tile CONTRACT LET
JOINT COMMISSION DECIDES ON
CEMENT TILE-DIG Up
OLD SAMPLE.

The Sioux City Concrete Pipe com
pany was awarded the contract today
by the commissioners of Lake and
Moody counties in joint session here.
The amount of the contract is $42.-
600 f. o. b.. the stations of Wentworth
and Colman. There are over A.
miles of this tile, not considering the
open ditch work, and the tile ranges
in sizes from 8 to 80 inches. Ii is TO
be made according to specifications
and under the direction of the Amer
lean Society of Testing Materials, of
Ames, la.
The membership of both boards
was present in full. Giles w. Petit
grew. Chris Olson and John Schmidt.
commissioners Of Moody county.
Auditor Buck was with them. The
Lake county board coordinated with
them, Nj. Cosgrove being the chair
mar of the joint board.
The decision as TO whether to en-
ploy cement or clay in the construe-
tion of the tile for this drainage sys-
TEN has been a question which the
commissioners found difficulty i'm
solving. At their last meeting they
could come to no agreement on the
question, and resolved to investigate
the matter of its durability. A repre-
sentative OF the concrete tile com
pany, r.. w. Miller, visited the farm
of Jacob Warnes. dug up samples Of
tile which had lain in alkali soil for
seven years and found it better than
it was when planted. The represent
ative also secured an affidavit as to
the time il had been laid in the soil.
He exhibited a specimen TO the COM
m~issioners, and they were convinced
that cement tile Is as good for the
purpose as clay.
The contract for the labor of dig
ging was awarded last week to f. A.
Thompson, of Greene, Ia, involving
$32,75 for digging and laying tile,
and covering again. Added TO this Is
the sum of $500 for hauling the
tile from the railway.

TO HAVE INSPECTOR
PAVING TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK
TO EMPLOY EXPERIENCED
INSPECTOR.

c. III. Atkinson, head of the paving
concern of that name, is in the city
today on business in connection with
the work. He says that actual work
of laying the concrete base for the
paving will be commenced next week.
The first street to be accorded this
base will be Second street NE. The
curb and gutter for this street has
been done for some time. That of
the northern portion of Egan avenue
will soon be done-it Is practically
finished now except the curb for the
central parking.
Up to this time the city has not
had an inspector for the work, believ,
ing that the curb and gutter was not
of so great importance. When the
base for the paving is laid, however,
the situation is different, and an in
spector is desired. The paving COM
pany themselves object to doing this
work without inspection, though the
city is inclined to rely on their care
and accuracy in mixing materials and
doing the work of laying the con-
crete. Within a day or two a man
experienced in the work will be Sc
cured to inspect proportions, mate
rails and work, who will have charge
of the base construction.

REG|MENTAL Band
ENTERTAINED AT MESS BY COM
PANY E-CONCERT HERE
NEXT SATURDAY.

The South Dakota regimental band
came by train from Howard this
morning under the leadership and di-
rectorship of Maj. A. T. Ireland, and
between trains gave a concert on the
street. During the entertainment a
collection was taken, which will be
placed in a fund to accompany the
band on their future travels with the
regiment. The amount raised in the
short time given was $61.S5. After
the concert the band and company
marched to the company quarters at
the Normal school, where they were
entertained by the company.
Crowds gathered on the street in
anticipation of the musical treat
were not disappointed in its realiza-
ton. The musical talent is said by
those who know to be excellent. and
Mr.. Ireland is an instructor and con
ductor too well known to discuss.
Following the rendition of the
most excellent program, Company f.
was called together by bugle. The
band led the procession, followed by
the new company flag. then the com

mess hall in the Normal building.

be assembled. Saturday they will
return to Madison on their way to
Howard. At $50 Saturday morning
they will give a concert in the Lii
brary park. 2S pieces strong. Every
body is invited to attend this con
cert, as it is really good music.
Again in the afternoon the band
congregated in the Library park and

this time was not of so long a dura-
ton as the morning one. Many REQ

pleasure as did those in the morning.

E GETS FLAG
CEREMONY OF PRESENTATION
LAST NIGHT-NANN WIT
NESS PROGRAM.

Company + was presented a beau
tiful silk flag last night with appro-
pirate ceremonies. The presentation
was made in the open air of the Nor
NAL campus where a temporary plat
form had been erected close TO the
high ampus flag staff. Mayor Jas.
Robertson. made the presentation
speech. and Lieut.. V. r. Walden ac-
cepted the flag in the name of the
company. Besides the fun muster
of the Lake county contingent of the
company, there were many citizens OF
Madison present to witness the i'm
pressive affair.
The company formed at the front
of their quarters and marched to a
position directly i'm front of the plat
form. which had been erected for the
occasion and decorated with the col
ors. Having no band. patriotic
pieces were played on a Victrola.
Or. j. w. Heston had charge OF the
program.
Prof. s. T. May delivered the ad-
dress of the evening. The speaker
called attention to the men and their
mission in a foreign land i'm tho in
terests of democracy. He gave a
brief history of the freedom of the
individual for which the flag has
been the emblem. The colonial
fathers who enunciated the principle
OF a government by the people were
pioneers in demotracy-no govern
ment in the world was then conduct
ed thus. And the form has gained
ground in the world until now what
was a few years ago thought TO be the
least enlightened of nations now were
the experiment.
At the close of the Napoleonic
wars four great nations formed what
was called the holy alliance. This
was not for freedom Of the people.
but TO cement more firmly in power
the powerful missionaries. They
were Russia. Prussia, France and
Austria. They attained their pur-
pose Of retaining. at least until the
present time the object of that ALI
ance. Whether hat condition con
tinues depends ON the success Of the
present war.
The speaker recounted the events
of our wars for freedom Of peoples
and ideas. Our revolutionary war
was against the tyranny of an Eng
lish monarch. The wal of 1912 was
for the freedom of the seas. and to
keep a foreign nation from impress
ing u seamen The principle of
states rights gained in strength. and
together with the cause of slavery.
caused the great conflict. The speak
er pointed out that this, too. is a war
between the powers of a great aris-
tocratic bureaucracy and individual
freedom. The Monroe doctrine has
worked its effect till now. And the
present fight for this country is to
maintain its command.
Prof. May pointed out that as we
eat our Thanksgiving dinner the men
gathered before him. lying in long
lines on the green. with hundreds OF
thousands of their fellows, would
probably be i'm the trenches i'm France.
He voiced the belief and faith Of the
people when he said that he thought
they would do theirsduty.

character Mayor James Robertson
