There is much difference between landing an

FAVORs SOON FORGOTTEN

Uncle Sam is learning, what many
of his people have had brought home
to them many times, that favors ex-
tended are soon forgotten, and that
promises to repay such aid are sub
ject to liberal discount. 1t must
be apparent that few of the thous-
ands of Americans abroad when the
European war broke out and who
would have been stranded but for
the loans and assistance given them
by the government, are of the pow
erty stricken class who cannot pay.
The folks who tour Europe for pleas
ure are people of means, but for all
that there are several thousand of
them who pay no attention to the
governments please remit" notices
Perhaps some of these people who SO
soon forget benefits received will re-
member Uncle Sam with a rich legacy
in their wills, having then no longer
any use for the money-and perhaps
they will not.

NEW HIGHWAY ESTABLISHED
Connects Audubon and Greenfield via
Adair and VIII be an Import
ant Road

Quite a number of our good roads
boosters went to Adair Saturday to
attend a meeting that had been call
ed for the purpose of establishing
a new road way running north and
south. The road which is known as
1.-THE Big-4 Route" connects Audi
bon and Greenfield through North
Branch, Adair and FontanelIe.
The meeting was well attended,
so many being in attendance thas the
meeting had to be held in one of the
lodge rooms, which was still made
quate to comfortably handle the good
roads boosters. After a thorough
discussion, final action was taken
and the route laid out as originally
planned.
This Big-4 Route will afford a
cross-route from Spirit Lake to
Creston and south, on which travel
ers over the Lincoln Highway, the
River-to-River Road, the Great White
Way, the |. o. A. Short Line and the
Blue Grass Road--all famous trans
Iowa highways-will be able to reach
north or south points easily over this
new road which will probably be
marked with two foot band OF
yellow. painted on every pole with a
good quality of paint and in the CEN
ter of which will be large figure A..
The Audubon contingency entered
into the new organization with a
great deal of enthusiasm and will at
once set about getting the line thru
Audubon county in conformity with
the plans agreed upon at this meet
ing.
Audubon county has agreed to take
care of the Is miles of roadway as
signed to it, and Chas. Ping has al
ready secured the contract for paint
ing the poles. The expense of carry
ing on the organization is met by the
payment of a fee of $1.00 which is
for a permanent membership. The
other incidental expenses will be
paid from fund secured by popular
subscription.
The officers of the new organiza-
ton are C. F. Hurlbert of Fontanelle,
president; Geo. F. Wagner of Adair,
treasurer; and S. c. Kerberg of Aud
ubon, secretary.
