Leo County VIII Have Opportunity
October Z to Vote Itself Out OF
the Mud on tho Roads
Proposition.
CAMP AIGN is CONDUCTED
People are Being Shown Where tho
Project VIII be of Benefit to
Everyone Con.
cerned.

Lee county will vote on the ques-
ton of hard surfacing its primary
road system October Z. Des Moines
county last week voted itself out OF
the mud and Lee is expected to fol
low suit when the election is held
next month. Campaigns Of education
are being conducted through the
county by various committees and
sentiment in Keokuk and Fort Madi-
son is said to be Overwhelmingly
favorable to the hard SURFACE idea.
Twenty-three of the thirty-nne
counties in the northern part Of the
state have voted yes" with big MT
jorities. Funds for the Improvement
of the roads come from the motor
vehicle license, federal aid and from
an assessment that cannot exceed
four percent of the value of the land
within a mile and a half of the paved
road.
Unless the vote is favorable at
this coming election no money from
the county's allotment can be used
for hard surfacing next year me
money cannot be used on any other
roads, either.
The only question on which the
vote is taken next month IS wnetner
Lee county's part of the money al
ready available shall be used on Lee
county roads for hard surracrng, OF
whether Lees share shall be used
elsewhere for two years, with the
possibility OF the next regrsrarure
providing for redistribution OF
funds. This would mean that unless
the vote is favorable, Lee county
would have to wait another two years
before ANYTHING could be done.

In building q ship it is necessary
to select site that slopes to the wa
ter. One that is neither too steep or
not step enough. The ship is built
on land and not over water as some
people who never saw one under con-
struction might suppose.
The first job to be done is to take
the plans to the mold loft and have
-molds, or patterns made Of all the
parts. The mold loft is a large room
with a clean, smooth floor on which
the lines of the ships are laid off ac-
tual size from the plans. Thin strips
Of wood or heavy paper are used to
make exact patterns Of these lines
They are used to lay Of fthe material
so that when it is cut it will fit in its
place.
1t is necessary to have building
ways or heavy timbers bedded in the
ground or fastened to piling driven In
the ground to support the weight of
the ship that is to be built.

HALF A CENTURY AGO.

Just half of century ago
How much about it do you know?
Dad took his blue-back speller to
school,
And every teacher was fool.
School run from six till six,
And those living at distance were i'll
a fix.
If a boy didn't get his lessons we'll,
He was whipped like hell.
If grown-up girl in her lessons made
a mistake,
She was kept in an hour or two late;
For no one then thought Of any harm,
And it caused no alarm.
Teachers wives were all blind,
And patrons thought all teachers were
the right kind.
When they learned to read and write,
They were cheered with humors de-
light.
And if they could add, substract and
= 4.-.diYide,
They were classed with the worlds
high tide.
1t was only fifty years ago,
| suppose you all know;
When people were forced to marry of
even years,
Although it caused the shedding of
many tears.
Yes, they We're matched like the horse,
Regardless of happiness, or remorse.
And if a girl received attention from
a married man,
The public eyed her maneuvers did
not scan,
And she felt not the shame of her dis
grace,
AS she the downward road did chase.
1t was just fifty years ago,
AS you all well know;
When folks meddled with others
affairs,
And there were good many liars
1t was only fifty years ago.,
AS the old folks all know,
When there were no stoves,
And only plain cornbread loaves,
And there We're no sewing machines,
And not any tamberines,
Dwelling houses were all small,
For both fat and the tall.
They had only crude railroad train,
And had neve~ thought of our new
airplanes.
They never saw an automobile,
And only danced the old-fashioned
"reel."
They had no riding plows,.
And very few thoroughbred Fs
They hadn't much use for a decor,
And devilish sight less for a
knocker.

THEDA BARA COMING
AS AN IRISH COLLEEN.

After the war comes peace.
After the storm comes sunshine.
After the Winter comes Spring.
After 200 miles of sin IN him,
comes Kathleen Mavourneen."
Theda Bara, who vampired her
wav through two hundred miles OF
motion pictures, has suffered change
of heart and will be seen at the Lyric
Theatre on Saturday, October IL, as
the heroine of the sweetest Irish love
story ever told. This is Kathleen
Mavourneen," big William Fox
special written and directed by
Charles j. Brabin, who was inspired
by the old poem of the same name
by Mrs. Julia Crawford, the Irish
poetress.
Miss Bara's new role is one of sweet
simplicity. 1t is said to be the most
effective thing she has ever done
and her past performances include a
long list of courtesans such as Cleo
patra," "DuBarry", Carmen" Cam
ille", "The Darling of Paris" 1.-The
She Devils" and "Salome."

blocks which serve the same purpose
as piers under house and on which
the keel rests, keel blocks they are
called because the keel rests on them
and the ship is balanced during con-
struction.
AS the work proceeds it is necessary
to put shores or props under each side
of the ship to keep it from turning
over. These shores must be so placed
that they may be taken away one or
two at time and the others will hold
the ship until they are replaced. 1t
is sometimes necessary to do this in
order to do the work.
Some means of raising the heavy
parts to place must be provided for.
In small light work a gin pole, that
is about pole or timber of sufficient
length placed on end and held there
with guy ropes or cables is sufficient
with a block and fall. But in large
work it is necessary to have cranes
either stationary or travelling that are
capable of lifting several tons.
To get the ship in the water after
it is built it is necessary to build
track or way-something like a
railroad track under the ship. "Cradle
way" it is sometimes called. This
way must extend down into the wa
ter deep enough to float the ship, and
