Special to Times Republican.
Des Mones, April with the road
law UP for consideration In the house
and soon to come up in the senate OPP
ponents OF the law are giving their at
tention to the proposal OF amendments
calculated to weaken the law IL not to
destroy it. However, the friends Of
the measure are confident that 1t has
sufficient support to weather the OPP
position and believe that as IL is fin
ally adopted it will be the most pro-
gressive measure along road lines ever
adopted by the Iowa legislature.
There Is apparently disposition in
many quarters to escape the heavy ex-
pense Of hard surfacing by graveling.
The law as drawn of course admits of
graveling after proper grading and
draining. t;raveling of roads would
be considered long step In advance
in many counties. but up in Greene
county. where they have had graveled
roads for fifteen years. they have not
been a success. They are superior TO
dirt roads but they are not perma-
nent.
AT least this Is the testimony Of
Senator Walter Anderson, Of Greene
county, whose home has been in that
county all Of his life. Senator An
derson says that while gravel roads
are of course much superior to the av>
erage Iowa dirt road and Greene coun
ty has had probably the best roads in
the state, nevertheless they are in no
sense permanent roads.
Many of those favoring hard sur
faced roads point to the experience
in Polk county On the Camp Dodge
road A portion of Beaver avenue
leading to Camp Dodge at the time
the big cantonment site was selected
was a graveled road. 1t did. not stand
up under the traffic any time at all
and the government required the
building of new paved road to the
cantonment.
One of the amendments proposed to
the road law as drawn up by Repre-
sentative ID. o. Stone, Of Sioux lcoun-
ty. provides FOR voting on the question
as TO whether or not county shall
adopt surfacing for the primary road
system
BaIkema Opposed to Gravel.
Senator Nicholas Balkema, Of Sioux
county. the veteran road man of the
legislature and chairman of the SON
ate highways committee. declared to-
day that he would advise his people
against grave, road.
The gravel roads have proven I'M
satisfactory wherever they have been
tried" he said. I'm Greene county they
have proven failure and the same is
true UP in Black Hawk county in the
vicinity of Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
In winter like the one We have just
experienced they are soon warn away.
Hard surfaced roads will so enhance
the value of any mans farm that he
can not afford to do without them, in
the opinion of Senator Balkema. The

SAYS BASEBALL IS TRUST
BALTIMORE FEDERALS SUE
FOR 100000 DAMAGES
Former Director Says There Were Not
Enough First-CInss Players to

tBv Associated rress.l

ia WASHINGTON. March 26.-Testimony
apparently designed TO prove or
SEaniZed baseball "A monopoly within
sthe meaning Of tho Sherman antitrust
sact. was introduced today in the trial
lin the District OF Columbia supreme
Court in the suit for damages of the
Baltimore Federal League club against
the National and AmGrican Lea cues
Sand certain officials OF the former Fed
seral League. The Baltimore club is
J seeking TO recover damages of 5000 600.
Counsel for the Baltimore club
called two Witnesses today. +. Otto
knabe. assistant manager of the Chi
&cago Nationals and formerly manager
win Goldman. former director Of the
complainant club.
4 The former said he had signed nu-
merous players who came to the Ealti-
more club. and the club was compelled
to offer unusually large salaries. This
was due, he said. 10 realization by the
players they were going to a new or
ganizaiion, and feared II anything hap
pened to the new venture they might
to the ranks OF organized baseball.
Both witnesses were asked many
questions regarding the reserve clause
ball players, Goldman asserting it was
through these clauses the .organiza
ton maintained control OF players
from one season 10 another.
In response 10 questions regarding
1.-THE relative value of baseball players.
tSoidman gave II as his opinion tina
actually there Mere not enough real
frst-cEass baseball players in the coun-
Try TO form one team. He cNpla incd
the system through which players arc
purchased and drafted, and agreed. on
cross examination, that the Federal
League. in paying bis salaries to Ma
tional and American League stars
who jumped TO the Fedcrals did not
have TO take into consideration the
torigindl draft price of the individuals.
George Wharton Pepper. counsel for
organized ba :. ball interests, asked the
witness whether he considered that
part Of the salary paid payers was
given them in consideration of tho
reservation the clubs held upon their
services for the next season. Mr.. Gold
man said ii was not his understanding
The salary OF bail players was so di-
rided. +, lie said tho Federal League

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SPRAYS AND IN
HALERS.

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands Of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder Of your days hawk
ing and splitting, with no relief
in sight from inf1amed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
OF course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time, make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re-
suits. If you are still content
to depend upon the use of
sprays, douches. inhalers, jel-
lies and other like remedies by
themselves, that are applied to
the surface and cannot reach
below it, then make up your
mind now that your Catarrh
will remain a life companion
and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself, and not its symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
Of course you know that when
you are cured Of any disease it's
symptoms will disappear. Ca
tarrh manifests itself by in
flammation of the delicate
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1919-03-27
CATARRH IS
NOT INCURABLE

membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid Of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender
and delicate membranes of the
nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
blood remedy, made from roots
and herbs direct from the for
est, which combat promptly any
disease germs or impurities in
the blood. This great remedy
has been used for more than
fifty years, with most satisfac-
tory results. 1t has been sue
cessfully used by those afflicted
with even the severest cases of
Catarrh, because it drives out
from the blood the Catarrh
germs, and eliminates every
foreign substance from the
blood. S. S. S. is sold by drug
gists everywhere.
For the benefit Of those af-
fiicted with Catarrh or other
blood diseases, we maintain a
medical department in charge
Of a specialist skilled in these
diseases. If you will write us
fully, he will give your case
careful study. and write you
just what your own individual
case requires. No charge is
made for this service. Address
