months at least. This is a very nice
country but everything seems SO
queer. OF course, trey. talk the
English language but fifty use a
brogue which sounds SO funny. They
call us Yanks. 1t is a very rough
country, mountains all around us
and they are covered with snow the
year round. We can look any direc-
ton and see snow on the mountain
tops and down in the valleys they
are farming, it is s. warm, ! said

it is really, warm for this country:

days are awfuily long but before

Locating the Permanent Roads.

Jasper county is practically agreed
that it will build some miles OF per-
manent road but a row is on over
the location. One faction wants the
road to run between Newton and
Monroe, another wants it between
fighting over it., according to reports
from the seat of war.
incidentally the row raised over
locations demonstrates how valuable
to a community a permanent road is
considered, but rows rarely settle
anything and often spill all the beans
in the pot. That's the danger OF a
real row V e the location Of perma-
nent roadWays.
Naturally each community wants
the road and if it is up to date and
alive will try for it but it should be
a contest and not a row. In the end
if conducted in good temper and
decently the contest will probably
locate the road to the best advantage
of the most people and the road Will
be built. 1t is better to have ten
than none at all, even if it doesn't
run by our own farms and into our
own villages. There's another year
and more road a comm.
Counties looking toward road I'M
provement and persons interested in
better roads should foreclose on the
danger that an actual row may de-
feat the main purpose of making the
road. The stretch of permanent road
is the first thing to be considered,
next the location. When the loca-
ton is finally settled then turn in
and build it and next year build an
other and a few years hence when
we have a system of decent roads
available to all parts of the county
congratulate ourselves that we went
about this important movement to-
ward a greater prosperity and com,
sense and in a broad and systematic
fashion. ;,
Contest the locations but don't
fight over h e m.-Marshalltown

BOOKS NEEDED DESPITE RAPID
TROOP RETURN.
Replacement of Books on Transports
Necessary Throughout Summer
Because of Heavy Losses.

Even if the return of all American
troops now in France is accomplish
ed by fall, in accordance with recent
reports, it is stated by the American
Library Association thai half a mil
lion books must be added to
navy and marine corps.
The additional books will be need
ed chiefly for returning troop trans
ports, which can not be supplied
from the stock of books which has
been sent overseas.
ceiving, books now in France are
deteriorating very rapidly. When
the fighting stopped the use of books
increased enormously and has con-
tinued to grow in volume. The
men have little to do to occupy a
great amount of leisure time. Read
ing is one of the most substantial
the men in the present situation in
France and the use Of books and
magazines is being encouraged by
officers everywhere as a mean Of
offering competition to the wine
shops and counteracting the ten
dency to gambling.
Wholesome, exciting fiction is the
sort which the men read. most reaA-
lily under the conditions now exist
ing overseas. Good books Of this
kind are passed from man to man
and soon go to pieces through sheer
handling. It is necessary for the
overseas organization of the A.. L..
A. to make constant requirements
OF these worn out volumes. AS a
result, the actual stock of available
books in France dwindles steadily
and none can be spared to put
aboard transports for the homecom-
ing troops.
Every transport is fitted out with
a library in the American port
where it docks. The demand for
books aboard ship has been sc great
that these Libraries are now being
increased to the ratio of a book for
every a 1t is necessary also
that the book collection be renewed
at the end of each trip, as frequent
~ a large number of volumes dis
appear in the course of the voyage.

His Father.

Mr.. Charles McKern, Leon, Iowa.
Dear Sir: 1t is believed that in a
very short time the 88th division
will leave France and. sail for home.
Very soon arfter arrival of the di-
vision in the United States your
soldier will receive his honorable
discharge and return to you.
He is bringing back many ms
he has acquired or developed in the
military service. The army has
done everything it could to make
him strong, fine, self reliant, yet self
controlled. 1t returns him to you a
better man.
You have been an important mem
ment and enthusiasm which helped
to make him and us all better Q
diers. You can now be a great help
in keeping alive the good qualities
he is bringing back from the army,
in making him as good a citizen as
he has been a soldier. -
He will be permitted to wear ms
ticles of his equipment as remem-
ORANGES of his service.
The government will permit him
to keep up for the benefit of his
family, his insurance at the very low
rate he is now paying,
His return to civil life will bring
new problems for you both to solve;
The Qualities he brings back will
help you now as your encouragement
helDed him while away and in your
hands and his rests the future of our
country.
AS his commanding officer I am
proud of him. He has done his duty
we'll. l and his comrades will bid
him good bye after he returns home.
That spot in a mans heart no other
place can fill. n
Sincerely yours.
