SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR.

for minute should the state and dis

County fairs, like everything else,
have been managed and mismanaged.

THE BOY AND THE FARM.

Cedar Rapids Republican: A farm
er near Marengo, George E. Morse,
Is believed to be the first in Iowa to
operate oscilating electric fans in his
hay NOV while slowing away the
crop. That is an extreme use of the
electric power that is now available
on the farms. What the boys on the
farm will like quite as much as any
thing else is that even the grindstones
can now be turned electrically. Many
a boy has left the farm because he
hated to turn the grindstone.

Hughes Hits Wilson.

Mr. Hughes continued:
"The dealings of the administration
with Mexico constitute a confused
chapter of blunders. We have not
helped Mexico. She lies PROSTATE, i'm
poverished, famine-strickken, over
whelmed with the woes and outrages
of internecine strife, the helpless vic
tim of condition of anarchy which
the course Of the administration served
only to promote.
For ourselves, we have witnessed
the murder of our citizens and the de.
struction of their property. We have
made enemies, not friends. Instead of
commanding respect and deserving
good will by sincerity. firmness and
consistency we provoked misapprehen-
sion and deep resentment.
I'm the light of the conduct of the
administration no one could under
stand its professions. Decrying inter
ference, we interfered most exasperat-
ingly. We have not even kept out of
actual conflict. and the soil of Mexico
Is stained with the blood of our SOL
diers.
I'VE have resorted to physical inya-
sion, only to retire without gaining the
professed object. 1t is record which
cannot be examined without a pro-
found sense Of humiliation"
"a short period Of firm, consistent
and friendly dealing win accomplish
more than many years of vacillation.

concerning the appointment by mayor

portionment of the $5,000,O00 Of Fed.
eral road funds available for the fiS-
cal year ending June 80, 1917. This
is the first installment of Federal mon.
eys to be apportioned to the States
under the Federal Aid Road Act ap.
proved July II, 1916. Before making
the division among the states, the
Secretary, in accordance with the Act,
deducted per cent or $150,000 needed
for administering its provisions. This
left $4,S50,000 to be apportioned
among the states, one third in the re-.
ito of area, one.third in the ratio of
population, and one.third in the ratio
OF mileage of rural delivery routes anT
star routes. The apportionment
this basis gives Iowa $146,175.60, for
the coming year.
The apportionment is only of one

The act requires that the appor.
tiopmeut for each year shall be made
! in the same manner. Different sums
are appropriated for each year and the
apportionment must also take into
consideration the population as shown
by the latest available Federal census
and the mileage of rural delivery and
star routes as shown by the certificate
| of the Postmaster General for the next
preceding fiscal year.. A new appor.
tionment, therefore, must be an

The apportionment as given above
does not take into consideration the

year for ten years for the develop

This occasion is more than a mere

We come to state In plain and direct
manner our faith, our purpose and OuI
pledge. This representative gathering
Is happy augury. 1t means the

means that We are neither deceived
nor benumbed by abnormal conditions
I'VE know that we are in critical
period, perhaps more critical than any
period since the Civil war. We need
dominant sense of national unity
the exercise of our best constructive
powers; the vigor and resourcefulness
of a quickened America. We desire
that the Republican party, as great

national achievement, the organ OF
the effective expression of dominant
Americanism.
"America First and Efficient"
"What do I mean by that? I mean
America conscious of power, awake
to obligation, erect in self-respect, pre-
pared for every emergency, devoted to
the ideals of peace instinct with the
spirit of human brotherhood safe
guarding both individual opportunity

"InVited Distrust of Our Competence"
Mr.. Hughes attacked the present adj

there should have been conspicuous

become a lending nation, permanently.
''1ro do this we need much more mon
