Editor Courier.
We are all talking good roads these
days, and no one needs them as bad
as the farmers, and no one uses them
as much. We are very much interest
ed in this subject but do not believe
the farmers will take kindly to this
last howl that is going the rounds of
the papers about narrowing the roads.
1t is true that at the present time
there is some waste land along the
highway but when the surplus dirt has
been used in grading up and widening
out the low and narrow places and
our roads are put in shape to conform
to our present needs there will not be
SO many weeds along the highway as
at present
There never was time when we
stood SO badly in need of good wide
thoroughfares as at present. 1t is
only few years back when our good
housewife or daughter could take al
most any old team off the farm and
60 to town with safety, but how
changed now, since the Lord of the
Automobile has come on earth. He
comes at her at forty mile an hour
Clip and if she happens r. get caught
in some narrow place, disaster is al
most sure to follow
Mr.. Editor, these conditions have
come to stay and Instead of talking
narrower roads in order to raise
money we should plan to make our
road bed broader and smoother and
have fewer narrow places where it is
dangerous for teams TO meet auto
mobiles. Now, Mr.. Editor, let me say
word about this howl that is going
up for narrow roads. 1t is not that our
roads are too vida oh. not is be-

oTTUMWA HAS STARTED
SOMETHING.

An eloquent demonstration OF the
new Ottumwa spirit was given at the
open meeting of the Commercial as
ISOLATION last night The meeting was
called to bring together the 400 or
more new members who have brought
the membership of the boosters above
the 900 mark. 1t closed when the mem
hers nv a rising vote gave their ap-
nroyal to a new membership campaign
DESIGNED to Increase the strength OF
the boosters to 800.
The gathering was Of different ma
ture than anything ever held In ot-
tumwa in the past. In the first place
the attendance was larger. The
Arnaory was packed with men from all
walks of life in Ottumwa. Then, the
program was not the usual kind given
similar gatherings. There were no
long speeches filled with generalities
concerning Ottumwa's past, present
and" future; instead there were terse
three minute talks in which the
speakers told just what they thought
s. Ottumwa should do and how it should
be done In addition every man in the
room was given a card in which he
was asked to answer questions as TO
what Ottumwa needs most, and how
we should get it. The answers given
to these questions cuts out the work
for the Commercial association for
several months to come, but if the
spirit manifested at last nights meet
ing continues to exert itself, Ottumwa
will get all these things and more.
1t was agreed on all sides that it
was the most enthusiastic "get to-
gether'' meeting ever held in Ottum-
wa. The Young Mems Booster club,
through whose efforts the membership
of the association was increased four
fold, found in their campaign that
every man they solicited to become a
member had faith in Ottumwa. They
pointed the way to give more strik-
ing demonstration Of that faith by
accompanying it with work. Their
enthusiasm seemed to be con-
tagious, for there were evil
dences on all hands that the ''get
together" meeting last night served its
purpose. The old members and the
new members got together" and
pledged themselves to put their shout
ders to the wheel.

A Monster Of LEARNING

knew an amazing number of languages
and dialects. Perhaps he is best known
tosthe modern English reader from the
eulogy to be found in one Of Byron's
memoranda, published by Moore.

whom never could abide. don't re-

Wigs and Trousers.

The wig went out and gave place to
the natural hair, powered and pig
tailed, as result Of the movement
back to nature which accompanied and
preceded the French revolution. But
why did the wig come in? Some say
that Louis XIII. started the fashion
when he began to grow bald, the court
initiating him out Of desire to please
the monarch. Be that as it may, the,
wig "caught on" as few articles Of
costume have ever done, and those who
have begun to despair Of the mascu
line leg ever being emancipated from
the trouser may find comfort In the
fact that wigs prevailed for consid>
erably more than century in Eng
land, whereas trousers scarcely existed
hundred years ago, to say nothing Of
being the universal wear. - London
