Iowa roads must be dragged. This
is the edict that is to go out from
the Office of the highway commission.
Complaints from all over the state
that the dragging feature of the new
road law is being utterly ignored
have determined the members of the
commission to take decisive action.
The new law is absolutely mandatory
on the question of dragging. The
township must expend not less than
one mill tax levy for dragging town
ship roads. There is no alternative.
The road superintendent is under
bond to see that this is done. The
dragging of county roads is in the
hands of county supervisors. They
are specifically charged with see
ing that the work is done. They must
expend whatever sum is necessary.
They are not limited. The commits
sion has been so tied up with getting
the road and bridge building of the
state properly lined up for the year
that they have had no time to put
on the dragging feature. Now the op-
portunity has come, and the active
campaign for the enforcement of the
law will start at once.

Big Bartlett Barn Burns.

The barn on the Bartlett farm just
south of town was discovered on fire
Sunday morning about six o'clock
and nothing could be done to save it.
Clarence Bartlett who lives on the
farm lost all his implements, and
harness, a considerable amount of
grain and other feed. The cause of
the fire is not known.
It seems there has been entirely
too many big barns burn in this Sec
ton recently. It is barely possible q
fire bug has bitten again. Garden

She Remembered.

Aunt Jane is quite absent-minded.
and when she started on a short jour
ney, few weeks ago, each member
of the family labored to impress on
her that she must not forget any of
her parcels or belonging When she
reached her destination, she wrote at
once of her safe arrival, and closed
with the following postscript:
Il remembered what you said about
forgetting. and tried to be as thought
full as possible. ! neglected though,
TO have my trunk rechecked at me
junction, and think I must have left
my lunch at the window when
bought my ticket.
Il must have forgotten my umbrella.

Wine dealers who are fortunate
enough to get their products into the

ceptionaily acute taste to discover the

in the kings household that not bot

British merchants are prone to
make immense commercial capital out
of their sale of goods or devotion TO
services to the royal household. To
be a kings tailor carries a prest ge
that has made men rich. To have sup
piled the queens shoes has been the
financial uplifter for many q London

have not hesitated to make advertis-
ing capital out of their connection
with the royal family.
One might easily imagine the pres

spicuously displayed upon the kings

Y. M. c. A. TO FOLLOW
 ARMY OF KITCHENER

London, Dec. 223Thez 'swar depart ment'' of the Young Mems Christian Association recently announced that it had established 500 centers of Y. M. c. A. work in the British army.
 '@' Wherever Kitchener's army en- camps, there goes the Y. M. c. Az says the association war secretary in a report which he is preparing of the past -four months work. It is liter ally true. The association is following the new army abroad, not only into France and Belgium, but also into In- dia. and Egypt. Before the new year begins, Y. M. c. A. huts are to be set up in ten Indian cantonme ents. and two Y. NJ c. A. huts of ample size are to be erected at each of the three British bases in northern France.
 In all the camps in England too, where the soldiers are quitting tents and taking up their quarters in long wooden barracks of rough lumber the Y. M. c. A. is likewise turning its at tentiOn to the preparation of adequate winter quarters, within which may be compressed all the social, religious and recreative life of the camp.
 The Bramshott Common camp, for instance, has been provided with four Y. M. c. A. huts. The cost of build ing and equipping the four was $14, ,00O.
