1t is with the greatest OF pleasure I

realize they are all here OF one ac-
cord, that for Il while all worldly bus
mess and cares are laid aside. that
they may devote themselves entirely
to the rejoicing that one whom Char
ter Oak lodge No. 105 looks upon as
a parent, has rounded out quarter
century of years as Il member. In all
those long years we have pointed with
pride to his name upon the charter,
we have with pride spoken of him as
Il son would speak OF a father who has
carefully watched over him and guild
ed the destiny of his life. While re-
ferring to the twenty-five years Of
actual membership in our lodge,

sown in his heart the seeds OF Odd
Fellowship. often wonder if there
is case parallel with this. often
wonder if Dunlap lodge has ever stop
ped to consider the amount OF good
it did humanity when it conferred the
rights of Odd Fellowship upon our
esteemed brother.
Easking in the sunshine Of unseliish
love for his fellow men, the seeds,
when planted upon the soil Of that
heart, took root and in his great de-
sire to do something for others, to
lead them to a higher realization of
social fellowship, he built unto him
self a monument that will stand
throughout the ages. How many fam
lilies of today, through his efforts, are
realizing fraternaf protection that is
accorded them? DO you not think that
when troubles and sickness overtake
a member of this, lodge and he re-

The administration will hardly
waste time trying to explain away the
increase in the cost Of living in 1914
as compared with 1913. The statis-
tics are its own. The democratic tar

The war broke out in August, 1914.

MUST CUT WEEDS
BEFORE AUGUST |.
The State Highway Commission Calls
Attention to the Change in {
Date Of the Weed Law.
AFTER THE BOTTLE TARowERs
Prosecution OF Those Who Leave
Gisso in the Roads Is Urged
by Commission Also.

The state highway commission is
calling the attention of property
owners to the change in the state Jaw
which requires weeds to be cut be-
tween July 1st and August lst.
The commission says:
1.-THE Iowa wed law as amneded
by the Thirty.sixth general assembly
places the final limit on weed cutting
August list, two weeks earlier than
formerly. Weeds must be cut be-
tween July LIST and August 1st For
merry tho dates were July 18th TO
August 18th. The change to the ear
lier dates was made because it was
found that the seeds of many noxious
weeds ESQ far matured by August
18th that cutting on that date was OF
little or no value in preventing the
spread of the weeds. al
THE land owner or the occupant
of the land is responsible for the de-
struction of all weeds on his land or
on the highways adjoining. The town
ship trustees and the road officials are
responsible if the land owner or the
occupant neglects his duty. The
trustee and the road official who neg
lacts or fails to perform his duty un-
der the weed law may be charged with
misdemeanOr and is punishable by
fine not exceeding 500. Where the
land owners or occupants refuse to
cut the weeds the law authorizes the
trustees and county authorities to
cut the weeds and charge the expense
against the property"
That 10y riders who throw bottles
on the public highway, may be and
should be prosecuted, is stated by the
commission in its recent bulletin. 1t
says:
"Ccnstant complaints are made o!
the quantities of broken glass, beer
bottles and similar Instructions on
the main Travelled roads. The law,
c,apter 30 acts of the Thirty-tifth
general assembly, makes the placing

At any rate President Wilson is not
in position to pass any adverse crit
icism upon Mr.. Bryan. 1t was Bryan
alone who took Wilson from minor
ity place in the Baltimore convention
and won the nomination for him over
Champ Clark. the majority candidate.
In each Of his three campaigns for the
presidency Bryan polled more votes
than did Wilson. though the popula-
ton of the United States was much,
less when Bryan ran. In political sa-
gacity requisite to effective work in a
convention and in popularity with the
democrats OF the country, Bryan has
Wilson skinned a mile" and it is a
safe guess that Wilson's political ad-
visers won't let him commit the folly
of saying anything that will displease
Bryans friends.
