CHANGE ROUTE OF HAWKEYE
HIGHWAY.
(Dyersville Commercially


The board of supervisors of Della
ware county, were in Dyersville,
last week comforting with the officers
of the Dyersville Commercial club,
relative to proposed change in the
route of the Hawkeye Highway at
the west limits, of Dyersville, by
which the distance between Dyers-
Vile and Earlville will be, shortened
over a mile, not only, but a danger
Gus grade crossing will also be elm
mated.
Secure Federal Aid.
Action for change in the road
comes about as result of the pros
pective development Of the Hawkeye
across the county, by joint federal
and county aid. The officers of coun-
ty have made application for share
of the federal appropriation and
prospects for the aid, are encourag-
ing.
The change to be made is at the
west limits of the interpretations. The
route as proposed, is along the south
of the Illinois Central right-of-way,
to a point, where the first north and
south road intersects. At this point
according to the plans subway will
be built, joining the road with the old
route continuing west.
Dangerous Grade Crossing.
The change will be welcomed by
many people who travel the road,
which is one of the main arteries OF
travel from the west and northwest.
The crossing at the point where the
change begins, has long been consi-
dered dangerous one and several
fatal accidents have occurred there.
The officers of the local club as
sisted the Delaware county officials
in securing options on the property
necessary for the change, and the
matter is now up to the action OF
the state highway commissioners and
the board of supervisors. The land
to be secured for the right-of-way is
owned by Barney Tegeler and Jos.
Kronlage.

The recent purchase OF the DANISH
West India islands for twenty-five mil
lions of dollars was paying more than
$24O an acre for all the land we got.
They were manly desirable for naval
purposes as the harbor of st. Thomas
is one of the best in the West India
section as a great safeguard to the
Panama canal.
Over 81, 600, 600 coins were mlnted

ords.
The United States has recently
placed an order for nlnety-siX air ships

The Northern Pacific railroad is pre-
pairing to build two-track tunnel ~
miles long through the mountain to
shorten the route to Puget sound and

a half years is the time estimated to
complete the tunnel and the expense
is estimated at over $43, 100000. 1t
will reduce the present time four
tifths.
For the first time in over fifty years
the Indian population is said to be
growing. Better sanitation and health
measures are said TO be the cause.

CRossvILLE TENNESSEE. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY a. 1917.

S. N. Smith, as attorneys for the new
board.
In this connection it is proper to
state that Judge Roberts did uphold
the election on the evidence presented.
Had the matter been carried to the su-
preme court 1t would have been done
to test the legality of the election,
which some claim would not have been
sustained by the supreme court for the
reason that full ten days had not
elapsed between the date of first pub
lication of the election call and the
date on which the election was held.
70 count ten days it would be neces-
sary to count both the day of publica-
tlon and the day the election was held,
which some claim cannot be done and
conform to the election laws.

PROLIFIC CORN is BEST
Yields Nor POUNDS Of Grain to the Acre
Than the One Ear Variety.

1t has been shown by many tests by
nearly every experiment station in the
south that prolific corn produces more
grain than the single ear varieties.
The North Carolina varieties, such as
have been grown to some extent in
this county, are among tho largest
yielders.
The Tennessee experiment station
classes Hickory King as one of the
foremost varities for upland and this
plateau section. 1t is especially rec
commended for silage purposes because
of the small cob, which renders it easy
for stock to eat.
If you have been growing the one
ear variety of corn you should get some
good prolific variety this year and
grow more than one ear to the stalk.
1t has been shown that we'll selected
seed ccrn grown in the south or the To-
cality where used produces more pounds
of grain than seed from a distance, es
pecially from the northern states.
Corn from the northern states which
is almost always of the single ear var
iety--requires at least one year to be
come acclimated, so that the best pos
sible results from that particular corn
may be expected.

fired first.

after he was defeated tor sheriff on

ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART?
Are You Encouraging Things That Are
Good for the Young People,

saw an old man out on the farm the
other day whose career set me think
ing. He is naturally man of kindly
impulses, a good hearted man. He IS
a good neighbor. He has never been a
sot, and has never figured IN any court
as a law breaker or disturber of the
public peace. Still, this man has ruin
ed his lite by acts of dissipation and
immortality.
What | wonder IS whether this man
is to blamed for his broken life, or
whether the community or the state IS
to blame. | doubt whether that man
Is naturally at heart any worse than
you or I--poss,by better than you or |.
But he grew up unlettered and IN an
lndivldualistIc nelghborhood, a neigh
borhood without community spirit, and
without well-developed social inst1Iu
tions. And the craving of every hu-
man heart is Tor variety, color, some
thing to break the monotony of the
common round of life and work.
eff that man had had an education,
If some worthy and ennobllng interest
had come into his life to engage his
thoughts, / doubt whether he would
ever have gone off into those practices
whose consequences now shame him
and his kin, - sand one Of his friends
Aud am mclne5 to b-heve that
this friend was right. Or If there had
been a wholesome social life in the
community, if he had gotten interested
with group of others in singing, or
baseball, or social parties, CT anything
that offered change from the regular
routine of lite, doubt whether this
man would ever have gone off after the
baser things of existence.
And all this suggests the moral duty

rs acies Of recreation.
SeeRr child is going to get Interested
in something besides eating and drink

keep HIM from getting interest ID in
bad is to see that he gets
interested in something that Is not bad.
The best way to keep down useless
or obnoxious plants on any piece OF
land is to set it to growing useful
plants. The land is gong to grow
something. and your child's mind is
going to grow something.
Get your child to take up some hob
