THE LAKELAND NEWS,
POLK COUNTY ACTING
WISELY IN THIS MATTER

The most captious director to the
proposed bond issue in Polk county
for good roads must admit the wis
dom of the commissioners in engag-
ing the services of an engineer to
make a complete preliminary sur
vey of the proposed roads to the end
that they may be located where
they will best serve the interests of
the people and that the questions of
cost and material to be used may be
settled before the bond election is
held. The propriety for such ac-
tion is obvious, for in that way the
voter has definite knowledge of er
cry essential detail of the PROPOSE
ton he is asked to vote upon.
Nothing is left to chance or to sub
sequent determination, and the
whole enterprise is laid out in full,
clear light for the inspection of the
people.
The intelligent voter, who is
guided by his reason rather than
his prejudices in settling so impor-
tant a public issue, thus has full
data to enable him To think out the
subject in all its ASPECTS; and the
unintellieent voter, who is guided
by his preiudices rather than his
reason and is opposed to all forms
OF progress for the general better
ment of his county if it costs him
anything, is cut Oft from any ex-
ouse that the people we're voting in
the dark and knew nothing of the
location of the roads, cost, material
etc, before they cast their votes.
Over in St. Johns county, where
they are all wide-awake on this
good roads issue and have already
constructed nearly seventy miles OF
splendid brick highway, they have
noticed the action of our commits
sioner in this matter and the st.
AuSuSluo INCCOl
POLK county has adopted the st
Johns county plan of procedure II
the preliminary steps fo- securing {
system of paved highways. Thu
commissioners of Polk have engaged
an engineering firm from Savannah
to make complete survey of tn
county and lay out system o
roads that will serve all the impOr
tant communities. Just as soon a
this work is completed and the en-
gineers have drawn UP plans an
ec3fcations, the commissioner
will call for bids on the construction
of the highways as outlined and tn
materials on which estimates wi
be asked will include almost all tn
latest approved surfacing sui
stances. After the contractor
have submitted their estimates, til
commissioners will award the cor
tract to the lowest and best biddt
subject to the ratification of bon
issue for the amount of the bid
the polls The intimation Is give
that the road program will call fl
an expenditure close to one millic
dollars. Polk county is acting wis
ly in going about the matter in tn
way and the chances are al Il
greater for success.

field in this part Of the country. Last
spring he tried for weeks to plant
seventeen-acre tract to corn but fate
decreed otherwise. The land was level
and rather low and rains were fire.
quent After awhile the corn plant
ing season had passed and still no
planting done. Then it was decided
that buckwheat was the only hope and
buckwheat was planted. 1t fulfilled
expectations and more. and promises
to return a valuable crop despite the
discouraging early days of the season.
A real western cattle stampede in
miniature was pulled off here last
week when two farmers attempted to

farms. The trouble began when few
Of the animals decided to wade the
river contrary to the wishes Of their
drivers. Rounded up at last they made
stand in N. G. Duersts corn field
where one frantic steer attacked Ed
and completely routed horse and
rider, and absolutely refused to leave
the field at the time. Next day he
was gone, however, and at the time Of
this writing had not been located. The
little cornfieid looks something like
newspaper picture of an European

MUD ROADS DOOMED.

Governor Clarke Tells Younger Gen.
Grafton New Era 10 Coming.
Waterloo, Sept 2s.-"When you boys
and girls grow up you are not going to
live in an age of muddy roads," Cover
nor Clarke told big crowd Of young
sters at the children's day exercises at
the Dairy Cattle congress here yes
terday afternoon.
THE good roads question is not
new" continued the governor. Twenty
years ago Governor Larrabee and
Boies declared that the people Of Iowa
could not afford to do without them,
and said tina: the necessary investment
should be made in order to obtain good
roads and save the farmers of the
state millions Of dollars in the mar
keting of theil goods.
Personally 1 believe that the build
ing of roads with gravel or with
mixture of clay and gravel will be the
solution Of the good roads question in
Iowa. Whenever the people understand
that the building of good roads is an
investment that returns dollar for dol
lar there will be no trouble in gaining
them.
Iowa has forged ahead in wealth
but even the backward southern states
have gone ahead of us in the spending
of money on good roads. Iowa is as
far forward as any state in public
spirit and we must better conditions
and not let others get ahead of us in
the question of good roads, which is
the next grea: problem for the coun-
try"
Before leaving for Des Moines the
governor inspected a bust of himself
which has been modelled from pure
butter and placed in exhibit hall.

Finally subscription paper was
started and the people living In the
vicinity subscribed 5000 and then
asked the township trustees to appro-
pirate an equal amount. They did TINS
and gave the subscribers the prefer
ence in hauling gravel at seventy hve
cents load.
The farmers used their spare time
for this work, bringing the gravel
from a nearby pit and it was not long
before they had first clsas gravel

scriptions by working without missing

the boys have defective teeth, and TINS
condition can be remedied at a com
paratively small outlay. 1t is scarcely
necessary, in view of the evidence al

boys whose parents cannot look after

As soon as a competent leader ana
the necessary musical instruments can
be obtained il is purposed TO organize
a band among the boys. Many of them
possess unusual musical talent and
with comparatively little training
would make creditable performers.

in the ability of the Newsboys' Home
