The nations of Europe preparing for peace, but
the big problems which the of this if it
had any cause-reman unsettled England has
driven Germany from the and Germany has fought
the Allies to standstl on land. German militarism =
and British navaism has each gained its victory and
aside from whoeome respect which each has for the other
the immense expenditure of blood and has been
in vain. Whether the combatants will discuss these
problems soberly and with willing
ness to yield bit is what will determine whether
there is any hope for peace at this time.

There are excellent Americans, and women who

No Excuse for Not Draxsing Roads.

There can be no excuse in Iowa for
Iowa roads being undragged. The
township trustees have a drag fund
levied for this and no other purpose
which is sufficient to pay for the drag
ging of all necessary township roads.
The law directs the county road sys-
tenn dragged to a smooth condition at
all times. The share of the automo-
bile tax which comes to every county
will go long ways toward paying this
expense. The automobiles who pay
this tax are entitled to have the money
spent for this work rather than any
other There are times and seasons
when it is hard to get any one to do the
work. This fact, however, is no ex-
cuse for neglecting to have it done.
The law says it shall be done and pro-
vides the money and places the respon-
sibility for doing it. The people Of
every community are entitled to have
it done. If it is neglected, they have
the law back of them to force the prop
err officials to get it done. The roads
should be dragged and there is no valid
excuse for ignoring the law or neglect
ing the work. State Highway Com

Kilkenny BY Augustus Pitou, ST.

Like the s'Emerald Gem of the
Ocean" whose lustre never fades, so
also is her worthy son -Fiske O'Hara-
the one bright spot on the Theatrical
Firmament today, and who is booked to
appear in his new play Kilkenny" at
The Cresco, Aug. 2sth, 1915.
Few have done more in spreading the
truth and light of Erin's beloved coun-
try and fostered her ideals and history
than Mr.. Pitou, the author of "Kil-
kenny" who has devoted fifty years
to writing and producing Irish dramas,
presenting genuine life and character
and wildly portraying the beauty and
grandeur of the character of Erin's
noble sons and daughters, recalling
sweet memories of some of our child
hood days, mingled with joy and sor-
row as must be in the hearts of those
who recall the landof their birth.
What would the authors work be
without this silvery voiced son of Erin
and talented actor, Mr.. O'Hara, the
only living one on the stage today with
these two qualities combined, actor and
singer. Mr.. Pitou has woven around
Kilkenny story full of love, chivalry
and romance, the trinity of the Irish
heart. 100 years ago there existed in
Kilkenny a theatrical company COM
posed Of ladies and gentlemen of mark
and distinction. Each year they pre-
sented plays for charity. The throngs
that attended these performances be-
came so great that this annual event
was afterwards called the Kilkenny
Carnival" Desmond, the leading So
ciety actor and singer which Mr..
O'Hara will impersonate, and Molina
Carroll, the leading lady of the period
became engaged. Her guardian who
was the owner and proprietor of the
Castlecomer Coal Mines fearing that
his misrepresentation of her wealth
would come to light decides to abduct
her to Convent in France through the
aid of Maurice Levine polished ne'er
-do-well of the time. Desmond was
worthy of the fairest lady in the land.
Moina's guardian knew that but he was
not thinking of her welfare, it was his
own. This drama of intrigue and mys-
terry, devotion and love is intensified
and visualized in soul inspiring dra-
matte climax. Irrespective of the fact,
that the scenes and incidents are laid in
Ireland Kilkenny will have a general
appeal to all theatre-goers from dra.
matte standpoint,
Mr.. O'Hara's silvery voice will be
heard in many new songs and his dear
old favorites. Offered by the Crescc
Opera House Co.

Dr.. Mer.chon to Retire from Ministry

DR.. Nelson A. Merschon will retire
from the ministry and enter upon some
business activity, likely real estate, at
the and of his term as district superin-
tendent (presiding elder, which ex-
pires Sept. 18th. In the Methodist
church the term of district superinten-
dent is six years. DR.. Merschon has
served one term. A district superin-
tendent cannot be elected more than
one term in succession. He may re-
turn to pastorate for few years,
and then be reelected. DR.. Merschon' 8
wife died some three years ago, and
this helps to determine him not to un-
dertake another pastorate. He lives
at New Hampton with his daughter.
