OILING THE ROADS.
Work Started Thursday and is Being
Rapidly Pushed.

J. P. Burns started oiling the
streets of Decorah last Thur7day.
The oil was laid down through the
center of Water street as far as the
creamery. AS. soon as it drys in the
center, the sides of the road will be
oiled, and the dust problem will be
se..led for this year. We suggest
that Mr.. Burns oil the roads from
curbing to curbing. The idea of oil
ing the roads good in the center, with
the idea that the oil will work out
to the sides is joke. The entire
road must be covered, or the oil is
not worth cent. Main street and
Broadway, and some of the roads on
the West Side were given oil. OF
course the work is not finished yet,
but will be as fast as the oil in the.
center drys.

TO SPEND S22, 900 ON .GRAVELED
ROAD.
An Educational Plan Which May be
Followed by Vote to Gravel
All Highways.

Waterloo, Iowa, July 17.-Twen-
ty-two thousand dollars will be ex-
pended on five detached miles of sam
pie graveled highway in this county.
Wednesday the board located these
demonstration miles in the supervis-
or districts outside of Waterloo. En-
gineer n. B. Barber will Immediately
outline the work and the samples will
be completed before the ground freez-
es next winter.
The object is 10 give the people of
the county actual demonstration of
the merits of surfaced roads. 1t is
to be an educational move, in a sense,
and will probably be followed by the
calling of a special election to vote
on bond issue for the graveling of
the entire county highway system.
Each sample mile will cost about
$4,000 to drain, grade, gravel and
roll. 1t is the intention of the board
to pay for the work out of the auto
mobile tax.
All the sample miles are located
on main highways centering in Wat
erloo. Three of them are through
or near towns outside this city.

DR.. Conrad and Mail Carrier En-
met Gillett, and Supt Larsen of the
Decorah hospital and a nurse, Miss
Peterson arrived home last week
from Chicago, where they had taken
Joseph Bollinger, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Johl Bollinger, to tbs Hahne-
man Hospital to undergo an exam
ination by the surgeons for an affec-
ton of the hip joint. The surgeons
stated that Joseph could be cured
but it would be necessary for him
to be confined to his bed for several
months and lay perfectly still.
The trip was made by automobile
and Mr.. Gillett tells us that the Iowa
roads have the Illinois and Wiscon-
sin roads backed off the map In
many places in Illinois they are paw
ing the roads with brick, this work
being done now between Morrison
and Sterling. Some of the roads are
stone and gravel, and are anything
but smooth riders, as they are full
of pot holes.
Mr.. Gillett claims that Iowa's dirt
roads are the best after ALL

ONLY Is MORE DAYS
UNTIL The FAIR OPENS
Managers Have Been Working Hard
and Have Booked Some of the
Finest Attractions Ever
Seen in the State.
BOOST FOR THE FAIR.
BRING IN YOUR EXHIBITS;
$4,000 Will be Spent on Attractions
and Premiums, Which Mean
the People Are Going to
Get Something Worth
While.

Only twenty-five more days remain
until the great Winneshiek county
fair opens in Decorah. This year it
can be truthfully said the fair will be
the biggest and best in the history
of the association. The attractions
are all strictly tirst-class and the best
that money and discriminating
taste can buy, and the people are urg-
ed to give the association their moral
and financial support. This is your
fair and it can and will be just as
good as you choose to make it. This
is community enterprise and as
such is entitled to the good will and
cooperation of all.
Boost for the fair; bring exhibits
to the fair; come to the fair every
day. The number and quality of ex-
hibits and variety of entertainment
will be such that you must come ev-
cry day if you are to see it all.
The night program will be a dan
dy. The fair grounds will be brill
liantly Illuminated with electric
lights and fine program will be put
on.
A great trotting and pacing race
program will be put on, and purse
of $1,000 will be hung up. A fine
line Of free attractions will be on the
program, the auto races, auto polo,
balloon ascensions and many other
fine attractions, the full program of
which will be given in page adver-
tisement in next weeks issue of Pub
lie Opinion. Watch for the announce
ment. No fair in Iowa will have a
better or more varied entertainment.

A GERMAN MONSTER OF THE SEA

The greatest invention of the age
arose from the sea off the Virginia
coast last week and delivered it's
cargo of dyes and other freight direct
from Germany. An undersea craft
had made its journey across the ocean
in spite of Gordon of battleships
which were supposed to maintain a
blockade. And a fleet of them is to
follow. Freighting upon the seas in
the future is to undergo a marvellous
change. The necessity of the war
has become the mother of an inven-
ton, says the Marshalltown Times
Republican.
AS our own civil war introduced
the steel ship to the world which
later became the ship of commerce
and of war this var has produced the
submarine city block long which
has evaded the entire British navy
and has landed its cargo on our
shores with the announcement that
other and larger ones are to follow.
When We think OF the hundreds of
battleships and destroyers of the
British navy racing back and forth
in desperate but futile attempt to
discover the blockade runner or
more properly speaking the block
ade diver we can imagine our own
navy frantically trying to protect our
coast from an enemy approaching
in myriad of undersea craft.
Rough water? Yes, but the new
ship dove down again when seas were
heavy and its trip thru quiet water
was declared uneventful.
What is to prevent the commerce
of the world and the armies of all
nations being transported underneath
the surface of the seas. II one shtR
800 feet long, 80 feet wide and carrN
ing 1000 tons of cargo can make the
trip from Germany with the entire
British navy on guard what is TO
prevent a thousand or 10000 more
and larger ones swimming with the
monsters of the sea.
This one was Tnarmed, engaged In
commerce. Suppose it had been
armed as other submarines have
Leen. Suppose fleet of them should
start from an enemy's shores to at
tack. The development of the sub.
marine is likely to become the great
discovery which is to be left to civil
ization by the necessities OF this
war.

A CURIOSITY OF POLITICS.

Vinton Eagle: Isn't it wonderful
how we praise a democrat If he
doesn't drink and cuss a republican
ii he does drink? Why is it the gen
eral sentiment and the general ex-
pectation that republican should be
a more virtuous citizen than a demo
cratic judge was lauded to the skies
because he enforced the liquor laws,
and republican county attorney
was defeated because he did not en-
force the liquor laws stricter. Ortho-
doX preachers are gathering
together in squads, battalions and
brigades and adopting resolutions
praising Meredith to the skies be-
cause he does not drink, and con-
demning the republican candidate,
who does not drink, for fear he will
drink.

Lightning Plays Queer Franks.

During the storm last Wednesday
night, lightning played queer
prank at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chr. Augustensel near the fair
grounds. The lightning hit tele-
phone wire across the street from
their residence aad followed the wire
into their basement. II burned a
hole in the furnace pipe, and from
their it went up into the kitchen
and connected with the cook stove,
one leg Of which was standing on the
register over the cellar. 1t went
through the stove and jumped over
and burned out the electric ironing
box near by. No blaze resulted,
which was fortunate.

Ninety years ago was the year
without a summer. Not many OF our
citizens remember it, but history
says that in 1916 frost occurred ev-
cry month in the year. Ice formed y
inch thick in May. Snow fell to the
depth of three inches in June. Ice
formed the thickness of window
panes in New York on the. fifth of
July The corn crop was so badly
injured by the frost that none of it
matured. The greater part of it was
cut and dried for fodder. Seed corn
for the spring os 1917 was from the
crop of 1915.

VIII Preach in Cedar Rapids.

DR.. G.. S. Lakeland of the M. E.
church of this city goes to Cedar
Rapids Saturday and will preach in
st. PauPs Methodist church next
Sunday. st. Padl's is the largest NJ.
E. church in Iowa, and it certainly
is well deserved compliment to be
asked to preach there. Dr. Lack
lands reputation as a speaker is well
known and he will no doubt fill the

were swimming in the river a short
distance below the Twin bridges.
Miss Nina Headiagton was a member

of the river, and the current is very
swift, and in this particular place it
almost runs back up stream. They
struck deep place, and both went
under. Bert Porter was short dis

wrong and he struck out for them.
He caught Miss Headington and be-

both went under. When they came up

was nearly unconscious, having swal-
lowed considerable water, but in a
few minutes was revived. Mr.. Nc
