DetSur on Calmar Road

The Calmar Primary road leading
out OF Decorah is not in good shape
to travel and detour has been es-
tablished which leads cut on the
Middle Calmar road about four miles
and then crosses over as far as the
church on the main Calmar road.
From now on the travel on this
road will insure a good road into

Another automobile measure which
- being discussed is that of a nomi-
nal wheel tax, which may be assess-
lea by cities and towns to keep up un-
paved streets. This could be done by
city ordinance. 1t is argued that If
the license fees were reduced owners
OF cars would be willing to pay wheel
tax of possibly 81 car for keeping,
up the roads adjoining the corporate
limits las well as other unpayed
streets. Secretary Ramsay, how
ever, is not advocating this latter
measure.
The bill being advocated by Secre-
tary Ramsay, if passed by the leris-
lature this winter, would not go into
eiiect in time to reduce the 1923
taxes. These become due Dec. O.
this year and are delinquent Jan. 1.
1873. SO the reduction contemplated
could not become effective until u
year from the coming December.
when the 1924 license fees would he
due.
There are now registered in Iowa
4o5,3l6 cars, 31,099 trucks, 35,066
motorcycles and 104 trailers. The
total fees amount to $500, 900.
There are 1855 automobile dealers
and l67 used car dealers.

AUTO LICENSE
CUT PROPOSED
Thirty Per Cent Reduction in License
Fees Proposed in Bin by
SECRETARY State Ramsey.
i65,316 AUTOS
REGISTERED IN IOWA
The Total Fees Amounted to 81, $780,
600. State Has 1856 Auto
mobile Dealers.

Des Moines, Iowa-A 80 per
cent reduction in automobile license
fees is contemplated in a bill now
being prepared by Secretary of State
Walter Ramsay to be presented 10
the next Legislature.
Secretary Ramsay, who is in
charge Of the state automobile de-
partment, has come in direct contact
with the operation of this law for
several years and now declares that
in his judgment the fee is too high.
New schedules have been worked
out by Secretary Ramsay and his as
sistant, w. M. Colladay, basing the
rate on two factors, the weight OF
the car and the average cost for the
past five years. Under the present
law the rate is based on the weight
and the actual cost. But the prices
on all cars have been changing so
rapidly that there Is no uniform rate
on the same make and the same
model. Basing the rate on the aver
age cost over a period Of five years
will provide q fiat rate and prove
far more satisfactory TO the aver
age auto owner in the opinion of
Secretary Ramsay.
This measure, if enacted into law,
would result in a cut of 30 per cent
in the amount OF money available for
road improvements thruout the state,
inasmuch as the fees go to this work
except the small per cent reserved
for meeting the expense of admins
tration of the law and those of the
state highway commission.

Boys work has always been the
most important activity of the Rotary
club, Mr.. Black said, and doubtless,
always will be. This year, special
stress is being made on the Better

disappeared from his home more than
a week ago, taking a rifle, presum-
ably going on hunt. He disappear
ed after returning from school, early
last week.
The parents received the gun from
Kenmare by express. The lad had
only 80 cents to pay for expressing
the gun to his parents and the ex-

ference. The lad had been working
on a threshing rig near Kenmare for
two days, he said. This was a week
ago today and Mrs. Hineline informs
the Independent that she has not
heard word from her boy since He

The Legislative Ticket

The whole state will watch the
outcome Of the Legislative contest in
our 29th district. In the primaries
the independent republicans nominal
Cd only two of their four candidates.
while the leaguers nominated two.
The independents therefore are now
supporting only two candidates in the
Republican column, John H. Burns
and Einar Mus; and are also sup
porting the two candidates in the
Democratic column, John Ehr and
Nellie Dougherty. There are four to
be elected.
At the primaries in the statewide
contest for the lower house the
leaguers nominated one more candi-
date than the independents, and now
to overcome this, the independents
will have to elect two democrats to
the lower house in this district.
If you wish to support Governor
Nestos' administration you should
work for this fusion legislative ticket
as a league controlled Legislature
could block progress for two years.

COL. PERSONS CUERNSEYS WIN
PREMIUMSAT NATL DAIRY SHOW

Colonel E. S. Person returned from
St. Paul this afternoon where he spent
last week at the National Dairy Show.
He reports that the big show was
a success in every way except in the
attendance of the city folks. A guar
antee of 100000 paid admissions had
been made and the admissions were
but $1,000, mostly from the rural dis
tricts. This was disappointing and
it is not likely that St. Paul will be
favored with the National show for
many years to come.
Colonel Person is president of the
North Dakota Dairyman's association.
He reports that nearly 1000 cattle
were seXhibition, mostly from the
herds from the west and the south.
A fine poultry show was held in con-
nection and each evening there was an
enjoyable entertainment.
A health show was held in connec-
ton, an entire building being given
over to this section Of the show, where
the effect Of milk on the health Of
children was demonstrated.
The North Dakota cattle made a
remarkably fine record at the show.
Jerry Bacon's Holsteins from Grand
Forks, the Sam Crabbe Jersey herd
from Fargo and Colonel Persons
Guernseys from the Minot farm all
came thru in good shape.
Fifteen Guernseys from the Person
farm were shown and all except one
were in the money. They were in
competition with the best Guernseys
in the United States at that.
The next National Dairy Show will
be held on the Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Person visited with o. r. Pow
ell, cashier Of the Union National
bank, at Faribault, and reports him
recovering nicely from his operation
of two weeks ago. Mr.. Powell will
visit with relatives near Farbault be-
fore returning to Minot and expects
to be back in about three weeks, COM
pletely restored to health.

Many Minot Folks Enjoy Wonderful
Chicken Dinner at Community Hall

Seventy-fve from Minot drove out
to the South Prairie Community Hall
at noon today and enjoyed a chicken
| dinner, given by the members of the
South Prairie Community club. The
roads are in almost perfect condition
and it required only twenty minutes
to negotiate the twelve miles over the
new grade of the Minot- Max state
federal highway.
The South Prairie ladies had. tables
set in the Community Hall, and when
the Minot folks arrived, they readily
detected the odor of fried chicken and
| trimmings. Could such dinner pos
| sibly have been. served at the Black
stone in Chicago, one might have eX-
| pected to pay four or five dollars a
plate, yet the South Prairie ladies
charged the munificent sum of so
cents. The menu comprised fried
chicken, cold slaw, cream gravy, bread,
mashed potatoes, jelly, coffee, two or
three kinds of cake, apple pie with
real whipped cream, pumpkin pie,
escalloped corn, etc.
After dinner, Alfred Spoklie acted
as auctioneer and sold many fancy ar
ticles that the ladies of the district
had made. There was one booth
where choice farm products were
sold, such as eggs, chickens, onions,
carrots, and potatoes. Another booth
was headquarters for luscious home
made candy.
John H. Howard took his trusty old
"fd' along and played a number Of
delightful numbers, Mrs. Howard ac-
companying him. The Minot gang
sang Ed Shirley's Booster song,
'Stub" Taylor danced jig and DR..
Archie MCDANIEL showed excellent
form with his peg-leg dance.
The South Prairie Community band
played several numbers and played
them well. This is an organization
that the South Prairie has good reason
to be proud of. Carl Mason, secre-
tary of the Ward county fair, who
was present, remarked that he hoped
to hold band tournament at the next
fair and hoped this band would be in
: cluded.
The Minot folks had a good time.
They became better acquainted with
the good hearted hustling South
Prairie folks and arrangements will
undoubtedly be made later for the
Minot people to entertain their coun-
try cousins.

EXCAVATION FOR NEW NORMAL
WING BEGUN

Exercises were held at the Normal
Monday at 8 a. m. in honor of the
breaking Of ground for the west wing
and the gymnasium was filled with
members Of the student body, faculty
and training school. The first ground
was broken at ! p. m.
The morning gathering was in the
nature of a jollification meeting, the
Normal school people taking this OPP
portunity Of showing their apprecia-
ton of the proposed improvement in
their equipment, and an informal and
impronlptu program was presided
over by President George A. McFar-
land.
The meeting opened with the school
yell led by Paul Malone, followed by
the Normal school song and America,
then the North Dakota song by the
training school. The work Of the
Normal school orchestra, which also
entertained, was a matter of much
comment, especially as it is realized
that this body of musicians is reor-
gained each year and is comprised
largely of new membership.
Brief speeches were given by rep
resentatives of the various Normal
school classes: Albert Larson, first
year; Miss Pearl Peterson, second;
Miss Edith Swanson, third; Gordon
Abbott, elementary seniors, and Miss
Gertrude Dwire, advanced seniors
Mrs. Florence Perkett Of the faculty
also gave an address as did Ira Rush
architect for the proposed addition
who was also called upon for remarks
1t had been arranged that exercises
would be held on the site of the new
building but the snow made it seem
inadvisable for the contractor to bring
his teams to the ground until p. M
so the real ceremonies of breaking
ground were deferred to that hour.
The four members Of the faculty
who have been in the service of the
school from its beginning had the
honor of throwing the first spadefu]

Yeggs Have No Fear For Tainted
Money. Only for Smallpox

Smallpox has it's terrors for yeggs,
but it is not sufficient to make them
crop tainted" money.
This fact was shown by an incident
at Crosby last week when two men
entered the pest house and went thru
the pockets of a man named O'Connell.
a patient there. The yeggs secured
two silver dollars and then just by
way of being sociable asked O'Connell
if he "was patching it in this shack'
house and | am smallpox patient"
The yeggs beat hurried exit but took
the germ laden dollars with them.
Incidentally, however, O'Connell did
not have good measure. He was af-
flicted with scarlet fever at the time
of the raid.
