The Times Republican has repeated

nine feet wide on top and Jared out
On the sides 70 eleven feet wide at the
bottom and seven inches thick could be
laid on country highways at cost Of
not to exceed s6s per annun per quar-.

estimates the T.-R. has used s135 per
square yard as the cost of laying the
paving because this was the best price

Today we can present an article
which the road engineer employed by
Wayne county. Michigan. has pub

magazine He tells how they built an
"all-mixed" concrete road eighteen feet
wide for 81 per square yard last year
and were so well pleased with their
experimental mile that they are 60

Now an all mixed concrete road is

THE GREAT STATE ROAD,

Some persons are enthusiastic over a
Davenport west 70 the river. It is urged
that thousands of tourists would then
cross the state IN automobiles and sing
the praises Of Iowa. 1t would be good
advertising. It would rebound 10 the
credit of the state. And a. great deal of
this is true. It would advertise, and
a great number of automobiiists would
scorch along it on their way across the
state.
But Iowa is not in the boulevard
business or so much interested whether
the auto tourist finds path across Iowa
to his liking as in moving crops, haul
ing hogs and quick transit from the
farms to the towns and along the rural
mail routes. A great white way across
the state would be somewhat unique
and be useful so far as it assisted the
business of the state. But Iowa road
makers should put the stretch of good
troad where it will do the most good. If
there is to be state money expended 1t
should be to the encouragement Of the
further building Of highways from the
farm to the depot and the stockyards.

Undesirable Jurymen.


The jury commissioner Of Chicago.
recently objected to the drawing OF
certain classes of citizens for jury duty.
and his objections to them were ap-
proved BY the court. The original list
prepared by the commissioners is as
follows:
Actors. because they have no fixed
abode.
I.aborers and foreign tailors. because,
as rule. not OF sufficient education.
Boilermakers, because OF defective
hearing.
Saloonkeepers and bartenders, be-
cause of their occupation
Train dispatchers and tower signal
men. because they are doing a greater
service at their regular positions.
Medical and theological students
because they are exempt.
Peddlers. junk dealers, and scaven-
gers, for obvious reasons.
The commissioner also sought TO ex-
cluda all those persons who in pur-
suit of their daily task habitually &C
cept tips This list would include wait
ers, porters. BARRIERS. cabmen and the
like: but the court decided that the
objection of the commissioner was not
sound in such cases and refused to bar
men OF that such from jury service.
The list finally barred. however. is
worthy of consideration by courts in all
parts if the country.

OF cement and sand. At Mason City
this spring they have let a contract
for this latter kind of street pave
ment at $1.25 per square yard.
The point about it is that when the
T.-R said that farmer living eight
miles from town could have a concrete
pavement over the country highway all
OF the way to town for an annual tax
OF $50 for his quarter section If it adj
Joined this paved highway or u mills

T.-R. was figuring pavement at 1885
per square yard II they lay It in Mich
igan for 81 per square yard the cost
of good roads comes down accordingly.
The way to get this kind of per-
manent road is to extend the prin-
ciple of the special assessment drain

of road improvement district. Then
sell twenty year. AZ per cent county

the entire county. Under such plan
eighty eight miles OF paved country
highways could be built on eleven
roads leading out of a county seat
town and eight miles out on each for
s54.5o per annuna to a quarter section
farm abutting the pavement. plus Sls
mills levy on all city and farm proper
" within the Improvement district and
plus IL mills on all property within
Inc county: or 2 combined levy of
mills on all the city and farm property
within the Improvement district. Our
combined bridge and road fund levy in
Marshall county now equals AZ mills.
and our com bined city park and library
levy in town equals mills so this
mill levy per annum for eighty eight
miles of paved country highway would
easily be worth the money. While ii
would cost the quarter section farm on
the highway s54.5o per annum, it would
cost ether farms nearby only $40 per
quarter section per annum and it
would cost the $4,000 residence prop
erty in town only $3.50 per annum.
Eigh;y-eight miles of country pave
n7en-s would be cheap at double the
price.
An average land man would consid-
er that a za-n adjacent TO a paved
highway extending all the way from
the farm six miles or more to town,
would enhance the value Of that farm
$40 per acre over It's value If it had
no such road. The same would be true

BERYL'S NEW PEA.

Wonder If it was Bert Keltz who
started the newest story on Governor

started the celluloid collar scandal
about Iowa's dairyunaid governor. AT
any rate the latest Is that Governor
Carroll was espied eating peas with his
fork at polite function in q fashion
able home in Des Moines shortly after
his asceudancy to the exalted Office OF
governor The matter was so painful
that some Of his friends held a con-
ference over it, but none OF them dared
to approach the governor and give him
tip that his spoon was the proper
tool to use in eating peas. The matter
was so embarrassing to all of them that
they finally laid the matter before Sec
cretary Of Agriculture Wilson at Wash
ington, and Jim Immediately got busy
and had Wizard Burbank called up on
the carpet to see what he could do to
straighten out the dilemma. Mr.. Bur-

will not slip off the governors fork.
The new pea is called the Marrowlime,
the name being derived from the names
of both of its parents. The seed may
be obtained Of any congressman.

Mistakes Of Ministers.

Other causes than the unproductive-
ness Of families are adduced by DR..
Brady to account for the decrease IN
the ministry. He mentions the present
confusion of doctrinal standards, which
offers no answers to an inquiring spirit.
Then the old question of salaries -
not forgotten; but fresh contribution
to the discussion is his reflection on the
ecclesiastical blacklist" We read:
SIN ecclesiastical life the workings Of
the blacklist unofficial, Intangible, I'm
deflnable tho 1t be, are unchecked and
unhindered. Let the clergyman make
a mistake, not necessarily In morAlS
but in manners or in methods; let him
fail in a particular work. be the causes
what they may, no matter how much
of the result is due to his own inep-
titude or how much is due to the ig-
norance or the malice Of others. he
has to take the brunt OF It and bear the
burden OF it, go out before the world
with it back Of him. Man after man
have I seen and known whose career
has been blasted, ruined. because OF
something which at most was a very
venial fault, by no means irreparable.
It is the saddest phase OF clerical life.
Not only the question OF his bread and
butter depends upon his securing tho
approval of the village tyrant and
sometimes OF the urban ecclesiastical
despot but his work, the work to
which he has given himself, is spoiled.
his whole training is wasted, his future
Is impaired, because he has not pleased
somebody who happens to be the perl
son naturally consulted by other peo4
ple.N lay or cleric, when he is being
inquired about and considered for an
other field. The average man does not
look forward with relish to position
with such possibilities.
s.The usual every day hero ana
martyr is not only born but he must
be bred to the sacrincial point.
again, there is the persistent In
fluence OF puritanfcal views which
would fain conform the conduct OF the
clergy to rules and regulations which
have long since become obsolete for
the rest of the world. Lingering ana
archaic opinions as to the prophecies
force the minister into positions apart
from the people whom he serves. Tho
minister may not go TO the play, FOR IN
stance. even when 1t is play which
would benefit him physically. mentally,
and spiritually. The rest Of the con-
gregation will go. but he must remain
away and set good example--to whom
and for what, pray? The position IS
utterly irrational and senseless. but
opinion on the matter is we'll nigh uni
versal.
TT is a elimination Of these things
which has caused the steady decline
in the number Of candidates for the
ministry, and which accounts for the
terrible situation"

house rent free. BY the help OF the
wife and children the land was pre-
pared in fashion. One boy would
help Z neighbor and . team was OBJ
tanned from him to do the blowing. The
,plats plowed were such as ordinarily
went to waste. These piats were planted
to onions, were cultivated by hand by
various members of the family, the
father being able to help only a
small portion OF the time In the fall
the family sold 5000 worth Of onions
from what had been waste land. The
next year poultry and q couple OF cows
were added to the working capital OF
the family and the father partially re-
gained his health. This year about
$1,000 was made on the combined IN
terests of the family. Then a farm was
rented, the father becoming strong
again, and finally it was bought. and
within six years after this invalid, bank
rupt man had left the town he had 24O
acres of good Iowa land paid for and
he was out of debt. 1t simply shows
what pluck and intensive farming can
do, and illustrates what is in store tor
more people where the sons are sent
away off to the Dakotas or Canada to
obtain new lands. There are scores of
OF acres for both father and son, but
the sons are let go to some newer state.
This is not as it should be, for father
and sons should stick together and see
what can be done on the old homestead
when intensive farming is carried on.
This is what we believe ought to be
done.
We have other instances Of successes
of this kind, and there are many fall
ures at the same time. We know OF
a mantel worker who worked in a fac
tory until his health was shattered. He
was told to get out Of the factory and
away from tho city. He went a few
miles out over into New Jersey and
bought a small, rn-out farm. which
was so poor that the last owner could
not make living on 1t. This mans
neighbors felt sorry for him and rem
dered him all the help they could. He
went to work and by intensive methods
soon had the farm yielding good crops.
Twelve years have gone and the owner
has made enough to take his family on
a tour to Europe, and at the present
the income Of his small farm is many
times greater than any farm in that VI
cinity, and its owner is rich and well.
SO, then back to the land means
that many who are now doing very
poorly can do better by going back to
the land and taking the place OF the
fellow who has retired and who will
not engage in the real problem Of in
tensive farming. To this end we sug-
gest that the father keep the sons about
him by building little cottages for them
and dividing up the area Of the large
farm and letting them farm it. Those
who are retiring from the farm and
moving to town would do well to place
on their farms industrious men OF the
towns who are willing to work hard.
Would only recommend this in absence
of sons to take up the work.

these roads had been completed. If
he shouldn't GROSS the state at all the
state will survive.
What we want in the good roads
agitation is action. The first thing and
the best thing to do imm ediately and
now is to set the road drags going
and keep them going whenever weather
conditions indicate their need and
give opportunity. The tourist must
get along the best he may. What we
are looking for now is less advertising
of this kind and more work on the
roads
