# But there is need for some better
traffic regulations as to crossings, and
in these narrow streets the wonder
is that the damage is not greater.
Two cars coming at full speed and
both blowing and neither checking
up if both would happen at the cross
ing at the same time we do not see
how it would be possible to prevent
a crash and great damage.
In our narrow streets, and they BE-
ing close together, it might be well
to have the streets so numbered thaS
cars would 60 only in one direction
on each street. That is done in some
places we are told, and it works very
well and conduces to safety. That
would prevent congestion on many
of the busy streets, and then the
speed regulation should be observes
more strictly than it is.
We notice that the state highway
commission is talking about resulat-
ing the speed of heavy trucks and
other cars on the state roads, ard II
it is not done there will be no roads
very long after they are built.

J 1T the real speech on the topic, anc

Mason degree on five candidates, and
it being the last big gathering before a

vented the Riceville brothers from at

Speaker at Vernon springs Celebration

Speaker at Vernon Springs e. .ebration
In securing Hon. c. w. Hunt for
the Fourth OF July celebration
and picnic at Vernon Springs the
Howard County Farm Bureau was
fortunate in obtaining one of the
foremost speakers Of the state. Mr..
Hunt is practical farmer and an ex
member of the legislature. He was
unanimously elected president of
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
last winter but before his election
the Howard County Farm Bureau
representatives had already secured
his promise to come to this county.
Wallaces' Farmer has the follow
to say regarding the election of Mr.
Hunt:
I'm choosing c. W. Hunt, of Logan,
Iowa, for the president of the Iowa
Farm Bureau Federation, to succeed
"Jim" Howard, the 1owI men have
placed their confidence in another
man who believes in cattle and hogs.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day was observed in Cresco
on Monday in accordance with the pro-
gram published in the Plain Dealer of
last week, the fine weather aiding
materially in a very general and sue
cessful observance. In the morning,
the usual G. A. R. ritualistic services
were held in New Oregon Cemetery,
and the graves in the various cemeteries
were all marked with flowers. In the
afternoon. a large number witnessed
the parade participated in by the G. A..
r., Relief Corps, American Legion,
and Boys Military Company to the
Soldiers Monument for decoration.
Thence the procession moved to the
Opera House where fine program was
carried out. The address by Chaplain
Father Whslen was a fine effort, many
pronouncing it one of the best of its
kind ever delivered in Cresco, patriotic,
thoughtful and earnest. Itwas the first
time Mat many of our people had ever
heard Father Whalen, although he was
stationed here for some time, before
volunteering for the war, and so we'll
pleased are oil with the address that we
feel sure it will not be long before he
will be called again from Rockford to
spaak to another Cresco audience. Fol-
lowing the address, the audience moved
to the Library where "Retreat" was
held in charge of the American Legion
Post, and "Old Glory" was impressively
lowered for the day. It is a beautiful
ceremony and one that will help to keep
alive . proper reverence and respect
for the Flag.

Conducted by the Farm Bure

Conducted by the Farm Bureau.
A Live stock Shipping Association
was formed at Chester Saturday, May
29. at meeting called by members of
the Chester township branch of the

careful consideration on the part of
the members. Two previous meeting
had been held and for one of these the
County Agent secured A. L. Middleton
of Eagle Grove to explain the working
and benefits of such associations. How
ever, on the night when Mr.. Middleton
was present a severe storm kept the
attendance down to small figure.
The attendance last Saturday night
was large and enthusiastic. A group
of local speakers were discovered
among whom were Henry Callahan,
Jim Roberts, Walter Davis and John
Sodberg. County Agent Mildens :ein
also gave q short talk.
When a vote was called for it WAS
found that all present were in favor of
forming ship ping association. In the
election which followed John Sodberg
was elected president because of his
previous experience with shipping as
sociations in Illinois. Other officers
elected were Frank Ruzicks, secretary
treasurer, and w. Davis, r. McMaster,
B. Ellis, A. G. Merrill and J. E. Rob-
erts, directors. These officers will i'm
mediately take steps to put the orgsni-
zstion in working order.

of July celebration was the chief topic
