Eldora, Dec 4-The second chapter Of
the enforcement Of patriotism was ne
acted here Monday and drew a far
larger crowd than was present at the
beginning of things Sunday when
Herman Panther, well to do farmer
was forced to salute the flag and sub
scribe to the Red Cross work. On
Monday morning the same farmer
came to town and after advising with
man here, notified the bank upon
which the check was drawn not to pay
it. About noon three auto loads OF
determined men went out to the far
mer's home and brought the thorough
ly frightened farmer to town and in
sisted that he should tell the com.
mittee who It was advised him not to
pay the check. The farmer said that It
was DR.. c. c. Gethman of, Eldora.
Accordingly when the doctor arrived
in town from drive in the country.
he, too, was met by the same COM.
mittee and asked If he had advised
Panther not to make good the 500
check. DR.. Gethman said that he had
with the understanding from Panther
that he (Panthen) had not made GER
tain unpatriotic statements against
United States soldiers. DR.. Gethman,
however,, stated that he, himself, was a
patriotic American eitizen-that he was
born in this country and had always
obeyed the laws and intended so to do
hereafter
Before the conference with DR..
Gcthman was concluded an organiza-
ton. to be known as the Eldora Patriot
ic Association, was formed with the
following as officers: President, Aynaer
D. Davis; vice president. Herbert A.
HUFF; secretary, G. o. Ryan; treasurer,
DR.. Geth1nan. Glen Jones acted as
temporary secretary at the meeting.
The object of the organization Is to
promote patriotism. Any member of
the organization who hears any one
making sighting or unpatriotic re-
marks regarding the government of the
United States is to report to the
society and the offender will forthwith
be called to account on to explain il
possible.
The result OF the organization Mon
day has had the effect of causing Uni
ted States flags to float to the breeze
where none We're in evidence before
and of causing those who were half
hearted toward the United States gov
eminent before to show their colors

SECRETARY OF STATE
LAYS BLAME TO LAW
Points to Many Ways by Which Auto
Owner Can Avoid Paying License
Money-Forehande Car Owners Al
ready Coming In With Their Money
For Ensuing Year-Penalty April l..

Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines Dec. 4. With scarcely
a month remaining before the auto
tax for 1918 IS due there yet remains
in back auto license money to be col
lected by the state some 100000. This
is the estimate of Secretary of State
the back taxes.
Since the special effort was begun
some three months ago to collect auto
license money due the state only about
$4,000 in back license money has been
collected Secretary Allen blames the
law which permits one auto license
number to be retained for three years
without requiring new number to be
largely responsible.
There are so many ways an auto
owner can avoid paying his license
money when there is no evidence on
his car 10 show that he has not COM
piled with the law" declared Secretary
Allen in discussing the matter. IF a
man is inclined to avoid paying his
auto license fee he finds ways TO do it.
We have notified the county attorneys
in the various counties 10 collect this
money but in many instances but little
has been done"
Secretary Allen says that some Of
the money can he secured when the
men VINO have sold their old cars 70
other people come in to get license
numbers for their new cars. He also
hopes TO find other means of eventu-
ally tracing down all those who have
not paid up their auto license money.
Many Of the forehanded auto owners
are already coming in with their auto
license money or sending it in for the
coming year. The auto licenses fall
due on Jan. !. Notices were sent out
early in November TO auto owners TO
pay up their licenses for 1918 by the
first Of the year. A penalty attaches

.PRUNE BEFORE BUDS SWELL
Trees Can Be Put in Fairly Good
Shape by Careful Workout Out
Dead or injured Wood.

CBy W. G. BRIEFLY, Minnesota Expert
ment Station.)
The orchard trees should be pruned
before the buds begin to swell. Trees
can be put into fairly good shape by
careful work, but this must not be
done all at once if it means the re-
moyal of a considerable quantity of
wood. If properly done there will be
no evil results and the work of spray
ing, thinning and harvesting will be
made easier.
Make all cuts close up so that no
stubs are left to die and start decay
in the heart of the tree. After the
wound is made, if it is more than three
quarters of an inch across, be sure to
give it a good coat Of paint, or Of melt
ed grating wax.
Cut all dead or injured wood for a
start and then remove some of the
tangled crossing branches in the cen
ter. This will open up the center and
give fruit of better color on the shady
side of the tree. Some heading-back
may be needed, but it will be best to
leave that for another year if much
wood has been removed. Following
this plan will give moderate pruning,
which will give best results.

CHAPTER XII.
Nan Drifts


Without going in to speak to Gale
whom Bull Page, his nurse, reported
very cross but not hurt much, Nan
left her packet for him and rode
home. Her Uncle Duke was in town.
She had the house to herself, with
only Bonita, the old Mexican serving
woman, and Nan ate her late supper
alone.
The longer she pOndered on De
Spain and his dilemma-and her own
the more she worried. When she
went to bed, upstairs in her little
gable room, she tossed on her pillow
till a resolve seized her to go up again
to his hiding place and see what she
could see or hear-possibly, if one
were on foot, she could uncover a plot
She dressed resolutely, buckled on
A holster to her side, and, slipping a
reyolver-a new one that Gale had
given her-into it for protection, she
walked softly downstairs and out of
doors. The night air was clear, with
a three-quarter moon well up in the
sky. She took her way rapidly along
the trail to the mountain, keeping as
much as possible within the great
shadows cast by the towering peaks.
Breathing stealthily and keyed to

modest pride. "He thought all the

ridden over. Strangest shock of all
that this man of all other men should !
profess to care for her. She had |
shown anger when McAlpin dared |
speak of it; at least, she thought she |
had. And she still did not know how
sufficiently to resent the thought Of |
such audacity on De SPANS part. /
This was, to say the least, further a..
awkward complication for her feelings. |
She already had enough to confuse
them.
