WORK ON COUNTY
ROAD STARTS
OFF WITH BANG

Road work is getting well started
in the county with several jobs in
progress at present.
Rock is being paced on the Lam
caster-Potosi road south of where the
work left off last year. At present
several of the worst spots are covered
and by the middle of the summer the
road should be in permanent shape
Crushing has begun on the Hackett
Improvement The work will start
where the present hard surface ends
and proceed four miles west toward
Bloomington. Three miles of gap are
left to be probably will be
next year.
Work starts soon on surfacing job
between Bloomington and S. T. L. 10
via Patch Grove. BY fall Blooming
ton people desiring to motor east can
snap their fingers and crank up when
it rains. They will have hard road
outlet either east or west.
$4,000 has been appropriated to put
in hard surface between Bagley and
Bloomington and work will start soon.
This will connect Bloomington and
Bagley completely with hard surface.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that road work goes on about as rap
idly and extensively under the coun-
ty aid plan as it would have under the
plan proposed at the county board in
November and voted down. The diff
ference is that the county aid plan
starts from nowhere and ends no.
where, leaving a succession of gaps to
be filled in. Considerably more money
has been applied for so far this year
under the county aid plan than was
asked for under the Metcalf plan so
calmly defeated on the grounds of
economy last fall.

What "Kiwanis" Means.

"Kiwanis'' in the indian sense
meant honest trading" In the
broad social sense now used by the
white man it means Build Together"
Lived up to and with the absence of
personal motive, clique aggrand1ze-
ment or selfish power the Kiwanis
can do much Men joining the XII
wants declare themselves to be inn
bued with these high principles.
They ask no favors, offices nor priv
ileges They pledge themselves to do
something for the community they
live in and consider themselves we'll
repaid if that something be we'll done.
Man has two sides to his nature.
One side is a selfish side that works
for personal ends. 1t is a close, cal
culating, grasping side. This side is
Jealous, suspicious and inclined to be
vindictive. We all have it.
But the other side is our fine side.
We all have that too. Self is swept
aside in a desire to be of benefit to
the world and make it better, safer
and brighter as we pass along
The last side is what the K1wanls
tries to bring out. Today it has 1,zOO
clubs and $4,000 members in the U.
S. "a. and Canada. The club stands
for cooperation to bring about COM
munity betterment Lancaster is now
a part of this movement.

Two Sides to
Drainage Problem.

While the Herald has willingly as
sisted in the movement to prevent the
conversion of the Winnishiek bottoms
to farm lands we can see two sides
to the matter
The owners are taxed for their
property. While we agree that wild
life has it's claim on us we must con-
cede that river swamp lands pay no
particular revenue. There is consid-
cradle trapping and fishing in the bot
toms but it is problematical if the
owners themselves benefit by these
practices. More likely various tres
passers receive all the benefit.
The point is this: If the state steps
in and says "you shall do this and
YOU shall not do that with your
property" the owner is up a stump.
He is compelled to pay taxes but may
not take such steps as he sees tit to
make his property productive to him.
The plain fact is that lands 1mmed-
lately contiguous to large stream
like the Mississippi should never
have passed out of Uncle Sans hands.
They are part of the drainage bas-
in and belong as such. Now that the
government has given these LANDS
away for a song it will likely have to
buy them back at fancy price ana
there seems no other way around It.

Fairy Tale
NARY GRAHAM BONNER
MRS. cows STORY

"a very strange thing happened not
long ago." said Mrs. Cow.
She chewed her cud for moment
or two, then swished her tail and
whisked an annoying fly off and looked
about her.
Il heard this story from one of the
children who had been visiting at the
seashore. She didn't tell it to me but
she told the other children about it
and I was listening.
GAS / said, she had been visiting at
the seashore.
"She told about the ocean and the
swimming and the sailing.
"She told about the castles which
they built in the sand and of houses
made of sand which the ocean came
and washed away.
Il thought 1t rather rude Of the
ocean but then / suppose the ocean
isn't so very mannerly. Anyway she
didn't seem to mind.
"But she said that one day they
took a drive and they drove along a
road which went back little way
into the country.
Eat the aeashore she said there
were no country things at all; IT was
just a little seashore place with an
enormous ocean and lot of sand as
far as could make out from her de-
scrlption.
THE ocean at times became very
rough and there were some bad storms
but she seemed to like 1t though /
am sure / wouldn't.
"She didn't speak of pastures or
meadows or fields or streams
"The ocean, it seems is great deal
larger than this stream of ours near
by. ! heard her say that.
at made me think | wouldn't like
the ocean, as have said. Or, rather.
I should say I wouldn't like to live
where she went a-visiting.
"But upon the day she went for this
drive she spoke about they passed by

were some hens, chickens, roosters

hats of this type have success assured.
The cloche and the new high crowns
In some instances formed compro-
mise, in that the tall crown with bon
netlike brlm is noted among early ar
rivals. This is especially true of the
newer felt shapes.
Apropos of midsummer days is the
white felt chapeau, which is so clever
ly designed with the modish high
crown. A very pretty model is bound
with silver ribbon, with the same en-
circllng the crown and tied In perky
little bow just over the narrow cloche
brim. These popular white felts are
alike fashionable in extreme simplicity
or Ornate with applique Of handmade
white crepe flowers combined with

SELF-MADE HAPPINESS

WHATEVER it may be with re-
gard to your bonny-faced friends,
their content and easy conscience, the
idea that you cannot be as happy and
carefree as they, is usually mislead-
Ing.
To make ones self happy ought to
be ones chief purpose In life, quite
apart from the thought of wealth or
station. There is no sense in going
around with sour faces, hard-drawn
lips and creased foreheads.
Why carry gloom about with you,
when it lies within your natural power
to diffuse sunshine among others, and
bask in sunshine yourself?
The habitual crouch, the man and
woman who are continually finding
fault with the weather, imagining ills
and seeking every opportunity they
can conjure up to air their grievances,
are not adopts at making friends or
keeping them.
They have no passionate kindness,
no essence of love, no magnetic quail
ties of heart or soul, so they run mad,
and in their frenzies become menace
to their intimates and all the world.
They may tell US that happiness can
not be self-made, yet they belle this
affirmation by exhibiting their ability
to make themselves miserable.
If this same force were exercised as
1T should be, it would be found equal
ny capable of producing geniality,
gladness, animation, hopefulness and
high spirits.
And herein is the evidence that
everybody has the substance within
him to create his own happiness.
That we mortals should waste our
years in ignorance of this patent truth

THE blouse seems to be the modes
a special object of elaboration. Every
advance fashion display assigns to the
separate blouse prominent part in its
program. OF every color and varied
design, from long tunic to fitted hip
band effect, embroidered, beaded, hand
painted, forgetting not insets of tucks
and plaits, ornateness is the word
when it comes to the fashionable
blouse types. OF course strictly tail
ored ones serve practical need, but
the costume blouse grows more fanci-
full as the autumn season advances.
Favorite blouse modes trace their
origin to peasant ancestry. Their long
full sleeves gather in at the wrist, as

FOR OLD
SAKE'S SAKE
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

TOR old sake's sake, when far asun-
- der,
A thought shall leap from heart to
heart,
We suddenly shall stop and wonder,
For old sake's sake, when years
apart,
Shall wonder how the others faring,
What world we live In, path we take,
And find ourselves a little caring,
A little yet, for old sake's sake.
For old sake's sake in some December
We still recall the skies of May;
Minds may forget but hearts remember
Each lovely hour, each golden day.
We thought it all forgot forever,
New worlds we find. new paths we
make,
And then, some day, we find we never
Can quite forget, for old sake's
sake.
New lands, new loves, new plans, new
places,
New roads to travel, work to do,
New hopes, new dreams, new friends,
new faces,
New griefs that come to me and
you.
Then comes a memory beguiling,
Then comes perhaps a little ache
Some tender thought that starts us
smiling,
Yet brings sigh. for old sake's
sake.

ELABORATE BLOUSE TYPES;
VOGUE FOR HIGH CROWNS

blouses are deliberately braided and
embroidered.
High crowns are "it," according
to advance models. The new tall
crowns may or may not be generally
becoming, but they at least bear the
welcome message of something differ
ent" from the little cloche which has
so persistently held the center of the
stage these many seasons past. Then,
too, since Madame Mode declares these
high squarelike position crowns to be
ultra-smart, we bow to her authority,
for to be out of style, who would dare?
One of the earliest high-crown ar
rivals eminentiy suited to immediate
wear, is the smart white felt shown at
the top in the group here pictured. 1t
