Patrick corbisy to Celebrate Annivsr.
sary on The Seventeenth OF March.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls. March 15.-Born IN
County Meath, Ireland on 'St Pat
rick's Day in tn mornin," 1912. Patrick
Corbley, who lives with his daughter,
Mrs. Nels Christensen. three miles
west Of Cedar Falls, has celebrated st.
Patrick's Day oftener than any other
man or woman in Iowa, 1t is believed.
He viii be 104 on Friday, March II.
Despite his great age. Mr., ,Corbley
still enjoys life, eats heartily ana
smokes an old black pipe almost in
cessantly. His eyesight Is but little
dimmed by the years and he makes his
way about the farm home without as
sistance. In fact, until the past two or
three years his vitality was so great.
his physique SO rugged, that he often
made trips to town, sometimes walking
the entire three miles. But lately he
has not ventured 80 far from home.
His rema rkable longevity is undoubt-
eddy due in large measure to the fact
that he was never Ill day in his life.
And he bids fair to- live for many
years more to celebrate st. Patricks
Day and his birthday
His wife died many years ago. He
has two daughters living, Mrs Chris
Hansen, with whom he makes his
home, and Mrs. Dan Corrigan, of this
city. GIe was one of the pioneer set
tiers here. coming to Cedar Falls more
than fifty-hHe years ago.

mont Of Iowa highways. ETlaborafo ex-
hints including a good roads moving
picture show were features OF the
gathering.
4 Outlining the history OF good roads
Legislation In Iowa. A. L, Ames. former
state senator, said in part:
The development of Iowa roads
since the good roads movement began
to occupy tho attention Of farmers and
townsmen turnout the country has
been q natural development and has
brought about problems OF road build
ing which have occupied the attention
OF some Of the country's most eminent
engineers. The varying conditions In
different localities have made 1t nee
essary to adopt different methods or
road building in nearly every case
with the result that while the aver
age Of Iowa roads as compared with
other highways. Is very high, the ma
terial used and the methods OF con-
struction have differed as the needs
and demands Of the localities re-
CURED"
Mr.. Ames said that the increase in
property value In several counties has
money collected for use on roads rath-
err than the levy of any additional
mileage tax He said that the idea OF
increasing mileage tax was general but
declared 1t was erroneous. Property
valuation increases at almost 9 fixed
ratio, he said and may be depended on
to do 80 for many years to come. He
thought the amount Of money expend-
ed on roads also gradually would in
crease.
In another portion Of his address,
Mr.. Ames declared that the present
road fund, allowing for the usual per
cent Of increase for five years. Will
make a fund sufficient to grade and
gravel all county roads and pay off the
price Of the same during the life OF
the road, allowing a reasonable amount
for maintenance and repair to be paid
out annually from the fund.
Discussing the road patrol system in
his district. w. D. Strayer. Of Hudson.
chairman of the Black Hawk county
board Of supervisors, said that to be
in road patroling. the coun-
ty should be divided into from twelve
to eighteen districts, according to the
amount Of road to be patroled. No
man, he said, could successfully main
tain more than twenty miles of road.
Road patrols, Mr. Strayer said. |
should make 1t their study to see to IT
that all county roads in their district /,
are properly dragged after every rain;
should make all temporary fills on
grades to keep the grades smooth and
in good condition and should be espe-
ctally careful to keep approaches to
bridges and culverts properly filled.
Temporary bridge repairs. such as the
replacing of hand rails. planking and
wing timbers also should devolve on
the road patrol, he said.
Prof r. H. Macdonald. Of Ames, and
others spoke.

Indication that Albert B. Cummins,

With the exception Of a few coun-
ties where factional fights in the
democratic party had added interest
to the delegate contests. the vote
turnout the state was light. Woodrow
Wilson was unopposed for the presi-
Dental nomination on the democratic
ballot, the contests for election as
delegates being waged between forces
allied with National Committeeman
Fred B. Lynch and the so-called anti
Lynch contingent.
Early returns gave no definite indi-
cation as to which faction would con-
troll the delegation to the national con-
vention but the Lynch adherents
claimed victory.
Neither Eugene N. Foss, former
governor of Massachusetts nor Will
liam Sulzer, former governor Of New
York, had decided advantage In the
first returns on their contest for the
prohibition nomination for president.
Contests for the presidential NOM
nation were limited to the prohibit

were unopposed. having no presiden-
tial candidate in the field.

Sioux City, March IA prisoner
of different Mexican factions, con-
demned to be shot by Gen. Inez
Salazar, escaping thru sheer force and
nerve. fleeing from the battle field
under a rain of bullets, marching for
two years with the Villa army as a
Red Cross nurse and coming back to
her home in Iowa to tell of her ad-
ventures are a part Of the experiences
of Mrs. Frances May Reiser, Of
Chihuahua, Mexico, who is at the
Martin hotel today with her sister,
Mrs. L. L. Hallam, jr., Of Hawarden.
Mrs. Reiser has been for sixteen
years in Mexico; she has travelled the
length and breadth Of the country. She
has had crowded into the last three
years experiences that compare favor
ably with those gained on the battle
fields Of Europe, insofar as the vicis-
STUDIES Of actual combat go. In some
particulars her experiences have been
more narrowing, for she. was further
from the centers Of civilization; she
had none OF the modern equipments Of
field hospital service and she dealt
with class Of men vastly inferior-to
those who are in command in the war
zones of Europe.
8. Need 100000 Men.
Leaving the Villa army in December,
Mrs. Reiser returned to private life
and had been out of touch with the
Villa situation until the recent re-
ports Of the massacre at Columbus.
She is now of the opinion that General
Funston already has his army across
the border in pursuit of the bandit
bands but she does not believe that
the reign Of peace can be brought
about with the force this country now
has on the border. Her opinion is that
it will require at least 100000 men to
