A COUNTY HIGHWAY.

The matter Of q well built road
across Ford county to attach to one
to be built east and west OF here,
talked Of two years ego in the Globe
Republican is empbasizediat this time
by the general clamor in this section
OF the state for such a highway.
Hutchinson for several months now
! has been advocating the building OF
highway from the Salt City to the
west line Of Kansas and more recent
!, has been working for one from the
east side Of the state TO the boarder.
Garden City for several months has
been sgitatiDg this movement in her
papers.
As mentioned in this paper few
months ago it would not take much
work to make a good road most OF
the way across the county from the
east side to Dodge City, then there
is a little stretch west Of Howell that
would take good deal Of work.
Cimarron men claim that il that
stretch of road were built from How
ell to the line by Ford county, they
will see that Gray completes it to
Clmarron.
Il is becoming generally recog-
nized as fact that good highways
are one Of the best investments any
community can make A fne road
across the county would be a home
convenience, an It would bring
great deal of new travel through.
The Hutchinson fell ,ws look for
ward to the time when there will be O
string OF q dorado tourists automo.
billing the full length Of the state.
This is not at all improbable il the
proposed highway is built and the
fact that there is general interest
all over the United States in the
good road movement will holp the
matter 'long. II there is through
highway we will want it to come
through Dodge City and if we
make an early start here it will help
to have the road built this way.
The commercial club at Hutchin-
son this week has started move
ment for the calling of a conference
to discuss the matter. The plan is
TO have a call for meeting issued,
sig ed by commercial clubs and
chairmen Of the boards of county
commissioners Of the counties across
lhe state.
1t would probably be better to
stnrt movement along The line from
Hutchinson to Garden City calling a
conferenc at Dodge City to consid-
er plans. Whether the entire plan
succeeds or not, it would be fine
thing to have a good direct highway
across Ford county from east to west.

FAyLTtESS PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress and
Indigestion So Perfect.

A scientific prescription for dyspep-
STA put up in small tablet form and
called Mona is making thousands Of
quick and lasting cures throughout
America.
There is no stomach disease (even
catarrh of the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and Hays & Field
has so much faith in Mi-o-na for stom-
ach disorders Of all kind that they will
refund your money if it does not
cure.
Mona, the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach, belching of gas,
distress after eating, heartburn, bill
iousness and nervousness.
1t is well worth trial by any reader
of the News who suffers from any
stomach disturbance. It contains in
gradients that not only give relief but
that act on the stomach so benefi
,cially that in a short time the flabby.
tired out walls of the stomach regain
their strength and activity and can
erfectly digest any kind of food with
out aid.
Try Mi-o-na for a week; misery will
change to happiness; despair to hope,
dull eyes to bright and you will your
self wonder why you suffered so long
with such a remarkable prescription
at hand.
And only so cents for a large box
at Hays & Field, and at druggists ev
erywhere.

During the years of good trading, and
particularly when the exchange of COM
modities was interferred with by
shortage of transportation facilities,
all classes of buyers protested against
the delays in filling orders. some of
which were occasioned by reason of
inability to secure cars and others due
ders for materials for which higher
prices could be secured.
The moral of all this should be pat
ent, but in the event that it has es-
capped any reader of the American
Lumberman it might be well to state
it in this way. For time the individ
ual or concern who seeks to extract
the last possible advantage chance
places in his hands makes a profit,
but in the long run the returns Will
be evend up. The shipper who in 1906
realized little extra profit by ac-
cepting rush orders and to handle
the delayed shipment of goods previ
ously ordered is now losing the extra
profit because the lumber market now
is a buyers market and the buyer is
exacting his advantage. In magazine
articles and terse business statements
the people of this country have been
indicted by visitors from abroad on the
charge of being Temporary people"
1t is alleged that the advantages of
the moment are of more concern to the
people of the United States than those
requiring a greater length of time to
pay dividends, financial or otherwise.

ative and wisdom among its members
to refute these charges, providing. of

MANY PRETEXTS ARE
ADOPTED BY Dealers

a great many of them are grossly ex-
aggerated and some wholly without
merit, and all, we believe, superin-
duced by low prices and the conse-
quent close scrutiny of every piece OF
lumber that comes into the yard"
Considering this question from one
view point it would seem that buyers
would be more rigid in their inspec-
ton and present greater number OF
claims when prices are high. Possibly
the difficulty of securing stock at
such times makes them content with
what is received even though the quail
ity of the stock be unsatisfactory.
From a purely monetary STANDPOINT,
however, it would seem more profit
able to pay $50 a thousand feet thnn
at $25 In practice, however, the abil-
ity to buy at low price appears to
make the receivers of lumber much
more critical and exacting.
Dealers in lumber whether whole
salers or retailers, are more concerned
with the margin of profit they can de-
rive from their business than the act
ual prices they receive. The objec-
ton of dealers to high prices to an ex-
tent is based on the necessity of hav-
ing to increase their investment. I'm
der the present conditions retail lum-
bermen should be able to make larg-
err profit on small sales than they were
able to make during the boom times of
1906 and 1907.
Viewing this question of cancela-
tons and claims, just or unjust. from
an unbiased standpoint, it would seem
that during periods of active demand
sellers do not hesitate to profit by
those conditions which favor them,
and it is only human nature of course,
that on a buyers market the latter
should exact the full measure of their
advantage.

letters are referred to illinois Retail

SOME CLAIMS
WITHOUT Merit
Low Price Seems to Have Made
Some of the Dealers Feel That They
Can Make Any Kind of a Claim.

A recent letter from a prominent
Alabama yellow pine manufacturing
and distributing company contains a
quotation from a communication re-
ceived from another producer which
has the merit of timliness. 1t is Civ
en- herewith:
Replying to your favor of the six
teenth inst, we are having many
groundless claims for bad lumber and
shingles which we are satisfied is all
owing to the dull market; hence we
don't care to sell any more until the
market advances unless you will come
here and inspect and make the inspec-
ton final f. o. b. cars when we will
take the two additional carloads, but

under the present conditions and cir.
cumstances he would not ship to his
brother, as We are satisfied no matter
how perfect the grade of lumber is
now it will be held up so as to make

Commenting on the foregoing, the
larger operator says: I'VE have not
experienced so many claims for alleged
shortages, differences in grade etc.
that we have been called upon to al

ORIGIN Of the "Johnnies."

The opposing armies applied many
different names to each other during
the war. At the outset "Reb" ana
'Secesh" were favorite terms as ap-
plying to the Confederates. Along in
1862 "Grayback' and "Butternut''
were often used. both derived from the
uniforms the Confederates wore. Many
of their uniforms were Of a butternut
color, dyed reddish brown with butter
nut bark. But some time in 1864, as
the story goes. two pickets, one FROM
each army, were haunting each other
