Make 1T AN EXPOSITION.

The directors of the Jasper County
Agricultural Society voted not to al
low the city Of Newton to take hold OF
their grounds and beautlfy them and
make them the most attractive fair
grounds in the state of Iowa, as could
easily be done. Perhaps they made
mistake, possibly not but whether
they did or not the incident seems to
be closed. Now the question Is: Is
it not possible for the county to build
UP such a fair and to so improve the
grounds that the society and not the
city will make of these naturally beau
tiful grounds the gem of all the fair
grounds Of the state? Why not? The
general impression among all classes
OF our people seems to be that the
1915 exhibition will be by far the best
one ever put on by the society. Last
year the society took a great step FOR
ward by erecting the merchants ana
manufacturers building and by wiring
the grounds and putting on the night
show. These proved great attractions
and they are going to be made a much
better attraction this year. The own
ers Of booths in the new building are
preparing for splendid showing OF
Newtons industries and business en-
terprises and the managers Of the fair
have arranged for a much greater
evening show Not content with this,
they have erected other splendid new
buildings and have arranged for
much more extended program OF at
fractions this year than ever before
practically crowding an additional
days attraction into the four days
program. Now If the people take hold
ard do their part. as everyone seems
20 think that they will, the fair VIII
make money this year and the man
ayers will be encouraged to go forward
in their plans for improving the fair
and the grounds. Hereafter. all build

shacks should be veeded out as the
society Is able. The oranges OF the
county ought to Join together and erect
a grange hall on the grounds where
they could hold a farmers Institute

Of those things which are OF interest

Patrons of Hushandry.' The school

they will gladly do It II the matter Is
put up to them-and erect building

make OF our fair real exposition OF
the resources OF Jasper county? Why

Simply because the people-we do not
mean the officers. but the people-do
not provide higher attractions Let's

No doubt there are selfish interests
in some parts of the state who will
seize upon the slight falling OF in at

BEWARE OF BOGUS HOG CURES.
EIowa Falls Sentinel
Farmers should beware Of the
stranger who pulls up to the hog pen
and wants to treat the swine in order
that they may be immune from all
kinds of diseases. For SO much a
head he offers to do wonders A farm
er in Tama county paid one of these
travelling fakirs a good sum of money
to treat his hogs. Up to the time Of
treatment the animals were in a
healthy condition, but as soon as they
partook OF the alleged remedy they
took sick and scores died. There are
standard stock foods and preparations
on the market, and If these do no par
ticular good they at least do no harm.
but farmers should be careful about
investing money for alleged cholera
preventives with strangers travelling
over the country.

AsPHALT EoR ROADS.

IDes Moines Register and Leader.]
The Register has already on several
occasions called attention to the extern
sive use OF an asphalt carpetins, or
thin layer surfacing, in California road
building.
The last report Of the state engi-
neer for California shows that OF some
100 miles of road now in process OF
construction, more imam S.S mics aIe
of this type a thin layer of asphalt
from one-third to one-half inch In
thickness being spread on a concrete
base.
In the recent service bulletin Of the
Iowa highway com mission 1t is stated
that an experiment in asphalt or btu
minous carpeting is being tried out on
the cement roadway built several
years ago between Mason City and
Clear Lake. Six different mixtures
and types OF carpeting have been
spread, and careful experiments are
being made to determine the wearing
..ci:.y ard relative merit Of each.
In California the contract price OF
an asphalt layer Is cents square
yard At this price the surfacing OF
the roads is very small item, once
solid foundation is secured, and repairs
and requirements can be readily made.
The foundation is practically hides
tructihle. Even at that there is found
To be very much more wearing quail
ity in a half inch of asphalt surfacins
than many might suppose. Asphalt is,
like the rubber on automobile tires
exceedingly durable, and where II Is
properly laid will outwear concrete OF
even brick.
The only question to be raised with
regard to the Mason Cfty-Clear Lake
experiment is the question that goes
with all concrete pavements, and that
is the tendency to crumble on the sur
! face Asy sc:. CO httnninous CARPET

city pavements.

made at once. for after trying out al
the other sorts OF roads California haa
gone almost wholly to the asphalt car

pavements asphalt IL fully as durable

Kindness.


Kindness is n great blessing to
mankind. If every one would speak a
few cheering words to some forlon
soul. how much happier this world
would be. There is no better place to
cultivate the art Of kindness than in
the home. We often treat the ones
we love more unkindly than we do
some stranger. Kind words and deeds
are never wasted even If at fhrst the
recipients do not appreciate our en-
deavoring to make their environments
more attractive.
Animals appreciate kindness fully
as we'll as people. A dog and horse
are more sympathetic than the rest OF
the animals. When you have once
won their affection by speaking kind
ly to them. you may be sure Of true
friend ever afterward. We all should
therefore, make it q part of our work
TO do kind deed. to some one each
day. One doesn't have to be endowed
with this worlds goods to help some
one who is in distress. Many a poor
waif is cheered by bunch of flow
ers given them. The best way to be-
come happy and popular is to forget
the kindness you r::,der unto others,
and remember the many kind acts
shown you.
