DIFFER IN PLANS
FOR GOOD ROADS
Use to Be Made of Prospective
Funds Will Be Discussed by
Speakers at Edgington.

If Rock Island county supervisors,
at their special meeting next week,
vote to take advantage of the offer of
state aid for road improvement and
indicate certain highways upon which
the money shall be expended, as they
are expected to do, the question of
what use shall be made of the funds
will be one of the utmost Importance.
Some favor the immediate beginning
Of construction of hard roads, devoting
such funds as can be raised from year
to year to gradually add to the mile
age leading from the larger business
centers of the country. While COM
paratively little road can be built each
year by this process, those favoring
the plan argue that it is the only way
TO get permanent roads and the start
should be made with the first funds
available for the purpose.
Others favor use of the first money
appropriated with a view of bene-
fitting a larger area. They contend
that such provision as has been made
thus far for financing highway i'm
provement is wholly inadequate to
build stone, brick or concrete roads
and that the few miles of hard road
/ that could be built annually with the
money available in the county would
/ be rather an aggravation than bene
fit. They urge the selection of lib
eral mileage for improvement, be
/ ginning with dirt roads rather than
the construction of expensive hard
ones. They would first have a com
petent engineer draw up a compre
hensive plan for grading, thing and
ditching and would employ the funds
in this work and in keeping the high
ways dragged. In this way, they con
tend, a greater number of people
will receive the benefit, at leas
in the beginning.
Such questions as these are expect
ed to be discussed at the organization
meeting at Edgington Saturday nigh
with the object of designating one o.
more roads through the lower end o
the county to receive state aid.

compelled to enter the courts of the State

to the property.
The land. in four 5o.acre tracts was
left to the German Lutheran Church. of
Frederick, in 1877, under the will OF Mi
chael Bayer, a revolutionary soldier, who
died here. and whose will was probated
here. Captain Mantz was the executor
under the will. and while he qualified. he
died before carrying out the terms of
the will. and in 1898, Mr.. c. c. Carly, of
Frederick, was made executor and pro-
ceeded to carry out thet terms of the will,
made nearly three fourths of a century
before.
The will directed that the land be sold.

Frederick, purchasing it for $500, and he
later conveyed it to the Evangelical Luth-
eran Church, OF Frederick, and the
church has since been paying the taxes

Joseph B. Davis. who is now about to
remove the timber. The church has no.
tilted him to cease trespassing upon the
property and a committee from the
church has visited the property and made

SO acute has the situation become that
the church has retained former Judge
John c. Motter, Reno S. Harp and Leo
Weinberg, as attorneys, to defend its
rights. The matter has been placed in
the hands of MessrS. Charles T. X
Young, and George II. Zimmerman, by
the church, and Mr. Young stated that
the attorneys had been instructed to en-
deavor to procure an Injunction restrain
ing Mr. Davis from removing the timber

contains excellent timber and that it is
also underlaid with coal, and that the
land is now worth from $4,000, to
$4,000.

WHAT cRANKINEss COSTS.

The following from one of our most
valuable exchanges certainly contains
more truth than poetry and is deserving
Of a place in our Home Circle Depart
ment:
An ISyear old girl in New York, back
from an adventuresome 10y ride with
lad OF is in a stolen auto. to a
woman reporter who visited her in the
lookup:
1T was just a picnic. We never
thought of it as anything else. | under
stand that my father says that he is go
ing to have me sent away. | don't care
if he does. | don't want to go home.
The old man is so cross and cranky he
gets on my nerves."
This girl was once a pretty, smiling,
promising baby. fathers pet and
mothers JOY; not foredoomed to be un-
loving and wayward Something be-
tween the ages of two and sixteen hap
pened to explain her change of character.
Without knowing in detail the family
history could you not very safely haz-
ard guess on the basis of that one as
sertIon: The old man is so cross and
cranky?"

ing. 1t is a child's right The child
who IS denied it is defrauded. Just as it
takes the warm sunshine to bring out the
beauty of the flower, so the soul of a
child and especially the soul of
woman child, must have the warmth Of
affection, continuous and never failing,
TO develop the graces which make it
'clean and sweet
We know not what cares, what sor-
rows, what aggravations, made this odd
man cross and cranky" 1t may be we
would forgive him if we knew him. In
any event he is to be profoundly pi'ied,
for clearly and frankly his crossneSs and
cranliness, robbing his daughter of the
home JOYS which were r9htully her due,
eventually sent her to the bad.
Amidst the worries. the stress and the
dsappointments of life it is often hard
to preserve a sweetened temper at home.
But it is what the parents must do, or at
least try to the limit to do, if the chill

Nature in her silent, beautiful way,
teaches us many lessons She does not
force a moral upon us. We may drink
to her loveliness and take or leave the
lesson as we please. A man must have
something of the child in his heart to feel
the splendor of the horizon, the mag
nifcence Of the stars. the mystery Of the
woods, the JOYOUS dignity Of the fertile
sunit meadows; and having the child's
heart to feel, he will have the child's faith
to see, and whatever his sorrow. nature
shall hea, il, Whatever mis- perplexity na-
ture shall solve it. Men have set heir

In this dav Of cheap literature the very
best OF reading matter IS within reach of
every family. The current magazines
and the very best of agricultural papers
may be had at a very trifing cost. and
these should be found in every farm
home. A comfortable sitting room made
warm and light should invite the children
to spend Their evenings by the fireside.
Unless these things are furnished at
home it is only natural that the young
people should seek them elsewhere. and
after an evening spent out amid life and
gayety the hoys and girls often return to
their cold and uninviting homes. We
believe that many boy has formed his
first resolve to quit the farm when crawl
ing into cold bed in chilly and clam
my bed room after he has spent an even

festvity in the city or village. Give the
children plenty OF home comforts and
make the farm hreside the brightest and
most interesting place on earth and the
young people will learn to love the farm
and cling to it rather than TO seek the
ephemeral joys of life in town.

Every man who is blessed with good
wife knows that large measure OF his
success, usefulness and elevation is to be
attributed to the companion of his choice.
1t is not possible for all women to be
learned or to keep pace III the intel
lectua improvement of their husbands.
but they can study to gam discretion and
proper control of the tongue. If they
temper their speech with charity, if they
cultivate loving thoughts and express
them in words of kindness and sympa-
thy, they are sure to promote spirit Of
harmony and good feeling in the home
and in the social circle in which they
move.
