GOOD ROADS BOND PLAN

Fasehood No. The fourth paragraph of this
cular by TAXPAYER II in favor of roads,
and further And how about the county levy? Will
have that in addition this bond levy This paragraph
demonstrates that TAXPAYER is ignorant
governing counties and districts he is about the corporations
and state law for the that
levy The county levy being only for bridges and the necessary
bridges throughout the county being about completed the
levy will be almost entirely eliminated
The above paragraph plainly shows that
favor OF good roads but is favor of defeating the
effort that has been made in BaroourCouny

CLARKE'S
APOSTROPHE TO MUD
Better Roads and Streets)

(Better Roads and Streets)
Mud has been defined, de
scribed, card in dexed, and cata-
logued by pretty nearly every
one who has had anything to do
with roads, an the way from the
college professor who wrote a
book or pamphlet on highways
and summed up in a more or less
theoretical way the characters
tics of the material in dignified
rhetoric, to the farmer or auto
mobile, stuck fast in the mater
ial, whose rhetoric, inspired not
by theory but by intimate asso-
citation with the subject, was to
say the least, far from dignified.
But one of the most complete
descriptions of mud and its re-
lation to the commercial and So
cial side of life, which has ever
come to our attention, was given
by Governor Clarke of Iowa, in
his address before the second
Northwestern Road Congress,
recently held at Cedar Rapids.
Governor Clarke said:
Mud is the last great handi-
cap to commerce.
Mud is the triumphant vic
tor over efforts at community
betterment.
Mud throws its impossible
depths across the way to the
rural school.
mud stretches one mile away
into the equivalent to fifteen
where mud comes not.
"Mud demands fifteen hours
where the solid track asks for
but one.
"Mud forbids half ton load
while the same power on the
hard surface would rejoice and
be glad with four tons.
Mud rejoices in the rains
and floods and holds them in
loving solution while the hard
crown casts them instantly into
the ditch.
"Mud depresses the soul of
man and brings hopeless despair
to the heart of woman.
Mud maroons the women
and children on an inaccessible
island, while they have dreams
and visions of the happy social
Efe in the faraway town whose
steeples, towers and domes, and
minarets they see as the even
ing sun lights them up far away
across the black, uncharted.
fathonless, unsailed sea.
Mud despoils life of it's beau
ty and sweetness right where
life ought to come nto its great
est estate.
mud defes progress and
throws itself directly athwart
the highway of human advance
ment."

THREE WORDS.

There are three words, the sweetest
words
In all of human speech
More sweet than are all songs of birds
Or pages poets preach.
This life may be vale of tears,
A sad and dreary thing
Three words, and trouble disappears
And birds begin to sing.
Three words, and all the roses bloom,
The sun begins to shine.
Three words will dissipate the gloom,
And water turn to wine.
Three words will cheer the saddest
days
81 love your" Wrong, by heck!
1t is another, sweeter pharse,

OLDER BUT STRONGER.

: To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your

Half the Joy of life comes
from getting good out Of things
as we go along. Some of us are
Always putting off our enjoy
ments. After a While, we expect
to take a rest, see a friend, read
a book. But after while new
er comes, the good times we are
looking forward to lies as far
away as ever. All our life is
spent in meaning to overtake it
and enjoy it. Meanwhile we
toll, drudge, and grow old, pas
sing by with unselffsh eye the
happiness we might get out of
every day.
This is becoming a wonderful
world. Everything is done by
steam pressure. When the great
Atlantic cable was being lower
ed it was on all tongues as the
greatest project the world had
ever known, and he who was the
ncssessor OF an inch piece of the
twisted wire was rich in relics.
Now we have almost forgotten
there is such a thing. The air
ship is the one center of attrac-
ton, but in few years that, too,
viii move into the shadow of
some mightier scheme.
