Lineup in Game With Boone.
When the Marshalltown high school
team meets Boone on the latter's field
Saturday afternoon, it probably Will
be crippled by the loss Of ETY. Smith,
fullback. and Bulldog" Johnson, guard.
Smith Is suffering from an injured
knee, and altho the player Is Insisting
that he will be in the lineup, there Is
doubt that he will be in condition to
participate. johnson, injured In the
Oskaloosa game Saturday, when his
wrist was sprained, will not be In the
game. Owing to injuries Coach Sanford
excused the squad from practice work
Monday evening. Tonight the first
work in preparation for the Boone
game will be undertaken.
Barlow will be used at guard in sub
stitution for Johnson, and shifts Will
be necessary to fill the backfield gap
caused by the absence Of Smith. 1t Is
probable that Whitehill may be sent to
Smiths position and Davis or Bowman
used at half.
The Boone game has not been con-
sidered a hard contest, but with the
two playerk out Marshalltown may be
held to a low score. Boone Is taking
unusual interest in this game because
both Whitehill and Dixon went to
school in that city.

PROTEST ROAD BUILDING.
Bangor Farmers Demand That County
Also Build BRIDGES.

Complaints against the county build
ing a good road in Bangor township,
unless the county also went to large
expense to build additional bridges,
under which food water could run off,
was brought to the board Of super
yisors Monday by a delegation from
Bangor township. A stretch of some
thing more than quarter Of a mile
of low road in the Iowa river valley
just west Of the river, on the road run
ming due west out of Liscomb, Is be-
ing graded and raised to make a good
road, especially in wet weather when
the present road is bog. The road Is
being graded UP an average of two or
three feet. In addition to the river
bridge, there are three other bridges in
this stretch of road that give outlet to
food water.
The complaining farmers, who late
last week were on the verge Of enjo1n-
ing the county, say that the road
should not be graded up unless the
county builds two more bridges to
carry off the water. To do this would
mean a large eApen diture. The chief
complaint comes from a farmer who
has land in the low ground up stream,
which Is frequently flooded. 1t was the
plan OF, the supervisors to grade up
the road excepting in one place be-
tween two bridges, where 1t was the
intention Of paving the roadway md
leaving 1t low SO that extremely high
flood water could run over the paved
roadway and thus escape. The inten-
ton was to set white posts along the
sides Of the paved roadway and place
on them water marks to indicate to
traffic the depth Of the water on the
pavement when it was overlooked Now
that the protest has been made it is
quite probable that the supervisors will
abandon the road improvement work
and allow the road to remain as 1t is.
Members OF the board were quite POSI-
tive that the county would not go to
the heavy expense Of building the
bridges the cc:nr!a!ners thought ought
to be built, and even if they wanted
to the state highway commission would
not allow 1t to do so.

COM MISSION MEETS
Body, Appointed to Select Electors For
Grand and Petit Jurors Goes to
Work For First Time Under New
Law,


For the first time since early in the
history Of the state a new and better
method Of selecting men to serve as
grand and petit jurors in all the judi
cial districts Of the state went into
effect Monday with the first meeting
of the recently jury COM
missioners. In this county the three
commissioners appointed by the dis
trlct judges are J. b. Classen, city,
Elias Bueghly. Liscomb, and ]. L.
Wylie, Gilman.
The commissioners had already
qualified and taken the oath OF office.as
required by law which imposes fine as
penalty for failure to serve when APP
pointed. Using the poll books of the
last general election the commissioners
began Monday to select lists Of names
for the grand juries for 1918, the petit
juries for the year and talesmen. One
hundred names are to be selected for
grand Jurors, and one-seventh Of all
those who voted will be selected for
petit jurors. Twenty per cent of all
those who voted will be selected for
talesmen. The names Of those selected
for grand and petit jurors and tales
men will be copied on slips Of paper
which will be deposited in separate
sealed receptacles. From these recep-
tacles the clerk Of courts, recorder, and
auditor will draw, late this year twelve
names for the grand jury for 1918. and
whenever the Judges order 1t, the
number Of names they direct will be
drawn for trial jurors or talesmen. as
the case may be. The method OF draw
ing the names Is the same as it has
been.
1t is the purpose OF the law in the
