Elect Republican Delegate to Demo-
cratic County Convention

Interest Jagged at the primary
election Monday last, so far as mill
tary township is concerned. A very
light vote was cast, the Democratic
vote amounting to almost nothing in
comparison to the vote cast at pre-
vious elections. And Military town.
ship, at one time, was a Democratic
stronghold. The Democrats cast AZ
votes. Republicans 1914 and the women
90. One of the amusing things is
the electionof H. P. Nicholson as a
delegate to the Democratic county
convention. H. P. is a mighty good
Republican and some Democrats evil
IDENTIFY believed he'd make a good
Democrat, too. Mr.. Nicholson hasn't
decided whether he will attend the
Democratic convention or not.
No township officer on either tick
ct was nominated, except Ed Grim
stad, who received 1919 votes for con-
stable, on the Republican ballot. At
tempts were made to write in enough
names for the various township Of
fees but none received the required
80 per cent of the vote. This leaves
the offices of assessor, justice of the
peace, two township trustees and
township clerk vacant.
Delegates to the Democratic coun-
ty convention are as follows:
John J. McManus, township COM
mitteeman; Geo. ]. Cooper. Barney
Holtey, VIM. Funke, VIM. J. Holtey,
H. P. Nicholson, H. Scheidemantel
and Philip Wagner.
The delegates to the Republican
county convention are as follows:
G. G. Oyloe, township committee
man; Kent Larson, Ward M. Alien,
Ole H. Johnson, Martin Hauge, Percy
Billiard, Otto L. Gunderson, Mrs. II.
?. Nicholson, Mrs. E.. H. Anderson

Wedding Gift is Novel One

Washington, D. C.-The President
and Mrs. Harding's wedding gift to
Miss Catherine Hughes, daughter of
the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Hughes, who will marry Mr.. Chaun-
cey Lockhart Waddell next Saturday,
is one of the most interesting she
has received. The gift is a pair of
bedspreads of unbleached muslin CO.
vered with pattern of knotted can
die wicking and edged with deep
hard tied fringe. The design of
roses, shamrocks and thistles is the
oldest found in the North Carolina
mountains, and was probably brought
to this country during the Ulster
immigration about $50 years ago.
This pattern, typifying England,
Ireland, and Scotland was found on
spread more than hundred years
old, and Miss Hughes spreads are
copies Of it.
Mrs. Harding purchased the
spreads from the Southern Industrial
Education Association, of which she
is honorary president.

Iowa's Hangmans Decision Day

Next Tuesday, June 20, will be
"hangman's decision day" with the
Iowa Supreme court, which will be
in sitting in fullbench for the sole
purpose of considering the appeals of
e ght Iowa murderers sentenced to
the gallows. The dates for hanging
a portion of that motley crew have
already passed. With some, the time
set is still in the future.
The supreme court session of June
20, will be one of only a single day.
However, it is ansicipated that will
be a session that will decide the fate
of practically all Iowa men condemn
ed to death.

PAVING COST is CUT HALF
Floyd County Pushes North Iowa
Pike Road.

Charles City, Iowa,-The contract
has been let by the county super
viSors for two and five tenths miles
of paving on the North Iowa pike,
which will complete the pavement
from Charles City to Floyd county
line.
The contract has been let to the
Pickus Construction company of
Sioux City at $3.50 per cubic yard
and the grading at 81 cents per
cubic yard.
Work vii commence June Is and
must be completed by Nov. 10.
This will connect with the Cerro
Gordo county paving. The work
starts this side of Nora Springs,
goes through the town and to the
county line. The paving of this
section has been held up for some
time and inability to get the rail-
roads to have their crossing con-
form with the state highway COM
mossion's plans. The road will be
Strengthened and some grade cross
ing done away with. The thing has
been nearly completed, so that grad
ing and paving can be started as
soon as equipment is brought here by
the company.
The first contract let from
Charles City to Floyd and half way
to Rudd on this highway cost S4.09
per cubic yard; the second contract
from that point to Rudd and the
present termination of the paving
cost $3.6S per cubic yard, so that
the present price is trifle less than
half the first paving rate.
This stretch has been an unusual

GIRL READER WRITES
O FOR NEWS

A young authoress Of this city,
Miss Dora Omanson, of Fayette
street, has contributed a fairy tale
to tho columns Of the News, which
is printed in full below:
How Rose Found Something to Do
Mother" said little Ruth Bar
ton. will you tell me a fairy story
tonight? Just one, please"
"All right. Ruthie, I'll tell you
just n fairy story"
Once there was a little girl who
was always saying that she hadn't
anything to do.
as usual a little fairy appeared. The
little girl. whose name was Rose,
was so surprised to see a fairy that
she couldn't say q word.
Haven't you anything to do %
asked the fairy.
Ruth shook her head.
"Well, come with me-"
The fairy took the little girls
hand and led her through the
streets Of the town. Pretty soon
they came to O hospital. The fairy
stopped and told the little girl that
they were going to go in. She led
Rose into the children's ward and
stopped at the first bed, where a
ilttle elrl was lying.
The fairy sang a pretty song to
her and the little girl smiled and
felt happier. The fairy went on to
the next bed, where a little lame
boy VA trying to play with a rub,
Der ball. He smiled when he saw
the fairy coming and asked for q
story. The fairy told him a beauti-
full story which both Rose and the
lame boy enjoyed.
After that the fairy took Rose t.
other sick children with whom they
both played.
At last the fairy said that 1t wa.
time to go home. Rose was very
sorry and told the fairy so. The
fairy was delighted for now she had
found something for Rose to do.
Rose came to the hospital every
day. The children all liked her and
felt very happy when they saw her
coming.
AS for Rose. she became a better
little girl and seldom ever said that
she hadn't anything to do.

More than ever before, we are in

This, because we know that aside

You may have h Cupid's bow or

He should examine your teeth twice

are promptly filled, and that the
gums are in a healthy condition.
But the daily care, what really
counts, is up to you.
Remember to include in your diet
a little course bread and some foods
that require chewing. Then chew.
That gives the molars a little healthy
exercise and keeps them strong
