OrnitholOgists have finally awarded

beyond all question that this bird Of

literally twenty weeks out OF the fifty

proximately 40 miles. When it is

COMPLIMENT WITH A HINT.

$50 much has been written and
spoken in criticism of 1owas roads
and most Of it is justly SO. that a word
Of praise now and then comes as a
pleasant surprise. In the record Of
work done by the Lincoln Highway
association for the year ending Sept
/, Iowas share of the movement is
spoken OF as follows. in part:
"The progress made on the Lincoln
Highway in Iowa during the past year
has been exceptional, and has entailetl
the expenditure of a very considerable
sum- The state has highly efficient
we'll organized highway department
and the Lincoln Highway, has been
graded. crowned, drained and dragged
in the best possible manner entirely
across the state. the work Of grading
often necessitating cuts and fills from
fifteen to thirty feet in depth. +.
The thirteen Lincoln Highway coun-
ties of the state have spent $250,0OO
in round figures on the highway in the
past two years, more than half this
sum during 1915"
The progress in bridge building,
which has been the outstanding fea-
turc of the work in the last two years,
is commented upon as follows: Prac-
tically every Lincoln Highway bridge
in Iowa is of permanent reinforced
concrete construction, with a mini
mum width of twenty feet" 81.
Now that the highway is properly
graded and good bridges have been
installed the next logical step is per-
manent surface. What is termed
exceptional progress" in Iowa would
be considered way behind the times"

In our neighboring states. Illinois
has several sections OF its highway
hard surfaced Indiana has sixty.
eight miles or concrete under con.
struction. In Ohio four out of every
five miles on the highway are perina-

After the first joy OF the above COM
pliment has subsidized we blush to
think there isrl,o way in which we can
duplicate the improvements in the
states named even If we so desired.

excellent nucleus I'M the movement be-
fore the next legislature to secure a
law that will give Communities per-
mission to anticipate their road rev.

We do not doubt that when power
has been granted, the people along the

a back seat to Ohio or any other state
in making that highway one OF the
accomplishments Of the age. daily
