Streets Oiled Last Week.

Again the streets of our little city
are oiled, and we will have a dustless
town for another season. The two
cars Of oil, $4,000 gallons, arrived
the first Of the week but the rains
prevented it being put on until We'd
nesday. While the roads were a lit
tie damp in places, they were in ex-
cellent shape, we'll graded and drain
ed. Fred Woolley and j. F. Gill did
the work of putting the oil on and it
is probably the best job we have ever
had. MI. Woolley has had the man
agement of the work in hand this
year, being president of the CONNER
cial Club and deserves special COM
mendation for the way in which the
job has been handled. With each
years putting the oil on we gain. in
experience. This year the streets
were not swept nor was the traffic
kept off and the results seem to be
even better than when we swept the
streets and hept the traffic off for a
few days after oiling.-Garden Grove

He Never Came Back.

They tell that when Roy Schilling
went to join the X. P. lodge the first
night he went up, some of the breth-
rem told him there were not enough
present, meaning of course, that the
workers were not there. He came
away and met some other members
who asked him what the trouble was.
He said, They told me there are not
enough present. Why good Lord,
there are forty there now, and if they
can't work the degree, what in thun-
der will twice al many do to mel"
And to this day he has not gone back.

Decatur County Exhibit at State Fair.

AT the meeting of the Decatur
County Improved Stock Breeders
Association the subject of making a
county exhibit at the Iowa State Fair
this year was taken up, quite an in
terest being shown. 1t was decided
if it were possible to finance it from
outside sources that the Association
would furnish the exhibit and take
care of the work. The collecting and
preparing the products of the soil
will take the greater part of one
mans time for two months in order
to make a creditable display, there
fore the financial side will have to be
taken care Of. Mr.. Fred Woolley of
Garden Grove will have charge of the
hibit while at the fair, being we'll
qualified for the work, always having
been active in trying TO make people
look with favor toward Decatur
county and its esources. The gen.
eral opinion was that banks and real
estate dealers would be willing to
furnish the necessary funds. Mr.. c..
M. Axes has started the list with $25
and we trust that anyone who is at
all interested will help to make the
exhibit a success as it is intended
that the whole county shall be repre-
sented.
The products are to be gathered
from not less than forty farms, and
the farmers name attached to his
products.
The sheaf grain will have to be
gathered in the field before the bind
er goes in.
We would be glad to hear from
anyone having choice specimens OF
grain and vegetables or Of new vari-
cites that are being tried.
Don't expect a few men to do all
the work and make the exhibit a
success, it will take team work, SO
let everyone that can do a little to
help make it go.

Garden Grove.

NEW BILL TRIPLES SOLDIERS IN
IOWA.
Men and Officers Get Pay by Provision
in New Law in Force
july 1st.

|
Iowa's national guard will be in
creased from 3,64O to 10,400 men by
the terms of the military pay bill
which has passed both branches OF
congress and has been sent to the
president for his signature. The
measure will become a law July lst.
Several cities of Iowa have applied
to Adjt. Gen. Guy E. Logan for per-
mission to organize military compan-
les to be taken into the. guard under
the new arrangements.
The military men say that there
will be trouble in getting the men
and organizations provided for in the
new law. The men will for the first
time be placed on federal pay. The
salaries will be 25 per cent of the pay
received by the regular army. Pri-
Yates will receive an average of ST
for each drill attended; corporal,
$1.25; sergeant, $1.50; second lieu
tenant, $500 a year; first lieutenant,
S24O a year; captain, $500 a year. 1t
is expected there will be difficulty in
keeping the membership of the var
ious companies down to peace
strength Of siXty-five men. At pres
ent, when there is no pay attached to
service IN the guard, some of the
companies exceed the peace maxi
mum, and have a waiting list.
The Iowa guard now has three
regiments of infantry, four troops of
cavalry and three batteries of artil-
lery.
n new strength Of the Iowa
guard will be three times the present
strength. The a department will
direct what the new organizations
shall be. If the increase is in the
same proportion of the present force,
Iowa will be entitled to nine regi-
ments Of infantry, twelve troops of
cavalry and nine batteries of artil-
lery, the state Will then have an en-
tire division and will be entitled to
a general. The highest officer of the
Iowa guard now is Brig. Gen. II. A.
Allen, of Cedar Rapids.

New County Bridges.

The Morrison Construction Co., of
Des Moines, have a force of men put
ting in two new concrete bridges on
the Jefferson Highway east of the
Levi Brooks farm. These bridges are
to be 40 feet long of reinforced con-
crete and the waterway through the
bridge will be four feet square. These
two bridges have been in a danger
Gus condition for several years and it
will mean a great deal to the people
travelling this road when the new
bridges are completed.-Lamoni

THE oldest prohibition state in the
Union is Maine. Therefore it is in
teresting TO read what a newspaper
in "dry" Maine says about the recent
election in Vermont, in which pro-
hibition was defeated by a vote of two
to one. Vermont was "dry" for many
ears but after a thorough trial of
prohibition returned to local option.
Here is what the Augusta (Me.) New
Age has to say regarding the second
victory of the Liberals:
The recent vote of Vermont in ia
vor of local option is something in re-
gard to which the ramrodders OF
Maine have little to say. The most
significant feature about it was the
fact that the towns which habitually
vote against the saloons gave the
largest vote for local option. These
towns prefer to remain dry them
selves but they do not insist that other
towns with entirely different local
conditions shall remain dry. They
are willing to let each town make its
own police regulations. That is the
Vermont idea. Here in Maine Fay
cite, Wayne and Rome make prohibit
tory laws for Augusta, Gardiner,
Hailowell and Waterville, and Buxton
says what and how Biddleford shall
drink. The Maine cities and the
country towns as we'll would be better
off if Maine would decide to be honest
on the rum question and adopt the
Vermont idea.

THIS extract from Rev. Gregory's
sermon in last Sundays Republic will
repay careful reading, r~e-reading, and
again re-reading:
81 now say that any being gifted by
God with reason sins against the
goodness of his Creator when he
allows himself to be led like an OK by
any other human being. l am deter
mined to shut my eyes against the
brightness of human authority and to
give no more thought to the question,
"Who supports any doctrine?" but
only to weigh fairly the grounds FOR
and AGAINST it,"
The words printed above were writ
ten $40 years ago by Christian Thoma-
sius Of Leipsic, a man pronounced by
no less a parsonage than Andrew Dix
on White of Cornell University to
have been one of the greatest per-
sonalities of all the ages.
Grand old Thomasius! No Drawer,
grander words were ever written,
Thomasius was a long way ahead OF
his time, and for that fact he had tc
pay the penalty; but while they near
~ killed him they were not able to
hurt his truth, and that truth, pulsine
with the power of God himself, is to-
day beginning to receive the attention
it deserves.
Thomasius' idea-that of Individual.
ity-is the end-all the be-all oil
existence. One must be either MAN
or a THING. There is no middle
course.
The Man does his own thinking
the Thing allows others. to thinl
for it.
The Thing does not think at all; i
merely thinks that it thinks.
The Thing is simply an echo,
shadow, a reflection, made by some
thing else.
The Man is proud, self-respectine
self reliant, self-sustaining; while tn
Thing is s%ervile, spaniel-like, spine
less, ready to come-like the littl
doggy-to anyone's whistle. y "
1t is not necessary for me to sa
that, even at this late day, the grea
majority of human beings are still i
the Thing stage.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear, Ther9 IS
onIv one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intlaned condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
This tube is iniamed you have q rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

IHAvE heard from Mr.. Roach, and
his answer is the same as that he
made to the st. Louis papers: that he
''had not, or would not enter into an
agreement with Shupp & Co., or any
other organization" For me, this
assurance from him was unnecessary;
but for the public a specific statement,
duly authorized, is satisfying.

WHY did the st. Louis papers neglect
to publish Con. Roach's reply to the
query whether he had kow-towed to
to one Shupp in his attempt to knock
out the referendum? Mr.. Roach's
answer was full and unequivocal. If
a "country newspaper" were to do as
they have done I would call it I'M
fair and contemplate, and see no
reason why the same judgment shall
not be rendered against them.
