1RoQUoIS CLUB MUST BE
ABSOL UTELY DEMOCRATIC
Faithful Members Are Required to
Vote Straight Party Tickets in

AL E1eCt1OuS.
The Iroquois Club held lengthy meet
ing last night at it's headquarters in
Pythian Castle building
The principal business of the evening
was the proposed amendment to the pre-
amble of the clubs constitution, to strike
out the word municipal in the clause
which pledges the members to support
Democratic principles in national, State
and municipal elections" The supporters
of the proposed amendment argued that
1t was impossible to force members to
vote straight party ticket in municipal
elections, while the opponents of the
measure claimed that to allow the club
members to vote as they pleased in local
aHa1rs would result in the destruction of
was lost, as 1t failed to secure the requis-
1te two-thirds' vote.
The committee on public utilities of the
club presented report suggesting that
the Democratic clubs, the labor organiza-
tions and the Improvement clubs each
nave SIX members added to the body. The
majority of the members present opposed
selection by the committee of the repre-
sentattves from the bodies named and the
matter was referred back to the special
committee for another report.

We see much talk OF good roads, but
they will never be made permanent I'M
til wide tires are more universally
used. 1t Is not, however, on the public
highway that wide tires are most ad-
vantageous. 1t is on the fields, through
the lanes and about the barnyard where
they prove of the greatest value. The
State Agricultural College of Missouri
found that on blue grass sward 3,24S
pounds pulled as easily on three inch
tires as 1000 pounds on H. inch tires.
In part of New York state wide tires
reduced the cost Of hauling 20 per cent,
but the saving Of draft is not the only
advantage Of the wide tires, for mar
row tires cut ruts that can be seen
across the fields for whole season,
and each one Of these ruts serves as a
ditch, which after each rain carries Off
the soluble part of all manure and 9TH
er fertilizers.-National Stockman.

Good Roads DimcuIties.

The chief difficulty in the matter Of
good roads is the ignorance of the
farmers in many sections as to their
construction. They build them care
lessly or improperly, and the new road
way soon goes to pieces. The farmers
lose heart and come to the conclusion
that it hardly pays to construct roads
which last SO short a time. The first
thing to be done. therefore, is TO show
the farmers how to construc. and
maintain roads. This is easy. The
roads are not expensive, and when once
properly constructed they can be main
tanned at minimum Of cost This
has been the experience wherever the
National Good Roads association has
been at work. - New Orleans Times

ILLINOIS HIGHWAYS.
Money Annually Wasted Would Soon
Build Good Roads.

Hard roads statisticians have figured
that Illinois now spends and has been
spending for years more than $780,
600 annually on its road work - more
than 1t is proposed to raise from both
state and township taxation under the
Curtis bill. This money goes for the
pay Of the county and township and
road district officials, for roadmaking
tools, for labor, and where farmers
work out their road tax the allowance
to them Is figured In.
This sum, 1t Is estimated, would be
sufficient in a dozen years to equip ev-
cry township in the state with a north
and south and an east and west mac
adam road Of first class quality, yet
this enormous sum Is annually spent
for nothing-dumped into the mud. lit
orally as we'll as figuratively, through
lack Of scientific skill applied to road
building.
Advocates of good roads legislation
are not all sticklers for macadam,
which is usually meant when hard

rails can be used. 1t Is even admitted
that fair quality Of road can be made
Of ordinary prairie soil. but it must be
scientifically constructed.

THE COST TO FARMERS.
How Bad Roads Count In Figuring
Profit and Loss.

A potent argument with the farmer
when he can be made to listen is the in
f1uence of good roads on the marketing
Of his product. With country roads as
they are there are seasons when the
farmer could not get his grain to mar
ket if he were offered it's weight in
gold. Unless he has large capital he
cannot take advantage Of the actual
market conditions, but must be gov
erned in selling by the state of the
country roads. He cannot sell unless
he can deliver wagon load lots at the
railroad station.
A consequence is, say students Of this
question, that the farmers of Illinois
could have equipped the state with
macadam pavements for the money
they have lost through being forced TO
sell their product when the roads hap
pen to be good enough to permit haul
ing.

ROADMAklNG MACHINERY.
II Bas Divested Highway Building of
Many Difficulties.


Road building In many sections Of the
country has never got beyond the
gravel wagon and the farmers shovel.
In most states the farmer works out"
his road tax on a day that Is most con-
venient to himself and when there Is
nothing that can be done on the farm
He runs a scraper up and down the
highway, throwing the dirt in mounds,
hauls few loads Of gravel, scatters 1t
about promiscuously and the job is
done for the year. 1t is this kind Of
road building" which makes many
country highways impossible for n
good portion of the year.
In no department of mechanical In
dustry has greater progress been made
than in the perfection and manufac-
ture of roadmaking machinery. The
use of this machinery under the drec-
ton of experts reduces road building in
any kind of soil to a very simple prop
osition. A wider knowledge of mod
ern roadmaking machinery among the
agricultural classes would divest the
problem of many apparent difficulties
in the minds of those to whom legisla-
lures must look for the initiative in
this matter.
Modern steam power roadmaklng
machinery, combined with state aid
under state engineer of highways,
furnishes the practical solution of the
good roads problem in this country.

warhiugtOn'p High Priced Shad

Washington's steward was a man
named Fraunces, who liked good liv-
ing and with whom Washington con-
tinually Quarreled about the market
lug. One time he bought a shad in
February, and as Washington saw it
coming into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what fish 1t was.
ut is a shad," replied the steward;
ga very fine shad. 1t was the only one
In the market, and bought it for you"
But what did you pay for itT' said
Washington sternly.
st is a very fine shad," continued
the steward, land it is cooked to a
turn"
"But want to know the price-the
price!'
1T cost So" stammered out Frances.
"Take it away" said Washington as
he raised his hand; take it away. 1t
shall never be said that l set such an
example of luxury and extravaganza"
And with that he drove the steward
out of the room, and the shad was eat

garment hemmed. The surplus is gath
cred in the front of the neck and the
two box plaits stitched in the back.
The shoulders are then sewed together
and the sleeves set in. The sleeves
are always one seam bishop shape,
with straight band. The neck may be
finished with plain band or with
sailor collar and shield. There Is al
ways n belt of some kind, and this
must hang rather low in front. Dark
red or blue pique trimmed with white
linen makes a pretty suit. With this
should go a white leather belt.
There is a neat style Of Norfolk
jacket, and with this knickerbockers
are worn, and bicycle suits have the
loose trousers gathered at the knees.
Golf pants are loose at the thighs and
snug at the knees, where they buckle.
For all Of these tan khaki, crash in
several shades Of brown and linen are
used.
But these are not so popular among
the boys as the regular sailor suit.
This consists, as we know, Of two
pieces, pants and blouse. The sailor
blouse is loose and long, and the sur
plus length Is gathered up with an
elastic or, better still, tapes which can
be tied and so do not come loose. One
width of double width stuff cuts a
blouse, and all that is necessary Is to
shape the shoulders and hem the fronts
and bottom. When this is done, there
can be binding put at the neck and
perhaps a row or two of braid as a fin
ish. Where a sailor collar and shield
are to be worn the buttons need not
show or the front need not be cut all
the way down. \ pocket belongs at
the left side and is set on. Shields and
wide collars can be purchased ready
made and are transferable, but the
wise mother will get a pattern and
make one of linen and put sailor knot
or ribbon at the point, and that collar
can be washed and worn indefinitely.
Ready made the very cheapest of these
costs S1.50. 1t is nothing to make
them. White duck or pique with red
or blue binding and knot, makes the
neatest and the most serviceable ones.
In making the small trousers anna
teurs should be sure that the fronts
and backs do not get mixed. 1t is diff
cult TO get the pockets in right and
the fly at the front. No amount OF ex.
PLANTATION can teach this, but pair OF
pants to look at is a help. Put the
pockets in, then sew the fly and button
hole piece on, then sew up the outside
of the legs and finally the back parts

The Russian blouse is the prevailing
style for all the small boys and some
who are quite large. For those under
Z this is the most fashionable suit.
The Russian blouse suit consists of
knickerbockers, or pantaloons, made
wide and gathered at the bottoms and
worn so that they cover the knees.
The blouse comes down nearly to the
knees. The materials most suitable
for this special suit for spring are dark
cheviot, serge, armure and in fact al
most any wooden stuff in solid color,
for, while kilt suits in plaid are pretty
and suitable, a blouse suit Of this
shape is not adapted to plaid. For
warmer days galatea, linen, pique,
seersucker and denim are all suitable
and found ready made.
1t should not be forgotten that small
girls can wear the Russian blouse as
well as the boys; but, except for rough
outing wear the knickerbockers give
place to the skirts. There are two
ways of making the blouse-one hav.
ing the back plain and the front sim.
ply gathered in the center at the neck
and the opening at one side or the 9th
er. This opening Is also made diago-
nally at the will of the maker, and
sometimes the garment opens from tor
to bottom dlagonally. This Is most of
ten done in the coat for the Russian
coat Is favorite and is made of every
thing one can imagine, the dark green
velutina being one Of the richest
Leather belts with big harness buckles
fasten them.
Some have wide sailor collars added
but they do not belong on a Russian
blouse. To make one for a child of
say, 6 it requires three yards of goods
! SO inches wide. The back Is cut in one
piece and is laid in two box plaits from
the shoulder to the belt. The lower
part is left open. The front is alst
cut from one width Of the goods ant
