Mr.. Steinberger has made a propo-
sition to the Jasper County River to-
River Road Association whereby each
sign board will serve as a permanent
marker Of the River-to- River road.
This plan, IL accepted will save the as
ISOLATION the expense of putting up
signs every year and the association
can have the further assurance that
every turn and every cross road will
reliably inform the tourist or the
traveller as to the direction of the
River to River road.
All signs will consist of 1a inch
angle iron frame securely bolted and
braced together, with galvanized
sheet metal face SKIS feet square.
Permission has already been assured
for the erection of the boards on the
great cross state highway. They will
be a great help to the travelling public
besides their advertising value. The
states best highway will with such an
advertising service lining its pathway
take on the appearance of the we'll
known permanent highways across
Ohio, New York and other eastern
states.

Ter, engineer representing the associa-
ton of American Cement Manufac-
turers, conferred with Mayor Hanna
and Councilman Myerly Friday on the
question Of giving expert assistance in
the laying OF concrete paving this sum-

the proper supervision of all jobs.
Mr.. Butler. who was brought here by
the civic committee of the chamber Of
commerce, proposes to place inspectors
at work on every piece of concrete
work under the direction of an en-

Philadelphia would probably be the en-
gineer in charge of the work. Several

G. w. Wilson. of Cedar Heights,
nearly lost his life Tuesday in a vain
attempt to rescue his three horse team
when the animals became entangled in
the harness and were drowned in a
deep water-filled hole washed out of
the roadway leading to sandpit near
Cedar Heights. The high water in the
! river had overflowed the bottom land
across which ran the trail to the sand
pit. Wilson was driving his horses
thru the water and the animals be-
came frightened when they stepped
into deep hole. Wilson struggled
hard to release the horses. but couldn't
accomplish it. Handicapped by his
clothing he had a strenuous time him
self in swimming to safety. The
horses were owned by j. w. Slaughter.

An accident that s9s times in 1000

in the plant of the Milford Concrete
Works, last Monday morning. This is
the one time that 1t did not. Alder:

plant in feeding the machine acci-
/ dentally clogged it and caused the
drive chain to fly off. Albert reached
over to replace 1t. when the sprocket

a second he was being whirled around
! the shaft at lightning speed. Before
any one could throw off the power All
bert's clothing except his socks and the
shirt about his shoulders had been
torn entirely off and Albert had been
! thrown aside. He luckily alighted or
his feet and did not even drop to the
ground. After looking about to get his
bearings he went into another room,
where he had extra trousers and after
dressing himself came back with a
hammer ready to repair the damage
done to the hopper. which his shoes
had broken in his rapid revolution
about the shaft. He was not even
scratched.

PLUMBERS 70 FIGHT CASES.
S. ORGANIZATIONS to Defend In
80. Members.

Sioux City, June 20.-Jonn =. Gearen
a.! :. Hagan, Sioux City plumbers
Indicted a short time ago by the fed
era1 grand jury at Des Moines, charged
with a violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law, and NJ. j. Orr, previously in
dicted here for perjury, will have the
moral and financial support of the
Master Plumbers Association of Hi
nois, when their cases are called for
trial.
Charges made by the federal grand
Jury that the Master Association of
Plumbers, Of which the Sioux City
men are members, is a trust, and that
it has practiced monopoly, are being
resented by plumbers in all parts of the
country, and the methods of the fed
eral department of justice are being
vigorously scored.
The master plumbers are holding
their convention in Atlantic City, n. j..
and before it is adjourned resolutions
denouncing the methods used in the
investigation OF the ma ster plumbers
are expected to be adopted. At the
opening Of the convention resolutions
were read from the Master Plumbers
Association of Illinois, in which the
financial support, as we'll as moral,
was offered the indicted plumbers.
Similar resolutions from other plumb
ers' organizations in various parts OF
the country are expected to be pre-
sented before the convention is ad-
journed.
At the opening of the convention In
Atlantic City. Christopher Irving, of
Denver, president Of the Master
Plumbers Association, declared that
more than $50 agents of the United
States department Of justice have been
turned loose to pry into national and
state organizations Of plumbers. Those
agents, he said. had invaded the offices
Of the associe lions and taken files and
records, which had not been returned.
Irving declared the plumbers were
honest, law abiding business men of
America, who had been made the sub
ject of prying espionage that is un-
American and outrageous.

Ames, June 20.-When Iowa State
College graduates and friends come
home for the big Iowa game on state
field at Ames next Nov. IA. they'll help
dedicate a fine new cement grandst and
and fence, if
That eff stands for the possibility
of the friends and graduates of Iowa
State College subscribing the funds
with which to build the grandstand
and fence. Prof. S. W. Boyer. patron
saint of athletics at Ames. believes
that the possibility can be realized,
and so does Prof. w. H. Pew, who is
working with him in promoting the
campaign among the alumni for the
funds. They have just completed their
plans and have sent out letters to
class leaders who will in turn pass Oil
the word to class mates.
1t is proposed to invest $4,000 in
the Improvements for state field. A
erandstand to seat comfortably 5000
people. built Of reinforced concrete, will
cost $50, 900. A front fence with gates
in keeping with the gymnasium will
cost $4,000. The side fences $4,000.
The entire improvement will cost
$4,000. The Fairgrounds will require
similar amount, but this improve
ment may be deferred.
State Provides Fine Field.
The committee in charge believes
that it is not unreasonable to ask the
alumni to make this Improvement. The
state of Iowa has generously provided
fine field and a great gymnasium
costing $165,00O and it can not be ex-
pected to do more for physical train
ing in the near future. On the other
hand. the athletic council has not
asked the alumni or friends for penny
in twelve yearS-an unusual record.
The subscription paper as a means OF
at Ames was abolished in 1901 and
since then bills have been paid from
season ticket receipts. Since 1899,
when the athletic council was formed
to take over defunct student athletic
association, there has not been a de-
felt, and until recently the council
assumed full responsibility for all ath-
letic activities in the college. In 1905
the college assumed part of the sal
airy of one man. the physical director;
in 1919 a new field was set aside and
in 1913 new gymnasium completed by
the state. .s !
The athletic. council hopes for an
average Of $1,000 froma each class OF
the forty three that have gone out
of Iowa State College. 1t Is offering a
unique return to subscribers.
