Temperance
by Walt Mason.

"I'll gladly hit the water cooler"
says George, Great Britain's worthy
ruler, and cut the bugjuice out, az
an example to the laddies who blow
the shilling of their daddies for por-
ter, beer and stout. By foreign foe
we are endangered, and Booze, like
some fierce dog endangered, is rails
ing hob at home; it tolls not and
keeps men from toiling, and keeps
them hot with useless broiling, as
they blow off the foam. We're run
ming short of ammunition be-
cause our working mems condition
recalls the old D. T.; the provocation
now seems ample, and so I'll set a
good example-no longer cold drinks
for me-" 'Tis thus with all the war
ring nations; they're finding out that
liquid rations are fruitful of despair,
far more than all the swords that
slaughter, the submarines down
under water, the airships of the air.
In Russia now no vodka's fow-
ing, we see the thirsty moujiks 60
ing to tap the helpful we'll; and
France, the volatile and merry, pro-
hibited the old green fairy" that
sent her sons to hell. The German
soldiers heard the Kaiser inform
them it would be wiser, to give the
pump a show; thus all the rulers are
deciding that Barleycorn, the long
abiding means trouble. strife and woe.

will loosen the fine dust on the road
bed, the narrow iron tires of heavily
laden wagons will further seperate
this dust from the roads foundation,
and, as a result the roads will soon
be full of holes. Along comes a
heavily laden wagon with narrow
tires that break through the hard
upper crust, and thus the good road
will be in fair way to rapid de-
struction.
Good roads invite immigration
to any country. but bad roads do
not invite the immigrants to any
place no matter how good the place
is. To market his crops the farmer
needs good roads. and the city
man needs good roads in order to
extend his business. The farmer
needs the city man, and the city man
needs the farmer. The success of
one means the success of the other.
You will never find single, thriv-
ing, hustling city in an agricultural
community where the farms are run
down, poor roads, weeds growing
up along it's sidewalks. and empty
store buildings staring in your face.
Good roads mean better schools.
Can you imagine the agony of a
mother when she has TO awaken her
little children and send them thru
snow or rain and mud, and their
little feet are compelled to wade
through long lines of liquid morass
called a road, to schoolhouse,
there to shiver all day with wet feet.
If the child Of to. day is to grow
into manhood with strength and
character he must have the oppor-
tunity to attend school. There is
nothing which hurts the people
more or keeps them back more than
bad roads. And there is nothing
that a man can think of that will do
more to help the people than good
roads, easy TO travel, over which it
is a pleasure to go homeward, and
churchward and schoolward and
thereby avoid many cuss-words,
caused by bad roads.

Your Friend

You have many friends, and you
may marry, but your mother is your
first and your last. Cherish her
then, while you may; for the day
will come when every hasty deed
and needless word will come back
with it's sting to rankle in your heart
when regret will be unavailing.

Dubuque, Nov. e2.-When his atten-
ton was called to the announcement
that county organizations would be
formed among the republicans Of Iowa
to further the presidential candidacy
Of Senator Cummins. Mr.. John T.
Adams the Iowa members Of the re-
publican national committee. expressed
the conviction that If Iowa is to exer-
else in the next republican national
convention, the influence justly due her
as a republican state, all elements Of
the party must get together in sup
port of Iowa's candidate for the presi-
dency.
NO other course could be justified
by existing circumstances" said Mr.
Adams. We should recognize the
practical considerations which have
brought all republicans of Ohio and
Illinois together in support Of single
candidate from each of these states.
and the obligation is enforced in Iowa
by the fact that we have but one
aspirant to the executive office. Sena-
tor Cummins. ! do not doubt that the
delegation from this state will be made
as thoroughly representative and in
huential as possible by forgetting and
ignoring all past differences in the
party"
