MEN IN FAVOR OF
STRONG BRIDGES

Marshalltown, March 4.-The board
of directors of the Marshall County
Farmers association Is in favor OF
permanent bridges, and a bond issue
to furnish the money to build them
with. At the bi-weekly meeting the
board went on record as favoring the
submission to the voters of the matter
of issuing county bonds to build
permanent bridges and culverts in
county and township roads.
Eleven of the eighteen directors at
tended the meeting, and seven of the
eleven adopted the resolution over
"a negative votes of the other four.
The negative votes, it was under
stood, represented not so much opposi-
ton to the plan as fear that the pro-
posal of the plan by the farmers asso-
citation would lessen the usefulness of
the association by getting it in bad"

DISSENSION IN
SYNOD is SETTLED

Stanton, March AT the closing
session of the fortyseventh convention
of the Augustana synod Of the Evan
gelical Lutheran church the resigna-
ton of Rev. o. A. Henry as superin-
tendent Of the Iowa Lutheran hospital
of Des Moines, was accepted. This had
been rendered the hospital board last
May, but the matter was referred to
the conference for action. There had
been friction between the superintend-
ent and the board A committee was
appointed to investigate the causes of
dissension. This committee recon-
mended that the resignation be accept
ed, but coupled with the report was a
mild censure of the board. The same
evening the board held a session and
nominated Rev. F. 0. Hanson, field Sec
rotary of the English work of the
synod, for superintendent.
He was unanimously elected. His
salary was fixed at 81, 500 per year, free
use of the residence on the hospital
grounds and free travelling expenses.

quickly and joyfully, don't you see
that your patent will make nice

It's l will be glad to get the thing
off my mind. We are busy at the
Office just now" He arose because
he had already trespassed on her
time. "The thing was useless with
out your improvement"
When he had gone Polly had time
to realize that Crawford was most
generous and that his personality
was decidedly pleasing. After that she
skipped out to the telephone in the
corner chemists and made an ap-
pointment with John ellsworth.
The big financier received her the
following day in his luxurious Office.
His philanthropy was well known.
Polly approached him with no fear
and put her model before him.
ellsworth remembered having
rested tired eyes on her beauty one
evening in the subway. The magnet
ism, together with the undoubted
value of the egg boiler which she
demonstrated to him, quite worked
the charm.
When she had left the office Gals
worth sighed. He felt the girls
presence even when she had disap-
peared from sight and again re-
GREETED the fact that women must
struggle in the business world save
in this particular instance. He re-
joiced that Polly Woodward had en-
tered his life.
And Polly returned to her Office
with light heart. She went immed-
lately to the telephone and told
Crawford the good news. He was so
delighted that he asked her to lunch
with him by way of celebration, and
Polly agreed. She was glad that she
had worn her new blouse to the
Office that day.
When she returned to her Office,
after most happy lunch hour spent
with Crawford, she rejoiced for the
second time that she had worn her
new blouse. John ellsworth had
telephoned her. He wanted her to
have dinner with him if she was not
tired of talking business. There was
much to be discussed about the egg
boiler.
And fiat dinner there were red
roses on the table for Polly, and roses
in Polly's cheeks for ellsworth and
only a short talk on the subject OF
egg boilers, no one minded overmuch
The evening passed with wonderful
promise of happiness in its trail for
Polly and ellsworth had found one
another.
Crawford went up that evening to
the home of the sweetheart who had
been waiting impatiently to hear the
news of the egg boiler. But all Craw-
ford did was to take her into his
arms.
Can you be ready for that trip in
about four Weeks?" he asked her.

of apology for her extravaganza.
Using great care so that no harm
would come to the model, Polly put
in her egg. She felt certain that
the person who had lost the patent
would claim it by advertisement
and she did not want to damage it.
To her interested eye the thing
seemed to be one of those labor-sav.
ing devices so dear to the domestic
woman's heart. Polly had. many lit
tie contrivances that saved her both
footsteps and time. Where there is

The Indicator on the egg boiler
snapped and Polly removed the egg,
only to find it half boiled. She
sighed disappointedly. The patent
had seemed so promising, yet it failed
because of the indicator.
Surely it could be quite easily ad-
justed," she pondered while she
cleaned the model and dried it care
fully There would be one of these
in every kitchen if it could be easily
regulated to any number of minutes.
All the girls in the Office would have

pollys query was carried on in the
small sitting room, whittier she went
with Crawford's patent. Her lumin-
Gus eyes were half closed, so close
was her scrutiny of the egg boiler.
She sat down under the light, her
busy brain hard at work.
When a week had passed and no
one had advertised for the model
Polly became impatient. She had per-
fected the boiler until it worked like
a charm, and it irritated her to real
lie that the inventor was so lacking
in interest as to put forward no claim
for his patent 1t should be on the
market, yet she was not free to go
to the financier in the office building in
which she worked and put it before
him. She had heard that John Gals
worth was always ready to finance any
thing good.
It was Polly herself who finally ad-
vertised for the person who had left
a small package on the subway con-
tanning an invention.

OF gloom were gradually lifting, hap

went forthwith in search of his lost
property.
1t was perforce after business hours
that he went. Polly Woodward had
scarcely tidied up herself and her fiat
before her bell sounded.
Crawford was decidedly pleased
that he bad lost his model when he
beheld Polly in the doorway.
"You can make stacks of money
out of that" she told him when she
had drawn him into the cozy sitting
room. 1T only required simple bit

his error.

with a splendid dash of color in his
cheeks and sparkle to his eyes. But

at her, ut takes woman's head to

Crawford was fatty discouraged.
AS he mounted the steps leading TO
his boarding house he realized that he
had lost the small model of his pat
ent and that the knowledge in no
way worried him. He had no doubt
left it in the subway train that had
carried him homeward from the fin
ancier's office.
However, since the thing was not
worth financing and putting on the
market, Crawford didn't care what
happened to his patent. All he did
know was that he would not spend
another cent nor yet another atom
of brain energy trying to invent egg
boilers or any other kind of boiler.
He had banked rather heavily on the
outcome of his visit to the tinancier,
but the expectations had ended.
Crawford would hope for nothing in
the future save his 500 week. His
dreams of sudden and vast wealth
brought about by startling demand
for his patent egg boiler vanished
into the past, even as his model itself
had lost itself in the subway. Craw-
ford hoped it had fallen beneath the
wheels and been crushed to powder.
He laughed bitterly and could not
remember, so gloomy was his attl-
tude, that the great financier had
mentioned that a slight amount OF
added thought spent on the patent
would no doubt result in a most sue
cessful egg boiler.
And Polly Woodward, returning
from a hard day in the Office of her
employer, picked up the small pack
age that had been left in the seat into
which her tired body sank.
She was far too weary to ponder on
the exact nature of the thing she had
found. but knew it to be something
for kitchen use 1t might be baby
feeder or even a grill Of some kind.
Later. when she had cooked her even
ing meal in the tiny kitchenette her
nat boosted. she would no doubt have
sufficient brain energy to fathom the
character Of her find. For the pres
ent she closed her eyes-they were
strangely luminous-and robbed the
gentleman opposite Of the pleasure OF
watching them. He, also tired toller
of Wall street, had been resting his
own eyes unobservedly on the beauty
of the weary little worker. John
ellsworth was more than ever re-
gretful that so many women were
forced to enter the field Of labor.
When Polly Woodward had finished
her evening meal and the flush OF
health had returned to her cheeks
and renewed power to her brain, she
sat down with the patent and studied
it infinitely.

wonder if it's any good or just like
the thousands of other egg boilers"
Curiosity got the better of her and
she tripped lightly into her kitchen
to experiment with Jim Crawford's
patent and one of her sixty-cents-a-
dozen eggs.
