SCHOOLS ARE GROWING.

, The enrolment report of H. E.
Blackmar, superintendent Of schools, is
most gratifying in that it shows an in
crease of 172 in the number Of students
who are attending Ottumwa's public
schools thus far this year School at.
tendance is an excellent barometer for
learning whether a city is advancing
or going backward. When the attend.
ence in the schools shows decrease
year by year, it is sure sign that
the city is losing population and that
it has ceased to be what is termed in
the vernacular, "a live one"
4 A city with a population little short
of $4,000 and with more than 1000 or
a sixth of it's inhabitants in school, is
record to be proud of. 1t indicates

race can ever rightfully dress an
Anglo-Saxon people; the temperament,
the environment, the climate, TIE
needs-all are different, and 1t is upon
these that proper costume rests and Is
based. Moral conceptions and stand
ards are likewise different. The
fresher American mental outlook would
be absolutely. incapable in thinking
in terms Of the present degenerate
fashions; they are the expression of a
tainted Latin temperament.
Had we years ago, as We are now
doing, taken hold of the idea of Ameri-
can fashions for American women and
encouraged and accepted it, we should
not now be reaping the whirlwind OF

DO GOOD ROADS PAY?

r
The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
values and marketing prices, as well
asSthe gen eral economic welfare of the
community, is shown In several con-
crete illustrations which were gathered
by the u 8. department of agricul-
ture. In Lee county, Virginia, a farm
er owned 100 acres which he offered
to sell for 81 800. In 1908 his road was
improved, and although the farmer
fought the improvement, he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm. A nearby
tract Of 1888 acres is said to have sold
for $4,000. After road improvement,
the same farm was sold for $4,000. In
johnson county, Alabama, the people
voted bond issue for $250,000 for
road improvement. The selling value
at that time was Sc to SIS per acre.
The selling price Is now from SIS to
$25 per acre.
In another state, two farmers living
at equal distance from cotton market
learned by telephone that cotton had
gone up in price $1.00 per bale. The
farmer on. the bad road hauled one
bale Of cotton which was all he could
get over that road. The other farmer
on the good road was able to haul four
bales. The man on the good road
gained 81 by the rise in price, while
his neighbor on the bad road gained
only 81. A farmer in Sullivan county
Tennessee, had 100 bushels Of Irish
potatoes which he intended to market
during the winter. Owing to bad roads,
he was unable to haul the potatoes at

BONEHEAD BILL
BY Hugh Kahler, in Wells Fargo Messen

Bill is such stupid guy he doesn't understand
when all clever joshers knock him to beat the band
He lets pan him up and down and isn't even sore
when any brilliant lad like would up and spill some
gore The hardest slams go right past Bll-he misses
them mile and all the poor old smp do is smile and
smile and smile!
Bill is such stupid guy he doesn't seem to know
when he's attempting something that is bound to be no
60 When any clever lad like would stand aside or
wait, old Bonehead Bill keeps boring in-the poor,
benghted skate Before he'd that he was beat his
head would have to split and then it's ten to one
he'd lack the brains to quit!
Bill is such stupid guy he might as well be dead
don't believe he ever had notion in his head. He
never pulls funny yarn or springs pat reply, and
when us clever takers do Bill lets it get right BY He
hardly says thing and when he does forsooth,
he lacks Imagination so he has to tell the truth!
Bill is such stupid guy he stays at home at night,
instead Of sporting round with down town where
things are bright I never Bill take drink. He
doesn't care for shows and the openevenings savings
banks the only place he goes, for Bills ALFRED
stupid he just can't the fun of blowing half the
envelope before the weeks begun And Bill could stand
it pretty WE'LL becausewell don't you see he's

THE INCOME TAX,

After long debates on various
amendments to increase the tax on
larger incomes the democratic caucus
has finally adopted the amendment
proposed In the finance committee by
Senator Smith of Georgia. That leaves
the normal tax at one per cent on a
$4,000 minimum and provides an addi-
tional tax OF one per cent on incomes
over $4,000 to $4,000; two per cent
additional on incomes Of $4,000 and
$4,000; three per cent on incomes
