affair
AT the meeting OF the Ways and
Means Committee during the Legis-

member sthat the tax rate of 90
cents was not sufficient and suggest
cd that it be made 20 cents, which
would have met the appropriation
The majority ruled and the rate was
cut TO the present figure. 1t was hg-

the money getters, as it was shown
that approximately $4,000 annually
could be made for the state with
county bonds bearing 6 per cent in
terest. 1t is up to the counties to
get the coin from this source.
Another optional bili ; the Rus

ections and the issuing OF road bonds
by the different counties which would
add good roads TO their list Any
county can. by complying with the
law, secure money to carry on the
work contemplated.
The 100000 appropriation made by
the Legislature IS admitted small
sum toward state road building
Some OF the counties through which
the highway would run would absorb
many times this amount as a whole
without making state highway.
Twice this amount could be spent in
this county alone, and the roads are
far better here than in many sections.
Under either the Russell bill or the
Sullivan law each and every county
may take up good road building and
at rate of interest that will not
swamp the ship 1t now remains to
be seen which county avails itself of
the coin that is otherwise idle in the
State Treasury.

Stale Highway Legislation
And What is Possible
Money May be Secured Under Two
Provisions Provided by
Recent Legislation

There is great deal OF comment
pro and con concerning the Govern
ors action in vetoing the State High
way laws that were passed at the
late legislative session. The opinions
differ in many respects but the one
fact remains that the state rate was
not raised sufficiently to make the ap-
preparation possible at this time.
Ormsby County along with some
other ten counties suffers from this
lack oi funds and some oi the con-
templated road work will be abandon
ed. unless action is taken along other
lines.
During the work OF the late session
of the law makers, the Sullivan State
Loan Bill was passed. This new law
aims 70 loan idle money row in the
Treasury. and which will continue to
come in, to the counties that so desire
providing an election is held and

directly aimed TO bring more coin
into the State Treasury. BY loamng

cent. the state benefits. and the coun-
ties can get the money without shad-
ing off their securities 10 curbmen
and brokers The entire profits re-
main within the state.
Should this county. for instance
wish o improve the roads and secure
the coin for such action. II would be
possible TO issue Ormsby County
bonds up To a certain amount OF the
taxable property. get the money from
the state and pay q per cent interest.

one that is beneficial both to the state
and county This money to any sum
within reason can be applied to roas
no,I or any Other county imp 0ve-
nien. Other counties within the
state can follow the same example.
Ry doing this the objection filed by
some that in a state appropria-
tion that one county pays for the
benefits Of neghbor is left out.

In this mysterious providence we
discern the hand OF Him "who doeth

Whereas, Death has once more
entered our ranks and removed our
much beloved sister and friend

surance that our loss Is her eternal

the bereaved family our expressions
of deepest sympathy,

TEEN for the departed, we place
these resolutions upon the minutes

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Auta OZoriO left Monday
morning to attend Cape Girardeau
Normal.
The Board of Education tran
sacted the regular business Thurs
day evening of last week.
Visitors OF last week were Mrs.
Zolman and Mr.. Elmer Bowling, be-
sides those who have been men
toned elsewhere In these notes.
Troy Whitener presented to the
Library ten volume set of "Mes-
sages and Papers ofthe Presidents. !"
This is a valuable addition to the
Library.
DR.. Harmon gave the students of
the High School building, including
the Seventh and Eighth grades, an
other very interesting and impress
sive talk last Thursday morning.
The Seventh Grade again has the
best attendance with percentage
1915. The Eighth Grade Is second
with 97.4 and Primary Room North
Ward next with 81 per cent, Room
3 South Ward is close In the race.
Rev, V. E. Patterson, a visiting
pastor from Illinois, was present
for the morning exercises Monday
morning of this week and addressed
the High School. We were glad to
make his acquaintance and to have
him with us.
The teachers examination which
was held In the High School build.
ing Friday and Saturday Of last
week was unusually well attended.
Seventy-five or eighty took the ex-
aminations, Five or six OF the girls
OF our High School were among this
number.
Mrs. Rider visited the st. Louis
schools Thursday and Friday OF
last week. Miss Auta OzoriO sub
stituted for Mrs. Rider during her
absence. Several months ago the
board gave each teacher permission
to take two days during the term to
visit other schools, This we be-
lieve will he quite helpful to those
who desire to keep in touch with the
other schools and bring the best in
to our own schools.
Rev. &. f.. Hickok visited room 4
of the North Ward Wednesday OF
last week and gave the Geography
classes very instructive and ap.
preciated talk on the subject Of Vel.
lowstone Park. Rev. Hickok Wis
tied the park short time ago and
secured number of views which he
used to illustrate his talk. Such in
terest and helpfulness from others
than our regular teachers adds much
to the value of school work. Pupils
take new interest, which necessarily
brings better results.
Principal Meyers went to Freder.
lcktown last Saturday to Judge the
debate between Flat River and Fred
ericktown High Schools. Debates
were also held In Flat River and
Bonnie Terre on the same evening
and the same question, Resolved
that the women of Missouri should
be given the right to VOTE" was de.
bated. Each school selected -four
representatives, two OF whom re-
NAMED at home and defended the
question, and the other two went to
another school and debated the neg.
alive side Of the question. We are
informed that Flat River won the
affirmative at home and the mega
tive In Fredericktown, while Bonnie
Terre maintained the Affirmative at
home. Pennington had planned to
take part in this debate, but stu
dents and teachers we're so busy nj
the time set we felt justified In not
taking on the extra work.
