Editor Herald In reading the
Boosters plan for permanent roads !
noticed that only one of the speakers
suggested any plan of permanent
character. That was G. ID. French,
He advocated brick roads as the best,
There seems TO be big demand Tor
something permanent. l have never
seen the time when dirt and water
did not make mud (only when frozen)
There is no use TO expect permanent
roads from grading, thing and drag
Iging, unless there is some solid sub
stance added. Good permanent roads
will cost money. Why some parties
with the authority could not select a
half mile or mile of road, Of average
conditions and make it into sample
road, using brick, crushed rock or
something OF a permanent nature, so
that the cost and quality Of such road
could be estimated.
0there states are building perman
ent roads, without the aid of the gov
eminent. Simply by paying for them,
knowing the benefits they receive. |
would say, let Mahaska county get
busy and build mile of sample road
and see how much ii will cost TO
make the main lines inc roads that
can be used twelve months in the
year. Perhaps there are those who
win say: Well, here is a smart Alec
telling how to make good roads" II
such have a better plan let them sug-
gsst it Get away from theories.

NEVER GROWS OLD.

THE universal joy of Christmas is
certainly wonderful. We ring the
bells when princes are born or toll a
mournful dirge when great men pass
away. Nations have their red-letter
days, their carnivals and festivals,
but once in the year and only once,
the whole world stands still to cele-
brate the advent of a life. Only Je-
sus Of Nazareth claims this world
wide, undying remembrance. You
cannot cut Christmas out of the cal
endar, nor out of the heart of the
World?"
Are You shedding abroad any OF
.Christ's love, and does it radiate from
every gift you have given or intend
to give to your friends? If it does
not you have missed the spirit OF
christmas and also the peace and joy
which comes only to those who have
accepted the greatest of all gifts,
eternal life. Why not accept today
and cease striving after that which
satisIyeth not and be born again into
the likeness Of the Christ whose birth
We are now celebrating.
The kindness of Christmas Is the
kindness of Christ. To know that
God so loved US as. to give us His
son for our dearest brother, has
brought human affection to its high
est tide on the day Of that brothers
birth. If God so loved us, how can
we help loving one anotheT?"-H. o. G.

Morgan, John d. Rockefeller and
others, just $26,S05 The original
idea was that the Exchange, by
charging 81 for getting a laborer a
job, the employer paying half and the
workman half, would not only be of
service both TO employers and worthy
employees, but would be a measure
self-sustaining and would satisfy a
need. Three years of experimenting

Mr.. E. w. Carpenter, the manager,
lit has been our experience that many
OF them are either incompetent or I'M
reliable. In filling our orders it has
been amply demonstrated that we
have to depend largely on those who
are employed but wish to better them
selves. There are a great many men
seeking clerical work who are not
fitted for it, with the result that if
they secure position they are I'M
able to hold it, and would have been
much better off had they learned a
trade. Many young men are given
just enough education to give them a
ldistaste for manual work, but not

Cattle Show Reaction.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The bad jolt the
cattle market received week ago
on account of excessive receipts dis
couraged shipments from the Coun.
try and so Monday the supply was as
much too small as ii was too large
last week. Sellers had a chance to
recover most of the decline and sue
ceded well in doing it, though quality
was poor and buyers did not approve
of the kind of steers that were offered.
Prospects are that receipts will be
very light the remainder of the week
because of the holiday Wednesday.

nIlR BOYS.

Twas a cold Christmas morning.
Of long, long ago;
Every Vllage and hamlet
Was buried in snow -
And Santa Claus travelled
With reindeer and sleigh,
And came down the chimney
Al dawn OF the day.
Young Bobby McDougal,
A youngster of ten,
For weeks had been counting,
And counting again;
The days and the hours
As Christmas drew near
And he dreamed, hoped and doubted
And now it was here.
From his cot in the attic,
He bounded with vim,
And there on the old-fashioned
Fireplace for him;
A stocking was bullying,
From toe down to toe,
And his eyes were agleain.'
And his cheeks were agloW.
A pair OF red mittens,
A jumping jack, too,
Some real store candy,
All red, white and blue.
Some cookies and doughnuts,
Said Robbie with glee,
"Oh JENNY CTicEets, ,....,. ,r..f.
Are these all for me-"
twas cold Christmas morning,
Right here and today:
Where the auto has banished
The reindeer and sleigh.
And Santa Claus pack
Was the shop and the store;
And the boys wanted all
That they saw, and some more.
Young Bobbie McDougal
The second, arose
From his downy, warm bed,
And put on his best clothes.
While his father, the Bobbie .
OF long, long ago,
Was arranging a fortune
In gifts down below
All the stocking in town
Wouldn't hold Boobies share
OF gifts he surveyed,
AS he slid dawn the stair.
A sweater, a cap, i+2Gts,%t'
And q fur oyercoat;
An airship, a wagon, ,4s
A sled and boat
&a a~!ug ~
Most every contTiyance
For making a noiss,-,
And candy and peanuts.
And all kinds of toys. ... - ~.
And Bobbie5 the second,
Declared with regret:
"Come on now, quit kiddin',
What else did get?"

If it is true" questions the Cour-

officials have been competent men,
then the fact that the city owes near
ly 100000 more than it legally can,
and that the city had to pass the hat
and take up a $4,000 collection, must
necessarily be due to the poor system
of government under which these men
had to work. The results convict the

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Receipts of hors-
es were fairly large and the market
duh and slow. Not many buyers
were on hand and competition was

to choice drafters.

There is not joyful boy or an limo
