Co. Phone 274 Plans for 396 roadside parks in Iowa, four in each county, to 'be constructed the Civilian Conservation Corps camps was announced on Tuesday by Leroy.C. Perkins, director of the 16 camps in the state. Support of the American Legion has been asked, Perkins said. He explained that the ultimate goal is to landscape and Improve tracts of four to Ave acres, lour in each county in the state.

The parks will toe located on primary highways, from lour to live miles Irom the nearest town. Beautiflcation of the landscape along Iowa highways and; an Inviting camping site lor tourists are objectives of the parks. The forestry camp administrator outlined a method for developing the parks in a letter to American Legion posts of the state. He suggested organization ol a county committee, to Include members of the 'Legion, civic clubs, the county of supervisors, the county engineer, the county agent, the conservation camp superintendent, and the conservation camp commanding officer. The first step, Perkins said, will be to locate sites for the camps, sites that can develop easily and with spring water or creek.

Deeding of such land to the county would be a factor in lightening the tax burden ol the land owner, Perkins pointed out, as this type of land usually is value less to its owner. Perkins suggested that alter sites are selected, a landscape architect and erosion engineer be called to draw plans lor the project. These technicians now are working in the conservation corps. suggested that county boards of supervisors could supply needed grading and hauling material to be used in needed excavation and road construction projects. "About the only outlay necessary in any community aside from acquiring the site would be lor supplying stone and gravel lor constructing small dams and spillways," Perkins said.

"Even this could toe hauled by the corps men Irom nearby quarries and pits." BUSINESS REVIVAL IS SURE TO FOLLOW A DEPRESSION lOUIS SCHUTTE Undertaker and Erabalmer Orders Taken For Cut Flowers H. BURLING Attorney At Law iOver the Postvllle State Bank IR. H. D. COLE is Office over Citizens State.

Then dawn. Then sunrise. Business has such cycles described respectively as prosperity and recession, depression and revival. We can imagine the terror ol some primitive man who, basking in the sun all day, saw it set at was gone, lost, and it would never come back. Each business recession 'brings out a flock ol such primates.

To them the sun ol prosperity has lorever set. They lail to grasp that they are witnessing a rhythm or periodicity ol business phenomena. While others set about the business ol preparing lor a new day they wail and wring their hands. Twilight catches them unprepared lor the night. Daybreak finds them unprepar- lor day.

How loolish! History records eight major business cycles between 1885 and 1927. Look at the facts! There are as many booms as there are crises, and as many recoveries as recessions. When eveything is being "sold" on the stock market one should realize and act on the knowledge that night precedes the dawns and that depression is the dawn ol revival. Alter every "panic" what characteristically happens? Stocks, bonds, securities, have passed Irom weak" into "strong" hands. Coolness has won, and those who thought in the moment have paid their periodic tribute to those who think Tripoli Leader, finODAY men of all nations are .1 evidencing deep interest In the affairs of their respective governments.

This progressive attitude has undoubtedly resulted from the ceaseless, though not always recognized, iniluonce of the wonderful Christian teaching that in the sight of God all men are equal. ThiB does not mean that every person as a citizen can have assigned to him a special public duty. However, to everyone cornea the privilege, as well as the duty, of being a supporter of right government, and this is Indeed a high office. To caeh citizen come opportunities to support a righteous government through intelligent thinking. Through the cultivation! and exercise of such qualities of thought as are implied by the words understanding, charity, citizenship, and prayer, the Individual can pro- pare himself to be a useful citizen in his community.

Christian Science enables one to regard these subjects in their true light. As men begin to grasp the truth concerning God's government, and to prove their understanding by bettering individual thinking, they find themselves willing and ready to accept the responsibilities of useful citizenship. Many opportunities are thus made available by spiritual understanding. This understanding Includes intelligent comprehension, enlightenment, alertness. One who through Christian Science seeks to understand his government, its purposes, methods, and aims, has an intelligent standard whereby to measure its acts.

He is not misled by false propaganda or by personal influence. He casts his ballot on the side of integrity, sound sense, and progress. In this way he rises above the limitations of a merely material sense of government and begins to demonstrate the truth concerning real government; for he has learned the spiritual nature of man as an intelligent son of an all- wiso God, the perfect Mind. Charity, too, is an open door to opportunities for serving. It may be described as a true sense of love.

Charity is the attitude which rejoices in the certainty of the ultimate triumph of Truth, even when evil seems threatening. To charity, evil is only a deceiving false sense which may be progressively replaced with the true sense of being as spiritual. When charity governs thought, the citizen may look critically upon his government in a helpful way. He may turn the searchlight of critical inspection on the nation's functionings, and by keeping aglow in his own thought the light of wisdom, fairness, patience, and love he will be able to see not only the errors to be eradicated, but the good already accomplished. Many doors to service are opened by the qualities expressed in the word "citizenship." Citizenship, as a way of living, has to do with such opportunities as come to the thinker in the usual walks of life, in the home, the school, or the shop.

Citizenship means bringing to bear upon these activities the influence of a high idealism. It means practicing Jesus' Golden Rule, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." For the student of Christian Science to be a good citizen he must practice the truth discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. That this religion Is the Science of Jesus' teachings has been proved many times by the works which its students have done and are doing through the spiritual understanding of God's law. He who practices Christian Science, in ways small or great, is well prepared to take his place as a servant of mankind. Speaking of "a knowledge of the Science of being," Mrs.

Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 128), "It raises the thinker into his native air of insight and perspicacity." Surely, one so equipped can furnish strong support to the right activities of civic government. The doorway to the highest service Is opened through the power for good in true prayer. Prayer founds thought on the divinely substantial Rock, Christ, the true idea of God, the strong foundation for the superstructure of harmonious living. True prayer avails, and the Christian Scientist learns to pray availingly not alone for the good of himself, but for the whole world.

In Christian Science, prayer is fervent, reverent aspiration; it is spiritual vision. Prayer is that mental attitude which rests on the conviction that God, Love, is the only cause and creator, and that every real effect is Godlike. Prayer breaks the mesmerism of befogging material sense, and through the mists it reveals God's man, governed by God. Through prayer consciousness is filled with the holy facts of being; greed is replaced with unselfed love, hatred with brotherhood, lust with peace, and ignorance with wisdom. "Are we benefited by praying?" asks Mrs.

Eddy on page 2 of Science and Health; and her immediate answer is, "Yes, the desire which goes forth hungering after righteousness is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void." As men universally learn so to pray, the mental atmosphere of the whole world will be suffused with loving- kindness, and all can then echo the angelic rejoicing, recorded by the Revelator, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and The Christian Science Monitor.

A farmer over there lost his farm via the lore- closure route, and had left only a limited amount of stock, larm machinery and personal effects. Desperate, he borrowed last winter what little money he could on these and bought wheat lutures. As the price went up he pyramided, buying more bushels with his profits.

He sold out at around dollar, bought his old larm back and an adjoining one besides. That's the kind ol good luck story one likes to hear. Is klttenball going to ruin goll? I am told that the goll links hereabouts are almost deserted when klttenball games are on, says "On the Air" in the Independence Conservative. A recent visitor at the Wapsie club links tells me that when he drove in there the other day he remarked that no one seemed to be playing. When he got over to the club house he lound the crowd out in Iront playing klttenball.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that Bobby Jones Is hitting the mush ball Instead of the pill these days.

PARITY PRICE" FOR JUST WHAT DOES THAT MEAN Man Eating Fish to be Displayed Along with many new features being arranged for the Fish and Game Exhibit at the State Fair will be the large catfish recently captured in Spirit Lake. The 22-pound catfish was seined from the lake after many bathers had complained of being attacked by the large fish and many were afraid to enter the water. The fish is being kept at the State Fish Hatchery at Orleans and will occupy one of the many aquariums at the Fish and Game Building at the Fair Grounds. Know The Law.

The open season on rabbits is Irom September 15th to February 15th, both dates inclusive. The daily bag limit shall not exceed 15 rabbits.

a Many Bass Distributed. the month ol July, 44,600 black bass were placed in various water ol the state; 3,500 were placed in Muscatine Slough; 7,000 in Cory don Pond; 3,500 in Crystal Lake. Lucas County; 3,500 in Humeston Pond; 3,500 in the Lake at Centerville; 7,000 in the Lake at the Farmington State Park in Monroe County; 7,000 in the Albia City Lake; 7,000 in the City Pond at Centerville; 3,200 in Spring Lake, Grand Junction; 3,200 in Corning Pond; 3,200 in Osceola Ponds; and 3,200 in Lenox Pond. The fisheries division of the Fish and Game Department reports that distribution activities are now in full swing as most species have spawned. Attention is now directed to the obtaining of catfish for distribution, but fisheries men report all species difficult to get on account of recent heavy rains and high water.

Upland Plover. Numerous reports are coming to the Fish and Game Department of upland plover being sighted in various parts of the state. H. A. Holmgren, deputy warden located at Chariton, reports seeing several of this species around the reservoirs in that section of the state.

J. C. Salyer, fisheries investigator finding an upland plover nest two miles south and east of the Backbone State Park as well as seeing several of the birds in this vicinity. "Besides helping in the conservation of the Nation's resources in wild fowl, this unemployment-relief work," says Mr. Redington, "will be ol great educational value to the conservation- corps workers and to the public.

Through actual experience In wild-lile conservation and through talks, motion pictures, and printed information provided for them, they will gain an understanding and appreciation of the value of our natural wild life resources which they can share with their families and friends." In the book on "Amana That Was and Amana That Is," recently issued by the State Historical Society of Iowa, the author, Bertha M. H. Shambaugh, points out that in outward appearance Amana today is much the same as of old. "The seven villages still remain foreign to their surroundings. Indeed, one observes no marked changes in the picture of the Community during the last quarter of a century, except perhaps that this bit of Old World in America lias grown more picturesque with the passing of the years.

"A few of the older buildings have disappeared and new ones have taken their places; but in the main the houses and villages retain their old time simplicity and character. Phlox and verbenas, petunias and zinnias, still bloom in profusion in every dooryard. Grapevines still cover dwelling houses, schools, churches, and hotels The old mill-race, with its willows and vines and pickerel weed, still flows peacefully through the pastures, meadows, and villages; and the lake with its deep border of lotus, is still a glory in a mecca lor thou sands ol automobile tourists who disturb the one-time quiet ol the peaceful Amana Snuday. The ox-teams ol yesteryear that wandered down the flower-bordered village street, along with melodious calls ol their skillful drivers, have given way to the chugging, snorting tractor The long, covered, wooden bridge, with its tracery of carved initials, is out of the picture, along with its lesser quaint contemporaries. Modern bridges now span the streams.

But the historic Iowa river still winds its lovely way through the Amana estate; and the deep woods hide the pink lady-slipper and the brooding i pheasant. Harvest fields glisten in the sunshine, and smiling gardens display their abundance as of old. The timbered hills with their oaks and maples and hickorys and the school lorests of planted pine have taken on the dignity of maturity. Contented cattle graze their way over the great pastures; and the shepherd with his well-trained dog still watches his shifting, moving, woolly flock. "Ripening timothy ripples and dips, and Iragrant clover still in the secluded cemetery where several generations ol Inspirationlsts, regardless ol birth, family ties, or spiritual rank, lie buried side by side and row on row with markers all alike.

"Factories, mills, and workshops still hum and clatter at one end ol the villages, and at the other, voices of children float out ol the vine-bordered windows ol the sohoolhouses." What is a "parity price" for wheat? This is a question in connection with the wheat acreage adjustment program which is puzzling many people. According to Geoffrey Shepherd of the agricultural economics department of Iowa State College, a parity price is that amount which will enable a farmer to buy as much goods with the proceeds from a bushel of wheat as he could purchase during the basic period of 1910 to 1914. If prices of commodities the farmer buys should be as they were during pre-war, the parity price of wheat would be the same as the average prices in 1910 to 1914, or 88.4 cents a bushel, explained Prof. Shepherd. These commodity prices, however, probably will be different than they were during the pre-war period.

In January the price index ol goods bought by the farmer was 104, or 4 points above the pre-war level. At that time the parity price for wheat for the United States would be 88.4 cents multiplied by 1.04, or 91.9 cents per bushel. In May, this figure stood at 100, or exactly equal to pre-war. More recent figures are not available, but according to estimates they are on the upward trend and will rise still further if recovery continues. According to extension workers engaged in acquainting farmers with the wheat adjustment plan, some persons are arguing that the price of wheat is nearly up to the pre-war level.

Mr. Shepherd points out that even though wheat prices reach pre-war levels in the number of cents received per bushel, that wheat would not have its pre-war purchasing power if other commodities rose faster. The wheat acreage adjustment pro- gram proposes to give the larmer parity price in order to insure him against a more rise in prices ol other farm commidities. In other words, the government, in return lor a promise ol reduced acreage in 1934 and 1935, guarantees to give the farmer an amount for that part of his wheat used for domestic human consumption on 1930-32 average which will make his bushel of wheat buy just as many apples, shoes or gallons of gasoline as it did before the war. This guarantee may mean that in order to provide a pre-war purchasing power, the price ol wheat will need to be by means ol the benefit payment to more than the actual dollars and cents price preceding the war.

Thus the wheat grower is protected against a rise in commodity prices which might not followed by a rise In wheat prices. Federal Relief Will Benefit Waterfowl. Birds, as well as man and the forests, are benefiting by the Federal unemployment relief program, says Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, U. S.

Department of Agriculture. Three camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps, he explains, are improving refuges established and maintained by the Federal Government for the protection of birds. One of these, the Blackwater Migratory Bird Refuge, near Cambridge, is a breeding ground for black ducks and blue-winged teal. Mallards and pintails also concentrate on the Blackwater marshes during the migration season, and many shorebirds find sanctuary there. The other two refuges now being improved by the Conservation Corps are used by the birds principally during migration and in the winter Migratory Bird Refuge, In North Carolina, a notable resting ground for wild fowl, including swans, and St.

Marks Migratory Bird Refuge, in Florida, an area frequented by Canada geese, ducks, sanderlings and other shorebirds. St. Marks refuge comprises 19,403 acres Swanquarter, and Blackwater, 7,651 acres, and all were established under the terms of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act in furtherance of treaty obligations for the protection of birds that migrate between the United States and Canada. Clarinda Game Area Shows Results. According to the report of A.

F. Meier, deputy warden at Shenandoah, good results have been obtained on the Co-operative Game Management Area located near Clarinda. Early in the spring several hundred adult pheasants were trapped in the northern part of the state and released in the area. This was done to determine the results that would be obtained from a mass planting. The experiment has proven that at least some of the birds had nested and broods of young pheasants have been seen and reported to the deputy by farmers living within the area.

One farmer reports seeing 40 young birds at one time dusting themselves in the road. Another reports seeing 24 young pheasants at one time. The experiment calls for the close observation of the results that come from the increase and whether or not they will remain in the area which has been prepared for them. Food has been planted and the very best of protection is given the birds that the results may be recorded as accurate. The final result spells a very important factor in the future program for southern Iowa.

The Clarinda Chapter of the Izaak Walton League is co-operating with the Fish and Game Department in the experiment. The group under the able leadership of C. E. Meyer of Clarinda has offered a reward of $25.00 for the arrest of any one killing a pheasant within the area. A Good Fishing Record.

Mr. C. Denecke of Cedar Rapids owns a cottage on the southwest shore of Spirit Lake. From the opening day of the fishing season Mr. Denecke spends a great deal of time at the lake and most of tins time is spent in fishing.

Mr. Denecke prides himself on his fishing record and has kept an account of all fish taken. To date his record shows 180 wall-eyed pike caught which were over 13 inches long. Many of the gardens and corn fields in Clermont and surrounding country are suffering from an attack of grub worms, states the Clermont Enterprise. Some gardeners are already digging their potatoes as a means of saving them from these pests, even though the potatoes are few and small.

The worms and dry weather have evidently conspired to boost the potato market and all but a few families will probably have to buy potatoes early in the fall. Grub worms are eating the base roots of the corn causing the stalk to topple over. One field south of town appears to be completely damaged already and many others are fast showing the effects ol 'the enemy. It's risky business leaving your radio connected during a thunder storm, says the Elgin Echo. Lightning may come in over the electric wires and ruin the radio and again there is the danger ol starting a fire.

This was shown recently at the Schori Kuster Lumber Co. office where the radio was not disconnected one night and lightning came in over the electric service wires. It burned the insulating on the wires and ruined several parts of the radio. This left a short and the current coming in would have started a fire If the case of the radio had not been made of incombustible material.
