Little Indiana.

j. w. Bray of Little lndiana-The
unanswerable argument, as / see 1t,
in favor of the bond issue for good
roads is that it equalizes the burdens
OF a new country, putting off for a
few years the payment for the out
let to a market for the new settlers
to a time when the people have
cleared, fenced and improved their
land and are more able to pay for
roads. With a boni issue available,
the commissioners could do away
with all OF a part of the present 10
cent levy, thus taxes would remain
practically the same as at present.
The farmers are almost unanimously
in favor of the bond issue.
Should Employ Expert Engineer.
L. HI. Hallam-I am in favor OF
the bond issue provided the money
is spent properly. ! think that the
county should, if the bond issue car
ries, employ an expert engineer, and
give him entire direction of the
work, not allowing political matters
to enter into the improvements.
Harrington Almost Unanimous.
/. b. Mcfarland - Practically
every taxpayer In the Harlingen dis
trict Is in favor of the bond issue.
AT a meeting OF the citizens Friday
night, everyone present was heartily
In favor Of the Issue, and there will
be very few if any votes against the
bonds in this precinct.
R. L. Chaudo'n of Harrington
said that at a meeting Of farmers in
Harlingen Friday night the matter
was put to a vote and every man
stood up In favor of the bonds. Says
issue will carry in and around Har-
|lingen by a big majority.
Deplores Condition Of Roads.

TALKS ON INVESTMENTS
Municipal Bonds.

Municipal bonds are favorites
with insurance companies, trustees
and executors of estates. many banks
and private investors.
"Municipals" are considered sec
ond only to United States bonds.
Municipal issues are usually
bought outright by banking houses
when investing their own money, af-
ter sharp bidding.
Not only their validity. but every
phase of their values, prosperity,
progressiveness, character of indus
tries and trade of a municipality;
whether II owns waterworks, etc,
and their physical condition; its re-
lation of debt to its true and assess
ed valuation. reputation for meeting
former obligation promptly; all
these are matters for careful analysis.
The conditions must be satisfac-
tory in every respect before accept
ance OF an issue Of municipal bonds.
Requirements are extremely
stringent, making a municipal bond
as safe an investment as any farm
mortgage ever offered for security.

Church Last Night.
CREATES DEEP IMPRESSION
VIII Speak Tonight on ''Man, Mind

With Personal Problems.

The first lecture OF series OF ten
by Newton n. Riddell given in the
First Methodist church last night I'M
der the auspices OF the Rock Island
Ministerial alliance and the Y. NJ. C.
A. made a most favorable impression
and the large audience, deep interest
and enthusiastic comments following
the lecture seem to assure the sue
cess of the series in this city. He
spoke to an audience that filled the
large auditorium of the church, crowd
ing the galleries and overlooking into
the Sunday school room. DR.. II. W.
Reed Of the First Baptist church
opened the work with a few appropri-
ate remarks concerning the object of
the lectures and introduced the
speaker. The subject was Brain
Building and Soul Growth"
MAN BUILDER FOR HIMSELF.
Mr.. Riddell said in part: I'VE are
all souls voyaging toward eternity's
shore. The bark in which We sail,
the brain in which We live for a time,
lions. Every man is a builder for him

he builds his brain so will be his men

acter. Crime is a growth. There is
no such thing as a sudden departure
from virtue-the first step in crime is
invariably one of choice, the last step
is often inevitable. The nervous sys-
tenn is a marvelously constructed ma
chine whereby sensation and life are
organized into intelligence. BY OBJ
servation. by concentrated attention,
by persistent repetition OF effort the
intelligence and efficiency of animals
and man may be indefinitely Increased.
The nerve centers are plastic and
yield to cultivation, so character has
its physical basis in habit. AS evil
habits can be corrected so defective
character can be improved. II your
disposition does not please you make
It better. II your life is carnal and
out OF harmony with God and the spir-
itual order OF the world you can make

BUILDING OF BRAIN.
by intelligence and care the child's
brain can be built so that it will auto
