WIDE TIRES SAVE ROADS.

Iowa is unfortunate from the stand
point Of good roads in that the use Of
\ the narrow tired wagon is almost uni
versal. There Is no greater destructive
force tn Iowa today than the narrow
tired wagon Oklahoma, after an ex-
tensive study of the question, in her
new road legislation forbids the sale
Of any draft wagon of two tons ca
pacity, or greater and having iron or
steel tires with a tire width Of less
than three inches. The law applies to
the dealer and the penalty is a fine
OF not less than five dollars nor more
than twenty-five dollars for each We
hicle sold in violation of the act.
Iowa instead of forbidding the sale of
the narrow tired vehicle, offers bon
US for the farmers who voluntarily
makes use of the wide tire.
Long continued tests by the United
States office Of public roads have
shown conclusively that for the aver
age farm wagon used for general pur.
poses and over any type of road, the
three-inch tire is the most economical
width. 1t has the additional advantage
with the average farm loads, that 1t is
IA road builder instead of a road des-
|, troyer '..~
It would be hard to figure just what
part of the cost of road maintaining
the Iowa narrow tire actually costs
each year, but men who have made a
study of the matter place it at many
thousands of dollars. If the Iowa far.
ner will adopt the wide tire, says the
state highway commission, he will per.
form great service to the community

1.-THE situation was bound to arise,"
said General Parker. when the en-

keenly by deprivation of salaries, the
impression was that the army was
soon going into Mexico. This has not

lem. The married mans place Is back

There would be no 'odium' attach

Most OF us squander large percent
age OF our energy each day fearing
the future, worrying about what "
may bring, mentally picturing the
disastrous things which may possibly
happen. e..
Fear is the tuggernaut which brushes
mans hopes, kills his ambitions, neu-
tralizes his efforts and destroys his
happiness. II we could only get fear
out Of our lives how happy we should
be! II we could only rid ourselves OF
all fear of tho future, Of all anticipa-
tions and forebodings Of evil, what
giants we should become.
Emerson truly says, 1.-THE universe
was planned for good" Yet the ma
FORTY of US live in constant dread of
some evil thing, we hardly know what.
We seem to think the universe was
.planned for evil instead Of for good.
When Sarah Bernhard was asked
the secret of her youthful appearance
she replied that she simply would not
worry, would not allow herself to be
aanxious about anything, that she would
take life at It's best, believe In the
best, make the best of whatever came.
This has always been Nine. Bern
hardt's philosophy, and no doubt it has
had great deal to do with the mar
velous vitality, the keen sense of en-
joymeut, the amazing physical and
mental freshness of this famous wonl-
an. There is no shadow Of fear In her
lite to rob her of power and happiness.
Shakespeare says: towards die
many times before their deaths; the
valiant never taste OF death but once.
Victims Of worry and fear are cow
ards who suffer tortures, living in anti.
cipation over and over again the thing
they fear. The misfortunes. the
losses, the poverty, the diseases which
torture their imagination usually new.
er materialize at all, but they go daily
through all and more than all the suf-
fering which would attend the reality"

IOWA CORN CROP
IS SAVED BY rain

Des Moines, Aug. Rain which
was general over the state except II
the extreme eastern tier OF counties,
last night and early today saved the
Iowa corn crop from damage which
in few days more would have caused
a loss Of millions Of dollars to Iowa
farmers according to a statement
issued at 8:45 a. m. by the United
States weather bureau here.
Out Of twenty.six stations in Iowa
which report to Des Moines only Ave
reported no rain. These were Abba.
Davenport. DEBORAH, Dubuque and
Keokuk, all in the extreme eastern
portion of the state. Other stations
reported from a trace to 81 of an inch
precipitation.
The rain was reported especially
heavy at Atlantic, Cedar Rapids, Es-
therville and Council Bluffs. 1t was
believed probable that this storm
might proceed eastward, covering the,
entire state.
The complete effects on the corn
crop cannot be definitely ascertained
until tomorrow, when the weekly re-
port on the condition Of corn are re-
ceived by the Iowa weather and crop
service.
