1t Is really not surprising, the re-
port that 90 per cent Of the county
supervisors, who recently attended a
convention, opposed the enforcement
of the road patrol law. The super
visors have generally been opposed to
any disturbance Of the old manner OF
looking after the road making OF a
county. They fought the appointment
of engineers, the compulsory grading
and the system Of county roads. In
time their conservatism viii be over

\ GOOD WORD FOR CARP.
BURLINGTON Hawkeye,l


At Charles City the bathing beach is
said to have been closed temporarily,
because of the presence of large num-
bers of dead fish in the river. The
fish. are usually carp. no game fish be-
ing found. 1t is assumed that some
disease must have attacked the fish.
The game warden has been investi-
eating but found nothing that would
throw light upon the subject. There
was a time when that disease which
kills the carp and does not AFFECT the
other fish, would have been hailed
with delight by Iowa fishermen. But
they know better now, and the carp
has become valuable as food fish. II
some Iowa people still refuse to eat
carp. there are millions Of people in
markets farther east who are glad to
get carp and pay good money for the
same. That fact has changed the
opinion Of many Iowans, as to the at
one time detested carp.

FINED FOR FLAG DISSERTATION.
Washinston's Birthday Anniversary

~oVoTtiSemont IeaoS TO SFFeSt.
Muscatine. Feb. 23-Its all right to
be patriotic, especially on Washing
toms birthday but unfortunately Uncle
Sam has placed certain restricted
limits upon the extent which that pa
triotism may go. For Instance, it's all
right to display the American flag any
time and anywhere In fact it's rec
commended, but again there are limits.
And sometimes when one has only a
patriotic and advertising instinct one
Is yet made the victim Of circumstance
and alleged false assurances.
This was the experience yesterday
morning cf Hern GreEnmel, prominent
local cigar dealer who found himself

United States flag. Homer Burk was
