Ames May 19.-Iowa bridge COM
panies, some of them at least, are Civ
ing the strongest kind Of help to the
iowa highway commission in UNFOLDING
the safeguarding features Of the bridge
building business under the new road
law. During the first few months there
was decided disposition on the part
Of some companies TO slip something
The only instance of it recently has
been the steel culvert business where
it has been necessary for State High
way Engineer Macdonald to bring
down the mailed fist
The more responsible of the bridge
builders, openly declare that doing bus
mess under present conditions Of
everything open and above board and
on the square Is far preferable to the
old methods in vogue before the new
law became effective. Some Of the
companies declare there is no money in
the bridge building business In Iowa
any more and state their intention of
withdrawing from the field. The one
company which has most often reiter-
ated this sta tement has practically
ceased to be a bidder on work where
there is competitive bidding but is con-
stantly seeking the smaller work
which can be let privately. AS a mat
ter of fact there are more bridge build

the past for dozens of concerns that de-
.cIined to go into the business under

REV. BYRNES RETURNS FROM
EUROPE.

Rev. James Byrnes, who, for the
past two years has been student of
the University of Louvain, returned
to Minneapolis from Europe last
week. The friends of Father Byrnes
were very solicitous about his well
fare, knowing that he was in the
midst of the war zone, and, not hav-
ing heard from him for weeks, were
very anxious about his safety. Father
Byrnes was in Germany practically
all the time that the war was In pro-
gress and at no time experienced any
Inconvenience or trouble from the
German authorities. Referring to the
great European conflict, Father
Byrnes states that there is but one
sensible view for Americans to take,
and that is the view of President Will
son, in his desire to have American
citizens and subjects suspend judg-
ment and remain absolutely neutral,
both as private citizens and as rep
resentatives of a great nation like
the United States. America is now
the only great moral factor whose
influence as nation, can be brought
to bear upon the warning countries.
Father Byrnes states that any other
attitude would be grave calamity

PRESIDENT NORTHROP is
EIGHTY YEARS OLD.

On September 30th, President
Emeritus Cyrus Northrop will cele-
brate his 8Oth birthday. Unfortun-
ately his present state of health will
not permit of public celebration,
which the alumni of the University
had planned. So it is suggested that
anyone who would like to honor him
and help to make his 80th birthday
happy and long-to-be-remembered
occasion, should write him letter or
postcard and mail it SO as to reach
him on the 3Oth of September. His
address is: Cyrus Northrop, 519
Tenth Avenue Southeast, Minneapo-
lis, MINI.
The foregoing proposition makes
it possible for friends of President
Northrop, not connected with the
University, to have hand in helping
him to celebrate.
The alumni of the University are
sending in letters of uniform size
which are to be bound in a book and
sent to him on his birthday.

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS

A paradoxical state of affairs was
revealed in the testimony of Henry
Zebro, an iceman of Minneapolis,
before Court Commissioner Bates,
when Zebro applied for admission to
the inebriates' home at Willmar.
Zebro had been an iceman for several
years, delivering ice in both "wet"
and dry wards. He said that at
every other house in the "dry" wards
a pint bottle of beer would be left
for him, while in the "wet" wards
there was seldom any beer left on the
ice chest for him. Zebro's route
consisted of eighty houses in "dry"
ward. Another man worked with
him, and every day, he said, he and
his partner were given forty pints
of beer. Each drank half. Finally,
he said, the tips from "dry" wards
got him into the habit of drinking
too much and so he determined that
the only way to stop was to take a
''cure."

PROSPERITY IN AMENDMENT
NO o.

Amendment No. 8, known as the
state forests amendment, is a move
in the direction of a greater and
more permanent prosperity from Min
nesota," says E. o. BUTLER, secretary
of the Minnesota Forests Association.
"The amendment provides that all
those state lands which are unfit for
farming should not be sold but used
as state forests. At least 100000
acres are affected by this amendment.
Whereas this area should become a
barren waste after being cut over
under ordinary conditions, under
these provided for by this amend
ment it will become a permanently
profitable resource. 1t will be profit
able not only for the state as state,
but for the people who inhabit it.
"The idea is just this: Create, or
maintain, large forest areas in Min
nesota to supply the necessary raw
material, and there will spring up in
various parts of the state wood-using
factories. These will employ many
men, and gather around them con-
siderable commercial communities.
All of these people will be consumers
of the products of Minnesota's farms.
The farmers will have more markets
at their doors, they will save trans
portation charges, they will get quick
returns. All this will mean prosperi-
ty for the farmer, and prosperity for
the farmer in a great agricultural
state means prosperity for all.
ut isn't too much to say, then, that
amendment No. 9 is prosperity

, are essential in some lines of manu-
facture; great reduction in European
demand for raw materials, partly
manufactured goods, resulting in par
tial readjustment and in losses.
ca Increase in the cost of living.
We subjoin also the opinion of
Prof. Seligman of Columbia univer-
sity:
'To the extent that the belliger-
ents will lose their export trade to
South America, Asia and Africa, ow-
ing to the general disruption of in
dustry, we shall have chance to
supply the deficiency, and this de-
ficiency is bound to be enormous.
Even if England and France are able
soon to keep the water lanes open,
their energies will be so much occu-
pied by the war as to cause great
falling off in their exports. So far
as Germany is concerned, probably
this all but complete cessation of
commerce will afford us an unheard-
of opportunity in South America and
Asia. There is every reason to be-
lieve that under favorable conditions
an immense impetus will be given,
more particularly to the textile, and
the metal industries, the influence of
which will considerably overbalance
any possible loss from fall in the
price of our raw materials"
The Favorable conditions" men,
toned by Professor Seligman refer
to 1.-The possibility of securing the
bottoms in which to transport this
vastly increased output of industry"
And he says that what is really the
crux Of the problem" is "our ability
to establish merchant marine"
