WAsTrp..snME CONTRACTORS

Paving construction offers the widest
field of opportunity just now for civil
engineers aud contractors. Cities and
many small towns are paving their
streets as never before and every
county In Iowa is to vote on paving
its country roads with about four out
Of FIVE deciding definitely to pave. The
history Sf all other states which have
begun to pave roads is that once be-
gun the only limitation upon the vol
une of work offered is the ability Of
contractors to take 1t on.
The federal governments 100000
600 for paved roads in all the states
Is 20 be matched with like amount
Of local money making more than a
billien available for paving next year
outside of cities and towns, Contractors

In every state are going to be busy at

work They viii re found, of course.
but there Is so much OF It to be done
that new men must enter the business
Of building street paynnents.
Material. too, must be located and
leading machinery installed, When the
state Of California undertook TO spend
fifteen millions for paved roads the
state contracted for the entire output
OF a cement mill and of crushed stone
quaTries. When bids were let the stone
and cement were guaranteed to the
successful contractor at a fixed price.
The counties Of iowa will have more
than fifteen millions TO spend next year
hence the enormous demand for mat
eTizi.
The first few yeafs Of preparation
fer such extensive work are going TO
be years Of high costs, high because
OF current market conditions and high
because with more work offered than
contractors can handle the competition

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Martin Luther,
Is II YOURS7
NOV. 10, 1893.

Martin Luther, the great religious
reforrner and the founder of Luther
anisln, was the son of It poor peasant
OF Germany. He grew up believing
the simple faith Of the peasant class,
that Christ was a stern Judge, the
mother an intercessor, that God was
pleased By visits from shrine TO shrine
and could best be served within con-
vent walls. e..
he studied, at many schools and
universities, begging his a5read from
door to door. Suddenly, oetieging
that he was losing his even Hsoul, he
buried himself in a monastery. He
scourgsd himself and wear,ed the
fathers with confessions of his sins.
FINELY some Of the kinduer, monks
managed TO satisfy him That saliva
ton was possible for him.
Gradually, however, the revolt
against the old teachings began to
grow on his mind. Tho medieval Gus
toms that clung 20 the church in
these days. were attacked by him;
and as the tine was ripe for revoiu-
ton both religious and social IN
character, ne found thousands OF en-
thusiastic followers. A pamphlet OF
his penetrated a convent, and eight
nuns escaped One orthen afterwards

followed discovery that deposed Of

pany had used wires and employees
to circulate propaganda to incite in

ment operation of the wire systems.
The board said it had been ex-

Fix Universal Day
OF Peace Two Months
After Signing Pact

Paris, April 24.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-A clause has beef draft
ed for insertion i'll the peace treaty
fixing the date for the transition to
state of peace, 90 days after the
signing of the treaty.
The purpose of this provision is
to prevent confusion among the
more than 20 belligerant nations,
which might fix different dates
in their various ratifications. Ar
cording to the present plan, each ma
ton will ratify the treaty according
to its own laws, but all will unite
in common date, which will be-
come universal day of peace.
1t is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated pow
er, but not an ally, should sign a
separte treaty of peace with Ger
many. 1t would be the same treaty
as that signed by the allies and
would be signed at the same time as
part of the same ceremony.
