LET THEM SKATE.

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
1t is suggested that the papers make
a campaign against the use Of side
walks for roller skating. For one we
can not join in that. Let the children
have their fun. If you will mind your
own business while walking along, the
tots won't bump into you-and what II
they should? You ought to be glad to
have little girl come that close to
you. If necessary, get off the sidewalk
and let them have the right of way.
The little girls skating on the walks
are to the busy streets what the flow
ers are to the fields in the spring
time. Don't get mad at flowers or at
little girls.

NATURE is AIDING.
rDes Moines Tribune.l

Nature is doing what it can to en-
phasize the good road argument.
| From present appearances Iowa Will
have the worst roads this spring In
many years.
The bottom has gone out already,
and the worst is not yet.
| It is all nonsense to talk about
dirt road in Iowa. Ten minutes OF
hard rain will make the best dirt road
impossible for automobiles, and few
hours of rain will make it impossible
for wagons.
The money it would cost to make
gravel roads after the Minnesota plan
would he the cheapest money Iowa ever
expended.
Let us recall the Minnesota gravel
road as it is being built under state
AID:
In making clay and gravel improve
ments. the road is first leveled to a
permanent grade. A bed OF five inches
of clay is placed on this grade and
thoroughly rolled and Compacted.
layer Of three inches OF gravel is then
put on and rolled in, after which three
inches more are added at the center,
and five inches placed out from the
center at each side Of the road. If
there are any depressions a drag is
taken over the road, putting it in per-
feet condition.
What proprty owner in Iowa would
hesitate to pay his share for such a
road as that between his home and
town?
Let us talk sense about this road
business.
Iowa is ready for surfaced roads. II
this legislature believes the kickers
and mossbacks speak for Iowa senu-
ment, it is making a fatal mistake.

Spring Planting.
For everything except stone fruits
in the tree line fall is considered the
best time for planting. However, it Is
not always possible to do the planting
in the fall, and some Of it must be done
in the spring. Peach trees and other
stone fruits should always be set out
in the spring. This season seems to be
their natural time for starting new
growth.
In late winter it is we'll to look over
catalogs and select trees, vines and
other plants that are wanted for spring
planting. The complete list should DO
made up and the order sent in early.
1t is important to send the order early.
The dealer will hold your order for
seasonable shipment. II the order il
received late and in the rush Of the
shipping season, your particular order
may be delayed. Early orders receive
the most prompt attention, and they
are usually sent out in time.
All who have had experience with
spring planting Of fruits, vines and
ornamentals, know the Importance Of
getting the plants in the ground early.
A few years ago we planted fifty
young peach trees a little late in the
season. Spring and warm weather
came on early. The peach trees budded
out early and looked promising for q
few weeks, and then all died. The trou-
bic was they were planted SO late that
the feeding roots did not have a
chance to get a start in the new soil
before warm weather. The top de-
manded more than the roots could sup
ply. Earlier planting would have
saved the trees.
Strawberries should be in the ground
as soon as the soil is dry enough to
work. When planted early in the
spring. when the soil is moist and the
weather cool, almost all of the plants
will live and grow. 1t is difficult to
make plants grow when set late. The
idea Of early planting is to get the
plants in the soil while it is full of
moisture and the weather is COOL Then
the roots will begin to grow and take
hold of the soil before top growth be-
gins. When warmer weather comes
on the root system will be established
and strong for supporting normal top
growth-H H. s.

WHEN CRITICS DISAGREED.

Professor Lounsbury tells a, good
story which seems to show that, in
the matter of poetry, critics hold d.
verse opinions, and that one mans
opinion is as good as another's. Ac-
cording to the professor, Aubrey De
We're, the Irish poet, collected on the
same day the opinion of three of his
brother poets on the poetical stand
ing of Burns.
One of these poets, who was Ten
nyson, said Burns songs were per-
feet, but that one had to forget his
serious pieces to enjoy them. The
second, who was Wordsworth, said
that Burns Serious efforts" showed
great genius, but that his foolish lit
tie amatory poems were worthy only
of oblivion. The third was Sir Henry
Taylor, who said that he found
Burns songs and his serious poems
alike tedious and disagreeable.-At-
lantic Monthly.
