The Grand Army of the Republic, the Ladies of the Grand Army and the Womans Relief Corps, of Rensselaer, will give flags to twelve rooms in the Renssleaer public schools and will probably Join in another gift of one or two large flags for the assembly in the high school building. Some time ago a penny collection was taken in the primary grades to secure flag money and flags were purchased for the halls of the primary building. It then occurred to Superintendent Dean that the patriotic orders of the city might like to donate the flags for the different rooms, and committees from the ■rooms were asked to meet at the school house in order that the matter might he discussed with the teachers. This meeting was held Wednesday. W. 8. Day, of the Post; Mrs. E. L. dark and Mrs. Mary Peyton, of thte Corps, and Mrs. True D. Woodworth and Mrs. George H. Healey, of Milroy Circle, met at the sehool building and it was arranged that each order should furnish flags and that the three would join together to discuss the matter of giving a large flag or two for the assembly. The Ladies of the G. A. R., at a meeting Thursday, appointed a committee to investigate the cost and to purchase four flags and the Relief Corps has called a meeting to take action. The Post will probably take the matter up at its next regular meeting. W. S. Day has been appointed patriotic Instructor for the schools,

Heavy Hauling is Injuring Roads—Must Be Stopped.

Stone ro&ds cost too mueh to be ruined by heavy hauling when they are soft and during the past few days the roads of the county have suffered a great deal by heavy loads. Sylvester Gray, the new superintendent for Jasper county, is going to do all in his power to break up the practice of heavy hauling at seasons of the year when the roads are soft and today put up a number of notices quoting the section of the law that explains the penalty. Every farmer and especially every tax payer should aid in the enforcement of this law, for a wagon heavlly loaded can do several hundred dollars damage to roads In a single day. The heavy automobiles also do a vast amount of damage when the roads are wet and softr Some of the machines with chains on the wheels splash the water and particles of rock out to the side of the road in large quantities. Arthur Troxell, who lives north of town, states that he haft observed that local machine owners generally straddle the ruts of the road when there is yater on the road, but that the large tourist machines generally run right in the ruts and work a great deal of damage. Certainly there should be a movement to stop the wreckless destruction of the roads and jMr. Gray threatens to resort to suits If the warning given in the notices Is not heeded.
