That Southern Route
After quoting the Register and
Leader's account of the miraculous
escape of the repair car of the
Souttf-Western Automobile^ Asso
ciation in its run from Atlantic to
Des Moines by being run over by a
fast train on the Rock Island weBt
of Earlham Tuesday of last week,
the Guthrian's goes on to trutbtully
remark, "No such an accident as
this can befall the tourists over the
River to River Road, as the road
leaves the Rock Island at Atlantic
and only crosses two slightly used
branches until Adel is reached. The
tourist who is seeking safety and
security from being ran down by
the railway cars and a better road
will still continue to travel over the
River to River Road in spite of the
five miles difference in length."

Farms Out Of Roads
"Gov. Carroli of Iowa proposes to
lop off ten feet from each side of the
highway of that state and turnj it
over to corn growing. He thinks that
a road very rarely needs to be more
than 40 jeet wide for the service of the
public and that anything wider than
thot is simply so much land given ov
er to weeds. The Iowa law does not
compel the Iayicg out of roads 60 feet
wide, although that is generally the
custom. There are over 100,000 miles
of roads in this single state of Iowa,
and it is a fact that they are mainly
neglected. There are over 800,000
acres of land belonging to the high
ways, aud if the peoyle resume the
cultivotion of 13 they will have added
a good deal over 200,000 acres to food
production. The annual net revenue
per acre in Iowa is set down at $15, a
very modest estimate, but this would
make the income of the restored land
at least $1,000,000.
Wje believe that Gov. Carroll's pro
position is all right, and that it stands
good for everp state in the Union,"
says the Independent. "We are con
firmed in this by the correspondence
called oui by bur own article advoca
ting road economics. There is no rea
son why there should be broad strips
of waste land running in every direc
tion across our states. The roads that
we do have should be better made,
and Whatever land belongs to the pub
lic on either side of the road should be
made garden like. At present the
weed breeding strips called roads area
nuisance and preventive to good farm
ing. '^hey sow dawn adjacent lands,
and make flue cropping more difficult.
The tfbrst weees we have to contend
have mainly traveled across the oonn
try by way of tne roads. But with
proper cultivation these same land
strips could be made beneficent mo
dels of culture and beauty." Gov.
Carroll talks It tie a farmer, and his
proposition stands in with the econo
mics, of the coming civilization:
Larger crops, no waste land, no weed
breeding roads. "A- large party of
agree with their governor ia

I have some customers for Audu

UNIQUE GAME OF SALMAGUNDI
Differs From Other Progressive
Games in That,Different One Is
Played at Each Table.
•••i-'i.i' tjUiiiiT-v
Of all progressive games none is
more popular than this. As In all
others, a small table is provided for
every four players, but Salmagundi is
distinguished from other games in
that a different gante is played at
each table.
Games of cards may be chosen, if
preferred, such as hearts, euchre, five
hundred, sniff, etc., or such games as
domlnos, jack straws, lotto, helma,
pit, fish-poles. The rules for playing
these are supplied with the game
when purchased. There is no rule
against such games as "Patent Medi
cines," "Menagerie," etc., which cer
tainly contribute to a merry uproar.
The winners progress at sound of
the signal given at the head table,
and play a new game. The losers
keep their places and must play the
same game over again.
The introduction of variety adds to
the pleasure, and as there is a change
of partners at each "progression,"
everybody meets everybody else.
When every couple has made the
round of the tables and played all
the games, the. .pcia&s are Awarded
and refreshments served.
The Ultimate Test Of Good Ad
vertising Is Desire.
Adverti»ing.is the science of creating
a new want or making the
other fellow
•feel about the particular article as you
feel abotft it yourself. A sale does not
necessarily take place in your store, or
in a man'6 pocketbook. It must first
be consummated in your prospective
customer's mind before the money
passes over your counter into your cash
till.
Good advertising is the seience of
dealing in specifics, rather than in
generalities. Tell them in your copy
in specific understandable terms just
what you want the public to know
about the article that you are endeavor
ing to sell. The avoiding of technical
expressions and big words is absolute
ly necessary.—S. C. Dodds.
