IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK

That good work Is being done In

II. g. Ostermann, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made trip Of In

On his journey across the state the
Lincoln highway official was accom-.
panied by D. e. Goodell of Tama, Ia,
state consul Of the Lincoln Highway
association, and Thomas H. MacDon-
cid, J. w. Holden and n. @. Beard of
the-Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state;
splendid program of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings.
Covering the most important develop
ments, Mr.. Ostermann states:
Seventeen miles of the Lincoln
highway in Clinton county have al
ready been graveled with federal aid
funds; applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
and Pottawattamie counties, and sim
liar applications will be filed In the
Immediate future by Linn, Tama, Ben.

A Lincoln highway Seeding mile Is
now under way in Linn county, and
existing arrangements call for the
complete graveling of all the rest of
the Lincoln highway in the county.
In similar fashion the plans in Mar
shall county call for the graveling Of
every foot of the Lincoln highway
from county line to county line. Story,
Boone and Greene counties are prac-
tically all graveled at the present time
and an all-weather road Is reported.
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money than any other county in the
state In grading the Lincoln highway.

State Consul Goodell expect that by

ARMY LIFE PUTS BOYS IN FINE SHAPE

With the American Armies In
France.-Whether he used to be frail
or strong, the doughboy is becoming
one Of the huskiest chaps on this side
Of the line. War agrees with the
American boy, judging from the solid.
healthy-looking specimens you see
trudging up and down the lines and
holding them.
1t is series of surprises you have
with the American army, continually
needing some husky whom you hardly
recognize because back in the States
he was that frail little William
JONES'" Under Uncle Sans care he
has grown shoulders of q football
player, and he marches on pair Of
legs twice as stout as they used to be,
and you couldn't call him William If
you had to-his only name is Bill, now
that he has Joined the heavyweight
class.
Despite the fears of the family for
the boy, 1t has done him good to Join
up In Uncle Sans army. His present
healthy condition Is due to a number
Of causes, not the least of which Is the
physical training he has undergone to
enable him to stand hardship. The chap
who couldn't take gymnasium at high
school because he had weak heart
has become a doughboy who thinks
nothing of marching all night with
pack on his back and then standing
guard next day.
Strong as Blaeksmlths.
Outdoor work almost continually
and being tired enough at the end of
the day to drop down and sleep any
where, has been just the thing to in
ure the boy to hardships. He Is out
not only In summer when 1t is pleas
ant, but in rain and wind, and his life
has made him hard and rugged, and
far better man physically than when
he came to France.
The kind Of food he has had to eat
has been encouraging, too. Good solid

bread, make man-power, and they
have lots of "chow" in the American
army. 1t is served up at regular in

soldiers arms and legs and makes him
have broader, better filled-out Shout

mans army, but lpstead Of the pies

Then the boy keeps pretty good hab-

makes up with sleep In the daylight

mediary line after his resistance had
been broken in his wonderfully strong
battlefront. But Fritz never stopped
on his intermediary line at all and
even his machine gunners did not
tarry In their solid concrete and rail-
road iron blockhouses.
So at eight o'clock in the morning,
when the heavies should have opened
up on Fritz's support line they re-
ceived orders not to fire. When their
commanding officers protested vigor-
ously and demanded the reason Why,
they were advised that If they opened
up on the targets they had chosen
they would be firing In the rear Of
American troops. So the regiment
never fired a shot.
The gunlayers took 1t as a personal
affront on the part Of the doughboys,
who advanced so rapidly they didn't
give the heavies chance to do any
business. They declare openly that

Plans for the permanent marking of
