DANCING
SCHOOL

1T doesn't seem to me that that's
very good report card. = Bobby's father
said judfcialIy one evening after din
ner. Your history work is very poor
and your department mark is dis
graceful"
"Nobody's good in hast'ry," Bobby
explained Even Mamie Kellys
mark is something fierce IT, that
new teacher. She don't know yet
who's the good ones that she has TO
mark high, and besides she's sore be-
cause she caught me whispering. hon
est. everybody whispers in her room
except Nellh7 Foster. and she doesnt
cause she says she's always sorry
afterward.
II was mad that day cause Susie
Herrick came up to our room. That's
enough to make any teller mad. How'd
that girl get up TO our room for Keeps
when everybody knows she was a.
ways whole year behind? They q
oughter made her mid-year instead
OF sticking her into our room. Biliy
awful sore at it,
You've missed the point, Bobby
It's a question Of marks, not OF likes
and dislikes"
well. nobody likes her All any
body's got to do it to remember back
how stingy she always was with candy
and things. Why. she neyer'd give
feller any, unless It was Jimmy That's
cause Iimmy's always at her house
after school. He walks home from
school with her every day and that
makes me tired. We can't even gel
him to play indoor ball or go to a

THE GOOD RoADe MEETING.

Judgin from the meager attendance
few Of the citizens of Grady county
realized the full significance Of the
good roads conference which was held
in Chickasha Friday.
However, the men who participated
in this meeting may have the satisfac
ton Of knowing that they are pioneers
in a movement which is bound to
prove of incalculable benefit to city
ana county.
This infant, the Grady County Good
Roads association, born on Fridya, Dec.
I30, 1910, is a most promising young
ster and it has a great mission to per
form It is up to the progressive citi-
zens Of the county to nourish it and
encourage it till it accomplishes the
purposes for which it was created
AS Prof. Boyd forcibly pointed out
in his address before the meeting,
the first great obstacle to be overcome
is the indifference of the great mass
Of citizens. A campaign Of agitation
ana education is necessary in order
to awaken the people to full realiza-
tion OF the value of good roads and
the economy that can be effected By
means of them. 1t has been shown by
carefully compiled statistics that the
loss annually from increased cost Of
transportation, caused by bad roads,
is enormous and it has further been
shown that much Of the money which
is spent on our roads is squandered
because It is not spent wisely. To
bring these facts home to every tax
lpayer and to so impress them that
the people will be stirred to revolt
against existing conditions must be
the first work Of the Good Roads as
sociation
Good roads benefit both town and
country. They bring the farmer closer
10 the city and thereby increase farm
values. They open UP easy channels
Eof communication with the cities and
thereby promote trade. They make
4 a country more attractive to the
/ home-seeker and investor and thus
contribute to the general development
Of the state.
Naturally when the question of good
roads is broached, the matter Of cos
causes many to shrink back, but con
slider this fact: President Colt of the
Oklahoma Good Roads association
stated that the amount of none!
which is now being spent annually OF
Oklahoma roads, if continued for /
term of 25 years, would give the stat
a system OF modern highways as gooc
as the best, provided the money i
properly expended 1t is evident, how
ever, that under the shp-shod, unscier
tific methods employed in the past, n
such results will be obtained. 1t is IL
to us, therefore, to apply ourselves di
, igently to the study Of the problem
before us, to learn how 70 build road
Ind how to spend our money ,economi,
ally. We should not be so foolish a
e to squander our money when there
, better way If we will only take tn
!. trouble to find it.
y To work out this better way an
! thereby learn to conserve our roa
i money is the great object of the a
v sociation that has been launched
! Grady county. 1t is to be hoped tn;
: the leaders in the movement will pc
/ severe in their efforts till they get IL
t. entire county aroused and every eli
! zen becomes an enthusiastic goC
# roader.

she doesn't beat me in anything
