NJ. j. CARTER COMMUNITY
BUILDER.
Has Ambitions TO Build Twelve Fine
Homes i'm OsSian.

NJ. j. Carter, Of Ossian. one OF the
veteran attorneys OF the Winneshiek
county bar, is not only good lawyer,
but he is a mighty good citizen for
his home town. He is community
builder certainly worthy of note.
Over the thriving town of Ossian
which has been his home since the
writer can remember he has built g
fine tenements, and his ambition now
lis to build twelve. We do not know
whether he will make it baker s
dozen or not, but to build twelve fine
homes for the accommodation of the
citizens is putting the name OF NJ. ].
Carter out in bold relief, and he is
entitled to lots Of credit. In our
opinion NJ. J. is not building these
homes simply to make few more
dollars, but he is simply doing it for
the good OF the community he has
called home for SO many years Citi-
zens like NJ. j. Carter are the kind
whose memory is revered long after
they have crossed the great divide
The following is from the Ossian
Bee:
"A Bee reporter in an automobile
ride around town the other day, saw
M. ]. Carter in three different places
apparently looking over real estate
Unless we miss our guess, within
few days the Bee will be able to tell
its readers that NJ J. has other realty
for the purpose of erecting several
more fine tenements for rental. His
ambition is to build twelve tene-
ments, including those he has alres-
dy built, during the ensuing tea
months. He has eight fine tenements
now, including the one undergoing
construction, which leaves but four
more 10 cause him to cease build

Stolen Auto Was Hidden i'm Corn.

Northern Iowa corn is so tall that
it is possible to hide an automobile
in corn field and leave 1t there six
weeks before discovery. A brake
man on passing train discovered
the automobile of Roy Martin, of Ma
son City, in a corn field near Mason
City last Friday. six weeks after the
car had disappeared. 1t was in the
middle of large field and had been
invisible until the frost withered the
corn stalks.

WON $50 PRIZE.

Out in Missoula, Mont, the civic

gurated a contest for More Beau
tiful Missoula", this summer Only
the lawns, vacant lots, flower and
vegetable eardens of those who enter
and Mrs. G. c. Wason, of 116 Ken
meth avenue went the biggest of all
prizes, $50 for tile best lawn in the
city. Mrs. Wason is former Decor
all girl, and will be remembered as
Miss Mary McAndrews. A Missoula
paper states thai one of the main OBJ
jectS OF the contest was TO encou:-
lage residents to beautify vacant lots
and those in charge of the contest re-
GREETED the little attention this class
received. In many cases, too, the
lawns and vegetable gardens kept
were SO small that they could not
justly be compared with the larger
lawns and gardens that really were
not of sufficient standard to merit
prizes, but showed that more work
had been done on them than was
done on the small gardens
1t is said by officers of the Cham
Der of Commerce that next year it is
probable, ii the contest is conducted
there will be a certain requirement as
to size of garden, so as to make the
judging easier and the amount oil
work put on each lawn, lot, anG
garden more uniform.

Norwood Doloees Road.

Work has finally been commenced
on the first leg of the Norwood Dolores
wagon road.
The work was commenced the first
of the week and the graders are being
employed on Oak hill. south of Nor
wood. The grade will average less
than five per cent, and the road will
run along the south and west slope of
the gulch or draw east Of the present
road
The new road will be run on the sur
veyed line of the proposed Norwood
Dolores state highway and will save
three miles of travel between Norwood
and Goshorn fiat and will be a summer
and winter road.
1t is hoped that this beginning will
result in the completion of the road to
Dolores during this season and the
spring of 1917.
Road Overseer Roth is in charge of
the construction work. which is being
done at the expense of San Miguel

$1,000 Less Taxes.

Mancos announces through its paper
that it will pay the expenses of an
election and build twenty-five thous-
and-dsllar court house and donate it to
Montezuma county for the sake Of
making that town the county seat.
This is proposition that the taxpayers
of Montezuma county cannot afford
to turn down. 1t virtually means that
for the purpose of having the county
seat located in their town the citizens
of Mancos will pay 81, 200 of the taxes
you are now paying each year.
Cortez has not been heard from in
the matter, and she has progressive
citizens that have money as well as
Dolores and Mancos. She might raise
the ante and build thirty thousand
dollar building and donate it to the
county for the purpose of keeping
the county seat there.
1t seems to US that if the farmers of
Montezuma county do not take this
matter up and push it to showdown
they are certainly not awake to their
best interests. Striks while the iron
is hot and cut down your high taxes
one thousand and two hundred dollars

George H. HUT, one of the best
known newspaper men in Colorado,
who was formerly editor of the Rico
News and later of the Cortez Herald.
and is now editor of the Norwood Post,
comments on the Dolores Montezuma
representativeship situation as follows:
Clifford Laube is Rico product,
true as steel to his district and to his
party. Dolores county is entitled to
the candidate this year and the
undivided support of the Democrats
should go to Clifford Laube.
The Post suggests these matters, As it
has known all of the candidates for
years. And in another issue of the
Post. he says: THE people = =
should make every effort to attend the
primaries and cast their vote for Cliff
ford j. Laube. This portion of Colo
RADIO will have to send brainy men to
the Legislature in order to get its just
proportion of the National Forest road
fund.-
Mr.. HUT himself ably represented
Montezuma and Dolores counties in
the state legislature twelve years ago.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs of the district, and his opinion
should have great weight with the

That Beer Bill.

1t is the women of our fair state
that have led the fight against the
open saloon. They were spurred on in
this work because the husband, sons
and brothers were the victims of the
saloons. But the Beer amendment, il
carried and made a part of our State
constitution. will reverse this order Of
things. Instead of the saloons. which
as a rule are frequented only by men
and boys, the beer will be peddled
through the cities and towns and over
the country. These peddlers will go to
the homes and it is the women and
children that are usually at the home,
SO they will have to sample and buy
the beer.
Mr.. Farmer. what would you think
if, in coming in from your work in the
field, you should find smiling. smooth
haired rum peddler giving your wife
and children liberal samples of his
foaming wares? or, MIR. Businessman,
when you return from the office, would
you care to find the aforesaid gentle
man in your parlor dishing out samples
of his goods to your family?
Just as sure as you live, if this beer
bill receives majority of votes at the
November election, beer can be and
will be peddled at the door of your
home. The peddler can give samples
of his goods to any member of the
family from the little babe that is tod
ding around the chairs TO your oldest
daughter, and you can't hinder him.
If you murder him. or only kick him
out, he will have the law on you and
you will pay dear for the satisfaction
you get.
Now is the time for the fathers,
brothers and sons to get into the fight
and swat the Beer bill. Don't fool
yourself by thinking that it is such a
foolish thing that no one will vote for
it. The chances are good that if you
do nothing more than vote against it
next November it will carry. But if
you get into the fight right now and
arouse your neighbors to the danger,
it can be defeated by big majority.
Get busy.

How to Overcome the Difficulty.

Brother Frederick, of the Montezuma
Journal, says that he will oppose the
moving of the county seat because it
would necessitate the trucking of his
print shop twelve miles, and at time
of the year when the roads are muddy.
Brother, why wait until the roads
are muddy? Now is the dull time of
the year in the print shop and the
roads are in good shape. Why not
make the contemplated move at this
time? There is certainly nothing to be
gained by waiting until later date
and, believe us, it is a pleasant sensa-
ton to publish a paper in a good town
and you would enjoy it. Don't let the
matter of moving the county seat
bother you for Dolores is the best bus
mess town, for its size, in the state,
with or without the county seat.

the Office belongs to Dolores county
this term, is refreshing oasis in the
