It is always a pleasure and a
profit to us to meet John O. Wood,
formerly of near this city, now of
Canton. A pleasure because he is
companiOnable: profitable because
we always learn something from
his store of ripe experience and
knowledge.
For more than half a century he
has been a successful cattle raiser
and feeder and when Others would
feed meal to their calves. give them
the scours and lose heavily, he
would feed them shelled corn. there
by saving the calves and having
thrifty stock. He says four bushels
of shelled corn is worth more fed to
a calf than five bushels of meal
MIR. Wood has made a study Of
cattle, their first and second stOm-
achs and digestion and has learned
that neither a calf nor a steer, to
do well, must be fed food too fine

Mrs. Agnes Petit, who for sever
al years past has been instructor Of
music in the Macon public school,
has rendered her resignation to the
board and accepted a similar posi-
ton in the schools of Wellington,
Kan. Mrs. Petit was elected unan-
imously and will received a salary
of $50 per month. She makes the
change in order to be near her
daughter Ailene, who is attending
the Wichita Conservatory of Music.
The Wellington schools are indeed
fortunate in securing Mrs. Pettit'S
splendid services. Under her able
| supervision the pupils of the Macon
schools have made remarkable
progress in the musical line and il
will be difficult indeed to obtain an,
other teacher with the talent and
rare ability Mrs. Petit possesses
She. as well as her charming daugh,

Fifty-two Years.

made very desirable citizens.
Mrs. Young thinks she knows
Robert so we'll that she not only
knows what he does but can an

Robert thinks she is the dearest
little woman on earth but has not
found all the cogs in his wheels

the fact that Robert could not sur
prise her but now she has another
guess coming.

fifty-two years of her life and Robert
quietly gave his neighbor, Mrs.

her: I'm going to take my wife to
Monroe to do some shopping and

my friends to take possession OF
our home and have dandy sur

THE ROAD BONDS

We are glad to learn that the gravel
road bonds are not invalidated by the
decision of the Supreme Court. Their
validity. it appears. on good authority,
will not be impaired whether the mon
ey has been expended or not. At any
rate another action other than the one
which the Supreme Court has passed
upon, will determine the status of the
bonds.
We are glad. not alone for the reason
that the investors as investors will not
suffer, but because invalidity of the
bonds in such way as to discourage
public improvements is hurtful and
good roads are needed in Indiana-or
rather more good roads.
1t has been proved that good roads
are good investments from the stand
point of the public welfare. The dis
couragement of the movement for
them which engenders a lack of con-
fidence in the legislative act is far
reaching in its effect and a hitch in the
technicalities may cost the state more
in the arresting of development than
the mere question of loss to investors.
