Great roads topic energizes southern Iowa meeting
Des Moines reports the annual summer meeting of the southern Iowa association opens with President Anderson presiding. Editor Hos tor Long of the Osceola Sentinel argues that poor U S road systems stem from railroad focus and urges newspaper agitation to push road improvements. He cites Blue Grass road as example, noting funds raised rose from 200 to 2400 dollars via local effort. The piece also covers state parole board plans for July and October term cases, a resignation from the state board of education, and new articles of incorporation for several banks and companies.

He began his career in Hartford, was drafted from Providence by the New York Americans, then played for Detroit and caught the only game the Tigers won in the world series against the Cubs.
