DOOGING THE ISSUE,

Governor Clarke spoke in Birming-
ham, Van Buren, county, last Wednes-
day evening before members OF the
County Farmers institute, His SUBJ
ject was the capitol grounds extension
and the farmers gave him respectful
attention despite the fact that they
had already met in the afternoon and
adopted resolution condemning the
state legislature and the executive
council for having passed that very
bill.
The governor spoke in defense OF the
bill for two solid hours during which
time he never once alluded to the fact
that the people had been denied their
constitutional right to vote on the ex-
penditure. He made no effort to de-
fend either the legislature or the SUI
preme court for having framed and
upheld law that withheld the tax
payers from voting ON the levy. He
did not explain or say there was nee
essity for such action.
But he did dwell for two hours on
the fact that $2,0O0000 scattered
among Iowa's population of something
over 100000 people, did not mean a
very great sum to each taxpayer and
that for that reason, the farmers who
pay a big percentage of the taxes,
should not kick He told his hear
ers that raising the additional money
for paying their share of the tax levy
merely meant the selling Of a few
dozen eggs or several chickens.
That may all be true, but this fact
remains: The state is taking those
chickens and eggs without having the
permission Of the owners.
People who take chickens without
the consent Of the owners are usually
called bad name.
Governor Clarke and the executive
council are not fooling the tax payers
in this matter even if they do think

"But you like them" said the Way

One day Bruce Esmond came back.
II have perfect right to come"
he said to the Wayfarer, II am free

"a divorce" said EsmoId. "NowsI

The anger of the Wayfarer burst

Cecily stood there, looking at them
with grave eyes.
It was Esmond who answered hee.

said "And probably you think II

4 FIRST REAL INTERNATIONAL
ROAD. .f-

Ottumwa has been named as point
on the first real international ROAD IN
America, a highway extending from
the Gulf Of Mexico on the south to
Winnipeg and other important cities
in Canada on the north. Besides being
a road connecting two different coun'
tries. II has another distinction, that
OF being one Of the very few north
and south thoroughfares. The new
road is already reality from New
Orleans to Kansas City and its course
from the Missouri metropolis north Is
being determined as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Needless to say there are numer-
GUS routes the road might follow and
the enthusiasm of the towns along the
way is a strong factor to be considered.
Getting on the road means helping to
build and improve and maintain the
road and town that is lukewarm on
the proposition will more than likely
leave a muddy break in the thorough
fare. Ottumwans are properly en-
Unused over the idea and the result
IL that the road has been projected
north from Kansas City through Chilli
cothe to this city. The favored course
for the next section north of here is
the road to Cedar Rapids. Whether
this is the route selected, however,
depends upon the activity of the
towns and cities on the way.
II they appreciate what an lnterna'
tional north and south highway means
they will no doubt roll up their sleeves,
hguratively speaking, and make known
their desires. If they don't the likeli-
hood is that some other route will be
found wherein the towns are more IN
accord with the idea.
The advantages that come to city
from being on big highway are not
mythical, they are real. A trunk road
provides means for tourist auto
travel. for farmers to reach market
and an incentive to feeder" roads all
Of which aid in making the favored
city the center Of larger territory.
Furthermore there is reason to believe
that the government will shortly take
a real part in national road building
and where it is more likely to throw
it's aid than to those towns and cities
which have already indicated desire
for better roads? The international
north and south road will be interstate
and will probably be among the very
first to get aid, possibly governmental
supervision. In that case those towns
and cits.e Thich are on it, can well be

HOW DO YOU BUY?

You think you are careful buyer
but are you? Maybe you are an eX.
travagant buyer. 1t is possible that
you are an absolute failure in buying
your groceries. 1t is matter TOR you
to ask yourself about-and admit the
truth to yourself
Under present conditions, many
heads of families are finding II m
creasingly hard to make ends meet
while as far as making them lap IT.
tie, that seems impossible, they say.
But that is what must be done II any
progress or any provision for the 1u-
ture is to be made.
Every man ought to know that II ne
has good health but does not get on in
the world and accumulate something
he alone is to blame. The opportunity
has been before him.
Lack of thrift in household buying
is generally considered cause of the
high cost of living. The old-tlme
grocer never expected to sell less
than a whole ham or a shoulder or a
side of bacon, a bushel OF cornmeal, d
peck to bushel Of beans, peck o!
dried apples. A ten-gallon keg OF
molasses was common sale, almost
never a sale less than gallon ana
when the smaller quantity was pur-
chased buyers always brought their
own jugs.
Il is more than likely that you
haven't sufficient control over your
boy to get him to carry jug from the
grocery to your home. 1s that good
for himself? If you would tell him to
do It, would he? His grandfather dld
It, Is your boy likely to be better
man than his grandfather was?
Now people buy 10 cents worth OF
corn syrup and must have 1T IN TIN
can that costs three and one-half cents
to make. In place of bringing Jug
and getting a gallon Of vinegar for
twenty to thirty cents, they buy the
same sort Of vinegar in bottles 80 II
costs them eighty cents to one dolias
a gallon. They must have their ham
and bacon cut in certain sort o.
slices regardless Of the waste, BUY
ers taking only enough for a singH
meal say, ten to twenty-five cents
worth. '.
Another thing, people now buy the
hard staples Of living in what we may
say are fnfinitesimal quantities. me
storeroom in the home Is q rare thing.
MANY families now make separate pur
chases for every meal; they send or
telephone to the grocery dozen times
a day. It costs the grocer almost as
much to sell and deliver each lO-cent
sale as $500 one.
If the boys and girls In the pubic
schools could be taught the elementary
facts in regard to marketing, as we'll
