IOWA AROUSED TO
the VALUE OF HARD
SURFACED ROADS.

The state of Iowa is in the lime
light in connection with the ma
tional demand for road improve
ment which is sweeping the coun-
try at the present time. Iowa,
though one of the richest farming
states in the union, is away be-
hind the times in the develop
ment of her roads, but the people
are now awake to what they are
losing in this regard and the
state legislature is expected to re-
spond to the popular demand and
amend the road laws so that the
building of hard-surfaced roads
may be financed by bond issues in
the various counties.
The rapid development of the
Lincoln highway and the profit
liable return which is coming to
the state as a result of the rout-
ing OF that thoroughfare across
Iowa has been responsible to
large degre for the general in
tcrest which has been aroused.
Iowa has both the Lincoln high
way and the Jefferson highway
and is certain to enjoy a goodly
return for the money spent in
their further improvement.
Il. Il. Meredith, president of the
Jefferson Highway association.
sums up the situation in this way:
you may be sure that we are 60
ing to do everything possible to
get the proper legislation next
winter to provide for county bond
issues. This legislation is prac-
tically assured now because the
whole state is sufficiently aroused
and sentiment crystallized so that
the legislators can have no doubt
about what the majority of the
people of the state want. The
Greater Iowa association will
spend the most of its energy for
next year and longer if necessary
in the interest of good roads, and
they will concentrate next winter
ION getting a good road bond law"

OBJECT TO GASOLINE BATHS
Mexieans Not Fond Of Treatment But
Are Forced to Submit to It by
Uncle Sans Army sanitarIans.

How Uncle Sans soldiers connected
with General Pershing's expedition in
Mexico have been protected from dis
ease and discomfort by forcing Mexi-
can laborers with whom they are
forced to come into contact to take
gasoline baths is told by a civilian
physician who made a trip from the
border to General Pershing's head
quarters In touring car bearing two
officers in charge of a motor truck
caravan transporting supplies to Per-
shing's men.
The military road, which has been
built since the American troops went
in, is in many places almost impas-
sable. In order to get over the bad
places two Of the 20 trucks were filed
with Mexican laborers hired by the
United States government to help
stalled trucks out of trouble. They,
Of course, came in contact with the
Americans who operated the trucks,
and 1t was necessary for the army
surgeons to make sure that they were
in good health. They were typical
Mexican laborers and, therefore, none
too clean. The army sanitarians also
had reason to believe that some OF
them were infested with insect foes
that might disturb the peace of tNeiE
slumber. Accordingly, before the la.
borers were finally accepted, they
were vaccinated against smallpox and
inOculated with a typhoid fever pre-.
ventive. This, of course, they did moi
like. And after they had been con.
vinced Of necessity of protection from
sickness the subject of insects was
brOaehed. The sanitarians had decid,
ed that the only safe course was to
bathe each Mexican in gasoline. This
order the laborers naturally resented
but no time was to be lost in argu
ment, and they were won over by
short but effective means. One by
one they were stripped, and both thel

II plead guilty as charged" he said,
bowing profoundly and grinning some
what sheepishly and boyishly. "You,

new detective unraVels the mysteries
and seeks to determine the manner
in which fifty big factories, with 1907
900 men on their pay rolls, combine to
stife the small competitor who would
enter their field
1t was such an assignment as this
that one morning came over to New
York In the mail from Washington
and fell to the lot Of Special Agent
Billy Gard. The instructions said:
"The Northern Pulp & Paper Manu-
facturers' association will hold its con-
vention at the Waldorf on the 18th,
Goth, 21st and 22d. 1t is suspected
Of being conspiracy in restraint Of
trade. Its deliberations are in secret
and the membership is unknown. AS
certain all action of the convention
and procure list of the members of
the association"
This action on the part Of the gov
ernment was occasioned by complaints
from publishers OF newspapers
throughout the country which seemed
to indicate that there was an under
standing among manufacturers as to
prices that should be charged for
white paper. If there was such an
agreement that prevented competition,
it was probably reached through some
association of which all were mem.
bers. There was the Northern Pulp
G. Paper Manufacturers association.
Its deliberations and its membership
were secret. This fact put it under
suspicion. Was it fixing prices?
To answer this question, Special
Agent Billy Gard went on his vain
glorious debauch Of assuming an i'm
portance that was not his due. He
unleashed that tendency that is within
us all and let it run riot to the limit
But back of the descending there was
an object to be accomplished.
"You are President Van Dorm Of the
association, believer" said Gard as he
presented himself to that individual
