mostly by farmers. The vote Tor bond
Ing for bridges and for grading was
overwhelming. not more than q dozen
or, so being opposed. There was more
opposition to graveling but the ma
1ortty even for that was easily three
to one. Hardin county next door north
VIII grade and gravel its entire county
road system within three years on the
bond plan. Tama next door east will
grade its entire county road system
within three years and gravel as much
as 1t can on the bond plan. Story next
door west now has fifty miles of
graveled roads and will add another
fifty in the next three years so that
the average Marshall county farmer
who would like to see what hard
road looks like will not have far to
go outside Of his own county.
Half a hundred farmers who bought
land in this county for transfer in
March gave back mortgages amount
ing to more than 100000. all due and
payable within ten years. but some of
those same farmers were afraid to let
$4,000 people in the name OF their
county, borrow that much money for
their public works payable in twenty
years.
The census bureau at Washington
tells us that Marshalltown factories
increased their invested capital 40 per
cent in Ave years, increased the value
of products turned out nearly z per
cent and wages and salaries paid were
increased per cent, but the number
Of wage workers decreased while the
number Of salaried men increased. The
readjustment is due to the fact that a
large number Of small concerns have
sprung up in which the proportion Of
proprietors and statesmen to factory
workers is large while some Of the
larger factories have decreased their
wage workers in number while leav-
ing their invested capital and salaried
officers and statesmen the same. Dur
ing the past five years the growth Of
our local factories has been confined to
the small enterprises. No large ones
have been added and the large ones
which were here have not expanded
materially The past five years bave
not been good years for growth in
manufacturing and much depression
among factories has been prevalent

LOCAL COMMENT

There is always some consola ton in
every defeat If one is willing to look
for il. So it is in the defeat of the
school boards request for money with
which 70 buy two new school sites and
make betterments in school buildings
The board will be compelled to pro-
vide for necessary repairs so that from
5 $4,000 70 $40, 900 Of the $50. 900 asked
will he IN the budget anyway The
Ia" gives the board that authority and
the necessity of keeping up school
property must be met II the board
should ask for a bond issue for the
purchase Of new sites and permanent
buildings at special election it would
De better method of financing any
way One reason our school taxes
have been so high is that we are try
ing TO pay for all our school buildings
too fast We now have si25, 900 worth
OF schoo! property paid for and only
$4,000 worth strung out to be paid
from future taxes. Mr. L. C.. Abbott.

There should be no hurry about MAX
ing this generation dig for the full cost
Of school sites which will always be
worth more than they cost or for
buildings which are going to serve
other taxpayers fifty years hence.
School money can be had this year for
almost per cent and the issue Of

tribute the cost over so many years OF
tax income that it will not fall heavily
in any one year.

BLIND SOLDIERS To
GET WIRELESS JOBS
French Scientists Agree Men
Who Have Lost Their Siqht
Are Fitted for Work.

PARIS. June 8 (By maiD.-French
scientists, who have been making an
extended investigation OF future occu-
pations for soldiers rendered blind dur
Ing the war. have almost unanimously
agreed that there is no field of work to
which they could possibly be better
adapted than that Of wireless tele-
graph operators.
II is expected that as a result Of their
recommendations the French govern
ment will be asked to reserve this pro-
fession almost exclusively for them.
The gain. II Is asserted, would not only
be to the blind soldiers, but to the pub
lie as well.
Scientific Investigation has developed
that the qualities most essential for a
wireless operator are highly developed
faculties OF touch and hearing. These
two faculties not only remain intact to
soldiers who have been blinded at the
front, but because OF the loss of sight
reach a degree Of development never at
tained by men who possess also the
