Call Attention to Bad Roads.

bad Roads" columns promise to be
come almost as universal in the Iowa
newspaper as the good roads column
has been for several years past. The
mere fact that the bad roads column
is developing is interesting comment
airy upon the present stage of good
reads movement. A few years ago
bad roads were so universal and good
roads SO exceptional that it was quite
natural for editors to establish good
roads columns.
: Today, the general average condt'
ton of Iowa roads is such that it is
just as natural for the editors to es.
tablish bad roads columns 10 call
special attention OF the road officials
as to the bad spots that mar the
otherwise good roads. The general
average of roads is good. 1t is the bad
spots and the neglected stretches that
need attention, says the state highway
commission. 1t is the province of the
bad roads column to call these places
to the attention of the road officials
and there is a reason to believe that
the publicity will have good effect
on the Iowa roads.

POLO CONTEST.
PROVES EXCITING.
Contest Staged by Athletic Associa-
ton Last Friday Proves Good
Drawing Card.
DARE DEVIL DRIVERS RISK LIVES.
MalIet Men Equally Immune From
Death Do Tango, fox-Trot and
Other Acrobatic Stunts.

Under the auspices of the Denison
Athletic Association, the people of
Denison and vicinity were given an
opportunity to witness some real and
extraordinary sport last Friday after.
noon, when an auto polo contest was
staged on the athletic park grounds
lat the college. The event was quite
well advertised and Notwithstanding
the big base ball tournament at Dun
lap that drew we'll from the west end
Of the county. there was good crowd
present, and everyone thoroughly en-
joyed the contest.
The attraction was: billed as Han
kinson's Original Auto Polo Contest
and there were seven Ford cars ON the
ground, stripped for the game. All OF
these cars were not used at one time,
but were kept in readiness in case OF
damage to car participating in the
game. And they were sure needed, for
the game had hardly started when
bang" and off went a wheel. Of
course another car was needed. Each
car carried driver and a mallet-man,
and the drivers were experts, weaving
their cars in and out, making almost
impossible short turns and cuts. rae.
ing backwards to block the other fell
low, forward to counter, while an OPP
ponent was racing madly across the
field, turning now on three wheels,
and more often on two, exerting his
utmost skill and ability in his efforts
to throw the score of the game to his
team.
The mallet-men were equally alert,
doing twO-steps, castle-Walks and
tango around the frame work of the
car in frantic efforts to drive the ball
straight past the opposing team;
through to their respective goal.
There was certainly plenty of action
on the part of the mallet.men and the
drivers. Every minute was filled with
it. Wheels clashed, and every now and
then there was spill, causing col
lapsing Of wheels and tires, and II
car turned completely over, the game
went on as before. 3s vi U.s.
AS Editor Brown, Of the Harlan
Republican says: Eve don't know
who invented the game, whether II
was criminologist or q, half-wits
without doubt as method of brain
torture and as developer Of quick
wit, bodily dexterity and hairraising
episodes, the game was without an
equal in the world of civilized sport. !"
During the game one Of the contest
ants was thrown from the car and
quite badly injured, but the incident
only served to enthuse the crowd fur
Their, and the other members Of the
team were cheered on to victory or
defeat.
Before the contest, the new Denison
band rendered number of musical
numbers on the streets, and q line of
march was formed and moved to the
park. The net receipts gained by
the Athletic Association amounted to
park The total receipts at the gate
amounted to $279.5O. of which amount
the contestants received 5000, and the
expense amounted to $3.50, leaving a
balance for the Athletic association of
$500.

At one place we saw ahead of us a
car stopped in the road and Fred said
evidently some one else was having
trouble. They signaled us to- stop and
it turned out that their trouble was
-
get some Fred said, Eyes, sure" and
then they all wondered how they could
get it out, but finally thought of some
way to take the machinery apart and
tap it to the extent of glass fruit jar
full. Then our friends of the road
wondered if we could possibly have a
small funnel, which we did, for had
put one in to use filling our alcohol
stove Finally everything was fixed
up satisfactorily. Fred would not ac-
cept pay and these people were very
grateful for the favor, hoping to meet
us again when they might return it,
but wishing us never to be out OF gas.
Thursday about 1890 a. m. we ar
rived at home and glad to see it again.
The auto registered 2S7 miles going
and 2SS returning, which allows a
stretch of one mile for the mud hole.
John and I arc still thinking of our
trip to the beautiful Minnesota lakes
and dreaming of some time having a
humble habitation on one of their
shores, then we shall have picnic ev-
cry day and you must all come.
