RURAL CARRIERS
TELLS OF ROADS
MEN WHO TRAVEL THE COUNTRY
HIGHWAYS SAY THAT MOST
ARE DRAGGED.
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.
While a Few Spots Were Dragged
Light or When Dirt Was
Too Hard, All Agree on the
Roads as Good.

The farmers in Wapello county are
alive to the wisdom of dragged roads
and do not permit the right dragging
conditions to slip by without some
part Of the highway being dragged
So at least it would seem from the
reports made by number OF the rural
free delivery carriers at the postoff1ce
These men more than any other class
realize the value of good roads. They
make their trips over their several
routes each day except Sunday and
none are more alive to the needs OF
the roads. A number of the carriers
were personally seen yesterday after
noon upon their return to the office
from their trips and In almost every
case the report was that all OF the
routes we're dragged since the spring
began to- open.~ It is true some or
the roads had not complete dragging
but others had, and none had not bene-
fitted to some extent by the up to date
and progressive country resident who
is alive to the importance to good
and we'll kept highway. The men in
terviewed travel in the various direc-
ticns out of Ottumwa and included a
majority OF the carriers. Some re-
marked that a part Of their routes
showed too light drag, while others
said that the ground had become too
hard before the drag was used. AS q
whole the report revealed that the
Wapello county farmer is keen regard
ing good roads, and that he will see
to it that the road law is observed in
letter and spirit in this county.
Carriers Interviewed.
H. Robinson of route No. whose
territory runs northeast through Dab
lonega said: Most OF my route has
been dragged. The general condition
OF the dragged road is good and there
is not more than twelve miles Of the
route not dragged. This will be drag
ged when the right weather conditions
it."
John Valley Of route No. which
runs along the Blue Grass road via
says of his route that the
entire length had been gone over and
although rough in spots due to faulty
dragging, or oIner conditions the road
in general is good.
John Slaughter, carrier of route No.
3 running north OF town, said that for
q half mile east Of Center school
and east of the county farm there had
been no dragging, but that the balance
Of his route was in good condition and
had been dragged.
Francis M. Smith OF route No. 6 run
ming through Center, Green and Keo-
kuk townships south Of the river, said:
MY route is mostly in good condition
and all Of it has been dragged. There
are a few spots where the dragging
was not perhaps just what 1t should be
but as a whole the route is in good
shape"
o. B. Galpin, carrier Of route No. 8
which runs along the north side OF
the river and west of the city, said
that all his route had been dragged
and the condition is good.
The general concensus of opinion
among the remaining carriers is that
4 similar condition prevails on their
routes, thus demonstrating that good
roads gospel has not been wasted in
the county.

Grants Son Hears Sad News.
Washington, D. c., April 12.-Captain
y. S. Grant, third, the only son OF the
late General Frederick D. Grant did
not learn of his fathers sudden death
in New York until an early hour today
He was overcome by the news and
took the first train to New York. He
expected to arrive before noon.
No one here was in position to-
- to make an authoritative statement
- to the funeral ceremonies nor was
it known whether the body will be
buried in Arlington national cemetery.
It was suggested the remains might
be inferred in the tomb where his
illustrfous father lies in the great
memorial in Riverside park New York
City.
Having been at the time of his
death an officer of the highest rank on
the active list in the army, the late
General Grant will be entitled to a
most imposing military funeral II such
is the desire of the members of his
family.
Carter May Get Post
General Grants death vacates the
POST which, next to that of chief Of
staff is regarded as the most i'm
portant in the army-commander in
chief of the great eastern division.
This position is of great Importance
that it cannot long be permitted to
remain vacant hence it is probable
that very soon after the funeral it
will be necessary to detail an officer
of high rank for the position. prob.
ably Major General William H. Car
ter, now assistant chief of staff.
General Carter was the commander
Of the famous maneuver division in
Texas last year and was slated for
detail as commander in chief Of the
department Of the lakes with head
quarters at Chicago. It is thought this
program will be abandoned in view
Of the present emergency.

NOT GIANTS IN THOSE DAYS

A German savant, nothing daunted
by the tabled size of the ancient
Gauls or by the huge swords and
prodigious pistols of medieval
knights, has interviewed the keepers
of several Germanic museums who
are known to be authorities on ev-
martial outfit. The Kastellan of the
famous castle of Ambras near Inns
bruck, himself a man of barely av-
erage size told him he had tried on
every suit of armor in his collection
and found not one large enough Tor
him. his experience was corroborat-
ed by that of the even smaller custo-
dian OF the castle of Vaduz the cap
ital of the tiny principally of Lich-
tenstein. Our informant relates
that when, in the early days of the
reign of Queen Victoria, the English
aristocracy planned tournament,
the participants in which were to APP
pear in medieval armor, all the
available material was found much
too small. With characteristic Ger
man thoroughness, our savant has
now examined the proportions Of the
figures depicted in medieval NINA
lures, and finds them wofully lacking
in girth Of waist thigh, and calf.
Even Durer, in the famous Paumgart'
ner altar of the old Munich Pinako-
thek, has left on record number of
sadly attenuated contemporaries, as
against whom the well rounded allie
gorical figures typifying the triumph
of Emperor Macmillan can carry to
weight. In addition, We are reminded
of the low doors of old Gothic houses
and the short beds within.

ADVERSE TO
OLD SOLDIERS
Democratic Congress Passes legis'
Iation Aimed at Veterans

Every old soldier will remember
the attitude of the Democratic party
toward the veterans Of the Civil war
when it was last in power. Hundreds
Of bills granting pensions to deserv-
ing soldiers were angrily vetoed by
President Cleveland, and no consid-
Grafton whatever was given to the
,ct that the old soldiers, now de-
creasing in number by reason OF
deaths, are facing an old age which
makes 1t impossible for them to Ia
Dor.
The Democratic party came into
power in the house of representative
two years ago II insisted upon the
abolition of all the pension agencies
in the United States and so the pen
sion Appropriation bill was not pass
ed until August Is, more than ten
million dollars being withheld from
hundreds of thousands of aged, in
firm and needy survivors of the Civ
IL war and their dependents for near
ly two months.
In order that pensioners might get
their money, even after long delay,
the senate was finally compelled to
yield to the Democratic policy of abb
olishing pension agencies. President
Taft was forced to sign the bill for
the same reason. The attitude of the
veterans toward this Democratic blow
at the pension system is shown in
a resolution adopted by the Grand
Army OF the Republic at the national
encampment d. Toledo. This de.
clares that the abolition Of the agen-
cies would work inconven epce and
to the aged and infirm sur
vivors Of the Civil war AMI heir de-
pendents. There Is no doubt that II
a Democratic president should be
elected. together with a Democratic
further Legislation adverse
to the old soldiers would he adopt

many, Reports What He
Found.

One of the ost persistent misre-
presentations of which low tariff
writers and speakers are guilty is
that the products of American fac
tories, particularly farm implements,
are sold cheaper abroad than at home
This falsehood has been rebutted
again and again, and still 1t keeps
bobbing up. And so 1t may be
worth while to reprint letter which
the lola, (Kan.) Register recently
published from citizen of that state
who has been on a visit to his old
home in Germany letter which, by
the way, contains some interesting
evidence as TO wages and style of
living abroad. AS the Register says:
Read it and quit your grumbling:
The manner of farming has i'm
proved, as / find much American
made machinery here. Mccormick,
Deering and other Implements are
in abundance, but cost much more
here than they do in America. They
buy the 5-foot Mccormick mower for
$40. and everything else is in pro.
portion. You may take il all the
way through and a dollar will buy
Just as much in the states II not
more. Labor is much cheaper here
than in the states. Common farm
labor is on an average of 40 cents
a DAY In harvest, and other times 25
and 30 cents. Masons and other
mechanics receive 81 to $1.25 a day
OF ten hours. Railroad engineers
get from $50 to $50 per month. You
can figure out for yourself that thew
nave very cheap way of living. The
people here are stout and robust The
women work in the fields yet as well
as the men, and on an average the
women are much stouter than most
men in America. The country looks
ike big garden spot, where flowers
are seen much oftener than weeds
Inc highways are magnificent and
autos can travel without being stuck
in the mud. Crops are good here
but hard to save"
