Road dragging seems to have
reached the, contagious stage at
last. We hone it will become
epidemic as we'll as endemic, and
new foci will be formed in every
neighborhood in and about Rich
Hill and all the regions round
about. This is a good thing and
every body ought to encourage
the contagion and scatter the
germs all over the country, so
that every community will be
thoroughly infected with the bac-
cilli of road improvement. We
know there is a little drag to
it but once the people get thor
oughly innoculated it will spread
and the effct will be wonderfully
reiuyinating to the community
that has it worst.

Not a Criticism.

II seems that what We said a
week or two ago about the large
amount allowed TO Receiver
Egger and his lawyers, IN the
Salmon bank matter, has been
taken, in some quarters, as a
criticism of Judge Denton in his
action in that matter. IL was
not so intended. We think we
realize the trying position of "a
judge especially when he is not
in political sympathy with the
majority of the lawyers who
practice at his bar. But be that
as it may, the Judge on the bench
has to be governed by the evi-
dence submitted, as well aS the
law, in the case. We have no
doubt but it was submitted 10
the Judge that the fees demand.
ed were none too large and were
about the proper thing Such
being the case the allowance was
made accordingly, as a matter
of course. Any other Judge
would have done the same.
This is not what we were driy-
ing ut. MIR. Spencer, down at
st. Louis, a short time ago, was
appointed receiver in the matter
of the Lewis United States Bank
and for about ten days service
came into court and demanded
something like ST., 600. and if we
remember correctly, the court
allowed about =, 600 after test
mony submitted and statements
made and agreement of attOr-
neys, or something Of the sort.
We called attention to this mat
ter then as an outrageous piece
of business,
The parties in the Salmon bank
have felt the little finger Of a
state court, and they viii feel the
weight of the whole body Of the
bankruptcy proceedings before
they get through with it. They
think they have felt the lash of
a state court, but before they
get through with the Salmon
business in bankruptcy, they
will feel the sting of the scor-
pions beside which the state
court lash will be as a soothing
ointment.
What we are driving at in all
these matters is the out ageous
fees charged. These are the
things that are breeding disre
spect and contempt FOR all court
proceedings. One of old said.
Woe unto you also, We lawyers!
For We lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne, and yeI
yourselves touch not the burdens
with one of your fingers" Stop
before you raise the righteous
Indignation of the people.

A dogs kennel should always be
placed facing south, so that the ami
NAL may have the light and heat of
the sun at all seasons of the year.
Without plenty of sunlight a dog will
not keep in health. Straw or pine
shavings form the best bedding for a
dogs kennel and are much superior to
hay or sawdust, which is often used.
Great care should be taken to see that
the bedding is always dry and that ii
is changed at least once week. In
the hot weather bedding is not required
