nand for young married people to oc-
cupy tenant houses which many of our
most successful farmers have erected
on their farms. This plan has become
so popular that the Inducements thrown
out to secure newly married couples

bounty on matrimony. They are offered
free house rent. the use Of four or five
milk cows. nice garden spot and Sew

turned over to them. In addition to
this, the young man receives salary of
$25 to $50 per month With such un-

Storm Lake Jan. 2l.-The poor
roads problem" has suddenly become a
very important question to the business
interests of Storm Lake and Buena
Vista county farmers and the proposed
rural free delivery OF mail has Drought
the question to public attention.
john L. Roylan, special agent of the
postal department., has been in the city
and county, several days making in
vestisations looking to the establish
ment OF rural free delivery from this
city and the result is that four rural
routes are hung up Until the special
agent has assurances from the farmers
that the roads will be put in better
condition the coming season The spe-
cial agent does not state that Buena
Vista county roads are worse than in
many other counties of the state. but
says that one of the first conditions
imposed for the Adjustment OF rural
free delivery is the maintenance of
good roads and that under instructions
from the department. he ie not justified
in recommending the service where the
roads are manifestly bad. He impos IS
no ironclad conditions. and takes small
stock of the much talked OF burnt
clay, paved anu other hffalutin high
ways for the average Iowa country
road which means 'burdensome taxes.
but insists that if the people make the
most OF the means now at their com
smand Iowa roads will be passa BILE at all
