him. Put yourself in his plasee, if you
can, and view it from his standpoint.
before you criticise too severely.
There is one argument / have ex-
pected to see you use, which perhaps
you have overlooked. If as o say
such a road will benefit every farm
thru or by which it passes, from IS
to $25 per acre, you may easily be
able to bring every farmer out in
debt to the public. If, for instance,
the building of this road would benefit
Mr.. Cameron's land to the extent of
say, $40 per acre, that would be
$1,000, h e would owe the county.
The county would take perhaps four
acres of his land, worth $500 and it
would cost, say 500 more to move
fences. That would make $500 the
county would owe him, leaving a
balance of $1,000 due the county on
the transaction. If you could prove
that the benefits would amount to
more, say SIS or 500 per acre, the
balance would be much greater. Of
course I am not advocating this, but
calling your attention to the
possibilities of such a scheme.

Mr.. RartleY's Views.


Editor Star Mirror:-I am some
what surprised at the tone of youl
editorials in recent issues in which
you infer that certain farmers are
trying to hold up the Highway Com
m%issioners, in the matter of damages
for changes in locations of roads,
and at your evident intention to in
timidate them into submission to such
changes. There can be little danger
of the Commissioners being held up
backed as they are by the legal ma
chlnery of the county and other
powerful influences. All they need
to do is to exercise the right of emf
nent domain, condemn his property
and arrive at the proper measure of
in a legal way. It is much
more likely the farmer will be held
up; he will be singled out for attack
and criticism, his motives maligned
and be made to feel it is useless to
defend his property rights, which
the Constitution plainly guarantees
him.
| do not believe any farmer will
intentionally be unreasonable in this
matter, but he looks at it from a
different view point. He has lived
Upon his farm for almost a lifetime.

Boise-Payette valley. In the eastern
counties this crop is only poor to fair
AS mentioned above the week was
very hard on spring wheat. Hot
winds prevailed in many sections and
were very damaging to the wheat
Considerable acreages are being cut
for hay in some localities while in
worse affected districts the crop is
being abandoned. The first cutting of
alfalfa has been harvested generally
in all but the later districts and where
the fields have been well watered the
second crop is coming on rapidly.
Continued dry hot weather had a
most detrimental effect on pastures
and ranges which are burning badly
in many sections. The open range in
the eastern counties is about dried
up but there. is still feed on the
shaded range. Sheep are being
into the higher mountain
range from the less favorable feeding
grounds at lower levels. Streams are
fast drying up, causing a lack OF
stock water on some ranges The fire
hazard is increasing daily. and tour
lists and campers should exercise ex-
treme care in starting fires and be
sure to extinguish all embers before
leaving camp.
Sugar beets made good progress in
most of the beet growing districts,
but in the Idaho Falls section leaf
miners, web worms, and cut worms
are working on the beets and this
with a shortage of irrigation
water is causing deterioration of the
crop. Most cultivated crops did well
but cannery peas in Boundary county
are badly in need of rain.

| The author of the praise OF KeokuR
| reprinted herewith is Anders Vigen, OF
the Berlingske Titende Of Copen'
! hagen, Denmark, who was born in
Aastrup, little village in Jutland, his
father being 'husmand" or small
| farmer. He is thirty-nine years old,
married and has two children.
He was educated In the public
schools and later graduated from the
University Of Copenhagen, an institu-
ton with 1000 students, several hun
dred Of them being women.
In 1905, he became a member Of the
staff Of "Kobenhavn," a daily indie
pendent newspaper of Copenhagen of
about $4,000 ito 10000 circulation.
In 1910, he became editorial writer
of the paper and wrote up TO the pres

domestic politics Of Denmark. He

paper having been one Of the Danish
newspapers most fervent for the
cause of the allies.
Since December /, 1918, he has

conservative paper, one OF the Oldest

Sings Praises of keokuk
WHAT HE SANS.

This translation from the Copen.
hagen "Berlingske Tidende" Is made
by John G. Schneider, formerly Of Den.
mark. and now residing at 429 South
Ninth street. Keokuk.
In letter from America has our
associated editor, Mr. Anders Vigen,
told of the Scandinavian editors
visit in the city of Keokuk, Iowa, and
also of the statue of the great Indian
chief from whom the city got its name.
The above photograph gives very
good idea Of the statue itself, and sur
rounding territory in a corner Of the
greatest and most beautiful park in
the city.
The statue was made by most
promising sculptures Of that city. 1t
pictures proud races free born son,
Chief Keokuk, standing on the bluff
by the Mississippi, and with steady
look he is meeting his fate from the
east, for him and his people defeat,
for the white man victory over the
Mississippi, and farther to the Pacific
coast.
In later years, the American sculp-
tory have given the Indians more OF
that kind of memorials.
A witness that the American ma
tons ideals are open to historic feel
ings and piety, on the foundation OF
the statute, are the Scandinavian
journalists standing together with
their most ideal guides and hosts.
Like the city of Keokuk, they never
will be forgotten.

ators, Beecher, Booth, Bar
rett and Others.
FOR FIFTY SEVEN YEARS
He Has Been tho Barber of Many

For fifty-seven years w. H. Jones
popularity known here as Professor
Jones. has been adding to the appear
ance of three generations Of Keokuh
citizens as tonsorial artist
There are few who remember how
he acquired the title of Professor,
for most of the people who know him
by that name have never known him
by any other. To use his own ex
phantom Of it, he just had 1t attached
to him in the old days when any man
who was especially proficient in any
work was given that appelation. And
judging from his record, it was not
bestowed without merit.
It was back in 1866, that he learned
the trade Since that time he has
not missed as much as a year Of ser
vice in vacations or sickness.
In one old Keokuk family he num-
bers members of the fourth generation
among his customers. In many others
the third generation has grown UP to
the age where much of their time is
spent in the barber chair and in the
entire three generations the family
barber has been almost as much a
recognized institution as the family
residence.
He Shaved President Roosevelt.
During that more than a half CEN
fury. Professor Jones has shaved all
CLASSES Of men from president of the
United States to the poorest day
laborer. Back In 1907 when Roose-
velt made his second trip down the
Mississippi, Professor Jones was
named the official barber to accom-
pany the party down to Memphis.
1t wasn't a matter of bestowing an
honor in choosing barber for the
trip; they wanted man who could
keep the sixty odd notables who were
on the boat looking the part such. as
their constituents expect OF United
States senators and cabinet members
and governors and various other poll
tical lights.
Professor Jones treasures as a
memento of that trip badge which
was presented to him by the president,
and In his home at 1923 Concert street
he has dried boquet of flowers from
n banquet table at st. Louis, which
Roosevelt presented to him.
Then to go back to more remote his
tory. About fifty years ago, when the
famous law suit between Theodore Til
ton and Henry Ward Beecher was the
biggest news the papers had carried
since the close of the civil war, Jones
was just getting well established in
business of his own.
Beecher, Booth and Others.
At the close Of the Tilton-Beecher
episode those two gentlemen faced the
necessity Of retrieving their fortunes
on the lecture platform and both of
them visited Keokuk in the same
year.
4 They both lectured at the old
Chatham Square church on different
dates and they both called on Jones
to make them presentable for the lee
8ture.
In the years when the west was
young and Keokuk used to be one of
the larger cities of the Mississippi
valley, all the greatest actors used to
stop here. Jones can rem ember when
Edwin Booth and Lawrence Bartlett
were his customers.
He can also recount how he cut the
