Tomorrow morning. at the Sonora
Methodist church in Sheridan town
ship, Ernest Allison Smith, Of Oska-
loosa, will speak on the subject 1.-THE
Price of Victory" The occasion is to
be a general rally in the interest of
prohibition.
In addition to the many other i'm
provements that the progressive citi-
zens of Grinnell have projected is one
that is intended to prevent accidents at
the intersections of streets where autos
and other vehicles for that matter, ara
in the habit of cutting corners 1t con-
sists of heavy concrete or cement
base with an upright bearing promi-
nent signs that tell the driver of any
vehicle to keep to the right. The first
one ordered is to be placed at the point
where there is the greatest congestion
Of that kind of travel, Fourth avenue
and Main street. AS soon as it is seen
that this one is effective others will be
placed at other prominent corners until
the places of most danger are all
guarded.
Work has actually been in progress
for some days on the new paving con-
tract by Mr.. Horrabin, of Iowa City.
The beginning was made on Seventh
avenue to connect with the streets run
ming at right angles with that avenue
and that were paved five years ago. But
the continuation of heavy rains has
much interfered with the progress OF
the work and the downpour of last eve
ming simply flooded the working area
at that point
President w. S. Dodge, Of the Grin
nell Commercial Club, has appointed
committee consisting of Secretary l. S.
Bailey Samuel H. Crosby and A. r.
Longnecker to go into executive ses-
sion and see that a new and complete
census of the population of Grinnell is
taken. The work is to be so divided
and done so quickly as to be almost
simultaneous so that comings and go
ings shall not interfere with an accur-
ate count. With the great increase in
school population, the number of new
dwellings, built and occupied, and the
absence of vacant houses or rooms in
the city. it is felt that there must be
more people living here than got into
the former count. This does not in the
least reflect upon the former enumer-
ator. His duties as assessor were neces-
sarily so prolonged and so multiplied
that 1t Is not surprising IL some
escaped counting. he executive cou1-
ell in Des Moines has sanctioned this
recount and we may expect within
very short time to have all doubts about
1.-THE census returns cleared up.
