Motorists travelling tne LlnCOln nISu

route. Last week four men, comprising
the official road marking crew of the
Lincoln Highway . association, travel
ing in two motor trucks, marked the
route through this county, working
out Of Denison for several days, put

crew engaged in the big work OF erect.

the entire route Of the Lincoln high
way as far west as Omaha; from Oma-
ha to the Pacific coast the highway has
already been marked In this fashion.
This is the second time the Lincoln
Highway association has undertaken
the tremendous job of standardizing
the marking along the great road. In
1916 q similar crew was employed TO
paint the markers along the route: At
that time 5000 red, white and blue
markers were stenciled upon telegraph
posts from New York city as far west
as the Nebraska Wyoming state line.

The paving Of highways in counties
| that voted for the proposition has been
seriously delayed because Of the scar
city Of material, and labor. Many of
the counties have deferred action un.

also for bond issue: Woodbury., g..

John F. Bierderstadt, Of Searsboro,
missing Poweshiek county soldier, has
finally been found by his wife and par
ents. Through the good Offices of Con-
gressman RamSeyer he was located in
the government hospital at Knoxville
and has been taken to Cedar Rapids for
medical treatment. He Is a victim Of
shell shock. has lost his speech and Is
mentally weak and is only just regain
ing the use of his legs. He was dis
charged from Camp Dodge on June 11th
and soon after his parents, unable to
obtain track Of him, started the search
which finally succeeded. Biederstadt
saw active service. in France in the
Aisne and Marne sectors.
Legislation which Iowa educators
will have submitted at the next session
of the Iowa legislature was drawn up
or planned at a meeting recently of
the legislature committee OF the coun-
ty school superintendents. The two
most important features Of the super
intendents' legislative program are
bills providing that tuition in high
schools be raised from So to $40 and
providing that the maximum amount
that can be raised per pupil for the
support of the public schools be raised
from $50 in the places where it is now
$50. and to 500 in places where 1t is
now $50. The members of the commit
tee include George E. Master. of Glen.

1 up any deficiency in case the big show
did not pay out, and it didn't by about
81 500, and this amount has been paid.
The next big event was grand opera.
Forty prominent citizens subscribed
$500 each as a guarantee. The musi-
cal event failed to dxlw sufficiently to
meet the obligation and so the busi-
ness men standing sponsor have been
assessed 40 per cent on pledges made.
It may not be just the proper caper
to treat swine shows and grand operas
as allied attractions and it is done only
to announce that neither of them
strike a responsive chord in Des Moines
society circles.
One of the first measures to be pre-.
sented before the thirty ninth general
Assembly next January will be a bill
providing for a state bonus for service
men. w. c. Edison, Storm Lake, law
yer and a member of the legislature,
has drafted a bonus bill which would
provide SIS month for Iowa soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses who were
| in the service during the war. Iowa
has approximately 10000 veterans of
the world war and Mr.. Edison has COM
| piled statistics which show that the
average period of service was fourteen
months. This would mean fund OF
$22, 900 900 to carry out the provisions
of the bill. The proposed Edison law
would provide minimum of $50 and
would pay SIS for each month or frac-
ton of month of service from the
time the United States entered the war
until the armistice was signed. Widows
and children of deceased service men
would receive the same benefits as the
husband or father would have received
had he lived.
Because a telegram received by Mrs.
j. NJ. Decker, >rOf Garner, Hancock,
county, announced enormously that her
mother was dead, suit has been
brought by Mr.. and Mrs. Decker to gain
5000 in damages from the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company. Mrs Decker
asks $500 for "harrowed feelings, and
Mr.. Decker asks 500 for the expense
of trip to the home OF Mrs. Decker's
mother.
BY common consent Herman Schleus
ner, of Hancock county, is the cham
pion grower of sugar beets. He har-
vested 87h tons from four and a quar-
ter acres of land. He received for the
yield $1050. The beets weighed on the
average >around 10 pounds or better
This marvellous crop was grown on land
that had been used for several years
as hog pasture. Intensive cultivation
was given. Besides the amount receiv
ed for the beets he had the tops left
for feed which adds additional value to
the crop.

obligatory on all dealers In used cars

ular registration fee as provided by
law for each car, as IL each were own
ed by different individuals. Another
ruling is that made by. Judge Stiles, of
Waterloo, who contends that the own.
ership of a passenger automobile Is evi-
dence that the purchaser nor any OF
his family con be regarded as subjects
of charity. Judge Wood, of Black
Hawk district court, comedies in this
opinion. The case grew out Of a re.
quest for free treatment of a crippled
child at Iowa City under the Perkins
act. These magistrates believe that
the fact that one owns and drives a
passenger car should be taken to mean
that he is able to pay for any medical
or surgical care which his child may
need The judges say the law will be
strictly enforced in these cases. Only

ed for treatment at Iowa City. Judge
Stiles states that recently three cases
| were brought to his attention. In two
Of them the parents owned farms. In
all three cases they owned and drove
passenger automobiles. In another
case it was learned the child had $17,00
in the bank to his account.

at Marcus, when a gasoline car on
which he was riding collided with a
mail sack. The sack fell OF truck
form at Marcus directly in front of the
oncoming car. The railroad company
was negligent in that it permitted the
mail to be SO piled on the truck as to
cause the sack to fall, alleges the Pc
tition. The car was being driven at
high rate of speed and had no brakes.
The damages demanded are divided as

pecuniary loss to family, $4,000.
One of the historical landmarks in
Iowa is the old court house at Roches-
ter, Cedar county. erected In 1887,
when Cedar county was organized and
was established at Upton three years
later. Judge David Irving held the
first court in this then new building in
1889. He was the first judge Cedar
county ever had. There has been some
talk recently of buying the property
and preserving it as an historical site.
In fact. there are persons who believe
lish state park in this beautiful sec
ton of Cedar county. Rochester was
for many years the only post Office for
the scattered settlers north and west,
even up into Linn county. 1t Is said
that Robert Smythe, who had emigrat-
ed from the north of ireland and set
tied west of what is now Mt. Vernon,
walked to Rochester for his mail. He
stopped on his way at the Red Oak set
tlement where he met young emf
grant girl who had lately come from
the same region in ireland. He mar
ried the girl, who Is known as Margar-
ct Moffit. She was the aunt of John 7.
Moffit of Upton. judge OF the district
court. Mr.. Smythe later became a
state senator, was a paymaster in the
[army and died few years ago. 1t is
also said that Solomon Knott's cabin,
which stood west of Upton, was the
last house owned and occupied by an
actual white settler until one reached
the Missouri river. John Brown, the
slavery agitator, who was afterwards
hanged at Harpers Ferry, Va, spent
the winter of 1888 in a log cabin
near Rochester.

1T is apparent, therefore, that as
much leaf surface as can be maintain-
ed in vigorous condition should be en-
couraged this summer.
obviously no pruning which will
remove leaves capable of functioning
should be done. To do so would mean
root starvation and an enfeebled tree.
This, however, is not to be construed
that no pruning at this season is ad-
vised. The removal of dead limbs has
certain advantages well worth while.
Such limbs are more easily detected
now than during the winter and can
therefore be removed at less expense.
On trees with fruit, the tendency or
such limbs is to scratch the fruit and
lower its quality.

grower in being rid of so many "eye-
Sores is likewise apparent. Let the

REAL GALE OF MIDDLE
VARIETY HITS YAKIMA

YAKIMA, Wash, July ia. P.)
Yakima yesterday had a real storm
of the Middle West variety. 1t burned
out number of transformer fuses for
the Pacific Power and Light Company,
struck the Yakima transportation
substation throwing its $4,000 volt
plant out of commission and put be-
tween 40 and so telephones out of or
der. Previously stray bolt of lightn-
ing burned the 1850 kilowatt power
generator at the Naches station. The
electrical storm was followed by a
genuine rain, in which nine hundrdths
of an inch fell at Yakima and a much
greater amount in the hills The
storm apparently centered at Yakima
and there were few evidences of any
atmospherical. disturbances below
Union Gap.
