BRITISHER ASTONISHED
Lord Bishop of London Doesn't Un- dcrstand How Prohibition Law Was Passed iu America.

Ames. Iowa, Oct. P-The Right Honorable and Right Rev. Foley Winnington-Ingram, lord bish- op of London, cannot understand how the prohibition law was passed in the United States when every American who goes to England com plains about it.
 The 6S-year old churchman, who visited Iowa State college today at the outset of q six weeks tour of American universities, also express cd his pcrplcHity over several other conditions in this country. He can not understand how such high wages arc paid and yet bring the owners so large a return. Neither can he discern the difference between a re- publican or q democrat.
 Tall and lean, and active enough to play good game of tennis, the churchman's looks and actions belle his age. lie regretted that burns on his right arm prevented him trying the local college courts.

VETERAN CHICKEN
 THIEF IS IN JAIL
But Abe BuZZaGd Protests h.
 nOCelCe to Last

Phoenixyille. Pa Oct 1.-fP}- Protesting his innocence q the lat est charge against him, Abe Bug gard. notorious Welsh mountain chicken thief who has spent 4S of his II years in prison, today was sent 10 jail in default of $500 bail on charges of burglary and carry ing concealed weapons.
 Two companions, Arthur Good bold and Bellfield Jablonski, arrest with Buzzard, were held in similar bail after hearings before Squire Howell The three men were arrest cd Sunday night in the hills of North Coventry township with a wagon load of chickens and auto mobile tires alleged to have been gathered during nights raid on neighboring farms.
 Goodbold and Jablonski made complete confessions today, naming Buzzard as their companion on nocturnal trips to hen roosts and garages. They said they had stolen hundreds of chickens and turkeys and scores of automobile tires. Abe emphatically denied their accus- ations.
 Buzzard, who in his younger days, was the leader of a band of high waymen that for years terrorized the Welsh mountain country in the vicinity Of Reading, was released from the eastern penitentiary in Philadelphia about three years ago after having served a sentence of ten years.

tention throughout his excellent
lecture which was given out in
the open. The Askov band also
gave concert in the afternoon.
At the closing meeting in the
evening many expressed thanks
for the hospitality of the West
Denmark folks and the good
things which had been given
them-things which they could
take along home and live and
dwell upon through their daily
tasks.
Kitten ball was one of the
sports that occupied the atten-
ton of many between lectures.
There was also boating, swim
ming, and horseshoe pitching.
Throughout it was enjoyable
and fruitful. The Askov band
made similar trip to West Den
mark nine years ago, but it is
not likely that another nine
years will lapse before a similar
tour is made.

Jens Paulsen was amongst

TRIP TO WISCONSIN
is MUCH ENJOYED

The community tour to West
Denmark, Wis, Saturday and
Sunday was successful and very
enjoyable one. About 35 cars
were in the lineup. The band
got out and played at Duxbury
Cloverton, Markville, Riverside
Park, as well as nearly all the vii
lagos on Highway No. 35 to West
Denmark. The stop for MONDAY
picnic lunch was made at River
side Park where E. ]. Steinbring,
former Markville business man,
has made excellent camping
grounds. Mr.. and Mrs. Stein
bring displayed fine hospitality
by making and serving free
coffee.
Arriving at West Denmark 4 p.
M, the. band played two marches
and then went to the various
homes to clean up after the dusty
ride. After a good substantial
supper a concert was given on the
banks of the beautiful lake and
in amongst the oaks that have
stood for ages. 1t was ideal
weather and large crowd was
out to hear the concert, several
commenting on the beauties of
the baritone solos which appear
ed in number of the concert
pieces. The round mellow tone
of the baritone ably handled,
sounded pretty and every note
could be distinguished in the
evening air. There was hardly 2
ripple on the lake and. the moon
throwing its mellow rays across
the water added to the beauties.
The local pastor, Marius Krogh,
gave a good plain sermon at the
church Sunday morning. He was
assisted by Rev. Holger Koch of
Nysted, Nebr., at the communion
service. In the afternoon Rev.
P. Rasmussen of Dalum, Alberta,

The 40 varieties of peon es in

holes. Yet the toll companies
claimed their returns were so
small they could not afford re-
pairs.
Imagine a present-day motorist
travelling over one of these roads
and being stopped every two or
three miles by a gate which he
could not pass without paying
a toll.
Compare this with the cost of
travelling on a modern, concrete
paved highway. 1t will surprise
many to learn that our modern
highway is the cheaper of the
two-far cheaper.
A concrete pavement to-day
costs about $4,000 per mile.
Grading, draining, fencing, etc.,
bring the cost of the whole i'm
proved road to about S35, 900 per
mile, the actual cost depending
upon the locality where it is
built and the amount of grading
required. At 6 per cent the
yearly interest charge on this
total cost is $2,1OO. The sum
which must be put aside each
year to replace the pavement at
the end of twenty years is $9O7.
Maintenance may be estimated at
5000 a year. The total yearly
cost of a mile: of modern con-
crete is then $3,207.
If an average of only 500 We
hicles per day passes over the
mile of improved pavement the
cost then is only 1.73 cents per
vehicle per mile. This is but
little more than half what our
ancestors used to pay to travel
the mud and dust and ruts of the
good old days."

The Askov Hardware Co. re-
ceived a carload of Chevrolets
this morning-two coaches and
one landou sedan.
Viggo and Miss Valborg Miller
were among the many who &C
companied the Askov band on
their tour to West Denmark, Wis.
Saturday, and the latter remained
there for weeks visit with rela-
tives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Eckberg and
Mrs. Louis Olsen and daughter,

luth; Mrs. Eckberg going up for
medical attention. She has not
been in good health the past few
months.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl E. Sorensen,
their little girl, Albert and Miss
Sina Sorensen, and Mrs. Peter
Jorgensen drove to Minneapolis
Tuesday, returning home We'd

not been feeling well of late, and
other members of the party, were
there for medical attention.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hyldahl of
Chicago, and Mr.. and Mrs. Dirks
of St. Paul, stopped off here Mon
day on their way to northern
Minnesota to spend their vaca-
ton. Mr.. Hyldahl is a cousin of
Chr. Hyldahl and Mrs. Hyldahl
is a cousin of C. Flint. Mr..
Dirks is employed at the State
Auditors office.
Shooting fire crackers on the
streets during evening and nights
has been INDUCED in by few of
late and citizens are complaining.
Fire crackers are meant for the
18th of July and to be used on
that day only. Mayor A. Grave
sen says the practice must be
stopped or the boys will find
themselves in the hands of the
law. Disturbing the peace is
punishable by law.
The free open air movies put
on by Askov's business men every
Wednesday evening drew large
crowd last night. Autos were
parked all over town and it is
estimated that the crowd was
between 800 and 900. The local
band was also out last night and
played several selections before
the movies were flashed on the
screen. Several songs were play
ed in which the audience joined
and sang.

HOW GOOD WERE THE
GOOD OLD DAYS.?
(FrOm the Maine MOtOrist)


Many are want to sigh for the
simplicity and economy of the
good old days.
They see the nation headed
for the bow-wows on a wave of
extravagant public expenditures,
not realizing that for many of
our superior advantages we pay
far less-partly because there
are more of us than our ances-
tors paid for ways that were far
from being as pleasant or con-
tributing as much to the happi-
ness and fullness of life.
Take our public roads, flor ex-
ample. In the first years after
the colonies became a republic,
funds were so meager and the
people so poor that the common
wealth could not assume the bur-
den of road building. Instead
private companies were formed
to build and maintain turnpikes
for which service they were
authorized to charge a toll for
the use of the road.
On June ID, 1896, the first turn
pike company in New Hamp-
shire was organized. A schedule
of tolls running from one cent
per mile for every ten sheep or
hogs up to three cents per mile
for. wagons, stages, private car
riages and like conveyances
drawn by horses was legally per-
mitted the company.
These old roads were very
poor. Ruts were left unsmoothed;
bridges sagged and fell in; We
hicles were mired in the mud
