Several of the girls
who are lingering in
town and a few from

birthday luncheon given

was informal and the in

brate the natal day of

were varicolored sweet

received a corsa ge bou-
quet of the same
flowers. There were
pretty gifts for Miss
Zeile rendered with ap-
propriate- little speeches.
The entire program was
quite in the order of a

Philadelphia, Pa, who had suffered for
ten years from eczema, tried all kinds
of remedies and was cured in one
month after few applications of pos

The rapidity and effectiveness with

from every surface skin disease; ;

This wonderful healing agent is active
from the first applicatio when all

cure is effected. And its range of use

affection, from pirnples, rash, red noses,
inf1amed complexion, etc, TO those vir-

in this county a farmer and his

MAKING MILLIONS.

! Pocahontas county boasts that four
| steam dredges are in sight of the court
house at work on as many drainage
| ditch projects and that land owners in
| that county have voted TO expend as
| much as $4,000, 600 for drainage bitches.
more than half Of which viii be paid
| up in cash by the time the work is
| completed.
| The thing that makes this possible is
the Iowa drainage law which provides
for a special assessment district where
by the land benefited can be assessed
| separately from county or township
political divisions for the drama ge
work, and long time bonds issued. AL
ready the bonds are classed alongside
| of school district and municipal bonds
in the money markets.
| Pocahontas can see profit in spending
| s3,000,000 on drama ge bitches, what
could not the farmers OF another ami
older county do with that same amount
OF money in permanent road building?
1t would pave 500 miles of country
highway with a concrete pavement
nine feet wide on top and twelve feet
wide at the bottom. In the avera ge
central and southern Iowa county
twenty-four miles square it would
pave every road running in any direc-
ton every two miles apart. That is
no man could live more than one mile
from a paved country street.
But what about the cost? On
twenty year bond issue it would cost
each quarter section farm abutting
such paved road $3.50 per annum
for its 30 per cent of the cost and then
il would cost every quarter section OF
land in the county whether abutting
the pavement or not about $50 per an
mum for the so per cent which the pub
lie should pay. City property would
pay a levy of Is mills. s7450 per an
mum for the quarter section on the
pavement and $50 per annum for ev
cry olner quarter section would pave
the whole county. This is equal 70 six
per cent interest on an increased value
Of $500 per acre for the one farm and
Of 1920 per acre for the other farm.
If some such county had 500 miles OF
concrete pavements does any man be-
lieve for a moment that its farms
would not be worth s25 to $50 more
per acre?

Every Man on Trial.
IRev Ingram b. Bill.


Every man is on s.ial Each passing
day is the day of judgment. The jury

A suave and genteel young man has

Stigma of nameless wrong, and the

As TO REPUBLICAN, MENTORS

, Wickersham and the Sioux City
Journa, insis. thai Senators Cunmins
and Deliver are democrats and 70 be
summaruy thrown outside the gates of
republicanism. The republicans Of
the state of Iowa are equally insistent
that these senator's are republicans,
are fighting for republican principles
and for the continuation Of the party.
Now who is right?
The question is up 10 Iowa. The
Sioux City Journal may speak with
some authority as regards the faction
of which it has become leader since
its proprietor and editor suffered a
change Of heart 1t will be recalled by
those familiar with the Journal over a.
term of years and who recall the
speech Of its editor as temporary
chairman of a convention which nonli-
mated Cumnlins for governor, that
Cumnains represented the clear quill
Of republication in the mind OF that
great editor az that time. A review
OF The CunlnAns political biography
will prove definitely that Cummins
has not changed. He was progressive
~ insurgent then. He was advocat-
ing and fighting for the same things
then as now In Iowa he refused TO
abide by ard accept the railroad bills
dictated by corporations ard offered as
administration measures which must
be passed unchanged He is doing in
the senate what ne did in Iowa
The Journal suddenly fell away from
the progressive cause and lis leader.
It returned again to ''fossilization- in
politics. Why it changed it is not
the purpose TO presently discuss. But
what was republication in Iowa then
is republicanism all over the United
States now. The shelter plank IS re-
publican doctrine. preached and insist
ed upon by Taft as campaign mater
ial incorporated into the national
platform. It is the same Cuu1rins
and the same political creed. Who is
the apostateo Why the apostacy?
Wickersham has scarcely arrived at
the position of republican censor. No
man ever arrives thus. Theodore
Roosevelt. came as near it as any man
but Theodore Roosevelt could not tell
the Mississippi valley that the tariff
is practical carrying out Of the
pledges of the platform and the candi-
date and get away with il. Even
Roosevelt could not tell the middle
west and Iowa, that the railroad dill is
just and sincere measure as it was
written and thrown at congress TO be
enacted in the fear of reprisal and
make i go down. Il is not true. Iowa
is the censor Of its own republicanisrn
Uncle George has his part and say in
consistency or Inconsistency; but
wickersham, coming from the trusts 20
the cabinet to speak in the authority
to bind and unloose in republican Iowa
is half a joke and half an insult.
The Journal has attained the high
distinction of standpat leadership It
asserts in confidence that Cunmins
and Deliver misrepresent Iowa re-
publicauisrn. The question is up to
iowa Neither the Journal nor Wick
ersham is conclusive.
