The county plan,. his statement

The county plan, his statement
says, is resulting in disconnected
sections of pavement. Frequently
these are located on relatively un-
important reads, while long
stretches of important cross-state
thoroughfares will not be paved
for number of years under the
county system. ..
The Iowa highway commission
can legally step in and pave these
gaps with state funds, but the gov
ernor holds that it would be un-
fair to GO into counties which have
failed to vote bonds, and use state
funds to give the advantages of
paved roads to counties which have
not assumed any of the obligations.
"The more I study the problem,
the more I am convinced we should
adopt a state bond issue and get
enough funds to complete the
program for the whole state as
quickly as the work can be done,
consistent with economy and effic-
iency," he said. "The weakness of
county unit basis of issuing bonds
is the fact that it will not hasten
the completion date for the entire
system, for the reason that you
cannot get all the counties to vote
said bonds at the same time"

COMMUNITY SUICIDE

One of the rstrangest phenomena witnessed in
most towns and small cities is the apparent eager
ness with which many otherwise good citizens con-
tribute to the tendency to commit community sui
eide
These citizens will often show uncommon zeal
in boosting any movement to obtain civic improve
ments, to promote the location of industries, to
better educational facilities, and Yet
many of these same proud boosters will deliberately
engage in a practice which nulfes all their other
wise laudable efforts and then they wonder why
their town doesn't go ahead.
We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away
from home which is largely responsible for the fail
ure of many communities to make the progress
which their natural advantages should make possible.
The money that ought to be kept at home for the
expansion of local trade and industry is sent away
to distant Cities never to return, through the in
difference or thoughtlessness of the very persons
who should set example of local pride and loyalty
A trifling saving here and there, usually more
imaginary than real, is sufficient to the
age citizen to forget his duty to his community and
to himself, which if performed would mean more
in the direction of local prosperity than all his other
boosting efforts put together.
Why boost in one direction, while committing
community suicide in another?

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS

The celebration of December rs in memory OF
the birth of Christ dates from the fifth century, be-
fore which time it observed conformity with the
feast of the Epiphany on January 6.
Inasmuch as the exact date of Christs birth, or
the year, is unknown the annual observance is
in commemoration of the event rather than as the
anniversary of its actual occurrence.
The Christmas tree, now an almost universe!
SYMBOL is derived from the Egyptian use of a palm
branch of twelve shoots to signify the completed
year, a custom which prevailed long before the
Christian It's present significance is by some
thought to have originated in Germany.
The use of evergreen decorations, particularly
istletoe, has been observed since the time of the
Druids In the Middle Ages the festivities incident
to Christmas were marked by wildly hilarious pro-
ceedings. These called forth circumstances from
church authorities, who deplored the tendency to
stress the festive rather than the serious significance
of the Christmas season.
The mythical Santa Claus has been known by
many names-Kris Kringle, St. Nicholas, Knecht
Ruprecht, Robin Goodfellow, and others. In Ger
many an ugly hunchbacked dwarf known as Gram
pus was supposed to carry off naughty children in
stead of rewarding them with presents
Although it draws its symbolism from many
ces, both Christian and pagan, Christmas remains
of the most important and widely observed festivals
of the year-a season of Peace on Earth; Good Will
Toward Men,"

Highway Bond Election
In Iowa Next Year
Governor Hammill Endorses Pro-
posed $10O,00O,O0O Issues
May Call Special Session

There was time when Mime
sofa had the best and Iowa the
worst roads in the northwest. But
Iowa is taking rapid steps which
will bring it far ahead of the
North Star state. Fifty-three
counties have voted total of $780,
100000 in highway bonds. Now
Governor Hammill has come out
with a public statement indorsing
a $100,000,000 state bond issue.
The governor will call special
session only if a working majority
of both houses pledge themselves
to vote to submit the question and
agree not to take up any other
business. Sufficient pledges to
pass the bond bill are already at
hand, John F. D. Aue of Burling-
ton, president of the Iowa Good
Roads association, says. "The gov
ernor's Joining the bond issue cause
settles the matter" he said. "The
bonds will now he voted and Iowa
will shortly be paved better than
any state in the union"
In a statement issued last week
Governor Hammill says that the
county bond issues insure a sub
stantial construction program in
1928 and 1929, but if vote on the
state bond bill is postponed until
1880, there would be a break in
the construction program. It is
not question of using current
funds against bond issues, but a
question of state versus county
bond issues.
County bonds bearing A Ia per
cent interest are selling at par,
while A per cent Illinois state
highway bonds are selling at a
premium which brings the inter-
est to 80, a saving of .35 per
cent on state bonds, he points out.
Some of the county bonds issued
at higher rates, up to 5 per cent,
could be taken up, effecting fur
Their saving in interest.

signs of a rapid increase.
