sunablv the land was bought for sale

If this nation ever becomes land OF

many, very many, farm owners 1t Is
far better for ten men to own one
hundred and sixty acres OF land each
than for one man TO own sixteen num-

The trouble with a great many Old
countries is that there are few land
holders, com impaired to the total popu-
lation. Such a condition means ex-
tremes Of wealth and poverty.
One of the greatest faults to be
found with Mexico is the fact that
a very few men own the bulk OF the
ara BILE land Maybe most Mexicans
are not sufficiently educated to be
land owners: but If they are not they
ought to be educated in that direction
at once. If Mexico were land of farm
owners instead of a land OF landlords,

feel that this curtailing OF their right
to play the paddle wheel was travesty
on justice. and they were out looking
for revenge. There was strong talk OF
organizing another business concern
to buck the one managed by the men
who had suppressed the gambling, and
others means of revenge were dis-

house on the hill, may have to make
room for another "R"-roads. The
Iowa state highway commission is of
the opinion that the child mind is

as good a place as it is to begin the
multiplication table, the first reader

mission and the state superintendent
Of public instruction, A. NJ. Deyoe, are
cooperating in the working out of a
plan, which in the beginning may not
rearrange the three RS" in the pri-
mary schools, to use the rural console
dated school houses of the state to
disseminate good roads gospel to the
fathers and mothers. The highway
commission proposes to make use of
the consolidated buildings this winter
in promoting a novel sort of short
course.
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief en-
gineer Of the commission, in a recent
letter to Superintendent Deyoe, said:
I'VE are formulating specific plan for
these meetings and will submit 1t to
you for your suggestions before TAX
ing up the matter with the county sup

matter in full cooperation with your
department., and are glad indeed to
know that we may count on your as
sistance and criticism in outlining

good results"

In one Of his replies to Engineer Mac
Donald, Superintendent Deyoe said:
Your proposition to utilize the school
plants in consolidated districts. where
lectures and exhibits concerning good
roads may be held, is exactly in ac-
cordance with the ideas have had in
mind from the beginning.
Il would like to attend one or two
Of the meetings you propose to hold
in order that may become acquainted
with the work that you are doing. I
am heartily in favor of, and in sympa-
thy with, your plan, and wish to assure
you that shall be glad to cooperate
In whatever way may be able"
Engineer MacDonald's plan will give
lectures and exhibits on good roads In

dent that unless life is injected into
the Iowa League of Commercial Clubs,
it will not be long in existence. Had
it not been for the loyalty Of local

by tho knights of Pythian ladies would
have been a dismal failure. but as 1t

loyal boosters from other parts Of the
state. made the banquet success from

what should have been the best session

hume was on deck with his usual
amount of vim. but Secretary McDon-
aid, of Des Moincs, failed to put in his
appearance but in his place came a
statement of $500 due him as salary for
q year. and two other bills. There
seemed to be some question regarding
the validity of this bill.
No Business Transacted.
Business was talked over by the few
present but as there were not enough
for quorum nothing definite could be
done. The present officers will hold
down their Jobs until successors are
elected. The secretary did not send his
minutes along and misunderstanding
existing as to his salary nothing could
be done until the record was looked up.

in defeating Upper Iowa University OF
Fayette by the decisive score Of As to o.
The fact that Upper Iowa had defeated
st. Joseph Of Dubuque and that st.
Joseph held Ellsworth to q 0 to 0 score,
led the dopesters to believe that the
game yesterday would be holly con-
tested with even chances for either
team to win. On the other hand. Up
per Iowa was unable to hold Ellsworth
and the only gains made by the visitors
was thru the medium Of the forward
pass which both teams used freely.
Just before the close Of the second
period. Iowa had advanced the ball to
Ellsworth's 10-yard line and threaten
ed to cross the Ellsworth goal which
has not been crossed this season. But
time was called before Iowa could DEM
onstrate its ability to put the ball over
either by a touchdown or the air
route. Ellsworth scored readily on the
visitors. as the score indicates and
while the visitors did their best it was
evident the team had not been coached
