lMOunt vernon Record
A new and peculiar issue is being
injected into Iowa politics. A dis
giuntled portion of the republican
press Is against W. L. Harding for
governor, because some one else is for
HIM. The issue was moulded cast and
launched from the office Of the DeS
MONIES Register. 1t is born of per-
sonai gruage that led Gardner Cowles,
one OF the principal stockholders OF
that paper TO utter a threat that he
would drive Mr.. Harding from Iowa
politics. That threat was made after
Mr.. Cowles failed of confirmation l.,
the penate at the time Governor Clarke
appointed him TO the state board OF
education. -Anamosa Eureka.
SO far as the Register and Leader is
concerned this paper has no cars. II
has been unable TO Understand the K.
a. l.. for Many moons.
But as TO history, the Record d, sire

These are the facts. 1t is easy to

nevertheless. The opposition to Mr..

Length, seventeen inches. The broad
black band near tip Of tail distin.
cuisines this from other grouse.
Range: Resident in the northern
two.thirds Of the United States and
in the forested parts of Canada
Habits and economic status: The
ruffed grouse, the famed drummer and
finest game bird Of the northern
woods, is usually wild and wary and
under reasonable protection we'll with
stands the attacks of hunters. More
over, when reduced in numbers, 1t
responds to protection in a gratifying
manner and has proved to be we'll
adapted to propagation under artificial
conditions. Wild fruits, mast, and
browse make up the bulk of the vege-
table food Of this species. 1t is very
fond of hazelnuts, beechnuts, chest
nuts, and acorns, and It eats practical
ly all kinds of wild berries and other
fruits. Nearly 60 kinds Of fruits have
been identified from the stomach con-
tents examined. Various weed seeds
also are consumed. Slightly more
than 10 per cent Of the food consists
Of insects. about half beetles. The
most important pests devoured are
the potato beetle, clover.root weevil,
the pale-striped flea beetle, grapevine
leaf.beetle, May beetles, grasshoppers.
cotton worms, army worms, cutworms,
the red-humped apple worm, and saw.
fly larvae. While the economic record
Of the ruffed grouse is fairly COM
mendable, 1t does not call for more
stringent protection than Is necessary
to maintain the species in reasonable
numbers.

road and bridge work as thH only basis

A much relished morsel of deceit and
dishonesty by some is the oft quoted
statement that "one of the prime rea-
sons why the college administration
wishes to keep the highway commits
sion at Ames is for the purpose of Sc
curing places for their engineers
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Let us take a glance at the
facts. Some thirty five Of ninety nine
county engineers in Iowa are Ames
graduates. The engineering school at
Iowa City has a representation among
the county engineers closely proper
tional to the graduates there as COM
pared with those from Ames. About 40
per cent Of the county engineers of the
state of Iowa are not graduates Of
either Ames or Iowa City Many OF
them come from other states. In the
minds Of impartial and fair persons
these things will prove that the high
way commission is not administered in
the interests Of Ames college grad
yates.
In the face of these things it strikes
one quite emphatically that the oppo-
sition encountered in some quarters to
the location of the highway commission
at Ames, Is something like the general
opposition encountered in some quar-
tiers to the existence Of the commits
sion. 1t is the opposition which all
great improvements encounter and it
may be likend to the ripple which
serves to mark the progress of the
shin. -----

Billiards is pleasing substitute for
the two-mile run which has practi-
cally the same effect upon the legs
causing them to droop YEARLY toward

bit like shooting star. 1t is very
healthful form of exercise. and is
specially recommended for the use of
exhausted business men who are try
ing to work up enough ambition to
tackle the lawn mower.
There was a time when billiards
was looked upon by the clergy as
snare of the devil, but since il has
been introduced in the Y. NJ. c. AS
and the parlors of the church 1t is
considered no more harmful than
the annual rattle for the pipe organ
fund. Some mothers and fathers
go so far as to say that they would
rather have their boys play billiards
in the church than in some base
ment poolhall with blind pig in con-
nection, thus establishing proof of the
doctrine of total depravity. II every
church in the country had billiard
room for its boys presided over by
one Of the brethren who at some time
or other was a fourteen-carat hoy

Billiards is played by poking ivory

There is only one kind of physical ex-
ercise which calls more muscles Of the
body into play than billiards, and that
is saving wood, but owing to the
scarcity of cord wood. men are driven
to playing billiards. Most men would
prefer to saw cord of wood before
breakfast and their wives would pre-
fer to have them, but our standing

THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
TVinton EAGLE.

Representatives of highway commits
sions in other states where the head
quarters are at the state capital have
often expressed preference for the
Iowa plan for the reason that they be
lieve that the location at some other
point than the capital makes 1t pos
sible to get higher state of efficiency
into the work and activities Of the
commission than as tho 1t were at the
center Of political activities OF the state
government. One thing is certain and
that is that there Is no politics con-
nected with the Iowa State Highway
Commission and that the location OF
the headquarters at theffSengineerins
school helps to maintain the test oil

Youth asks age:

The gift Of my desires?
VIII love, ambition, wealth and power
Uphold me thru the mires?
Tell me. what lies beyond the HILL

Where l may ever live and learn,
Or die a greater fool?
You have made the journey there
Seen, and Travelled back;

Age answers:
Listen youth: The goal you seek
Is not SO far from home,
So may you find it in an hour
NO need to roam and roam.
Your wealth must be heart of gold
Your power must be pure.
Ambition must be bound with love
To make your journey sure.
You ask me of your journeys end?
you are brave and true
fertile plain, happy home,
Are waiting there for you.
