Rev. l. B. Torrison then delivered
an address in English on the deceas
ed as a pioneer who had succeeded
in retaining the good traits Of his
ancestors, one who had retained d
knowledge of their language and re-
spect for their civilization and tradi-
lions and yet at the same time had
become a thorough patriotic Ameri

the life of the deceased could be ap-
propriately summed up in the fol-
lowing couplet from a Norwegian
poet:
AT naar federne sjaa at paa jordi,
Del kan kjenna sit folk og sit land. :"
Rev. Nordby, president of the

GOOD ROADS AND PROSPERITY.
Observations of Man Who Has
Travelled About the Country
Considerably.

The relation between the above
two factors is closer than some peo-
pie think. The subject is suggested
by the observations given us of
man who has travelled about the
country considerably this summer,
and observed social and economic
conditions. He spoke particularly
of one section with which he was for
merly familiar, and which some years
ago was noteworthy for agricultural
prosperity and had some vogue as
summer resort.
This summer the farms seemed
less well cultivated than formerly.
Where there was once an abundance
Of field crops, now more land was
given over to mere pasturage. There
were good many vacant houses.
From nearly all his informants he
got the impression that the condition
of the roads had something to do
with it. 1t appears that in this Sec
ton little has been done at highway
improvement. In a belated way,
few of the main lines of travel have
now been improved. But the cross
country roads are almost is a state
of nature. In dry weather they are
heaps of pulverized dust, in wet
weather sloughs, where an automo-
bile would go in almost to the hubs.
Apparently the people who used
to come for summer rest to this sec
ton now own automobiles. They
have become disguised with a region
that gives them so unsatisfactory a
chance to use their motors. The
farmers have to haul produce to the
railroads over rough and rutty roads
that often are nearly impossible.
Even when the weather is favorable
the trucking takes long time. At
the present high cost of farm help.
it is big charge on their produc-
.tion.
There is a lesson in this for all
who begrudge highway taxes. A Sec
ton that is not improving its roads
Jas rapidly as the rest of the country
is getting to be as badly off as a dis
trict without any railroads.

The Fool Auto Driver.

Anamosa Eureka:-Wm. Ristine
of this city, and Henry Dierks of Am
Der had an accident last Thursday
afternoon. A Ford runabout in
which they were riding turned turtle.
They were driving near the fair
grounds when another car came up.
Dierks opened up the throttle and
commenced to run ar pace that was
far too swift. Ristine admonished
him to be careful and finally opened
up the car door and jumped when he
saw that a tip-over was coming. As
he jumped the Ford also jumped and
rolled over, pinning Dierks under
meath the car. When Ristine struck
the gound he fell. but was uninjur-
ed and picking himself up went to
Dierk's assistance. The runabout
was upside down The engine was
running TO beat tan bark and the
automobile wheels were spinning in
the air. Ristine shut off the power,
and raised the car so that Dierks
could crawl out. Dierks was appar.
emily without injury.

GOOD CROP OF GRAPES.
Plums, However, Will be Short, Ac-
cOrGing to Wesley Greene,
State HortiCulturist.

Iowa will have but few plums, but
a good crop OF grapes, according TO
the report issued by Wesley Greene,
state horticulturist
Conditions at present indicate
there will be the following per cent
of a full crop:
Summer apples 80, fall apples 50,
winter apples 40, pears IS, Ameri-
cana plums 81, Domestica plums 50,
japanese plums ., grapes %.
The average for all fruits is 81
per cent or 10 per cent below the
average for the last fifteen years for
said Mr.. Greene.
The grape crop is light in east
ern Iowa, but nearly normal in the
western section; the quality will be
better than last year.
Apple crop will be about one!half
Of what it was last year. Sprayed
orchards will yield 80 to 60 per cent
Of full crop, while neglected Or
chards will not produce more than
) to 20 per cent of marketable fruit.

Relieved of S2o 90 at Ossian.

Evenson, the fish peddler was re-
lieved of $4,000 in money Monday
afternoon. He had his wallet in his
inside coat pocket and left the coat
lying in the livery barn. Later when
he went to get his coat he found that
the wallet had been emptied of its
money and the empty wallet placed
back in the pocket. Mr.. Evenson IS
a cripple and an old man, and it is
hard to believe that man could stoop
to steal money from a man in Even
sons circumstances. The thief ought
to get thirty years for a crime OF this
kind. -Ossian Bee.

CertQin-teed
Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft aSphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by THE General
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEEDis such that
it is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness Il, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roofngs and building papers.
