Belgian hares may be managed sue

The rabbitry may occupy part or NIL
of n barn or shed, or be built in shell

buildings or walls. The indoor rnb-

place should be well ventilated, but
not subject to drafts of cold or damp
air. These may be prevented by venti.

elbowed pipes passing through the
sides Of the building and reaching a
height Of two or three feet above the
openings.
Hutches.
Hutches for the Belgian hare should
be somewhat larger than those intend

main the same as previous years-the
tax being based on the horsepower

PRESENT ROAD
LAW FAVORED
IOWA BANKERS ASSOCIATION
WOULD HAVE HIGHWAY COM
MISSION RETAINED.

A resolution adopted by the low
Bankers association favOring the pref
ent road law as against change Il
the old manner or some new untried
plan, makes plain the feeling OF thu
bankers as regards road legislation
The resolution follows:
The Iowa Bankers association Is 8
progressive organization. We believ.
in greater Iowa; we believe In COZ
structive and more efficient road legis
uation for Iowa and are opposed to re-
dictionary measures.
The present road law has proven tt
be good one and the road work &C
complished under its provisions are
commendable, providing, as it has, uni
formity in the construction of bridget
culverts, grades and drainage and thS
classification Of roads, all of which
have accomplished wonders, and lowe
should retain central directing com
mission in order to maintain unil
formity and efficiency In the state. We
believe, however, that the law is sust
ceptible to minor amendments and
simplification In some respects.
The present drag law Is not sue,
cess and should be made more specific.
We believe in the patrol system for
care of the highway, especially appliI
cable to the county road system.
!, We believe that provision should be
made in order that no part of the fed
eral aid apportionment to Iowa WOULD
be forfeited. This might be accom-
plished by state aid fund taken from
the motor vehicle tax In amount equal
to the federal aid apportionment, and
approved projects in the different
counties worked out, the county to pay
one-third, the state one-third and fed'
eral aid one-third.
We believe authority should be Civ

and special districts, the right by vote

BROTHERHOOD TO
BE TAUGHT BY DAY

The Brotherhood class of the First
Methodist Sunday school decided up
on forward movement and rally plan
Sunday in connection with the cam
paign now being conducted in that
church. Heretofore the class has met
with the general Sunday school and
gathered for it's study of the theme
when the other classes dispersed for
that purpose. 1t was decided yesterday
that hereafter the class would meet
In the auditorium of the church at
9:45 a. m. and handle such business as
might come before it in the prosecu-
ton Of it's work at that time.
DR.. Day, who always attends the
opening session of the Sunday school,
will come to the brotherhood class at
10 o'clock and take charge of the les
son. In this way it is expected to in
terest all men not attending other Sun
day schools or connected with other
churches and all First Methodist men
not connected with other classes in the
Sunday school. DR.. Day has had wide
experience in leading lunches of men
in this sort Of work and it is expected
that the class will double or triple its
attendance and membership at once.
81 believe in mems classes said DR..
Day to a Courier representative, "and
I think that the mems organization in
our Sunday schools should be so de-
veloped that they would be as out
standing in church matters as Com
mercial clubs and Retail Merchants
associations are in civic affairs. Men
who are busy need the fellowship and
inspiration which broadens life and
deepens mans serious views of duty
and social contact and I am sure that
l shall be greatly stimulated by an as
ISOLATION such as the new plan pro.
poses. I shall certainly welcome all
whom have natural right to ask to
come, at the session next Sunday and
yet I would have all understand that
we do not seek single man who has
obligations elsewhere in other
churches"
