Last evening the night police
rounded up two strangers who were

wanderers were taken to the city

To the police the two men told the

NO FEAR BY THE PRJNCE
OF CATHEDRAL DOME
London. Feb. 27. The prince of
Wales, and about 2,000 other per
sons, undeterred by alarmist warn
ings that the dome of St. Paul s
cathedral was on the eve of collapse.
attended a Welsh festival service in
the cathedral last evening and es
aped unscathed. The prince, who
apparently belongs to that large sec
tion of the public which accepts the
assurance of the cathe'tiral experts
that there is no danger in its pres
ent condition, sat immediately be
neath the dome without showing
alarm or once looking up to see if
it was coming down. The remainder
of the congregation was evidently
equally unconcerned. The service was
conducted in the Welsh language, of
which the prince, although nominal
ly the head of the Welsh people, is
virtually ignorant.

COUNTY TO AID IN
HARD SURFACING
LOUISVILLE ROADS
Commissioners Meet in Louisville,
Do Surface Grading, Fur
nish Culverts, Etc.
From Saturday's Daily
County Commissioners Gorder.
Harris and Spangler met with the
local good roads committee here last
Saturday and perfected arrangements
for putting the roads in condition for
graveling when the bonds for same
have been voted. The commissioners
agree to furnish all necessary tuning
and concrete work for drainage and
to do all grading that can be done
with a road grader and to spread the
gravel after it has been placed in
windrows by the contractor. The
work of cutting down hills and fill
ing low places will be left to the con
t ractors.
C. E. Noyes and W. F. Diers were
appointed as a committee to confer
with the county attorney at once and
have the necessary petition prepared
for calling an election to vote bonds
in the sum of $28,000 for hard-surfacing
eleven and three-tenths miles
of roads. It is proposed to have the
petition signed and the election call
ed as soon as possible so that the
work may be done this spring.
The roads designated are: Begin
ning at the south end of the Platte
river bridge, running southwest to
the precinct line near the Lutheran
church, a distance of 4.3 miles: be
ginning at First and Main street
and running west a distance of 2.2
miles; beginning at the east limit of
the town and running east and north
to the precinct line at the Schmader
farm, a distance of 2 miles; begin
ning one mile east of the town limit
and running south to the precinct
line, a distance of 2 V4 miles.
After the election is called and the
bonds voted, the county commission
ers, will proceed at once to advertise
for bids and will let the contract.
The material to be used will be des
ignated by the committee. It i. quite
generally understood that gravel will
be used on some of the roads and
rock on others. Lousi ville is fortu
nate in being able to secure both
without freight charges, which will
greatly lessen the expense of build
ing permanent roads.
Our mud tax is an expensive one;
nevertheless it must be paid year af
ter year, as we have since pioneer
days. The Iowa State Highway Com
mission through tests of consump
tion of gasoline used on different
types of roads, computed in ton miles
makes the following interesting com
parisons: One gallon of gasoline will yield
SI ton miles on concrete. 21 ton
miles on gravel, and 14 ton miles on
dirt roads. It is not difficult for
anyone to figure that we are paying
for the privilege of driving through
mud. The saving in gasoline and tin
wear and tear on vehicles will more
than offset the difference in taxes,
to allow nothing for the comfort of
driving over good roads at all seasons
of the year.
Good reads are a vital necessity,
and are the mainspring of our busi
ness development and expansion. Let
us all become boosters for good roads.

CARD OF THANKS
We are taking this means of ex
pressing our appreciation of the many
acts of kindness shown to us in our
hour of bereavement, especially do we
wish to thank the business houses ol

friends for the beautiful flowers and

SPARKS CAUSE SMALL FIRE
from Thursday's lally
Just at the noon hour today the
residence of Mrs. L. C. Sharp at
Fourth ami Vine street was discov
ered to be on fire, a number of
sparks from the chimney having
alighted on the roof and caused a
small blaze to break on the shingle
roof. The department responded at
once and a few moments effective
work checked the fire just as it was
breaking through into the interior
of the house.
With the high and told wind
blowing it was very fortunate that
the fire was extinguished so prompt
ly, as it would have made a very
bad fire to combat in a few moments.

Friends of Jacob Smith Aided by the

Henry Field Station at Shen

The lot of Jacob Smith, resident of
near Murray, has for some time been
far from pleasant caused by the fact
that he has been deprived of his eye
sight, but he is at last to have an
element brought into his life that
will keep him in touch with the out
side world, and this is through the
medium of a radio receiving set that
the friends of this unfortunate man.
with the co-operation of the H"nry
Field broadcasting station at Shen
andoah. Iowa. KF.N'F, have been able
to raise the funds to secure.
The matter was first started by
it. W. Porter of this city and taken
tip by the friends over the county,
and later the co-operaticn of Mr.
Field and his radio station was en
listed, with the result that in a very
tihort time the funds were secured.
On Sunday the receiving set was
installed by W. O. Kettleson of this
city and Mr. Porter so that although
the light of day has ceas2d for Mr.
Smith, the world is at his beck and
tall through the medium of the radio
and he can enjoy in the restful and
quiet surroundings of his own home
the many fine programs offered daily
by radio stations over the country.
