Committee on Roads.

The question of good roads is
one of the greatest that confronts
our people. They will do more
to Guild up our county and add
value to property than any other
one thing We know of. The sem
timent for good roads is stronger
today than it ever was before.
The question that concerns us
most is how to build the road |
with the least expense. Owing
to the magnitude Of this question
and the need of careful con-
sideration, we recommend that
committee of 5 be appointed to
draw up resolutions and make
recommendations to this body
at our next meeting. We further
recommend that this committee
cooperate with the Rural Letter
Carriers Association in efforts
along this line.
Committee on Education.
More has been done for the
past year to create greater in
terest in school work than for
any year in the history of the
county. Through the cooper
alton of the Farmers Union edu-
cational questions have been agi.
tated, rallies have been held, and
today there is a stronger senti-
ment in favor of agricultural
education in our public schools
than ever before. A teachers
institute was recently held for 2
weeks, and as result the teach
ers of the county are going into
the school rooms with better
methods of teaching and greater
enthusiasm for work than ever.
Before the institute closed the
teachers as a body pledged them
selves to teach agriculture in
their schools-soil preparation,
soil tests, seed selection, ro-
tation of crops. etc. Efforts are
being made by the superintend-
ent to Establish reading rooms
where daily papers, farm papers,
farm bulletins, etc., can
be read and filed for ref.
erence. Boys Corn Clubs are
being organized and now there
are over 30 boys who have en-.
tered the contest for the best
acre of corn. We recommend:
First, that the Farmers Unior
urge upon committeeman te
stand by and assist their teach
ers in every possible way to maks
their work a success. Second
that the Farmers Union place
itself on record as favoring az
agricultural school for Robeso;
county, and that we urge upol
our representatives in the Gen
eral Assembly to vote for thu
general bill for agriculture
schools prepared by the Farm
ers' Union of the State. Third
that we place ourselves on recor'
as favoring general improvement
of rural schools.

THE other day a girl had her fiance
arrested on a charge of larceny.
u 1t seems that the young man
had bought his engagement ring on the
inseahmeni plan.
When the payments came due he had
not the money to meet them. In despair
he borrowed the ring from his fancee,
and returned 1t to the jeweller.
The young woman, who Is evidently
more grasping than romantic. promptly
had him arrested.
She protests that she loves him. 1t is
a case OF 81 love my sweetheart, but
oh, you engagement ring"
Naturally every girl who becomes en-
gagged likes to have an engagement ring;
It is a token, a pledge OF the mans love-
and therefore very dear to her.
But the ring is really not Of vital i'm
portance, and II she sincerely loves the
man she won't fret II she does not have
a ring.
