The Horn 2 Owned and Home Managed Store rt Telephone 42 & From Tuesday's Laj;y The newly constructed highway leading from the eastern end of the new traffic bridge over the Missouri river to Pacific Junction and Glen wood was underway today in full force. The contractors on the work have secured the gravel from the Bell gravel pits north of this city and I the gravel is being conveyed in trucks to the scene of activity and spread alontr the highway to give it a hard surface and to provide an all wea ther road from this city to Glenwood and ioining the paved highway at that place. The road has been graded up in fine shape by the Iowa and Mills county authorities and is well up above any possible overflows of the river and in the construction of the new road all possible curves and turns have been avoided, making it a fine straight piece of road from the bridge until the turn into Paci fic Junction. The contract for the work from Glenwood to Pacific Junction is be ing let and assures by the coming of winter that this road will be up in the very best of shape and open for travel at all times and under all conditions. The completion of the gravel will be a great boon for the Iowa farm ers and stock raisers as it gives them the nearest and best route into the great stock markets and wholesale centers of Omaha with their cattle, hogs and produce.

People want good mer chandise and are willing to pay for it." Business conditions are good in :he vicinity of Toledo, la., according to Karl Kupka and Reuben Shaw. "We can't complain," they stated. "A good part of our trade comes from farmers and they are in the market for" every thing the need. Crops look good in Iowa."

Organize Demo cratic Club in Rock Bluffs Albert Wheeler Named as President and Mrs. E. B. Hutchison as Secretary of Club The democratic voters of East Rock Bluff Precinct last night or ganized a club composed of prac tically a hundred members. The school house was filled to its seat ing capacity. County Chairman, D. O. Dwyer presided and made the prin ciple address after which the organi zation was perfected by selecting the following officers: Albert Wheeler, President. Mrs. Joe Campbell, First Vice President. Mrs. Fred Campbell, Second Vice President. Mrs. E. B. Hutchinson, Secretary. Mike Kaffenberger, Treasurer. A half dozen or more members were called on for short talks and responded enthusiastically for the cause. The trend of the speaking being that extravagence and unnecessnry expenditure of public funds must be stopped in order that there be re duction in taxes in the state and throughout the nation. The club adopted permanent rules and regulations and will continue from year to year with monthly meetings at which will be discussed the various bills presented to the legislature and such action taken thereon as might meet the approva1 cf a club. These organizations are bringing the control of governmental affairs closer to the people where they belong and if every precinct in the county and throughout the state would ororanize such as now exists In Eight Mile Grove and East Rock Bluff precincts, government would then be functioning by the will of the peonle. Other precincts are now considering the formation of similar clubs and with the suc cess already attained there is no doubt, but it is only a question of time until the entire county i? thoroughly organized.
