HOW TO CUT DOWN
LIVING EXPENSES

Any Ottumwa family can make a
big saving and also be much healthier
by eating the deliciously appetizing
minnesota" Spaghetti at least twice
each week in place of meat.
minnesota" Spaghetti is four times
as nutritious as beef-steak and yet
costs only about one cent dish.
1t contains more preteids than most
foods and is therefore more strength
giving and less fattening.
It is fine for children-making their
bodies strong and healthy. And they
are fond of it's rich, nut-like flavor.
Insist on getting the genuine Min
nesota" Spaghetti, made from the
VERY BEST DURUM wheat with ALL
the wonderfully nourishing Gluten
left in.--Advt,

THE ENDURING PASSION.

tBy Berton Braley
When pretty girl goes By
There's gllmmer in my eye,
Just a flicker of delight
At SO glad and fair sight;
Youth and beauty and romance
These are what my rowing glance
Finds in every curve and curl
or passing pretty girl,
And my heart Is beating high
When lovely maid goes by.
II yield me TO her charm
As she passes, where's the harm?
I'll not follow her. or speak
Words to flush that peach.blow check
But my much.adoring gaze
Dwells upon her as she sways
Daintily a.down the street,
Gay and very blithe and sweet.
Love OF beauty's not amlSs.
Who shall censure me for this?
II ever get so
Care not as the girls 70 by.
II no glance OF mine shall rest
On the very pretticst.
Take me quickly then. pray,
And just bury me away
For, though may breathe and move
My Indifference will prove
That the life has gone from me
And I'm dead as dead can be.

A MISSOURI IDEA.

The governor OF Missouri has con.
.ceiyed the brilliant plan of calling out
three hundred thousand patriotic citt.
zens who will give two days work to
the construction and improvement OF
state highways. Thus, he hopes. 4
vast network OF good roads will spring
up In a twinkling and with scarcely a
dollars expense.
1t would be an inspiring sight for
this, grand army of Missourians 20
sally forth from farms and shops and
onlce buildings, all in the mid.suin-
mer sun and in ringing crusade Of
two brief days achieve what slower
and less, ingenious states require
years to accomplish. An inspiring
sight indeed! But what OF the quail.
ity Of the work thus performed?
Some waggish skeptic remarks that
when the first rain storm comes along
II will be well for the governor to call
his three hundred thousand citizens
back into service to hold umbrellas
over their new roads, in order that
they may not be washed away. Soma
such safeguard would, indeed, be
necessary, for few tasks require more
care In their preparation or more skill
In their execution than that OF road
building.
Money or labor in the hasty or H.
considered construction OF roads is
wasted. Highway building calls tor
ms much knowledge and supervision
as house building. 1t must be con.
Quoted in accordance with a farsigh:.
ed plan and with careful judgment
In the selection OF material. Each
road, In order that It may render Its
due measure OF service, must be Il

Hence the need of enlightened skill
and oversight in all such undertake.
ings.
The Missouri governors plan is ad.
mirable In respect to the enthusiasm
It seeks to arouse, but otherwise It
would prove costly and disappointing
It Is necessary. to be sure, that public
sentiment be awakaned and stirred to
the Importance Of good roads before
anything can be accomplished in that
great cause. 1t is this sentiment
which makes possible the issuance OF
bonds and the employment OF pract..
cal means for highway construction
and maintenance. But after a good
