bet little anyway. But in small burgs

The county road tax in Iowa ex-
Guiding bridge taxes and auto licenses
amounts to less than two days labor
with man and team in a year for each
quarter section of land. How many
DAYS labor for man and team could
be saved in a year with a paved road
to town? The county road tax, along
With the bridge tax and the auto tax
will pave the county roads when
bonded for thirty years.
Reductions in the cost of auto tires
within the past two years are now
saving 20 the auto owners ct this state
each year an amount equal to the en-
tire county road tax.

Of Austria Hungary. that President
Wilson's note to Germany after the
Lusitania disaster, was not to be taken
seriously were denied by William Jen-

before leaving Washington for San

closed authorltatively thru Mr.. Bry-

depreciation OF this document was
made the subject OF official exchanges
between Washington, Berlin and
Vienna While Mr. Bryan says that his
conversation was misrepresented In
Berlin, he fails to tell exactly what he
did say to the Austrian HUNGARIAN am
bassador. His denial is in general
terms. It has been the understanding
here that Ambassador Dumba got the
impression from Mr.. Bryan that Presi-
dent Wilson'S note informing the Ger
man government that it would be held
to a strict accountability" was in
tended for home consumption In the
United States and for that reason wae
not to be taken seriously by Germany.
That the German government was i'm

Partner. With Nature.

On mornings such as summer now
bestows upon US. few are the city lots
without their enchanted overseer
There are people who deliberately COW
er their ground with buildings in order
to escape the call Of the lawn mower
and weed patch. These are among the
unfortunate of the earth. The greater
number know and seek the satisfaction
Of associaung with growing things and
of adding their skill to the growing.
Why is it that prosaic man or woman
stands in the morning dew uncon-
sciously spellbound and enraptured in
the presence Of an adolescent tomato
vine or budding morning glory? You
know the fact. You have probably
made the round of your little garden
at least four times in the last twenty
four hours, pulling a weed here and
there and making estimates of the
progress of each vegetable child OF
your spade and hoe. You may not care
for peas Petunia blossoms may not
be glory to your soul. Pretty much
aside from sense Of the practical and
the esthetic your delight in making
things grow remains.
That must be why all normal people
yearn at some time or other to be
farmers. The isolation. the hard work,
the limited returns from farming may
drive you back to town, overpowering
the lure OF growing things. But In
town you still try to satisfy the great
desire. You take homeopathic doses OF
gardening and lawn adornment. The
Joy the true farmer gets from growing
fiocks and herds you see in pet
canary and cat. For his field of
wheat you substitute your row OF
beans In place of his acre Of clover
blossoms you have your bed of mari
Colds.
Thus does the normal human being
crave the greatest opportunity open to
physical mantle chance to be part
ner with nature. The engulfing salts
faction which overcomes the viewer OF
a triumphant cucumber vine OF his own
planting and culture has deep mean
ing. It il natures sign to man that he
has struck his gait. He has stumbled
upon the rule OF the game of living on
the earth-the rule Of conforming to
nature and making himself cocreator
with nature Of the good growths of the
earth. We have climb into the boat
with mother earth. The resulting de-
lfght Is the delight of the boatman
who finds that he has only to steer
with the current to reach his laborious-
" sought destination. We are re-
sponsible partner In the great prosper

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In the democratic party there seem
to be loud calls for w. W. Marsh. who
is a sort of miniature Henry Ford.
The democrats, who are afraid, are
thinking of his money bags as well as
OF his brain powers" says the Cedar
Rapids Republican.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says
"Cosson not only does things himself
but he has a happy faculty Of getting
others TO do worth while things Also.
The primary law is fine thing for
the fellow who has no chance to be
nominated, but is willing to pay for
little advertising" remarks the Wa
terloo Times-Tribune.
The home folks at Lincoln were
glad to see Mr.. Bryan again., re-
marks the Mason City Globe-Gazette,
and what does one care what the
rest of the world says ifthe home folks
are glad 10 see him.
With 10000 autos in Iowa any man
who believes good roads can be STAYED

"Neighbor Ben Salinger is harborins

SOME ROAD WORK SUGGESTION.
mason City Globe-Gaxette.]
The worst roads and the best roads
In the county are in Mason City. The
reason the city has tho worst is be-
cause the roads are not dragged, on the
main arteries just OF the paved streets
and leading to the main highways into
the city. Other roads outside OF the
city have been allowed to deteriorate
also by the same lack OF attention.
The great trouble has been to get some
one to drag the road at the proper
time. to get on the roads before the
ambitious automobiles cover 1t with
ruts and finally with mud-holes in
which turks danger, loss and tndul-
gence in profanity. With the Rock
well road and the road north, and the
Clear Lake roads a constant thorough
fare for the overland traffic 1t Is neces-
sary for quick action after every rain
to keep them in good condition. Why
would 1t not be wise ana economical
investment for the county to own
light auto truck, a harrow ana drag
and when long stretch OF road like
the north and south or east and west
road needs quick attention, send y
over these roads, with an extra man Il
needed. The whole work would be &C
compiished IN fraction of the time
and 1t would be done quickly ana q
the physical as well as the psychoiogi-
cal moment The extra man with 9
shovel could also MI In the ruts and
hollows at the bridges and crossines

conditions worse. and. in some in

bridge approaches would be In as good

enable the city to drag every road

PRESERVE THE PATRIOTS NAME.
mason City Times.l
In the naming of streets Of Mason
City members of the Grand Army of
the Republic should be consulted before
the name Of single street that Is
sacred in the archives of the local vet
erars' association is abolished. There
are streets in Mason City named for
soldiers who perfshed on southern
battlefields and their names may be
found on the monument erected in the
city park Early city officers provided
what they thought would be permanent
memorials to them by naming streets
in their honor. These should not be
effaced. If in the establishment of q
50 that Mason City may be up to date
and that strongers may find location
Of street numbers by the best methods
inaugurated by recognized municipal
experts, it becomes necessary to reaar-
range the names OF streets. the names
that are sacred to the grand army
should be transferred to other streets.
Some such plan might not be objec-
tionable to the veterans. The Times
makes the suggestion that before the
matter is finally disposed Of grand
army representatives should be con-
suited.
HOW THE WOMEN HELPED.
burlington Gazette.
The women of Burlington proved
themselves to be the right kind of
boosters. More women voted for
the bridge tax and fewer against
II than men. The organization Of
workers was perfect. 1t was not fad
with them. They grasped the full i'm
port OF the movement to obtain for this
city the bridge and there simply was
no way to head them of. From the
time the o'clock whistles sounded in
the morning until the polls closed, !
twelve hours later. the members Of the
WomenS committees camped on the
trail of the voter. They overlooked
no chance to register a vote for the
bridge. They communicated their en-
thusiasm to other women who had not
given the bridge proposition much at
tention. They spurred the men work
ers to greater efforts, and something
akin to rivalry was stirred. The
women were not discouraged by re-
bluffs, but hustled for the votes and got
them. What the women accomplished
in the election yesterday stands out as
valuable lesson to the male citizens
They exhibited a brand Of civic pride
that the men will do well to emulate.
They displayed initiative and persist
ency and their activity is valuable
revelation to the town. We know to
whom we can go for real help when
the town needs some real friends.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW
Ginning Report Likely to be Factor
 This Week.

New Orleans, Nov. 14.-The net change for the week in the cotton mar ket was not important, amounting to net gain of 23 to 2S points on the most active months. Prices ranged over about a half cent a pound, the market being depressed about dol lar bale early in the week by large crop estimates, and recovering later on threatened unfavorable weather over the belt.
 During the greater part of the week the trade was occupied in trying to dis count weather conditions. A wet freeze was continually expected and at one time it was expected that a large part of the belt would be visited by killing frosts, but the cold weather did not strike far enough south and the close of the week it looked as if dam age through low temperatures had been confined chiefly to Oklahoma.
 The crop estimates of the week ranged from a little under l2,OU0,OOO bales including linters, to nearly l3,- 100000.
 The coming week the trade will do much speculation over ginning returns and it will not be surprising if private forecasts of the output of the gins over shadow all other features in impor- tance The report on ginning will be issued by the Census Bureau on Nov ember 9.

REJECTED ON ACCOUNT OF TOES

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 15.-Because a thin membrane filament connecting his toes made him web-footed. Frank Leque, louisville, L. l., thought he would make a splendid recruit for that semi-aquatic organization, the United States Marine Corps, and was keenly disappointed when Sergeant George 5. McGee, in charge of the local re- cruiting station, rejected him for that very reason. Now Leque believes that if Uncle Sam can't use a man-duck, he still has mission in life. and is contemplating applying for a position as traffic ''cop" in the city of unfxed leaks-Venice.
 Sergeant McGee of the Marines was loath to reject Leque for what he was pleased to term "duckitis', and he had momentary visions of the Long Island recruit being trained actually to walk on the water and so, in time, to hurdle hot-foot over hissing comb CTS from onev essel to another to de- liver his Don't give up the ship, boys" messages from the admiral.
 But perfect feet are absolutely es- sential to Marines, and since the corps is usually filled up to maximum strength with exceptionally well-de- veloped men, the web-footed one was told that he wouldn't do. Now noth- ing remains for him to do except to join the Venetian traffic squad, or, as another rejected applicant told him, acquire water on the knee and float ing kidney with your other accomplish ment and you could enter the Pata- gonian Navy"

SERVIANS FALLING
 BACK IN MOUNTAINS
Central Powers Have Again Pro- tested Against Landing at SalOniki-VOn Hindenburg is Definitely Held.

London, Nov. 1.-The Servians are falling back from mountain range to mountain range before the Austro- Germans, whose official reports emu merate the capture of a thousand or more prisoners daily, a few guns and quantities of stores. The Servians, however, are inficting considerable loss on their pursuers
 Along the eastern front the Servians appear to be holding their own against the Bulgarians and are making a stand on the western bank of the Morava River Their resistence has been so stubborn the Bulgarians have had to call for assistance from the Austro- German artillery in their effort to drive the defenders out of Katchanik Pass. Thus far they have been un- successful.
 The British and French troops which are receiving re-enforcements, are meeting with some success, and be- sides repulsing Bulgarian attacks have undertaken small offenses with good results. The Austro- Germans and Bulgarians, however, made such pro- gress from the beginning of the cam paign that it will take serious work now to check them.
 For the moment the political situa- tion is graver than the military. The at,.o1 to Greece against the landing of allied troops at Salonih. King Constantine is reported to have replied that as Saloniki is an open port there has been no Infringement of Greek rights in the landing and that Greece will remain neutral until one of the belligerents has transgressed against those rights. France and Italy, who has joined her allies by sending a warship to Salon iki, are particularly anxious as to the attitude of Greece.
 The Russians have repelled definite ly Won Hindenburg's drive toward Riga and Dvinsk and along the Dvina River and have taken the offensive, but apparently, owing to the state of ground have made only slow progress in the marsh region west of Riga.
 Along the Styr River in the South, the Austro-Germans, by a counter stroke, have pierced the Russian lines and captured 1,500 prisoners, accord ing to Berlin. These strokes are about all that can be expected on the eastern front while the soft weather continues.
 On the western front there have been no events of importance.

FLOW THE GARDEN

Now is the time to do the first work for a fine garden. Give it a good covering of half rotten stable manure and blow it eight or ten inches deep at once, before the rains come Do not harrow but do a decent job of blowing. Then next February it can be narrowed and the first planting can be done. But blow the garden NOW and blow it DEEP and blow under MANURE. Every village and town and city garden should be plowed in November.
