ready for these two days work. Will you please call a meeting of your neighbors and arrange a systematic plan of operation? Allot a certain amount of road to a number of men and appoint some one to superintend the work. Get your tools ready so there will be no delay on the morning of November the 11th. 1 have a number of scrapers and blows that can be secured by those who will go after them first. See me at an early date and Twill tell you where to get them.
 wish some one would write a few words to the editor about this work. Perhaps you have a plan to suggest that will be help full. Give it to us and let's do the very best we can. Suppose two thousand men would each fill up just one mud hole, or open a ditch, or haul five loads of gravel and put on piece of muddy road. It would make a wonderful i'm provement in our road system.
 Please do not fail me in this matter. have had many sore disappointments this year, not because of any lack of sympathy and good will on the part of tte people, they have been very kind to me. But l have not been able to carry out some of my cherish ed plans. We have not accom- plished as much as had expect ed. I think we will be able to do more another year but in the meantime we must make the best of the situation.
 Don't forget November 11th. and 18th. 1913.

4 CONVERTIBLE PRACTICE

One of the most conremptible practices indulged in by girls and women and one in which quite a few delight, is that of making sluring sneering remarks about the clothes, manners or habits of some other woman or girl who is busily engaged iii attending to her own business. This practice is usually indulged in by the
 'friskabouts," the girls W h 0 seem to have no other pastime aside from gadding the streets or loafing about the cold drink stands, and while no one escapes them their more vehement re- marks are usually directed to- ward some one who is as far above them morally and intellect ually as the stars are above the earth. Their antagonistic feel ing is given full sway until an unreasonable jealousy takes poss. esslon of them body and soul. Their sneering remarks are in- tended to injure, but are usually understood by right minded peo- pie, and instead of injuring the person toward whom they are di- rected they act as a boomerang and rebound upon the one giving them voice Stuttgart Review.

AN EARNEST APPEAL
 TO PATRIOTIC CITIZENS

1 am sure that every true citi- zen will gladly cooperate W i t h his neighbors in anything that IS for the good of the community at large. The greatest trouble that confronts us just now is sum- med up in one question, what shall we do about the roads? The unusual rains for the last six weeks have upset all our plans. The winter season is almost upon us and much of the work that had been planned cannot possibly be done now. It is too late now to lose time in arguing or quib- bling over whose fault it is. The fault may be mine, 1 feel some what guilty, 1 am sure 1 have not pressed the work as 1 should have done but I intended to have done better, Does that satisfy you? I didn't know that the rains were qooming so soon either. If had Known I would have hurried the boys up a little But the question remains still, what shall we do without the roads?
 There is one thing that we can edo now and that is the only thing fIhat will save us from pulling 5 through the mud next winter. Let every patriotic citizen get busy and make some improve xnent in the road that lies nearest Faim and is m s t important to him, fill up a mud hole, make the N worst place the best and the roads will not be half so bad. l am going to ask every able bod led man in this county to give himself two days work. Let's set apart Nov. 11th., and 18th to do this. If two thousand men twill get out and work on those two days like they work every ch aay at home it will go a long way 'al.s ruises. and solving the problem for 'c and 5C~esent.

PURE FOOD LAW
IS INADEQUATE
Government Officials to Draft
Drastic and Safer Measure

Washington, Nov. lS--A conference
between state pure food commissioners
and officials of the department of agri-
culture here today decided the federal
pure food law was inadequate; that il
should be repealed and another statute
substituted Immediately The chief
point of attack was the section which
permits the use of a guarantee label
by manufacturers. This was declared
misleading to the public and made it
appear that the products were guar
anteed by the government.
After the discussion a committee was
appointed to urge Congress to pass a
new measure, and also II provide "A
law To fix standards for all foods and
drugs. Another committee will confer
With committee from the American
Ear association looking to the uni
formity of federal and state laws for
the enforcement of pure food laws
That section of the federal pure food
law reGarding the use of coloring mat
ter ana harmless extracts also was
condemned II was pointed out that
this permission was made the cloak
for frauds which could not always bc
reached under the penal sections.
