A town that has a lot of vacant
store rooms and dwellings does not
appeal to people who are looking for
a location, either as a place in which
to live or in which to do business.
The best way to keep the store
rooms occupied is to patronize the
men who occupy them. When the
store buildings are all in use the
residences are sure not to be idle.
Yet some of the largest property
owners in some towns send away for
the things they could buy at home.
OF course there are none of that kind
in Webster City, but other towns
have them.

If the national highway associa
ton succeeds in it's campaign to in
duce congress to enact a bill for &
system of national highways as pro
posed there will be plenty of roat
work left for the counties and states
to do. The national organization
has planned a system for nationa
roads that embraces about $4,000
miles of highways. These lead from
ocean to ocean and from state CAPT
tai to state capital. They are to be
hard surfaced and will cost from
$1,000 to $4,000 per mile. When
they are completed, or while they
are in the course of construction, the
states may build roads leading to
them. 1t is proposed by the nation.
al commission to have two roads
put through Iowa. One is on the

ming through Webster City, and the
other one will go through Des
Moines. Efforts will also be made
to have third government roat
pass through this state and the
chances are good for it if the gener'
al scheme of national road making
succeeds. If the tax is restored up
on tobacco, as proposed, the burden
will be SO light as to be hardly no
ticeable and there will be sufficient
revenue derived from that source tt
build the fifty thousand miles of ma
tional roads in comparatively
short time. What a fine thing il
would be to have hard surfaced
road passing through Webster City
with the Atlantic ocean the eastern
and the Pacific ocean the western
| terminus. With such line in this
part of Iowa it would be very short
time until connecting roads would
be built to it from every town with
in twenty or thirty miles to the
north and south. That would make
overland travel joy and a pleasure
and would increase all kinds Of bus

Congressman Connolly has just in
troduced a bill in the national house
providing for the appropriation Of
$4,000 for an addition to the post
Office building in Waterloo. If the
Improvement is needed, there will
be no objection. Yet if it is good
policy for the government to make
such appropriations of public funds,
benefitting only comparatively
few, why isn't it good policy to
make appropriations to improve pub
lie highways, which, in the end,
would benefit practically every in
habitant in the country?
There is now talk of Jerry Sulli-
van returning from New York to
contest the senatorship with Cum
Minis. Mr.. Sullivan has a good job
under the present administration
and it is hardly likely that he will
leave it to embark upon campaign
that involves so many uncertainties
as a contest for the senate. How
ever, if Iowa is to be represented by
a democrat in the upper house it is
to be hoped that man of senatorial
size will be given the commission,
and Mr.. Sullivan is head and should
ers above the average of those al
ready suggested as candidates, eth
er on the democratic or progressive
tickets.
According to reports from Shen-
andoah, w. D. Jamison of that city
will be candidate for United States
senator on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Jamison was at one time mem
Der of congress from his district and
is a man of some qualifications. But
he is hardly of senatorial size and in
point of ability and accomplishments
is not in the class of Cummins or
Kenyon. He would compare favor
ably, however, with such candidates
as FRANKIE, Bashor, Stuart and 9TH
ers whom the third party progress
sives are trying to get into the ring
as candidates. There seems to be a
dearth of timber for suitable mater
ial in the opposition ranks for a can
didate against Cummins.
Since President Wilson doesn't
like the idea of allowing American
coastwise shipping to have any free
toll privileges in connection with the
Panama canal, we rather expect
that the free toll clause will be
knocked out of existing laws. AS

all-for the present.-Waterloo
Courier.
And the president is right about
it. Government ownership doesn't
mean that Americans shall have the
free use of government service in
private enterprises. There is no
more reason why American ships
should be given free passage through
the canal than there is why Ameri-
can business men should be given
free use of the mails. The govern
ment should get enough revenue out
of the canal, if possible, to pay in
terest on the investment, keep up
repairs and create a sinking fund
for future needs.

When he had said goodby to his friends he calmly went to bed and slept until 5 o'clock in the morning. Awaking refreshed, he set to work on the overture, dashing off sheet after sheet with incredible rapidity and dispatching them to the copyists. The opera was to begin at : in the evening, and a few minutes after that hour Mozart was in his place as conductor, baton in hand. while the parts with the ink still wet on some of them were being handed to the orchestra.

NAPOLEON AS A FARMER.
He Fathered Sugar Beet Cultivation
 to Head of a Revolution,


 The method of extracting sugar fiom beets by which more than half the worlds supply of sugar is now produced was the discovery of a German scientist, but the credit for establishing the culture of beets as a world industry belongs to Napo- leon.
 In the course of his great strug- gle with England the emperor of the French issued his famous de- crees forbidding commercial rela- tions- with that country and specifi- cally prohibiting importations from British colonial possessions, from which at that time practically the entire supply of sugar was obtained. Cut off from this supply, the price of sugar in France rose within few years to $l pound and threatened a revolt among his own subjects.
 Napoleon. however, had had emi- nent French scientists studying the sugar beet and experimenting to de- termine its possibilities. As a re- suit of their investigations he was able to meet the difficulty by direct ing that 90.O0O acres of land in va rious parts of the country should be devoted to the culture of sugar beets. At the same time he called attention to the fact, discovered in the experiments conducted by his experts, that "the growing of beet roots improves the soil and that the residue of the fabrication furnishes an excellent food for cattle"
 In such dramatic and arbitrary fashion did the humble beet make its appearance as a factor destined to assume worldwide and mighty commercial importance. To Napo- leon it was only minor incident in his herculean struggle for dominion, but it stands today as the most ben eficial single act of his career, for the demonstration that beet culture improves the soil and increases the yield of other crops used in rotation with this one has revolutionized the agricultural methods of the leading countries of continental Europe, has halted the flood of emigration that formerly poured out of these countries and has solved for long time to come. and perhaps for all time, the threatening problem with which they were confronted of pro- viding a food supply for their peo- ple.-National Magazine.
