COUNTY ROADS.

The new law placing a tax on au.
tomobiles and motorcycles provides
that the proceeds therefrom shall be
applied to the upkeep of county
roads. This makes it necessary in
this county for the commissioners to
designate certain roads on which
this tax is to be applied which shall
hereafter be known as the county
roads. This matter is the cause CT
considerable speculation as to where
these roads shall be.
The number Of automobiles has moi
yet been ascertained and won't be un.
til the tax rolls are completed but
will probably amount to somewhere
near eight hundred, with about one
hundred motorcycles which would
yield an income of less than -four
thousand dollars to be used within
the county. The commissioners have
taken no action in the matter and
probably will not for some time to
come.
Requests are coming in from var.
ious parts of the county asking that
certain pieces Of road be designated
as county road" which would neces-
sarily be repaired and maintained at
the expense of the county. About all
that appears on the surface of this
question in its present status is a
lot of grief for the commissioners
and the possibility of a lot of sore
spots" in various parts of the county
which fail to benefit by the applica-
ton of the funds created by the
new tax law:

Washington April S.-The presi.

Of the hall Of the house and person
ally read his message to congress, the
first president since John Adams to
exercise this privilege. The galleries
were packed with national figures.
Mrs. Wilson and daughters and sew
eral cabinet members and their fam
ilies were present. The diplomatic
galleries probably had a representa-
tive of every nation. A moving pic
ture machine preserved the record fol
the government archives. The presi-
dent began thus: Il am very glad to
have this opportunity to address the
two houses directly and verify for
myself the impression that president
of the United States is a person, not
a mere department of the government
hailing congress from an isolated is
land Of jealous power sending mes

beings in a common service. After

WATSON.

Mr.. R. X. Watson and Mrs. Lou
Gum were called to Ell Reno, Okla,
last Thursday evening by receipt OF
a message announcing the death OF
their father which occurred there thai
day, funeral services being held in
FL Reno and the remains taken to
Northwood Iowa, for interment.
Mr.. Watson was a man about sew
enty years old and had been one Of
the most Influential men of Oklaho-
ma, being one of the chief politicians
of the state up until about ten years
ago when he was stricken with par
alysis and was forced to retire from
active life. For a number of years
ne was post master at El Reno. He
had made his home here for some
time and was well known to many of
our people, who unite in sympathy
with the bereaved in their sad afflic-
ton.

BASE BALL.

Base ball matters are rapidly round
ing into shape. The committees tC
raise funds are meeting with fairly
good success and there now appears
to be no question as to whether OF
not the financial end will be properly
adjusted. Weather conditions have
caused some delay but at the same
time the moisture which has fallen
in the past few days makes the gen.
eral outlook so much more favorable
that in a short time the necessary
funds will have been secured. A good
lineup CT players is awaiting Mana
ger Wilson's instructions to report.
We don't expect I'd win the pennant
until after the season opens but from
that time on we'll be a contender.
The schedule of games has not ben
published here up to this time ow-
ing to the fact that some changes
are to occur in the original arrange
ment. AS soon as the matter can be
adjusted the schedule, which will be
a very satisfactory one to the home
contingent, will appear locally. The
only thing to be done at the present
is-Boost to the extent of your atil
ity, especially in financial way.

Prof. Axton and some of the High
School boys who are interested in the
track meet, which will occur Saturda,,
April II, at the fair grounds, are
busy getting the track and field in
condition. The schools which have
enrolled for the meet are the Great

wood schools. Fifty contestants are
coming from Ellinwood alone. The
county schools enrolled are Districts
No. IA. SO, 5S, 42, 40, 27, II, II and s
This is a large increase over last
years. enrolment, when there were
only six schools enrolled.
An admission of five cents for child
ten and ten cents for adults will be
charged. This money will not all be
ased this year to pay the expenses Of
the meet but will be kept as a re-
serve fund for the meet next year.
Those who come in the morning will
not have to pay again if they leave
the grounds to go home for dinner.
All contestants will be admitted free
of charge. Teachers should go to
the county superintendent's office for
tickets for contestants from their
schools.
There will be check stand in one
Of the buildings on the fair grounds

1t would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste, or with strokes that cut at the
very roots Of what has grown up
amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation. 1t does not alter
a thing to upset it and break it and
deprive it Of a chance to change. It
destroys it. We must make changes
In our fiscal laws, in our fiscal sys-
tenn, whose object is development,
not revolution or upset or confusion.
We must build up trade, especially
foreign trade. We need the outlet
and the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up industry as well, and must
adopt freedom in the place Of artifi.

build, not pull down. In dealing viii
