THE WIDTH OF ROADS.

tPrent Ransom in the Roadmaker.]
Sixty-six feet is none too wide for
road. Twenty six feet is impossible.
As for the bitches there should be but
few II any. For that part of the road
returned to the adjacent land owners,
figured as whole sounds big. but
bringing Il down to the individual with
Eighty acres or a quarter section the
benefit to each would be a mere trifie.
Our forefathers conceded that sixty
six feet was about the proper road for
convenience and pleasure and they
were wise.
II have visited good roads meetings
in several counties over Iowa in the
last few years and In every locality the
consensus of opinion was decidedly
against the narrowing Of Iowa roads.
When we take N consideration the
enormous travel over some or our
county roads, and the cross-state roads
like the Lincoln Highway. the present
width roads is more necessary than
ever before But Schmedika says
now that travel is getting more con-
gested. narrow up the roads.
Does Mr.. Schmedika propose to try
to enact laws that will add few acres
OF road adjacent 10 his thousand acres
of Iowa land, or will he try to enact
laws the people want? VIII he use his
influence to enact laws not knowing
whether a dozen people in Hardin
county are in favor of such laws? He
seems TO get no further with his mar
row idea than the narrow road But
that isn't all.

One of the most nonsensical things
brought up in the present legislature
is the move to repeal law, which
was founded upon real effort to i'm

been tried out. We refer to the MIL

placing the selection Of county SUI

The Freeman Tribune has for TWEEN
ty years been an advocate OF the mulct
1t believes that law has accomplished
much in the line OF real temperance
and that is served a good purpose in
communities where public sentiment
failed to respond to the prohibition law
enforcement. II the state is now ready
for absolute prohibition the repeal OF
the mulct will be agreeable. but II we
drop back into the conditions Of twenty
years ago temperance people generally
will regret the overthrow Of the mulct
and will demand its return. In the
meantime it is well enough to give
statewide prohibition a chance, in def
erence to public opinion. For this rea-
son the Freeman Tribune is pleased at
the action OF the legislature in repeal
ing the mulct to take effect on Jan. l.
1915.

The repeal Of the mulct law is not
a temperance act, as it removes
weapon that insured prohibition. With
the mulct law no longer in force it
will be UNNECESSARILY more difficult
to enforce the prohibitory law. The
authorities can no longer proceed
against owners OF buildings, provis-
ion Of the mulct law that greatly aided
in the enforcement of the law against
the Illegal sale OF liquor. Had the legis-
lature been content to bring about
prohibition thru the medium OF con-
stitutional amendment, prohibition
would have been assured not later than
1918. and in the meantime there would
be strict observance OF the law, but
with the restraining mulct law off the
statute books after Jan. 1, 1916, diff
Guilty may be expected in seeking tho
enforcement Of the prohibitory law.

Some Estimates Of the M,s1ct Ll,O

closed conditions In advance OF . vote
on the prohibitory amendment.
The liquor issue as regular cam
paign feature will not be a novelty in
Iowa. 1t held the boards for several
years, finally giving way to the Cum
Minis" issue. The campaign of last fall
was one of the first conducted on gem
eral state issues for many years past.
tDecorah Republican,
The repeal of the Iowa mulct law
may well be viewed with grave con.
Germ by true friends Of temperance,
Those who remember the days when
the prohibitory law was the only
statute designed to exercise any con-
troll of the liquor traffic in Iowa have
not forgotten the ruthless violation of
law and decency that existed. Nor
have they forgotten that in colnmuni-
ties where the sentiment was strong
ly antagonistic to the saloon men were
elected to administer the laws whose
well known favoritism for the open
saloon made sure that prosecution for
violation would be unavailing. In
Winneshiek county mulct petition
will never again receive sufficient sig
natures to permit saloons to run but
that is not saying the open sale of
liquor can be stopped under a pro-
hibitory law. The republican believes
step backward has been taken in
temperance as we'll as liquor control in
Iowa. The nulct law has steadily and
surely driven the saloon out of the
state but the public review of the
mulct petition has been the means to
this end. Why turn down q sure
remedy to take up one that has already
proven q failure?

In keeping with the Christmas
spirit of good cheer was the social
meeting of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy at the home of the presi-
dent, Mrs. 3. NJ. Davidson, Friday af-
ternoon. Decorations suggestive of
the. season made veritable bowers of
the rooms in which the guests were
received. Southern smilax in grace
full festoons hung over mantels and
doorways and formed frieze
throughout the apartments. Christ
mas bells and wreaths of holly in
pleasing effect carried out the color
scheme of red and green, while crys-
tai vases holding bright red carna-
lions gave additional color. The us
ual devotional exercises and few
business matters briefly considered
opened the way to the delightful pro-
gram prepared for the occasion. Mrs.
G. W. bozier; idirectress of the Chill
drenljof the Confederacy, gave an en-
couraging report of the activities Of
the chapter and the growing interest
of these young people in patriotic and
historical research calculated to slim
ulate high endeavor. The Daughters
heard with pleasure that the Christ
mas tree, planned for the children
was a great success, inasmuch as
each little guest was made happy
by the thoughtfulness, and vote of
thanks was given Mrs. Dozier for
her efforts. Roll call showed large
number present Early Legends Of
the South was the response. OF
special interest was the paper pre-
pared by Mrs w H. Gardner, Jr.,
on Folklore of the South" The old
but ever popular song, My Old Ken
lucky Home" was sung by the entire
chapter the fine old melody fitting
in well with the other numbers.

charmingly rendered by Mrs. J. D.

the dignity and ease of a grown-up
favored the company with a piano
solo bright and catchy, and Mildred

TWENTY-FIVE Acres Left in Field to
Fatten 100 Hogs. The Folly of
All Cotton Is Demonstrated.

All Cotton Is Demonstrated.
DR.. w. r. Terry, of Shellman, one
of the largest and most prosperous
farmers of this section, some years
ago abandoned the all-cotton policy
and his success in growing grain
and other products and raising hogs
has demonstrated the folly of stalk
ing everything on one crop.
While in Dawson a few days age
DIR. Terry told of a great crop OF
groundpeas grown by him this year
on rs acres of land. From SO acres
Of the groundpeas he gathered $500
bushels, for which he will find ready
market at $125 and realize $4,000.
He had already sUld a carload OF
1900 bushels at that price to be
shipped to Florida. The remaining
% acres of the groundpeas were left
for 100 head of hogs that DR.. Terry
had on his farm for meat.
The yield per acre of the ground
meas was more than 800 bushels, and
they were grown with comparatively
little expense for fertilizer, labor and
harvesting.
This is only another example or
what can be done besides grow cot
ton. Using the pinder picker there
can be saved from the vines of the
groundpeas about three tons Of hay
per acre, which when properly baled
will sell at SIS to $40 per ton and
net a profit in hay on each acre of
S12 to SIS. Dr.. Terry planted the
large red Spanish peanuts.
