A "PEPTIMIST."

An optimist is a man who believes
that the seed he plants in the garden
will grow and look as good as the
pictures on the package.
A pessimist stands beneath the
tree of prosperity and growls when
the fruit falls on his head
A "peptimist" is the happy medi-
UNI between these two.
He doesn't believe with the opti-
mist, that the seeds will produce
somthing equal to the picture on the
package-but he does believe they
will grow and bring some return for
his labor
Should the fruit from the tree of
pros. Gritty fall on his head, he rubs
the bump and grabs the fruit.
When the weather reports say
"fair and warmer" he believes it,
and carries his umbrella.
Like the optimist, he sees the
bright side of things, and goes ahead
but he also sees the dark side and
prepares to meet it.
And herein lies his success--look-
ing not alone on the dark side, but
seeing both sides clearly--he weigh:
each situation carefully and is pre-
pared. Are you a peptimist.

ed-Waukon Merchant Spends
$4,000 to Bring His Family
From Bleeding Russia

Waukon, Iowa-Mrs. Sarah Ter
ry and family, who arrived in Wau-
kon from Russia last week, put a
neat one over on the customs officials
at the point of embarkation from
Russia, when they successfully snug
gled a considerable sum of Russian
money out with them. Their be-
longings were carefully examined be-
fore their departure, but the gold
coins, hidden in the heels of their
shoes, were overlooked. In fact, they
could not have been discovered with
out tearing the shoes apart, for the
coins were built into the shoes by
shoemaker from their home town
who chanced to be in Warsaw during
the Terry family's prolonged stay
there while their transportation mat
ters were being cleared up. The
shoemaker left holes large enough to
accommodate the money and after
carefully packing the coins in cot
ton in the holes, carefully finished off
the heels so that no sign of the fraud
was evident. Last Sunday one of
the shoes was opened by Mrs. Terry
and was found to contain four ten
ruble pieces and one five ruble piece.
She divided up the coins among her
sons-in-law and brother in law
Louis Terry. The exact amount of
smuggled money is not known as

been opened. The immigrants are

Controversy Over Paving

The old, old controversy between
experienced highway engineers-who
prefer open specifications for paving
and the promoters of patented paw
ing is on before the county board at
Minneapolis where. the board is con-
sidering bitulithic paving at a total
cost of 90 more on one road
than concrete and both the state and
federal engineers prefer concrete.
Bitulithic is special process for
mixing asphaltic concrete for the
wearing suface. 1t is controlled
product with a controlled price.
When experienced engineers want a
wearing surface on a concrete base
they specify asphaltic concrete on
open specifications and Obtain the
equivalent of bitulithic at a price
free from control by anyone.
In this case the United States gov
ernment engineer has notified the
county board at Minneapolis that the
federal government will go 50-5C
only on the cost of concrete and that
the county must pay all of the extra
cost if it's board prefers bitulithic
The state engineer recommends con.
crete because he prefers not to have
the bitulithic wearing surface tc re-
new and maintain. -Marshalltowr
