Farmers Who Are Doing the

HOW ONE MAN MAKES ROAD
Novel Method Of Substituting Cement

Raising Profitable-c. E. Wilson's
Rural Observations.
Special to 'rimes-Repuplican.


Iowa Falls, JAN IA few weeks
ago when country roads in this part
of the state were at their worst, a
rural mail route inspector drove over
some of the routes leading from this
place. Shortly afterward several of
the farmers living along the inspected
lines received letters informing them
that unless certain portions of the
roads were improved their mail route
to whom letters We're sent happened
to be a man with about ten years ex-
perience as township trustee one Of the
most progressive and public spirited
farmers on the route. and discussing
the matter he expressed some opin-
ions that will perhaps meet the APP
prevail of others living on other routes
where the question of discontinuance
has been raised. He said in substance:
1--WE know that our roads in this
part of the country are not all that
could be desired. They are the best,
however that we have been able to
make up to the present time, and they
are being improved every year. If
we We're entitled to mail route sew
eral years ago when they We're laid
out, with the highways vastly inferior
to those of the present time, we are
entitled to one now. Those who tell
us that we ought to get out and fix
the roads perhaps do not know that
individuals do not enjoy the right to do
public road work except under direc-
ton of the proper authorities, even IL
they desired to do so, and in the case
of township lines the roads are some
times neglected. especially where they
lead to town which is not the regular
trading point of those having the mat
ter in charge. Our road tax levy is up
to the limit and has been at that point
for years. We are just as much in
terested in good roads as anyone and
are doing all we can for their inn
provement. Our route is well patron-
lied and we object to these threats of
made largely because
of our known appreciation of the sys-
tenn of daily rural mail delivery and
the extreme reluctance with which we
would dispense with it."
w. l. Clark living few miles south
of this place, has hit upon an original
and effective method of keeping the
road smooth from his home to another
farm about mile distant, where he
feeds some stock, thus having occa-
sion to travel daily over this part of
the public highway. When there is a
soft spell" he bitches a road drag be-
hind his wagon and, smoothes the track
as he goes back aid forth. When it
freezes up and other portions of the ]

AGED COUPLE MET
DEATH TOGETHER
Divided Last Crust and
Awaited End.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec "a
(SpeciaD in broken English and with
tears streaming down her wrinkled
cheeks, Mrs. Louis Schwarz, 20 years
old, told yesterday of the causes that
led to neighbors finding her and her
husband dying from starvation at
their squalid home, early yesterday
morning. An ambulance took the
couple to Philadelphia Hospital, where
the old man died Mrs Schwarz re-
covered sufficiently TO give the story
of their suffering and of their fight
for existence.
Schwarz was once prosperous. But
the couple grew old and a daughter
left. Steadily business grew less and
less until a mortgage was necessary
to meet expenses. The mortgage fell
due and Schwarz was closed out.
Too old to obtain employment, with
scant funds, and too proud to appeal
to their new friends, the couple ex-
hausted the little money that had
left after the mortgage was foreclos-
ed. Scantier grew the supply of
food in the cupboard, and, piece by
piece, carpets, curtains, chairs and
finally the bed clothes were pawned
Monday the last pawnable thing,
except the bed and mattresses and
an old blanket, went to the loan shop.
Not even a lamp or a candle was
left In the cupboard was a half
loaf of stale bread. Thursday MORN
ing the old man broke the last crust
and offered part of it to his faithful
helpmeet. NO" she said, "let us die
together" Cropping their way to the
bed, Louis Schwarz and his wife
locked their arms in close embrace
and waited for death to end it all.

Donated in 1907.

The year 1907 has established a
new high-water mark for the TWEEN
tieth century's gifts to education and
charity The figures for the year
as compiled from time to time from
the daily papers are $121, S56,s7S.
In 1900 the figures were $47,5OO,000
but the next year $1O7,SOO,OOO was
given, which was not surpassed UNI
til the present year.
That 1907 is a record year. in its
philanthropies is due directly to John
d. Rockefeller. When iii the second
of the months he gave that $50, 000,-
900 to the general education fund,
he insured first place for it among
his fellows-and incidentally wrote
his own name highest of all on char
ity's roll of honor.
To this might be added $10000,000
given by Mr. Rockefeller which has
not been made public.
Today he is to be thanked for
something more than $6S,55S,000 Civ
en- in all to various causes of the
public good.

the twelvemonth, totaling at $685.
