Sidewalk Sketches
RUB BE RS.
By Howard L.Rann

Rubbers are small, uneasy articles
which people wear on their feet in or
der to sidetrack a sore throat. A man
who wears rubbers year in and year
out, quits smoking and ornaments his
neck with a red flannel bandage per-
fumed with turpentine and lard will
never have to have searchlight run
down his throat in order to see II
anything Is out Of plumb.
Rubbers are made of some clinging
material which has the habit of set
thing down on an appearing corn and
striking 1t in the face from time to
time, causing the wearer to bend
back his toes with a gesture of alarm.
Shoe statesmen encourage this diaboli-
cal practice by feeling around care
fully, when fitting on rubbers, and To-
eating all of the corns which can be
reached from the outside, then pull
ing on a rubber with teeth in it. like
set screw.
New rubbers are always given one
coat Of paste filler and three coats OF
shellac, after which they are rubbed
down to a bright piano finish and fit
ted over shoes which are BACKED on
Christmas and Fourth of July. This

affords striking contrast in colors
and saves the price of shine. After
a rubber has been imbedded for a
few times in nine inches of clay sub
soil, however, it cannot be told from
any other part of the foot.
Rubbers are SO constructed by IN
scrupulous manufacturers that they
will never fit more than one pair OF
shoes, thereby compelling people who
change their shoes on Sunday to in
vest in another pair. A man may
own six pairs of IN shoes on a b
last, and he will be lucky to find one
pair of rubbers that he can get into
without backing up against the wall
and throwing his knee cap out OF
Joint.
The toe rubber is a treacherous at
tachment which has to be unscrewed
by main force in the front hall, but
always falls off in the middle of
muddy crossing, leaving the wearer
hung up in mid-aid with one leg point.

Of rubber also manages to stay

CHAPTER XII.
It seemed to him a long time before
he reached the corner. He darted
around it-yonder sped Fran like a thin
shadow racing before the moon. She
had taken the direction of the open
fields, and so swiftly did she run, that
the sound of his pursuit never reached
her ears. She ran. Abbott ran. 1t
was like a foot-race without spectators.
At last she reached the bridge SPAN

new, built to replace the foot-bridge
upon which Abbott and Fran had stood
on the night of the tent-meeting. Was

misunderstanding. revealed by similar

she had been rescued from the wide

possibly upheld by the knowledge
that a sudden advent of Miss Sap

presence. as she paused in the middle
of the bridge, and with critical eye

In the discussion of the good roads
question the legislature should not
overlook the necessity of making some
provision for wider-tired wagons. Tests
by the war department have shown
that wide tires haul heavier loads and
are more economical in the long run,
though they may cost more, than mar
row tires. Hauling heavy loads with
narrow-tired wagons will ruin the best
paving. There should be some dis
cussion of the tire question. If the
people can be educated to the use OF
wider tires road and paving mainten-
ance will be made less of problem.

This remark was brought out by
some senator insisting that vote be
taken on a measure that the Indiana
senator thought had not been fully dis

lutely right in insisting that sufficient
time should be taken to discuss and
weigh all phases of any proposition

another list of names to the list OF
these who gave up their lives in polar
expeditions A pathetic feature OF
the tragedy is that it occurred after
the goal had been reached. The Scott
party reached the pole a month after

COMBINATION IN IOWA.

The Iowa State Drainage asSOClaliou
seems to be- one organization tnal
realizes that Iowa has conservation
problems to work out which are just
as impol tant to this state as the con
seryation problems of the west are to
the western states. Iowans generally
look upon conservation as something
far away, something relating wholly to
saving western forests and irr1gatlne
arid lands. The policy Of conservation
Is broader than that.
Clifford Pinchot, former chief
forester of the United States, gives
this definition Of conservation: Con
servation looks to the planned, order
" and complete development OF a
greater nation, a happier people In
continent saved from waste
Former President Theodore Roose'
welt says: CONSERVATION does not
mean non-use or non-development. 1t
does not mean tying up the natural
resources Of the states. 1t means the
utilization Of these resources under
such regulation and control as Will
prevent waste, extravagance and
monopoly, but at the same time not
merely promoting, but encouraging
such use and development as will
serve the interests Of the people gen.

President Taft in a special message
to congress makes the term employ

the reclamation and irrigation OF arid
and semi-arid and swamp lands; the

The Iowa State Drainage association

were deeply interested. This associa-
tion has done much to bring about the
reclamation of thousands Of acres OF
iowa lands. The association will hold

subjects on the program for discus

well in furthering the work OF reclaim
