by the knights of Columbus, James
A. Flaherty, supreme knight will visit

ing made to give him an enthusiastic
reception. Mr. Flaherty will give
some first hand information concern
ing the welfare work of the order in
the war and also outline some of the
things contemplated in the great
work of the reconstruction period.
Prominent members of the organi-
cation from various parts of the state
will attend the reception.
Young men of mechanical turn of
mind over 80 years of age who know
how to tinker up obstreperous auto
mobiles are sorely needed by the
Knights of Columbus for overseas
service. An appeal has been made
to Joe Mccormick of Cedar Rapids,
state secretary of the X. of c., from
New York bureau, for such mechanics

Road Bills are Brewing.

The dozen or more minor road and
highway bills that have been offered
in both houses. have gotten nowhere
yet because the road committees OF
the two houses are jointly working
out a highway bill that they hope will
cover existing needs and be practical
in it's application to every community.
It is said this joint committee bill
will be ready for presentation some
time next week, and that one Of it's
provisions will be the county option
plan of permanent or paved roads af-
ter submitting the question to vote
of the people of the county in which
such road work is proposed. Numer-
Gus county road meetings have been
held over the state and this method
of determining the kind of roads want
ed in the counties has been discussed
in these meetings, it is said, with a
quite general vote in favor of the
county option plan.

But" it is asked "whv should we
pay our money to an out-of-town at
tractlOn:" The most direct answer is
because 1t keeps money in the town.
Almost everyone at this season of the
year IS planning to take vacation
and many are wise enough to take it
at nome when the Chautauuua comes
to town. For through it they enjoy all
the best in entertainment that the city
offers and are saved the expense and
inconvenience of travel. They STAY
right at home With the rest of the
family, have all the comforts of home,
and spend their vacation money right
in their own home town. IN addition
to this money the town gains from the
ChautaUQua, because every member OF
it who comes here spends money here.
| Therefore, the ChautauQua brings
money to the town and keeps money
| here. Our best advice to everyone is
to take the whole family down to the
\ big brown tent next week and enjoy
together the most delightful and prof

DOOR TO COLON|STS
carranza Says Aid Will Be Given
immigrants From War
Torn Countries
DISCUSSES OIL SITUATION

Mexico, City, Aug. 1.-Mexico will
hold open the door to nationals of all
countries, who can show that they
possess wholesome ideas of citizenship
and will not prove a disturbing element
in the nation, President Venustiano
Carranza told the correspondent of the
Associated Press today in an interview.
The presidents statement of the gov
ernment's attitude toward immigra =
tion was in response to an inquiry con =
corning declarations in the press of
Mexico City that large numbers of col =
onists were leaving their European or
Asiatic homes because of disrupted con =
ditions due to the world war.
President Carranza gave assurances
that Mexico would place no barrier
against proper immigration, and in fact
would extend all possible aid to colo
nists. Inquiries on colonization have
been received from England, France,
Canada. Germany and Russia.
Touching on the petroleum question
President Carranza asserted that the
initiative he presented to Congress last
November, which was in effect ar
amendment to Article XVII of the
constitution, probably will be considered
by that body soon. He was emphatic in
the declaration that the public press OF
the United States is being influenced by
the petroleum interests, who he said
are dstorting the facts. The presiden
continued:
"The petroleum companies have sci
out to engender i'll feeling betweer
Mexico and the United States. The.
are doing this through the medium o
sections OF the American press, whicl
are distorting facts to suit their owl
ends.
mexico is not opposed to the petro
leum companies or to any other foreigl
investors. We merely require that
such companies operate in the republic
they shall abide by our laws"
In conclusion, President Carranz
gave renewed assurance of his persona
wishes and those of the government tina
cordial relations between Mexico an,
the United States be maintained.
