WAUkON LET'S PAVING
CONTRACT
Council Accepts Asphaltic- Concrete
at S2.7S, When VibrOlitic was
Offered at S2.44.

Waukon is figuring on doing con-
siderable more paving this year, but
the city council was up against the
proposition of which kind of paving
to put in. The council visited De-
corah last week and looked over the
vibrolithic job being put in on East
Water street. Some of the members
favored that particular kind, while
Mayor Arnold and one of the Coun-
cilmen favored a soft top pavement.
The Waukon Republican has the fol-
lowing to say about the paving con-
tract:
"The successful bidder was the
Western Asphalt Company, who has
had a man on the job here every
minute of the time since the open
ing of the bids, and who has spared
nothing in his efforts to land the
contract for his employers.
When the first canvass of the
council was taken shortly after the
opening of the bids four members
of the council were in favor of con-
tracing for vibrolitic pavement on
account of the remarkably low bid
bid S2.44 per square yard. How
ever, Mayor Arnold and Councilman
Herman favored a soft top pavement
and the balance of the council, IN
order to eliminate all friction and
try to secure a unanimous decision
of the council for some particular
type of construction, carried me
matter over and many side trips
were made to view paving at DIFF
ferent points
In interviewing property owners
effected by the improvement, the
opinion was almost unanimous IN
favor of the vibrolithic pavement
However, the members of the coun-
Gil were unable to reach a unanirn-
Gus agreement and Monday Council
man Martin recorded his vote with
Councilmen Hall and Herman who
who were supported in their opinion
by Mayor Arnold making a majority
in favor of the soft-top paving and
the contract was Immediately let to
the Western Asphalt Company.
There have been many arguments
and criticism advanced in the mat
ter and from all appearance the end
is not yet, and Waukon is quite a
distance from paving at this time.
However, when the matter is thresh-
ed out with the Highway Commits
sion and accepted or rejected then
we will know whether or not the
improvement will be made this sum-
mer.
The bids entered at the letting
were the most favorable we have no.
ticed in any paving contracts this
year, particularly the vibroithic bid
of S2.44 which we understand is the
lowest made in the state this season.
The contract price for the asphalt
tic concrete calls for S2.7S per square
yard.
The bids on curb and gutter were
being close with the successful bidder
being somewhat lower than any
other competing bidders"

Democrats Voted Republican Ticket

If Story City is a sample OF what
took place in the other 1890 pre-
cinc:s in the state, it is no wonder
that the winner got 40 per cent OF
the vote. At this place there was
only one Democratic vote cast. The
man elected by the board of super
visors as Democratic judge of this
precinct voted Republican, the Demo
cratic committeeman of this precinct
openly boasts that he voted Republi-
can. and we know three other men
who have been lifelong Democrats
who all voted Republican. And all
voted for the same senatorial candl-
date. Can you beat it? Story City

Missouri Valley Votes Down Its Own
Light Plant

Missouri Valley, Iowa,-Missouri
Valley people kick about their light
and power bills and sometimes aboul
the service, but yesterday, when il
came to vote upon the issuance
of $4,000 in municipal bonds for
the purpose of constructing a city
electric plant, the proposition was
defeated by a to / vote.
The result was a shock to most
persons for there seemed from tne
discussion to be a majority in ia
vor of the bonds. Evidently the
opponents of the plan all voted while
the Others did not.
The plant which furnishes lights
is part of the big Continental Gas
company.

Shoots Fleeing BOOtlegger

Manchester, Iowa,-The hootch
business is daily becoming more haz-
ardous in this vicinity.
Last night Frank Stewart, driver
of an automobile containing twenty
six pints of wet goods, was shot
in the shoulder by Sheriff L. +.
Pride when he failed to stop his
Car at the sheIifr's order.
The sheriff had a tip that some
hootch was due and was on the
road outside of Manchester when
the car came along. He called to
the driver to stop. A shot in the
shoulder halted the fellow when ne
stepped on 'er."
A hearing was held before Justice
j. j. Pentony and was continued to
Monday and Stewart acquired bail
and was released to return to Cedar
Rapids.
The otter party in the car, Jay
Miller, was unable TO give bond
and lodged in Jail over night.
Both gave their home address as
Rock Island, Ill.,, and it is rumored
that this was not their first trip to
Manchester. They were headed for
a dance in the fair ground pavilion.

Friday evening, June Both will be
the last of the series Of farm bur-
eau meetings which are being held
in the county. This will be held at
the home of S. E. Pierce, one mile
north of Burr Oak. Motion pictures
and a good talk by L. w. Inman
and the coming together of friends
and neighbors for the discussion of
agricultural problems will take up
the evening.
The Fl. Atkinson picnic which was
held June 22nd was a decided sue
cess. About fifteen hundred people
gathered for the band concert and
the address by C. w. Huntley of
Lucas County. The baseball game
between Fl. Atkinson and Festina
was a fast game and enjoyed by all
baseball fans. Motion pictures were
shown on the street in the evening.
Fully six hundred people gathered in
the streets and all were much inter-
ested in the film on tuberculosis
eradication. These films and the re-
marks by the County Agent are re-
newing the interest in securing fed
eral inspection of herds and many
are sending in their applications for
the work. Application blanks are on
hand at the County Agents office
and the agent will be glad to assist
in making these out and sending
them in for those who desire the
work done. 1t is only by signing this
agreement that the work is done free
of charge and the farmer is able to
receive federal indemnity for reacting
animals.

lnasmuch as this is the 25th an
niversary of the Horticultural Society
in Winneshiek County it was thought
advisable to make an effort to have
something a little out of the ordinary
for this meeting. Mr.. Lomen re-
ported that he was very sure we
could secure the services of Mr..
Jarnagin of the Iowa Farmer for
an address and was authorized to
secure him. The date of the picnic
was set for August 18th, which is
the Sunday following the Homecom-
ing, it being felt that possibly many
former residents would be in the
county at this time and would be
glad to attend this picnic, which
will be held at the home of John
Harter.

FEED THE BIRDS.

AT this time of the year it
is always necessary to call the
attention of the public to the
necessity Of Feeding the Birds. A
State may. do great deal in the way
OF restocking depleted covers, but
more can be gained by saving what
we have than by purchasing at grea,
expense large quantities of birds. II
is only necessary for farmers and
sportsmen and bird lovers to divert
a little time and small amount OF
grain to save many birds throughout
the State of Maryland and have
large numbers of quail and other
valuable birds. A shelter provided
for them to protect them from the
snow or a place scrapped bare in the
snow and feed scattered thereon
will accomplish great amount of
good and the Conservation Commits
sion of Maryland urgently requests
all those who are interested to do
what they can to save the birds.

A series of articles presented to

United States Public Health Ser
vice, the Maryland State Board OF
Health and the County, Health
Officer.
DIPHTHERIA.
The slogan keep your child home
when he has sore throat" used in
the article ON scarlet fever" is
equally applicable to diphtheria.
This disease, like scarlet fever, has
short period of incubation, i. e.. it
develops within few days after the
infection was contracted. If your
child is not immune he will probably
show some signs of the disease with
in from one to seven days-usually
from two to five days-after expos
ure.
Unfortunately, the manner of its
onset and the type of diphtheria
taries so that in mild cases it is not
only possible to say that child has
diphtheria in the beginning. In
these cases this cannot always be
stated positively until the secretion
from the throat and nose has been
examined for the germs of the dis
ease. Hence, you can see the i'm
portance, for the safeguarding of
other susceptible persons, of keep
| ing your child at home when he has
a sore throat, nasal discharge, and
enlarged glands in the neck, even
| though he does not seem to be really
i'll. He may be carrying with him
virulent germs, dangerous to the
community at large, and particular
ly to the children.
It is equally important for your
own child's safety that he not only
be kept at home when he has the
above mentioned symptoms but that
he also be kept quiet. The toxin,
or poison, of diphtheria seems to
have a decided prediction for the
heart and nervous system, and some-
times for the kidneys. In nearly
all severe cases there is some in
volvment of the heart, and a post
diphtheritic paralysis is not at ali
uncommon, the muscles Of the
throat being frequently affected.
The use of antitoxin in diphtheria
is now recognized method of treat
ment. It is important for parents
to understand, however, that this,
to be most efficaciOus, must be ad-
ministered before the toxin, the
poison secreted by the germs, has
had a chance to do much damage
yThey will, therefore, recognize the
necessity of having a case of diph-
iberia treated as early as possible
When diphtheria is prevalent con-
slider every sore throat a probable
case Of diphtheria and send for the
doctor.
