the question naturally is, why do we

agriculture little and make our
farms more productive because 1t is
only by means OF this that We can
continue to increase the value of our

vitality necessary that the progress

Random Sketches
A Striking incident.

The Tri-state Old Settlers assoc1a-
ton Of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa was
held in Keokuk in October. 1856.
A striking incident of that re
union will be wildly remembered by
those present at this notable event.
Judge George G. Wright was one OF
the speakers on this old settlers &C.
casion and of course 1t developed upon
Mayor Adams. of Burlington, as pre-
siding officer. to introduce Judge
Wright to the audience. In this In
PRODUCTION Mayor Adams said:
Ladies and gentlemen: 1t AFFORDS
me great pleasure to have this OPP
portunity of introducing to you
gentleman whose name Is as well
known as any other in the state OF
Iowa, IL not better. A man who has
served the people in number OF the
highest and most elevated positions
in the land, and man who has dis
charged the trusts that he has carried
out faithfully to the state and in
manner creditable and honorable TO
himself. Gentlemen, / have the honor
OF introducing to you Judge Wright
who will respond to the words OF well
come for the state OF Iowa. Judge
wright. ladies and gentlemen.
With a twinkle Of the eye and
smile upon his face, Judge
wright said: ''If it was not an
old story would tell It," A voice
called out, go on" and Judge Wright
continued: while our most excellent
president was talking just now, re-
membered the story of how that once
upon a time the celebrated Ben Hard
in OF Kentucky, was candidate for
congress. Ben was unlike most every
body else, he was accustomed to
nraise all the babies wherever he went.
One day he stopped where there was
a baby remarkable all over that part
Of the country for its LONELINESS. He
called to the boy and said, come
here, my boy. You are smart boy, u
fine looking boy and the boy went
to his father and whispered in his ear
and Hardin asked, What does the boy
saw, and the father answered, He
SAYS, ask the man to say that again 7"
The large audience of old settlers
and their friends from the three states
saw the point at once and loud ap-
planse and laughter was the result
4 Judge Wright proceeded with his regu-
liar remarks, having at once won in
tterested attention by his apt story.

CHANGES SUGGESTED
Townships May Be Given Power 20
Contract for Work With Coun-
ty on Township
Highways.

The report OF the state highway
commission for the year and nine
months in which the new road law
has been in operation was made to
Governor Clarke The document is a
yoluminous and comprehensive affair
which shows in detail the amount of
work accomplished and incorporates
the recommendations of the COM
mission for legislation by the thirty
sixth assembly.
The complete organization OF the
county road system. which was one
of the chief features OF the law
passed two years ago, Is reported
with 1857 miles designated and laid
sout. A tremendous advance in per-
the figures which show total OF 81

approved from April 1. 1913 to Deem
her 1. 1914 The contracts approved
during the same period show total
of s1,0T5,36TS2.
In commentinG on the establish
ment Of the road system the commits
sion says in the report: Iowa is the
first state in the middle west to es-
tablish a statewide system of main
roads The commission believes that
an adherence to this system for a
period of FIVE years will give the
state a network OF highways, reach
ing every market point. that will be
unsurpassed in utility to the public"
Changes Suggested.
The following changes in the pres
emit law are recommended:
That the minimum be changed
from $500 to $1,000 on bridges and
culrerts on which resolutions Of
necessity are required.
That the commission be given the
POKER to condemn land to widen and
strafghten or relocate roads.
That drainage districts be lid out
when necessary for the county road
system.
That the present poll tax law eth
er be repealed or requirement made
for payment in cash.
That township road fund unusue..
By October Is be turned over to the

That a two mill road building tax
be levied for the extension Of the

is OF interest to note that in Johnson

Hamilton received less than half the
plurality Mr.. Dunn received two years
ago. The plurality against Clarke in
1912 was 1927 this year. but SAT.
In Boone county where Senator
Doran had spent all summer organic
ing farmers taxpaying clubs to OPP
pose the governor the Clarke plurality
was T64. and in Greene county where
Captain Head was expected to swing
things, the Clarke plurality was 639.
All of which goes to show that the
