ANOTHER ROAD WANTED.

Editor Enterprise:
q It is source Of satisfaction, to
any one interested, to see the Won
derful results Of intelligent en-
deavor and applied science IN the
art of road construction, if the
party will investigate the work
now being done between town and
the Island. This road will not
only afford an opportunity to the
people who depend on it to come
to town. but will be a model
driveway, and surely source OF
pleasure to anyone who would
care to take advantage OF it.
We all know the necessity OF
good roads; no one realizes it bet
ter than the farmer who wants to
come to town but cannot The
merchant. too, probably can testi-
fv to the ACCESSIBILITY Of the right
kind Of highways when he finds
that the farmer cannot get in. Too
much cannot be done along this
line, and the money spent in this
work is not lost. It is oe of the
5"st ways to spend the Parish s
revenue.
This road to the Island will soon
be completed-there are but about
two miles now to fnish-and when
finished, the road machine prob
ably will be available for other
work. With this in view, |, as
one very much interested. would
like to suggest to the members
of the Police Jury that the ma
chine be put to digging ditch
from point near L. L. Minvielle's
store south. This road, though
a public road. is impossible most
of the time. and in consequence,
it is a hardship on the farmers
along the route. The distance is
about two and half miles, and
the good accomplished by such a
ditch would be of as much conse-
qpence as any road improvement
in the Parish.
l can promise the members of
the Police Jury that should they
see fit to let the machine be used
for the purpose mentioned. the
farmers along the route will at
tend to the grading Of the earth,
and i'll help to give the Parish
another good road. More land Oh
either side is needed to accomp-
lish the desired results. as the
road now is rather narrow, but
this is promised too.
The Parish teams and the grad
ing machine could be used to do
the grading along the CONNER
'ial Canal (the Canal road is an
absolute necessity, and the road.
machine could be put to work on
his road. the road south from
Minvielle's store. As the grad
ng of the road will be done by
he farmers. the cost of making it
will necessarily be reduced.
A petition will soon be present
ID to the members of the Police
Jury by parties interested and
Who live along the route. with a
equest that favorable action be
AIKEN in the matter. and its to be-
loped that the body will see their,
Tay clear to grant same.
Very truly yours.
GOOD ROADS.

GERMANY'S NOTE NOT SAT
ISFACTORY.

" aShlngtOn, july o.-UerllldH.
has submitted to the United
States through Ambassador &c
rard in Berlin, tentative draft o.
it's reply to the note Of June 9
which asked for assurances thai
American rights On the high seas
would not be further violated by
German submarine commanders
After careful. examination of the
contents Of the proposed note as
outlined by Ambassador Gerard
which comedies with Berlin press
dispatchers Of the last few days
high officials are practically
agreed that the United States can
not without sacrificing important
neutral rights express it's approx
al of the German proposals in
their present form. :.
Asked Gerard to Pass on Reply.
The draft was shown to Am
bassador Gerard with the idea of
eliciting from him an expression
OF opinion and he promptly asked
for instructions from Washington
as to whether the United States
would make concessions. Presi-
dent Wilson has been advised of
the situation and the impression
obtained tonight was that the
American government probably
would instruct it's ambassador to
decline to express any views I'M
til after the formal reply is de-
livered to him.
just what Germany proposed
has not been officially divulged.
From Berlin dispatches and au-
thorltative sources here it is
learned that the note as drafted
by the German foreign office with
Emperor Williams subsequent
approval would give assurance s
that Americans might travel with
safety ON the high seas on certain
conditions imposed by Germany.
such as the marking of belligerent
vessels carrying Americans, Motif
cation by the United States to
Germany OF the date of departure
and character Of such vessels and
an inspection insuring their non
carriage of munitions of war.
Must be More Concessions.
Whether the president does or
does not finally decide to have
Ambassador Gerard tell the Ger
man government informally the
views of the United States on the
rough draft submitted, it was
clearly apparent today that i'm
oortant changes would be neces-
'arv in Germany's attitude before
t could be reasonably hoped that
ne formal reply would remove
rom the negotiations the critical
aspect they have assumed. I
One of the messages from Am.
'assador Gerard was somewhat
'arbled in transmission and it's
neanlng was not clear. At first
arly IN the day it was believed
" some officials that the sugees.
ions made might offer a basis for
legotiations.
The suggestion was not regard.
d by any means as hopeless be-
arse it was believed in we'll in
ormed quarters that the mere
act OF submitting to Ambassador
ierard a tentative draft of the
ierman reply could be construed
S meaning that Germany might .
lake further changes if the posi-
ION OF the United States was
ound to be unalterable.

Now a TwO-Legged Colt.

Shenandoah, Ia, June 21.-As a
producer of freaks this vicinity has
made noteworthy showing this
season. In addition to the two-head-
ed calf at the farm of Tom Van
Swearingen, which is now two weeks
old, there is two-legged colt on the
farm of Henry Wehrkamp north of
Clarinda. 1t was born three weeks
ago and seems to be perfect in every
way, except it lacks the two front
legs, one being entirely missing with
merely swirl of hair to mark the
place where the leg should be, and
the other leg quite short and small,
being doubled back like wing. A
circus has already offered $500 for
the colt when it is six months old, if
it still lives.

The Year Without a Summer.

1t is SO years ago since the time
which was known as the year with
out summer" according to the
American Magazine of History. That
was in 1916, when the frost did not
leave the ground till late in May.
Even during June young birds were
frozen to death in their nests. Spring
brought little indication of seed time,
and of the crops that did come up,
those requiring warmth, like corn,
failed to mature Frosts prevailed al
most daily every month of the year
The corn that ripened in the few well
protected places was the only sup
ply of seed for the next year. and
was held at very high price. Large
spots appeared upon the face of the
sun, and were distinctly visible with
the naked eye, and the people after
hoping for change of weather were
almost in despair.

Romans Buy Fine Cattle.

Most of us think we have to pay
fierce price for a choice bit of
steak over the block nowadays, but
when we were told about 2S steers
that brought in the neighborhood of
$4,000 in DEBORAH Friday it made
us sit up and take notice. Charley
Daniels, of Centennial delivered the
2S head to Roman Bros, who have
put the cattle on feed at their farm,
and will hold them until September.
The animals averaged about 400
pounds apiece. The price paid GER
tainly speaks we'll for Mr.. Daniels
as fat cattle producer, and also for
Roman Bros. in paying the price.
The gentlemen shipped three car
loads of fat cattle to market last
Sunday and three a week ago Sun
day. There were over hundred
head in the shipment and while we
didn't learn the price received, the
figures must have been high, accord
ing to the twenty-eight head at 49,
600. We understand that two loads
Iof yearlings, which were fed,
brought right close to $105 head.

Bold. Bum Burglars at POstville.

A very bum burglar entered three
Postville business places Monday
night and got nothing for his pains
at either place, even losing his repu-
tation as a burglar. He crawled
through a window in the Spaugy
butcher shop after removing screen
and so far as has been discovered the
only damage done was the breaking
of small piece of glass over the
credit slips on the cash register. The
fellow even forgot loaf of bread he
bad with him and which contained
three chunks of sausage.
The night blooming serious also
visited the office of Hall Roberts at
the elevator, where after removing
the knobs that adorn the hinge tops
on the safe, he attempted to twist
the combination off with a pipe
wrench, but only succeeded in dam
aging it so that it could not be open
ed without the assistance of an ex-
pert performer.
Entrance was also gained to the
office of the Consumers Independent
Lumber Co. and nothing secured

THE JUNE WEDDINGS.
This Month is TraditiOnalIy Popular
Month for Weddings.

June is additionally the most
popular month for weddings. This
is no doubt due to the abundance in
most localities of flower and foliage
decorations. With the exception of
some favored sections these may be
scarce or costly for most of the year
The decoration of a church or
home is a serious matter, with ella
borate color schemes, harmonies, and
contrasts not fully apparent to the
masculine mind. For people of
wealth and people living in urban
surroundings, a tasteful decoration
is apt to mean heavy expenditure to
some professional florist.
To the bridegroom and the brides
father, the machinery of an elaborate
wedding is burdensome. If the
thing could be done without head
lines in the newspapers and without
stirring the gossips, a general habit
of elopement would be popular among
fathers. Indeed they often intimate
as much to their prospective sons-in-
law. Tempting inducements are held
out in the shape of gifts of furniture,
pianos, or fat checks, as a substitute
for the gorgeousness of large we'd
ding. But the bride has definite con-
yictions in this matter, and does not
readily abandon them.
To all who enjoy a real dress par
ade, an elaborate wedding is worth
every cent it costs. The feeling of
romance and sentiment is in the air,
and incites the feminine world to its
most fascinating adornments.
In the great majority of house
holds, the June wedding is a simple
enough function. Having sent for
aging party into the fields for flowers
and foliage, the brides friends trim
the home or the church, and some
intuitive eye for beauty in woman's
nature almost always makes the
setting pleasing one. The formali-
ties end when the minister has done
with his fateful words, from which
the spirit of revelry is a natural re-
action.

Customers Come Long Distances

Last week we happened in to the
Ben Bear clothing store, and bust
ness was humming. 1t was pleasing
ito note the fact that customers
were there from as far away as West
Union, Lawler, Spring Grove, Cler-
mont and Mabel They were not
simply shopping, but were buying,
taking advantage of the big, inn
mense stock in all lines which Mr.
Bear carries, and at prices which
were simply impossible to duplicate.
1t certainly speaks well for DEBORAH
and the Ben Bear clothing store.
One item of wearing apparel, slip
on raincoats, of excellent quality
were selling at $500. The price
seemed dumfounding, as the goods
alone in the coat was worth much
more than that, to say nothing of
the making up. The firm buys right
and for spot cash and consequently
give their customers the benefit. An
immense shipment of Spalding
sweaters were received Friday for
next winters sales.
