or Inter. vt To Manufactures.

Perhaps no class of people, the
farmer not excepted, has great
er interest in highway improve
ment than those engaged in in
dustrial enterprise. II the COM
mon roads of the country were
brought to a condition that
would enable farmers to market
their products at all seasons of
the year, the cost of living in
town and city would be greatly
lessoned, and discomfort among
laboring people and operatives in
industrial concerns would largely
decrease if it did not entirly dis
appear. Why and how? Pres
ent road conditions compel farm
ers to rush their products to mar
ket as soon as harvested, whe n
the roads are at their best, as by
waiting a convenient time they
may not get there at all. If one
farmer must do likewise. This
naturally congests the market,
forcing low prices to the great
detriment of the producer and
without benefit to the consumer,
because the average family in
town or city buys only in small
quantity at one time, say days
or a weeks supply. What is the
result? The Spectator, finding
prices low and knowing that i'll a
little while the bad.roads season
will be on when competing pro-
ducts will be kept away from
trade centers, buys up the sur
plus and stores it away for the
day which he knows is surely
coming when he can demand and
receive his own price for his
holdings-the stuff for which
men toll; which they are COM
PEELED to have. And when the
citizen in town, the mechanic and
operative of the shops and fac
tories, is forced in winter and
spring to pay exorbitant prices

We Did 1t Again.

A monster crowd was present at
the ball park to witness the Fourth
of July game. 1t was determined
fight for the $50 purse with odds
in favor of the Benton Boomers
for they had vanquished our home
team less than two weeks before.
When the teams took their places
every member had a picture of
that sixty dollars hanging just in
front of his optics. Necessarily the
beautiful vision faded from before
the Boomers ere the game had pro-
ceeded very far. Extra made her
big gains the fret time at the stick,
running in six scores. The remain
der of the game was fiercely con.
tested in spite of the fact that errors
in both teams were frequent. The
absence of outfield flies was partic-
ularly noticeable showing that the
pitchers had things we'll in control.

A SYMBOL OF PEACE.
The Dove Has Had This Distinction
In All Ages Since the Flood,


The dove has been pictured as the
bird Of peace by writer's and artists in
all the ages since the time Of the flood,
for the dove has figured in the SYM
bolism Of many races and of count
less generations. According to the
Century Dictionary, the dove is the
bird of peace because Of the incident
recorded in the eighth chapter Of Cen
esis: "And it came to pass at the end
Of forty days that Noah opened the
window of the ark which he had made,
and he sent forth a raven which went
to and fro until the waters were dried
up from off the earth. And he sent
forth dove from him to see if the
waters were abated from off the face
Of the ground, but the dove found no
rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him In the ark And
he stayed yet another seven days, and
again he sent forth the dove out Of the
ark, and the dove came to him in the
evening, and, 10, in her mouth was an
olive leaf plucked off; so Noah knew,
that the waters were abated from off
the EARTH"
Proper names derived from the dove
have always been used in the orient
as descriptive Of loneliness and were
especially applied to beautiful wo1
men. The dove was woven into the
pagan worship Of ancient northern
Europe, and it has great place in
early Christian life and symbolism.
From immemorial time the dove has
always been type Of innocence to
the Jews. Elsewhere it has been as
sociated since the Olympian age with
the higher idea of Venus as the SYM
Dol of natural human affection-the
love that goes with purity and sim
plicity Of heart. 1t had part in mar
rage scenes and was naturally intro
duced by early Christian painters into
pictures of the Madonna and child and
Of female saints. These qualities of
gentleness and affection combined with
their mournful notes made doves
equally appropriate to moods Of sor-
row, and they We're part of the furni-
ture Of most pagan funerals. This
passed on into Christian usage and
their likenesses, generally combined
with the olive branch, We're carved
on the tombs in the catacombs be-
meath Rome and elsewhere, emblematic
of eternal peace.
In the Sporting Magazine for 1925
this appeared: pigeons are rarely
seen at the table Of the Russians, who
entertain a superstitious veneration for
these birds because the Holy Ghost as
sumed the form of dove" Comment
ing on this, writer says, This Gus
tom of the abstinence from the flesh
of the dove is far older than Christian
ity, being indeed in all probability con-
nected with the same class of feelings
as those which marked it out as the
Aryan death bird"
Sir Richard f. Burton remarks: s'Ev-
er since Noahs dove every religion
seems to consider the pigeon as the
| sacred bird. For example, every
mosque swarms with pigeons, and the
same exist in most Italian market
places. The Hindoo pundits and the
old Assyrian empire also have them"

Extras Fourth.

The Fourth of July has past and
gone and Extra is fast resuming
her normal state. The large crowd
present on that day goes to prove
that the people from all parts of the
county know where to go to enjoy
a day of jollification and pleasure.
No accidents happened to mar the
pleasures of the day notwithstand-

squib and torpedo cane was every
where in evidence. Our merchants
We'd with each other in the tasty
manner in which they made their
window displays which were both
unique and pleasing. Flags and
bunting were every where and the
people seemed to be in their most
pleasant mood, for not quarrel or
fight served to cast shadow over
the occasion. Owing to the rains OF
the previous week the streets were
in too sloppy condition for the
parade besides several other amuse-
ments announced on the program
were not pulled off for like reason.
The speaker of the day, Major
Mckenzie was introduced to the
audience by Prof. F. A. Minis in a
few appropriate but we'll chosen
words. The Major is fine speaker
and held his audience from the
commencement to the end of his
Grafton which was both crisp and
interesting. Take it all in all Extras
citizens are not ashamed of their
attempts to amuse and entertain
the hundreds of people who came
to the town to celebrate.
