YEAR OF
PROGRESS
Banner Year In Lee County for the
Construction Of Permanent
BRIDGES and Culverts.

The following from the Donnellson
Review will give to the taxpayers of
the county some idea Of the substan-
tial progress the board Of supervisors
made this year. It is worthy Of care
full thought and as 1t Is election time
1t is also worthy Of careful action on
the part Of the voters. They will do
we'll to return Messrs. Maxwell and
Hosier:
This is Lee county's banner year
for bridges and culverts, and the
fine thing about It is that they are
made of cement-the permanent
kind-and not boiler pipe. By the
end Of the year the board Of supervis-
ors will have completed 1875 perma-
nent bridges and culverts, as against
seventeen last year, and that was the
largest number completed in any one
year up to that date. And another
goood feature aside from the value Of
the improvements themselves. is that
the money has been spent right here
in Lee county, mostly for labor, in
stead OF going to Monmouth, ILL.,. for
boiler pipe.
At the beginning Of the year the
bridge fund was $4,000 short, but the
board will not only be able to pay for
all these improvements but will come
out even at the end of the year. be-
sides reducing the tax levy this year.
Every steel bridge in the county
has also been painted.
The old railroad bonds and the old
bridge bond Indebtedness, caused by
the flood Of 1905, will be wiped out in
December 1920; so in four years more
,,,dar gnfalJieenf supervision, these
old debts will be memory only.

work Is Handicapped BY Lack Of
Space to Accommodate All
Mho Would
Come.

| Under the Perkins law, which pro-
woes Tor free treatment for crippled
children at the Iowa City hospital,
some hve hundred youngsters have
oeen receiving help at the state insti-
tution, and many have received
great benefit, while large percent
age have been cured Little folks who
nave been suffering from infantile
paralysis are given much help by the
treatment at the state Institution.
Nearly dye hundred children have
already been treated in the hospital
since the Perkins law went into effect.
sixty per cent Of them hate been vic
| tins OF paralysis The rest have
been dividedly chiefly between tuber-
cular trouble and congential deformi-
ties. -
Two hundred operations have been
performed to relieve deformities in
the last twelve months. Success
has resulted in the large majority of
The cases. AZ the result of these op-
erations and of the careful nursing
and education and development of
muscles, dozens of children who came
to the hospital on stretchers have
gone home on their own legs.
The work IL handicapped somewhat
by lack OF sufficient space in which
to accommodate all who would come.
The Perkins law patients soon over
flowed the two floors Originally set
aside for them and began to take up
all empty beds. The capacity OF the
hospital Is now strained to the ut.
most, and unless more space becomes
available soon, some patients will
have to be turned away.
I'VE are now in the same position
as the man with a narrow SHOE" says
Dr.. Arthur Slender, orthopedic sur
geon, who Is in charge. 1T is Just as
uncomfortable whether It is one size
or fifteen sizes too small We can
now take care of but seventy-five at
once. and since there is no provision
in the law allowing us to deny ad-
mittance to any, we must turn some
cases out before they have had suffi-
cient treatment"
Some difficulty Is caused through
the fact that there Is no provision of
carfare for the patient to and from
the hospital. The children of some
very poor people are reported to be
kept from the help of the law through
this lack of assistance.
It is estimated that there are 6,006
crippled children in the state. A bare
beginning has been made, therefore
at the treating Of them. Nevertheless,
there is hardly county in Iowa
which has not seen concretely just
how much good the Perkins law is
capable Of doing in the building Of
self-reliant men and women out OF
children who would be dependents
but for the treatment.

against the minority leaders and can- didates for speaker, on the part of members who, it is suggested, might vote for Clark instead Consequently, there is gossip among some Republi- cans regarding the advisibility of naming another man as candidate !o: speaker if one can be found upon whom the Republican membership could unite.
 As the Democrats apparently will te' in the minority, some of the friends of Champ Clark are not certain that he will be candidate to,succeed himself. Unless he can be elected speaker they prefer that he abandon the race and become a candidate for minority lead CT, the post he held for many years before the Democratic ascendency in 1912.
 Such 8 development might precipi- tate lively contest within the Dem ocratic ranks with Claude Kitchen, the present minority leader, and Speaker Clark as rival candidates for the min ority leadership.

TO STOP
 INTERFERENCE
Plans to Stop Interference. by Belli- gerents, With Oversea Trade
 Is Plan of Neutrals' League.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Full details of the recent proposal to the Brazilian Parliament by the Brazilian Society of International Law, for the forma- tion of a league of neutrals to resist trade restrictions and other encroach- ments by belligerents were made pub lie here today through the official ga zette of the Brazilian Parliament. The proposed league would contest of all pra ient neutrals, and would spring automatically into effect whenever an- other war broke out.
 He society :aV.eES the constant en- C!lachments by h.Hi%erens upon ncu- tral trade and urges the governments to take immediate steps to secure the cooperation of all neutrals for the declaration of uniform series of neu- tral rights and for the enforcement of the same. The rightj suggested are the immunity of enemy goods under a neutral flag, complete liberty to trade between neutral nations regard less of ultimate destination, freedom from any extra-terrtOrial actions such as blacklisting, and the forbidding of any alien to inform a foreign govern ment of matters which might lead to belligerent restrictions.
 Violation of these rights would be met under the plan, first by the with drawal by the neutral league of the privileges of friendly treatment for ' the offending nation, including the trade rights. In case consular or diplomatic official should be concern eG, his credentials would be handed I,.:i at once. If this proved unavail- ing. hotilities might follow.
 The report, while directed at bellig- erents of both sides in the present war, is more concerned with British trade violations. The efforts of the United States are recognized, but are declar- led ineffective. The allied blockade is fparticularly criticized. A case is cit ed in which Brazilian vessel from the United States to Brizil is alleged to have been seized, taken into Martin iane, and forced to surrender some of it's merchandise.

MAKE TESTS OF YOUR LAND
Commissioner Says Al! Farm Lands
 Should be Tested; Get Samples.

Little Rock, Nov. 13.-,SpeciaD.- John H. Page, commissioner of Agri- culture of Arkansas, in an interview about the lands of the s.ate, has the following to say:
 Soil improvement is the most inn portant thing to the farmer and land owner. We all know that it. takes as much or more labor to cultivate poor soil as it does rich, while the poor soil makes poor crops and keeps the farm CTS poor and hardworked. It is the essence of economy and good busina S to keep building up the soil. l want to see all the farmers we'll to do, their homes comfortable and happy and their children educated. To bring about this condition the soils must be improved otherwise the rich soils will get poor and the poor soils will cease to yield and our farmers will get poorer. The easiest way to keep up the soil is to put ground limestone on where needed, and to plant more clovers, cowpeas, soybeans, velvet beans and alfalfa. Most of our soil have enough potash if it were avail able. but in a hard-packed soil it is not. Put on the lime to sweeten and loosen the soil, and turn under ali stalks, weeds and grasses to add or ganic matters. Lime your land and turn under crop of clover, cowpeas ol soybeans, and if needs be use ground bone, acid phosphate or phos- phrous in any form, and you will have a greatly improved coil and grow bet ter crops. Most of our soils need lime but not all. In order that the farm CTS may know if their soil needs lime and how much for the different crops. I have arranged to make soil tests for the farmers. If you want your soil tested to zee how much lime you need send me a sample, I will test it and let you know. The way to take a sample is to use 8. spade Spade out one spadeful and cast it aside, Then shave off slice about an inch thick and about six inches deep Lay this out to dry. Take samples in the same way from several different parts of the field. When they are all good and dry. pulverize them and mix well. Then take out about a pound of the sample and send to me for the test This will give you a good average for your field. I will tell you if your soil has lime, and how much you need for the different crops. Save all the ma
