The Outdoor M an,


The big outdoors is calling him
Turnout the livelong day;
A thousand hands seem hauling him
To many a forest way;
He hears strange voices summonlns

He sees long lines of breakers fling
Themselves upon the shore.
The prairie seems to say to him.
ITO horse. and ride for miles:
The flowers say good day 10 him
A distant river smiles;
He smells the scent Of mountain lr,
And longs for bed of moss:

MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS.
Davenport Times.l

The Davenport board of education
has taken cognizance of the fact that
with the advance of the cost of living
teachers salaries have to be advanced
If the teachers are to be paid the same
purchasing power" which their SAL
aries had a few years ago.
There is no class of workers for the
general public to whom people in gen
eral owe more than TO the faithful men
and women who make it their bust
ness TO train the children TO become
worthy citizens. And there is no tax
that is paid less grudgingly than the
tax for the support Of the public
schools
The action of the board is sure TO
meet the approval Of the people. The
teachers deserve the small increase OF
pay which each one Will receive. and
While the amount for each teacher is
not large the increase serves to sho"
the good will of the beard and the
community and will be returned TO the
taxpayers many fold in greater inter-
est in their work.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

Prentiss Ransom, whose energetic
missionary work and system Of road
dragging put the roads Of Owasa town
ship, Hardin county, Iowa, in printers
ink on the map Of the United States,
read the editorial in the Times Repub-
lican referring TO a road dragging bee
in Guthrie county where a stretch Of
highway across the county was ragged
in an hour and a half. He commends
the bee as a good objection lesson but
calls attention TO he fact that:
cover here IN Hardin county We
dragged sixty miles OF roads in Jackson
township in about two hours six times
this spring Namely: March 81, April
5, IA, "a, May 6 and 9. Our township

eighth year and the experimental stage
was passed long ago. The men with
the drags are always ready 70 come out
after the rains and smooth up the roads
with the same regularity as in any
kind cf farm work
st can not understand Why ehe people
in any community Will allow mile Of
road to remain in a roughened condi-
ton when for so cents il can be made
smooth as a floor with the road drag,
and so cents per mile is all we ever
paid in Jackson township. Owing to
objections shown in some localities to
dragging roads for 80 cents per mile.
an illustration Of the spirit abroad in
Jackson township seems timely: One
of the men who drags roads in the

so cents per mile. and in case they
cut out the so cents he would drag for
nothing, and when he became too feeble

Z the roads along his farm and in front
Of his house look like a. feed yard. The
man has the right idea. No man can
deny the fact. that a mile Of properly
dragged roads along his farm is
worth so cents
Yes. Mr.. Ransonn's man mas the right
idea It is one which should prevail
much more generally than it does. the
idea that every man along the line Of
highway has a personal pride and in
terest in the appearance and service
ability Of the road that runs past his
premises. Another right idea held by
