road boosters attended the meeting

note which expressed the opinion Of
road enthusiasts in all counties but
one traversed by the road across the

inagurated to keep the road In con.

The meeting was considered highly
successful and much enthusiasm was
developed. H. c. Beard of the state
highway commission came out with a
positive statement of his opinion
that hard surfaced roads were the
only solution for Iowa's problem. The
patrol system of road upkeep was ad-
vocated and explained by State High

clared that it had been proved sue.

toughest in the state. According to
the plan suggested, there should be
one man hired for each ten miles OF
the road and he should be made re-

road in his district. It would take
thirty-six men to cover the whole
length Of the River.to-River road.

LOAN BILL IS SIGNED
Governor Affixes His Signature
After Careful Study.
ONLY ONE BILL IS HELD BACK
The HiIslnger Quarantine Bill Is Still
Being Considered BY Executive
Decision Must Be Reached
Within Short Time.

Des Moines.-Concluding that the
Thompson loan shark bill eliminates
the extortionate, conscienceless loan
shark" Governor Clarke approved
its becoming law.
Here is the governors view of the
bill:
ut was my first impression that
the bill known as the loan shark
bill should be vetoed After study
ing the bill and considering some le-
gal questions raised by 1t / reached
the conclusion that it should be APP
proved.
THE law of this state provides q
legal rate Of interest, per cent, and
that contracts may be made for
greater rate, s per cent, and it has
always provided for certain penalties
to follow the taking Of usurious in
terest. The taking Of interest beyond
these rates is not permitted to any
person. This bill provides that this
shall continue to be the law, because
1t says nothing herein contained
shall be construed as authorizing
provided by law The forfeiture pro-
vided for taking more is to continue
as heretofore.
"The bill cannot be taken to mean
the authorization or the legalizing of
per cent a month. Whoever exacts
1t is still liable to the forfeiture that
attends usury. The bill is aimed at
great evil Many loan sharks exact
very great deal more than per
cent a month. This bill In order to
stop it makes the exaction Of more
than per cent a month crime pun
ishable by fine or Imprisonment.
find that the courts have held that 1t
is entirely competent to do this. Who
ever takes more than per cent
month, directly or indirectly, by
means of commissions or brokerage
charges, or otherwise falls under the
condemnation OF this bill"
"The establishing Of societies for
making such loans at fair and reason
able rates Is the only remedy for the
relief Of those who are made the vic
Tins of the sharks. With the approx
al OF this bill no more than per cent
a month can be taken In Iowa with
out danger of fine or Imprisonment
and that much cannot. be taken with
out danger of the penalty provided
for the usurer Nobody need pay more
than the law has for years said may
be contracted for, unless he wants to.
1.-THE last paragraph Of the bill Is
not satisfactory and introduces diff

amount Of the inspection fee Is mat

the limits it shall not exceed being
fixed. Those who have given the sub
ject very careful study and investiga-
ton in the interest of those whom
this bill will affect, say they have
demonstrated the economic proposi-
ton that money may be loaned at a
profit on household goods at Q per
cent a month plus small investiga-
ton fee."
Many have suggested to me that
the bill should be vetoed. For the
reasons stated think it should be
approved and think the public should
know why 1t is approved.

very attractive by the large chimney
and fireplace, with bookcases in the
corners. These bookcases are about
FIVE feet in height, which necessitates
the placing of the windows over these
bookcases at considerable height; but
there is an advantage in this, because
the light comes from different angle,
and these small high windows, in con-
nection with the triple window in
front, light the parlor in very salts
factory manner. Likewise the dining
room is lighted by the wide windows
in the rear wall and by two narrower
windows in the box seat.
A built-in buffet is constructed
against the blank wall in the dining
room. The woodwork of the buffet
corresponds with the other woodwork
in the dining room and the parlor.
The same general design is used In
the front hall. The idea is to select
q style of finish that is suitable to the
house and to have all the living rooms
finished In the same pattern.

as a relief to the long sloping roof,
as we'll as for admitting light to the
center of the upper story.
The two bedrooms are lighted by
double windows in the gables. The
fashion of using double windows is
a good one for looks as we'll as for
light. Large gables require some
kind of an interruption to the general
smooth, straight siding as a relief,
For that reason the wide projection of
roof shuts away some of the light, so
that when single windows are used in
this capacity the bedrooms are likely
to be somewhat dark. The bedrooms
are IA by IL feet 6 inches in size, with
four extra large clothes closets or
store rooms. This is way of util.

lime. cement. etc., are heavy COM
modities, so that freight rates mount
up. For that reason each community
has figured out the cheapest and most
satisfactory way Of building up to the
surface of the ground. II cellar-wall
material is locally convenient. the
walls are carried up to the bottom
of the first floor joists. II cellar-wall
material is scarce or expensive, then
cellar walls usually extend only to the
surface of the ground.
A sill is laid on top of this low wall
and the studding started from the sill
in the usual way. but there is Turing
strip gained into the studding two or
three feet above the top of the wall.
This Turing strip supports the floor
1oists, so that the cellar is given the usu-
al height of IN feet of headroom, and
$50 or 500 is saved in the cost OF
construction. These details are worked
out locally regardless of the general
plan of the superstructure, because 1t
makes no alteration in the manner OF
building except that the studdings are
two or three feet longer. more or less.
The plan of this house provides for
four rooms and bathroom on the
first floor. and there are two bedrooms
and a sewing room on the second
floor. The sewing room is lighted by
the front dormer. The back dormer
window lights the stairway. These
dormers are very artistically designed

DEN MARK.

A dark object was noticed close to
the beach at Old Skagen. At first 1t
was supposed to be mine that had
drifted in from the sea, but it proved
to be whale, which some fishermen
tugged to Skagen, where an expert
enced whale hunter cut it up for use,
Under two-inch layer of blubber was
fine meat. This was sampled by the
pastors wife, who was born in the
Farce islands and was familiar with
the use OF whale meat. She said 1t
was just fine, and to prove that she
meant just what she said, she secured
a large portion of the meat. This was
signal for the people of the locality
to take advantage of the unexpected
chance to get cheap meat. The price
asked was only cent and a half a
pound. When the butchers came to
Skagen to sell meat as usual, they
were met with the whale story and had
to take their meat home again.
National prohibition went into effect
in Iceland the LIST of January. Con-
siderable blind-pigging has been going
on in the capital, and the authorities
are kept pretty busy. The liquor is
smuggled into the country by foreign
ships. The ministry has decided that
liquor may be used on Icelandic ships
during the voyage, but as soon as they
approach the country, all liquors on
board shall be sealed. 1t was at first
supposed that the law applied only to
the land and the territorial waters of
the country, but this new ruling car

sea near the coast of Iceland. The

keep up the struggle until the illicit
drink traffic is stamped out.

grabbed the hand of man who helped
her between her teeth, but what was

open with crowbar. The mans hand
was badly lacerated, and a surgeon
had to dress it.
