good will come from having the
whole state of Iowa center its

good roads. In fl ct it will be
like q series of political raj ies

leaven which makes the issue
grow to something big and
overwhelming. Iowa has made
splendid start in the good

the foundation work are best of
any state in the union. She
has some mighty important
steps still to take. She needs
all the enthusiasm good roads
workers and speakers can
arouse. Every loval citizen
shonld make every day a good
roads day but June Is should be
the banner Good Roads day
with everybody, young and old,
big and little, doing something
or saying something to help
the cause of good roads.

PRISONERS EARNED s9s3.s2
Honor Plan in Woodstock Allows In
mates to Earn Good Sums

Windsor, June 22.-According to j.
II. Kiniry, sheriff of Windsor county
prisoners in the county Jail in Wood
stock can be worked to advantage.
He points to the earnings of 1913,
which he sets at $963.32, one-half of
the same being given to the prisoners
direct and onehalf retained for the
support of the Jail. These amounts
are either given to the prisoners on
their discharge or expended for the
relief of their families.
There was only one escape from
the Jail in 1913, Mr.. Kiniry says, a
man by the name of Foristall being
recaptured shortly after his jail-break
He will serve his term and be tried
for Jail breaking as an example to the
others.
Since his incumbency, the present
sheriff has also had the interior OF
the jail repainted by the prisoners
the county furnishing the material
and the inmates the labor.

The Supreme Court today, speaking
through Justice Hughes, announced
that the lower court had fallen into
error by not distinguishing between
the religious and civil nature of the
VOWS. II was pointed out that per
son was permitted unde, the organi-
cation OF the orders to withdraw civil
ly. although his withdrawal in a relig-
ious sense was a matter of consck
encc.
The case arose in the settlement
of the estate of Father Augustin
Wirth, in charge of a church ut
Springfield, MINI. Relatives claimed
property in his possession at the
time OF his death. despite his vow to
the Order of s.. Benedict to possess
no property and to turn over to the
order all his worldly possessions.
In the presentation of the case TO
the court, il was stated that the de-
cision of the court below, IL sustain
ed, would throw in doubt the title to
millions of dollars worth of property
now held by religious orders, particu-
larly those of the Catholic Church,
which had Incorporated into their reg
ulations VOWS to poverty.

In the discussion Of any such
