SMALL ATTENDANCE
AT ROAD MEETING
Session at Court House Last Night
Called by Farmers Association
Did Not Have Much of an
Audience.
ISSUES ARE RAISE
Frank Stewart of Charlton Made Prin.
cipaI Address and Asked About
Some Matters of Taxation
and the Like.

A handful of voters attended the
meeting last night at the Lee county
court house, called by a committee or
farmers for the purpose of discussing
the road proposition. Some OF those
in attendance were frankly favorable
to the road proposition passing today,
and were there simply to see what the
speakers were going to say.
The meeting was gotten up at the
instance of l.. NJ. Shook who was
here last week to arrange for the
meeting He was visibly disappointed
at the smaIIness of the crowd.
The address of the evening was
made by Frank Stewart of Charlton,
Iowa. He had pamphlet containing
the provisions of the road law, and
pointed to its forty-one pages and
asked if anyone thought he could
digest that law in few minutes
time. In his talk Mr.. Stewart did not
refer tc the provisions of the law to
any extent,
He did not think that the federal aid
and the auto tax would be sufficient
to hard surface all of the roads
planned for, and he was much wor-
ried about the burden of taxation he
thought would be imposed on the
farmer as the result of the vote.

to rob him Of fortune IN copper
and plotted his death. This Is the
thrilling theme of the William Fox
super-production, wolves OF the
Night" in which William Farnum
stars at the Grand tonight and to-
morrow Nothing this sterling actor
has ever done surpasses his work in
this latest picture.
William Farnum puts one Of the
most dramatic and intense fights
ever staged into the thrilling ending,
a fight into which he throws him
self with the agility of an athlete
and the skill of champion. AS the
desperate man, resolved to win back
wife. child and fortune from devil
ish schemers, he locks himself in an
office, attacks three who attempt to
coerce him with pistol, and there,
in as stirring an encounter as has
ever been picturized, battles them.
This fight is one more demonstra-
4ion of the surprises Farnum has up
his sleeve. 1t proves that Farnum,
popular handsome, magnetic though
he is. is no mere matinee idol, but
mans man for all his charm, and
a man OF power into the bargain.
There will be no advance in prices
for this special picture.
