when taken in ratio to the population
of Ashland We can confidently chal-

not possibly be more effective or

the many projects of the Ashland

acquainted with the immense amount
OF work done and the wonderful re-
suits accomplished.
There are now enrolled in the club

Is real booster. When the men of
ashland look upon the work which
these ladies have fostered they look
upon results. and results which count. |
Perfect cooperation and united ef-
fort have been the dominating fea-
lures Of the clubs activities. The men
of the city may well take lessons from
the spirit OF the Ashland women. 1t
is the spirit that builds cities.
with all that has been done the
ladies proclaim themselves To be at

rated campaign for 500 members.

covers the entire coming year. =

ROAD COMMENT.

Editor Times Republican: have
been interested in your articles on good
road lately.
Here in Lincoln township we have
several miles of road built by Joe
Kuehn. Of Dows. Iowa. where the right
of-way is Of proper width. The road
grade is thirty eight feet WIDE leaving
ten to twelve feet Of sod along the
fence on each side. When the grade is
wet, teams travel on the sod. These
sides are left in such shape that a
mower can be run over them, thus
leaving the road very neat in appear
ance. And few hours of sun puts
them in fine shape for an auto. When
you consider the grading of these roads
cost about sS5 per mile, why talk gray-
elled roads with no gravel in sight :?
The main point is to make these roads
in dry weather keep them dragged, and
the harder the rain the harder the road.
Respectfully. W. T. Richards, Clarion,
Iowa.

Prosperity is coming but at present
is purely psychological. according to
the weekly reviews of trade by Dun's
and by Bradstreet's.
Dun's Review says:
Constructive factors accumulate and
the international uncertainties, while
making for caution, fail TO check the
growth Of confidence in the future.
With the basic influences still gaining
in strength, the outlook steadily be-
comes brighter, altho, apart from in
dustrial lines, progress is not rapid in
any direction. 1t is mainly in senti-
ment that the general situation con-
tinues to reflect uniform and substan-
tial betterment, but in actual CONNER
cial transactions there is also concrete
evidence Of Improvement. One in
stance Ct this is found in the record of
bank c!earings, which more frequent
ly show increases in comparison with
earlier periods and for the current
week are 5,4 per cent larger than In
1914. To some extent this is due to
the expansion in speculative operations
at New York. yet the gains in the to-
tails az outside cities indicate broad
ening volume Of business in legitimate
trade channels. Other statistics are
likewise more favora BILE and the con-
siderable reduction in the number OF
idle cars last month testifes to more
active movements Of freight. Returns
of railroad earnings are now less dis
appointing than in the past and ex-
pectations of further improvement in
this respect are encouraged by the Of
fetal promise Of big yields OF grain.
Very much the same kind Of an an
alysis of trade conditions. including
reference to uncertain weather, is re-
ported in Bradstreet's as follows:
Factors making for expansion null
tiply. Evidence is provided by such
facts as considerable improvement in
Industrial matters, virtually full move
c.ents in finished steel. overtime work
in numerous war order lines, smart
activity at shipyards, freer distribution
Of seasonable goods. somewhat fairer
skies aiding crops, bounteous yields o.
foodstuffs, better collections, growing
scarcity Of labor, slightly larger sales
of steam coal, absence Of strain in
money matters at the crop-moving
season, increased construction Of
plants to take care of war orders, and
some western agricultural implement
makers resuming operations, whereas
while ago it seemed as tho work
would not be started before Septem-
Der. There is a notable absence Of
talk OF shutdowns due to necessity for
repairs or for vacation purposes. STILL
while distribution by retail dealers has
expanded. partly because of clearance
sales, the movement would DE larger
were it not for rainy weather over
wide area, and at the same time job
bers experience midsummer quiet. In
some sections forward buying is noted,
but in general the disposition is to
mark time in this respect until PROS
poets ~ to uamatured crops become
more settled, and * these sections
where yields are quite well known in

KEEPING THE FOURTH.

She sent word to the editor: She is
cent but she was much exercised by
born Americans last Fourth. She had
taken pains to get everything out OF
the way so that she could keep the
national holiday properly as she saw
it. For she is real American de-
spite the accident of birth and the
nations natal day means much to her.
What was her establishment and dis
gust when the neighbors on Monday
went about their washing and hung out
lines full of clothes as usual on Mon
days in entire neglect and forgetfulness
of the fateful day when John Han
cock wrote his name in big script, when
Carroll of Carroliton specified his resi-
dence lest mistake occur and when
Franklin suggested that they must all
hang separately or together. Those
thrifty neighbors simply hung out the
wash as though Valley Forge and
Monmouth and the Continental con-
gress and Jeffersons immortal declara-
ton had never been. And so the for
eign born wotnau whose children have
taken place among the best of the
democracy born that day in Phila-
delphia sat and wondered how Ameri
cans could forget or neglect the day
when the theory that all men are
created equal and endowed with GER
tain inalienab!e rights was made the
practical principle of a government of
the people and by the people.
They had not forgotten. They knew.
Liberty and opportunity have long ago
become commonplace to the American.
The later generation was born in peace
and has lived beyond the memory of
oppression. To them the Fourth of
July fails to make the appeal that it
does to the woman who has seen the
difference between free country with
out arbitrary castles and one where no
political barrier rises between the
humblest born and the highest anbi-
ton. They are like children born to
affluence to whom poverty is abstract
but who were their livelihood assailed
would remember and fight for 1t bold.
ly and as desperately as it was gained
fer them.
But the born American is shamed
ty the high appreciation of the foreign
horn woman who kept the holiday
as holy day Of freedom and liberty
and opportunity under the law. Their
carelessness is the less understandable
to her because the flag which marks the
day has seen a million Americans die
gladly around it to maintain and carry
on the principle enunciated that dag
in the old s.atehouse Of Pennsylvania
when the declaration was pass ed and
signed undar the shadow of desper-
ate issue by brave men who put their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor on the die they cast.

PAVE The LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

The way to pave the Lincoln High
way is to pave it. That is what Coun-
Gil Bluffs has done. Marshalltown is
getting ready to do it and Ames is
talking abobut doing it. There are
twenty eight good towns on the Lin
coin Highway in Iowa which should
do the same thing; pave from the city
limits on the east thru town to the
city limits on the west. new law
enacted last winter makes it easy by
assessing the cost beyond the abutting
property or paying part of it out Of a
general tax.
If every town on the Lincoln High
way would extend its paving out to
the city limits on the route the total
would amount to fifty miles or nearly
10 per cent of the distance across the
state. The cost would be so small that
none would oppose the project when
started.
sixteen-foot concrete pavement
without curbs on the seven-year as
sessment plan will cost $40 per annum
for each so feet Of frontage. The new
law authorizes city councils to take
into an Improvement district for paw
ing main roads leading into the city
all property which is benefited and
the benefits are then to be assessed
sibility to the pavement. The coun-
Gil can also levy one mill and bond it
for ten years with which to pay not
to exceed one-half the cost wherever
the whole cost exceeds the actual bene
fit to property.
Under these provisions a pavement
sixteen feet wide can be laid to the
city limits of any town, city or village,
and If agricultural land Adults which
cannot be assessed for the full cost. it
can be assessed up to the benefit it
receives and the rena inder can either
be assessed TO other property short
distance back from the road or it can
be paid out of a special tax on all the
property in the town.
1t is easy and simple an;. ten years
revenue from the one mill tax is avail
able at once. The property owners
can pay theirs on the seven-year plan.
Some Gay the paving law Will be ap-
piled to country as well as town and
then paving districts will be formed to
assess benefits to the land adjoining
and to land on the next section line
back or nearer to the road improved
than to any other county read. The
county will pay a large part of the
cost out of the county road fund and
bonds will be issued so as to make the
taxes Of ten, twenty or even thirty
years available at once. In this way
the Lincoln Highway or any county
road car be paved without increasing
taxation beyond the actual benefit to
the property improved and Iowa vii:
be lifted out of the mud.

REJUvENATING THE NATIONAL
GUARD.

dubuque Telegraph -Herald.J
Never before, in times Of peace, has
there been the realisation on the part
Of the American public Of the import
ance Of the proper training and equip
ment of the national guard that there
is at present. The war in Europe
seems to have brought home to every
citizen the real value Of q trained re-
serve and to men interested, though
ever so slightly, in military affairs it's
lessons loom large.
In other times the militia has been
regarded by the citizen who has not
served with the civilian troops as "tin
soldiers whose routine consisted of
a minimum drill and maximum Of
dancing. Even the militiamen them
selves have seemed to regard their
duties in that light. with the result
that their armories have been more Of
ten turned into temples OF Terpischore
than into schools Of military training.
The natural result has been that 1t
has been difficult to secure the need
ed support for the militia from the
civilian voters. Things the militia has
demanded as absolutely necessary have
been denied and. II it were not for the
assistance furnished by the war de-
partment in the matter of munitions
and supplies. the militia in many states
would have long since died out.
Today the national guard is taking
on a new life. The nation is begin
ming to realize tina: it must depend
upon the militia for it's defense in time
