as on the first, as if to say,
why, that's nothing. We did not
meet as many Willys-Knights as we
met Fords, it is true, but all the W.
K we did meet were moving and We
did not try to pass any of them. The
last leg of the journey took US from
little place 10 miles west of Fort Dodge,
Iowa, to Edgerton in Ia hours driving
time. It is trifle of some $50 miles
as we happened to choose the course.
It would not be strictly true to say that
every mile of the distance is good road.
but it is positively within the truth 20
say that the only really poor roads were
detours, and even some of these were
no hindrance for making time.
Iowa is getting the gravel habit; the
Hawkeye highway from Sioux City to
Dubuque is the proof. And the de-
lightful towns of Iowa! The pictures
que Cherokee and Iowa City, the clean
Waterloo, the stately Fort Dodge and
romantic Dubuque every one of them
looking clean, we'll built, orderly and
prosperous. But agricultural Iowa is
too level, too we'll fed. too many red
hogs and fat cattle to be interesting.
Cornfields until your mental vision finds
nothing to rest upon except platter
heaped high with yellow steaming ears,
and your imagination so confused that
you don't know whether it is two-legged
or four-legged hogs that are feeding
upon it. But, what a glorious corn
state! Oats in between. But the oat
straw is short in Iowa this year; too
little rain at the right time. The berry
was plump and good, and it looked as
if it would have no trouble to make 80
pounds to the bushel, evenif the price
is only 26 cents.
The coal famine is on in Iowa, and
cities depending on electric power from
steam plants are shutting off the power
after 1000 in the evening. We found
this to our delight in small town in
western Iowa where the romantic can
die in improvised candlesticks invited
US to go to bed dreaming about our
grandparents and the delightful even
ings spent in rooms made spooky by
splitting tallow dips, weeping their fat
down over the brass holder.
Well, this is all. When the traveller
is not On the Way he is at home, and
there is where yours truly has landed.

No one counted the number of peo-a
pie who attended the picnic of the Ed
gerton Firemen and Concert band last
Sunday, in fact it would have been
task az difficult as to count the ants in
an anthill. The Charley Bluff grounds
were one mass of humanity. and park

The popularity OF this event is growing
and people from towns near by and
many from distant towns joined the
hosts from Edgerton in making the day
memorable in the annals of picnics.

Poisoning Animals.
BY A. E. FREDERICK, STATE HUMANE
OFFICE.

OFFICE.
There is nothing more dastardly than
to wilfully poison an animal. 1t is a
cruel and underhanded method of TAX
ing its life.
Death by poisoning is exceedingly
painful, and an animal suffers thereby
intensely. Sometimes this agony is
brief, but many times it is prolonged,
according to the amount of poison TAX
en- and its degree of virulence. Follow
ing their natural instinct, most animals
crawl away and hide in some unobserv-
ed place and there suffer until death
brings relief.
Domestic animals are often poisoned
because the offender has been annoyed
by them. Because some people dislike
animals, they are anxious to rid the
neighborhood of them. And the neigh
boris cat or dog becomes the victim.
Instead of going openly to the owner
and complaining of any grievance they
may have against his pets, they stealth
lily lay poison or else deceitfully feed
the trusting animal poisoned food.
While nothing can justify such un-
lawful acts, yet it should be said, how
ever, that owners ought to exercise
reasonable care to prevent their ami
mails from becoming neighborhood nui-
sances. Some people are careless in
this matter and completely ignore the
feelings and rights of others. He who
has animals should take care of them.
Whenever poison is laid for the de-
struction of rodents, great care should
be taken that other animals do not
come in contact with it. If care is not
exercised, and domestic animals are
poisoned thereby, the offender is both
criminally and civilly liable.
Let us stop poisoning animals. If
we must destroy them, let use use nu-
name methods. Let us remember that
every dumb animal is creature of
God.

fine Trees in calaveras Grove.

AT the entrance to the Calaveras

Electrical Hair Cutting.

There is in use in France an electric
substitute for the BARRIERS scissors. 1t
consists of comb carrying along one
side of its row of teeth platinum wire
through which flows an electric cur
rent. As the comb passes through the
locks to be shorn the heated wire in
simultaneously sewers the hairs, leav-
ing them of even length and sealing
the cut ends as in the ordinary proc
ess of singing with taper.

PROTESTS AGAINST RIVER
 FISHING

NEW YORK, Jan. 9--Urgent need of legislation to aid the development of Alaska's resources was emphasized here yesterday by Rev Peter Trim ble Rowe, Episcopal bishop, who is en route to Washington in the in terests of the fishing rights of the territory's natives.
 Bishop Rowe said one of the best moves the shipping board could make would be the establishment of a gov ernment line of ships to Alaska, but the bishop declared himself as not one to condemn the corporations of Alaska out of hand. He referred to one company, which he said not only threatens the future salmon interests, but is making life impossible for a considerable body of natives by talk inv salmon from the Yukon and Cop per rivers.

ROAD FUNDS ARE SLASHED
 BY BUDGET

For the construction and mainte- nance of roads and trails in Alaska by the Alaska Road Commission, the sum of $425, 5,OOO was included in the budget estimates by Director Charles G. Dawes, according to advices received by the commission from Col James G. Steese, who is now in Washington. This amount is considerably less than one-half the appropriation hoped for, the estimates furnished by the com mission for the fiscal year 1922-23 being approximately s1,200,000, ac- cording to Col J. c. Gotwals, engi neer officer of the commission.
 CONTAINS IMPORTANT PROVISION
 The Alaska item, however, said Col onel Gotwals, contains a very inn portant provision that will be of ma terial benefit to the commission in it's operations In the budget as sub mitted is included a section that au- thorizes the commission to obligate a sum equal to 75 per cent of the 1922-23fappropriation providing no ap- propriation for the next fiscal year has been passed by Congress by March 1, 1923.
 The effect of such a provision will be to enable the Alaska Road Com mission to make all it's arrangements for beginning work at the very open ing of the, season as it assures it of funds to be available by the time they are needed. The organization of engineering personnel, it is pointed out, can be effectively maintained and work launched without the loss of valuable time at the very outset of the season as has occurred frequent ly in the past.
 FUNDS NOT ADEQUATE
 The $425O0O recommended by the director of the budget is considered entirely inadequate for the needs of the Territory and the work that>has been undertaken by the commission. In fact, the estimates furnished by the commission set forth that. about $450.000 was necessary for malnte- nance of the roads and trails already constructed, keeping them open for No,,,ca,il,r ,,,,1o Cnnorncc can be induced to increase the esti- mates submitted in the budget, both maintenance and contemplated new work must be curtailed.
 RAILROAD DISTRICT MAY SUFFER
 The plans of the commission for construction of feeders to the Gov ernment railroad may be baked on account of the lack of funds. In fact. with the, exception of what small al lotments the Territorial government ctl make, the Congressional appro- priation for the Alaska Road Com mission is the only money that can be applied for building these feeders. In virtually all of the First Division and the major part of the Third Di- vision, money for roadwork will be available from the new National For est Road Fund and these sections will not suffer as greatly as other districts of Alaska.
 WILL URGE INCREASE
 Gov Scott C. Bone, who will leave Juneau, in few days, will urge upon members of Congress the i'm portance of increasing the budget al- lotment for the commissions work. Colonel Steese, president of the com mission, who will probably remain in Washington for several weeks longer, will also explain the commissions estimates and actual requirements. Others from Washington also in the national capital will join in the ef- fort to secure an increased apprO- priation.
