IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official is Pleased
With Progreas-Each County Pre-
pairing to Aid.

That good work ls being done In
the Improvement Of the Lincoln high
way through Iowa is the assertion Oh
Fl. G. Ostermann, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made a trip OF In
Bpection through the Hawkeye state
and the results were more than salts
factory to him.
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 III. MacDon-
aid, ]. w. Holden and II. G. Beard of
The Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state; a
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
TON and probably Crawford counties"
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.
II a 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.
Field Secretary Ostermann and
State Consul Goodell expect that by

REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and DesirablIlty Of EIlmInat.
Ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out.

In order that the roads may not be
entirely destroyed or put into q condi-
ton requiring complete rehabilitation,
the government ought to impress upon
states, counties, cities, villages and
townships the necessity and desirable
ity of eliminating every mudhole, every
depression, by filling in; 1t should ask
that culverts and bridges be kept In a
reasonable state of repair and 1t should
command that every highway should
regularly and Systematically be
dragged after every rain, that high
spots may be eliminated. low spots
filed and the roads made as smooth
and safe as possible with this tenn
porary scheme to aid, as far as pos
siple, transportation over public. high

HIS QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAR
Philadelphia Man Allowed to Practice
Law Because He Could Make
Excellent Chicken Salad.

There has been radical change In
the method of examining, students for
admission to the bar in Philadelphia
from the practice of a generation or
two ago. Recently the state examin.
ers held an examination, and the stu
dents found that considerable knowl.
edge of both the theory and practice
Of the law was essential.
This, in theory, might always have
been the case, but in practice the ex.
animation was less thorough in the old
days.
There is story of Edward ID. In.
graham, one of the leaders of the Phil.
adelphia bar sixty years ago, who was
an examiner as well as a noted wit.
Indeed, his capacity for jokes was al
most as great as his capacity as law.
yer and as a speaker.
In those days there were moi
enough students to hold a formal ex.
animation, and the appearance, man.
ner and character of the student him.
self had great deal to do with paes'
ing him for admission.
On one occasion a young man, the
son of a wealthy Philadelphia and
known as good liver and more or less
a man about town, appeared before
the lawyer, who was acting as one OF
the examiners.
Mr.. Ingraham knew perfectly well
that the applicant had no Intention OF
practicing law. He merely desired tc
acquire profession in a graceful, easy
manner.
Consequently, Ingraham asked him
only one question.
"Mr. GU" he said, after the appli.
cant had been shivering In apprehen,
sion OF the result, chow do you make
chicken saladf"
Not realizing the purport of the ques.
ton, Mr.. G. answered naturally and
with superior knowledge on the sub.
ject.
Perfectly satisfactory" said Mr..
Ingraham, 81 will sign your certificate
with great pleasure"
But one Gun not pass so easily In
These times, or every cook could be,
come member of the har.

OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rather Dubious on Account of Short
age Of Labor-Deelded Reforms
Should Be Made.

With the shortage Of labor for road
making and the more general use Of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
ly that the roads as they exist will not
be able to withstand the hard usage,
and the outlook is dubious for the au-
tomObile. Many Industrial companies
are making use of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties of
the railroad service and the wear and
tear on the roads thus made use of is
more than they can take care of. This,
more than ever, makes it evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made In the matter of road
building. The makeshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient, and all new road-build-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.

the end of 1918 there will be 1000 sus-
timing members of the Lincoln High
way association in Iowa.
Plans for the permanent marking Of
the route across the state were dis
cussed with the various local officials,
and consuls of the national associa-
ton, and each county in the state is
preparing to aid in financing this prof.
ect to the extent of $500. A start has
been made in this direction, following
the action of Pottawattamie county in
voting $500 for this purpose. to which
the city of Council Bluffs has added
500.

highway Improvement in Iowa was at

where feminity played vital part for
consciousness was long in returning to
him. His first waking glimpse was
however most delightful one. Sitting
by his bedside was charming nurse
who started Immediately to do the
hundred and one comforting, soothing,
wonderful things about bedside that
only woman can do. Treadgold fan
cied he smiled, but his brain was not
sufficiently brisk to be certain of any
thing.
His progress was more rapid after
that FIRST glimpse and he realized that
world with women in 1t was good
place to get back to. His nurses hands
were slim and caressing and her hair
waved softly about her smooth brow.
Treadgold wondered If he would event
ually find himself in love with her.
He was, in fact, drifting in that d.
rectlon when, during a dull afternoon
in the hospital, he heard the trailing
melancholy of voice. Instantly
Treadgold knew that 1t was the same
voice augmented in sweetness and tim
Der that had quickened his letharglc
pulse-far back in America. Hor
America seemed >frightfully distant to
TreadgOld after the smoke and fire Of
battle and the long lapse from con-
sciousness.
He looked eagerly at his nurse.
"Whose voice is that / hear?" he
asked her.
The nurse smiled at his excitement,
scented romance and told him all
she knew.
"Her name is Ida McVicker, and
she is the niece of our staff surgeon.
She was pining away by inches, 1t
seems, in America because she couldn't
do anything when all her brave coun-
trymen were going off to fight"
"But how did she ever get over
here" burst out Treadgold, "from a
cottage with roses"
The nurse smiled again. 1.-THE Or
! ganizer of concert party heard her
singing and thought her voice held
the appeal that our wounded boys
would appreciate and-here it is She
! sings every afternoon and evening and
/ any other time when her voice is need
| ed. She's happy now-happy as a
, lark. It's wonderful what doing lit
1 tie good to others does for oneself"
! added the nurse.
! Tread"old then made a headlong,
! steady dash right into the heart of
world of feminity. He demanded to
! see Ida McVicker then and there.
! When she stood beside him and
! looked with those wistful eyes straight
! into his face deep, happy flush
mounted her cheeks and Treadgold
knew that recognition was there. APP
parently she had not gazed unseeing-
| ~ nor unfeelingly at him when he had
/ daily passed her cottage gate.
Little Sad Eyes," was what she
thought he said by way of greeting,
but she was never quite sure about 1t.
There was so much unexpected emo
ton expressed in the wonderful meet
ing that words didn't really count.
Treadgold had always known that
love would completely swamp him
when it came, and he told Ida so be-
fore many moons had passed over that
region of the world.

NOTICE
To the Mayors and Citizens of the Towns of Arkansas:

To the Mayors and Citizens of
 the Towns of Arkansas:
 Some weeks ago the Arkansas State Council of Defense called the attention of the people of Arkansas to the startling fact that last year 22,00O head of live stock lost their lives on the rail road tracks in Arkansas. result ing in useless waste of 6,OOO,- GOO pounds ot meat, fats and leather. And this at a time when the whole country was denying itself meat in order to conserve food for our soldiers and allies.
 Although the war is over the Council of National Defense is still calling on America to con tinue to conserve if we are to keep our pledge to ship 10000, GOO tons of food to our allies in 1919. For this reason the Ar kansas State Council of Defense i. is still vigorously continuing the campaign to reduce stock losses on railroad tracks.
 Statistics show that above 75 per cent of the stock losses on railroad tracks in Arkansas oc. cur in towns where stock are al lowed to run at large. If every town that has no stock law would pass one and enforce it, it would materially help in reducing this enormous and useless waste of food that takes place in our state every year. We most earnestly recommend to the mayors and citizens of the towns that stock laws be passed.
 Very respectfully.

from the United States can effective
financial aid come. This country has
already extended vast credits to Europe,
and has financed the tremendous waste
of the war. The federal reserve board
has estimated that new European de-
mands amounting. to between three and
four billions Of dollars must be cared
for during the coming year.

this, capital must be forthcoming
Europe may spend most of these bill
