ADOPTS SYSTEM FAVORED
BY GOVERNOR IN MESSAGE
Some Changes in Law Necessary to
Permit of Bills Being Audited En-.
tireiy by State Executive Council
and Money Paid Direct From State
Treasury.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. Sin his message
to the legislature the governor advised
that it be put in the law that the high
way commission bills be audited by
some competent board or council and
the bills be paid directly from the
state treasury. He called attention to
the fact that this is the only board OF
the state which audits it's own bills.
Already the state highway commits
sion has inaugurated the system. just
so far as it can be done with the laws
as they are. Some time ago President
Marston, of the highway commission.
wrote the governor communicating to
him and the executive council the fact
that the commission had voted unani-
mously to ask the state executive coun-
Gil to audit the bills of the commission,
and especially the bills for personal
expenses of commissioners and the Of
fee expenses, and to go just as far as
practicable in supervising control OF
these matters. Governor Clarke and
Dean Marston had conference this
week and went into details over the
matter.
AS to the plan of having all the
money paid directly out of the state
treasury on warrants issued by the
state auditor that will depend on the
law The governor suggested and will
urge upon the legislature that as to
both the highway commission and the
board of education the funds should be
handled the same as with the board
81 control. For the last named board
the funds are kept in the state treas
ury and are disbursed from there. The
board of education draws out it's funds
in lump sum at stated intervals and
places the same in the banks in cities
where the colleges are located. to be
drawn out on checks issued by the
boards The highway commission in
like manner receives in lump sum. as a
part of the auto tax fund. the money
which it is authorized to expend. The
board of control system has been found
to work well. and it is probable the
legislature will adopt it for all COM
missiones and boards.

his dinner. All six had every appear
ance of having met death and were
lying in all sorts of attitudes Just as
they had dropped unconscious from

1t appears that the gas from the eN

blown back into the mouse thru half

during the extreme cold weather. Grad

He carried the unconscious ones TO

Mrs. Weir. Mrs. Johnson and their
oldest child. 10 years of age, suffered
the least. They do not recall anything

TO AID IMMIGRATION
OFFICERS IN WORK
From Iowa Territory For
Jobs to Be Forwarded to Central
Office in ST. Louis-Jobless and
Those Who Have Work to Give Out
to Be Brought Together.

Council Bluffs, Feb. 6.-Uncle Sam
in his latest role appears as the pur-
veyor of jobs to the jobless and help
for those who need laborers. A cir
cular received Thursday at the local
postoffice contained information and
necessary blanks and other paper fol-
use of the local office in assisting the
new employment agency of the bureau
of immigration, department of labor
which is endeavoring to equalize the
disparity between the job and the
workman.
The plan of the department of labor
does nee contemplate caring for purely
local conditions, so it will be useless,
at present, anyway to apply at the
postoffice for a job in Council Bluffs
But if you're workman or laborer of
any class whatever and are seeking a
job you can register your name ano
occupation. with other information re-
quired, at the local office and it will be
forwarded to the nearest central dis
tributing station, which in this case is
st. Louis, and there you will be regis
tered and your name given out to APP
in a register of employers seeking la
Dor.
Assistant Postmaster Fred Johnson
who will be most directly charged. with
the work of registering applicants fol
either work or workman. said Friday
that the idea is the establishment OF
central distributing bureaus. where
both employees and employers may turn
quickly for assistance. There are few
seasons in the year when there is not

The wheat and cotton harvests are
examples. Annually the cry goes OK

Then the floating, labor population

to find the demands far over supplied.
If this labor could be distributed over
all the wheat growing section this con-
dition would not prevail.

retired early ,as was their usual Gus
tom: but the young lady did not go
there to sleep. She, however, waited
until the little clock on her dresser
told of the fast approaching hour.
Then she crept from ner warm bed
and hastily dressed. 1t would have
been impossible for her to escape from
the house by the front way, as she
would have had to traverse her
mothers and fathers bed room. and to
have been discovered would have
meant defeat.
Miss Herter saw that # she made
her getaway at all it would have to
be via the back porch. Not stopping
to collect any of her belongings she
reached the snow clad, ice-covered
porch. To get from the second story
down on to the ground 1t was neces-
sary to scale railing which brought
her onto neighboring porch from
which stairs led to the ground below.
She gained the porch and finally the
ground. Hastily picking her way to the
front of the building she ran at top
speed to the Hurst Hotel, slme three
blocks from her home, where her lover
and the justice were anxlously await
ing her arrival.
The happy young couple were soon
made one by the justice. They took
rooms at the Hurst Hotel for their
honeymoon. Next morning at the
home of the bride her mother found
her bed empty. Hasty inquiry brought
out the whole story, but the father and
mother can not be comforted, as Marie
was their only daughter.
The next day the groom went to
the girls parents home and asked
for her clothes which were at first re-
fused him, but which he afterward Sc
cured without much trouble.
