GOOD FEELING MAKES BOND
Seldom a Necessity for One Person
to Set Out to Make Another
Unhappy.

The true idea of life is to be happy
even if we cannot have our way. OF
course, there are circumstances that
are cruel and pull us down, like
Swamps and cliffs that confront trav-
eler. But out in the open, where men
are coming and going, the blue skies
are smiling, the flowers are bloom
ing, the moon is shining, the dogs are
barking, the autos are speeding and
everything is on a level, it is positively
unmanly and inhuman for a person to
be growing and granting because his
neighbor does not think and act as he
does. Poise and kindness draw the
victorious battle line of life. We sat
one time with great naval hero on
the deck of a warship, and at first we
were scared by his awful presence, but
he told us an anecdote that we had
told a score Of times ourselves, and we
laughed so heartily over it that the
mere telling constituted bond Of SYM
pathy chat made us beat as one. The
great deeds he had done fitted admir-
ably with the insignificant things we
had done, and his greatness was a
benedictiOn to us. The incident only
disclOSes the fact that personalities
blend with anothers life, when good
feeling and sincerity rule the event.

SOMETHING LIKE CIDER MILL
Jlmmle's Capacity for Consuming Ap.
pies Truly a Thing That Was
More Than Remarkable.

Jimmie's capacity for apples had
never been tested, but it was the opin-
ion of the neighbors that he could eat
at least a bushel day.
The actual test came when Robert,
his schoolmate, invited him over. Rob-
ert's father owned an apple orchard.
"Come over. Jimmie" invited Rob-
ert, land if you don't get all the apples
you can eat we will set out more trees.
We only have hundred and ten."
Jimmie went, and when he returned
home he wore 9 smile Of contentment
and look of pain.
"What's up now, youngster" ques-
TONED Jimmie's uncle. Been robbing
somebody's chicken roost?"
"Naw," replied the nephew. 1--WE
been over to Roberts, and you ought
to see their barn! It's chuck full of
apples, all kinds! ate twenty-four,"
and Jimmie's face flushed with pride.
"How do you know you ate that
many?" asked his uncle, sarcastically.
did you use an adding machine?"
"Nspe, saved the STEMS" and jim
mic proudly unloaded handful from
his pocket.
His uncle counted the stems seri-
ously.
"See here, young man, there are
thirty-one stems here. You missed
count some way"
Jaw, I forgot to tell you, unk, the
last seven were little ones, so didn't
count them," and Jimmie fastened out
in search Of new hearers.-1ndianapo

appoint the patrolmen, fix their pay,
make the rules and remove them at
pleasure.
If a loafer or incompetent is kept on
the job, the board must shoulder the
blame.
Road patroling is not a new thing.
Such law exists in many states and
the system has been successfully
operated in number of Iowa counties.
Clayton county has been doing it
thoroughly for two or three years and
here is the way it is handled in that
county.
Clayton County Patrol System.
All of the maintenance and repair
work and most of the permanent work
of the county, is taken care of by the
patrolmen. Each man is supplied by
the county with all road machinery
and tools necessary for the carrying
on of the work He is also allowed
to hire extra help at the same rate he
is paid, to assist in dragging or other
work, providing an order is given by
member of the board or engineer.
The road machinery furnished is as
follows:
l wheel scraper; l slip scraper;
road pillow; 1 Kelly road drag
glide, 2-horse grader; Necessary
small road tools, such as picks, stone
hammers, etc.
The patrolman is under a written
contract to work for the county at the
time and place designated by the
board of supervisors or the engineer.
He is required to give bond to in
sure the care and return of tools. The
average price paid to patrolmen is
271a cents per man, 471s cents per
man and team, and 10 cents for each
extra horse per hour. Extra help is
paid Is cents per man and as cents
patrolman is authorized to hire help
for dragging. At the close of the
season an inventory of all tools, sup
plies and road material is made and
sent to the engineer. .
The average rate paid Throughout
the state of Iowa per hour for a man
and team, during the past season, was
47h cents. The time required to
drag one mile of road per round trip
is about one hour.
The average number of horses used
on each drag in Clayton county last
season was three, and cost an average
of 57k cents per mile per round trip.
The average cost for the state is
shown at II 1-3 cents per round trip.
The length of sections in Clayton
county vary from 4 to II miles. In
addition to maintenance work, the
patrolman has charge of any perma-
nent work, outside of blade grader
work. If possible, one or more patrol
men are rallied to the assistance of
another on any work Of considerable
size, and the patrolmen have some
times done bridge repair work on
township roads in the vicinity of their
patrol.
At the beginning of the season the
board and county engineer 60 over
the roads and lay out the seasons
