WEST LIBERTY IS
ON BIG BOOM NOW
APPDOvES PLAN FOR $4,000 HIGH
SCHOOL AND LAYS MILES 1
OF PAVING.

West Liberty, March 10. = With
more paving done during the year
1915, than most towns of its size have
done in their whole history, West
Liberty has set out on comprehen-
sive plan of paving which will mean
that practically every foot OF streets
and many of the alleys within the cor
porate limits Of the town will be cover,
ed before the present year is passed:
The city council has lately approved
the contract for the paving to be done
this year. This is all the more re.
markable because of the fact that
twelve months ago there was not a
foot of paving within the town.
When the entire system OF paved
streets is completed, nearly a mile and
half of the river-to-river road, the
principal highway leading into town
and which carries the most OF the
tourist travel through this part OF Iowa

WONDERFUL.
Especial Correspondence. }


| Eddyville, March 10.--Each night
the tabernacle is filed by larger
crowd The lines are tightening and
the religious rerver Is deeper than
it has yet been. Mr.. Phelps has not
tons to come to Christ as he seems
to think that the time is not yet ripe.
Many expect him to extend such a
call tonight.
Before his sermon Mr.. Phelps took
opportunity, among other things, to
mention the kindness Of The Ottum-
wa Courier in opening its columns to
the report OF the meetings and
thanked it in appropriate terms for
the same.
Partnership With Christ.
Partnership with Christ was the
evangelist's subject, the text being
found in Cor. 3:9, s'For we are part.
ners together with God"
The Church Business institution.
Mr. Phelps Is an ex-commercial
traveller. He said that he was not
professional preacher but business
man evangelist. After having gone
into detail describing what the av-
erage church expected Of the average
preacher and having criticized the
church member who wants to run or
bust" the church, he emphatically
drew the conclusion Of what the
church ought to be by saying, "The
church is a business institution for
saving souls" .... "
The Samples. .N
He said that the average church
has good line to sell but that it often
carries some mighty. poor samples.
At this juncture the evangelist took
a bouquet of artificial flowers and
asked the audience what success he
would have selling seed from such
samples He then took one of the
flowers and set fire to it, illustrating
it's artifciality and signifying the end
of the artificial Christian.
Responsibility.
Partnership" said the evangelist,
involves responsibility Every
member of the firm is responsible for
the losses as we'll as the gains. And
every church member Is responsible
for the loss of human souls that they
could reach for Cod
Here he dwelt on the fact that the
person who shares responsibility
shares the profits. He closed with
the beautiful thought that greatest
profit to be shared is that which
comes from knowing that one has been
instrumental in leading a soul to God.
At the close of the service a score
of unsaved lifted their hands. for !
prayer ...r

something will be done with the road
outside Of the corporate limits also.
Another example Of the way that the
town is planning for the future is that
the school board lately approved plans
for new $4,000 high school building.
A few weeks ago the old grade school
building was destroyed by fire, and It
Is proposed that the present high
school building which is too small
shall be utilized by the grades and
that a fine modern building be erected
to take care of the demands of the
high school. 1t is said here that there
will be little or no opposition to the
proposed expenditure.

Business Men Confident.

cit is the firm belief Of business men

on the road will be resumed in the

son. 1T is we'll known that some grad
ing on the road has already been done,
and whatever operations the Great
Northern starts in the spring will be
simply resumption of work begun
sometime ago. .
ST was informed just day or two
ago that high official of the Hill road
had given assurance that at least a
start toward it's completion would be
undertaken, if not the entire line from
Lewistown to Fairview.

"This will mean great era of De,
velopment for Montana. This ROAD
taps a good country that will be a
great producer as soon as railroad
has been built through it. 1t Will tap
the eastern part of Fergus county, and
will extend through Dawson county,
which has less railroad facilities PROB
ably than any other county in the
state. Dawson county is bound to
come to the front and there is little
doubt but that the building OF TINS
road will mean the influx of hundreds
of new settlers"

SCARCITY OF LABOR IN
FIELD UNPRECEDENTED
Many Operations Said to be Able
10 Work Only Fifty. five to
Sixty Per Cent Capacity.

IL Is said authensically that never in
the history OF tie Norfolk and Western
coal fields has such scarcity OF labor
beec experienced - ut this time. The
labor situation, it is said, hes become =
very serious problem with the operstoss
- u0s~ksfis-in s;sls s-f-s> ---
The labor element is factor of first
Importance. and il is SAID that the mines
throughout the Norfolk and Western
helds are able to work only from fifty
i've Tn sixty per cent oi capacity. TIE
cause Tor time was ear shortage and
not sufficient boats, hut il has come now
to b. due 70 labor shortage. IL il clsim-
ed by coal men that the labor situation
- debating the increasing prices of coal
The demand for export coal is grow
ing, and predictions are that plenty OF
vessels will be available during the re-
msinder Of this month and the months
Of June and July IL j. predirted freely
that export coal will reach Lew high
levels within the next three months.
With such a labor problem confronting
the Norfolk and Western operators, they
are having great difficulty to meet all the
demands for coal.
lt - said by one who keeps in clo-e
touch with the Norfolk and Western
fields % be an ineontrovertible fact that
the shortage Of labor has retarded the
development Of southern West Virginia
fields. He cited number Of companies
that had planned further Developments
but were forced to stop on account Of
lack OF labor. Ii is said that within the
last lew months hundreds Of foreign Ia
borers have left the Flat Top fields and
gone north to secure work at the ~tee
mills and munitions plants. Most Of
tbese laborers have been Italians. While
the operators have no Sefinite informa-
ton ~ 70 why 80 many Italians have left
the local hPlds, il Is surmi.ed that they
have been instructed by their con-als to
seek employment in munitions plant-.
Another reason given for the labor
shortage in the Pocahontas field - said
10 be the shutting of the whiskey SUD
ply. In connection with this many Of
the operators agree that the drouth ~
