Government
Road Building

The Federal government is
advocating nation wide system
OF roads to be built by the Post
al Department in cooperation
with the states.
1t is being generally recognized
that one Of the great factors in
the heavy cost of domestic com
modities is the transportation
cost over bad roads in the rural
districts.
The parcels post feature of our
postal system demands good
roads for the rural carries who
now has such greatly increased
burden i'll carrying parcels. that
good roads are required tor the
postal service. Since the rural
carriers are found on practically
all the important roads at pres
ent, if the bill now before Con
gress becomes law, the Union
will be covered with network
OF good roods. facilating not
only postal service but the tran
sportation of agricultural pro-
ducts to the market and the
consumers.

A Public Library.

The great pressing need of Oak
ley is a good Public Library.
When once installed it will take
little to support it. While it's
benefits will be incaculable. 1t
Will prevent much of the idle
waste OF time on the part of the
young, but will provide mental
occupation for the whole com
munity; and, will put loahng out
OF business. A public library will
be the center OF all good activities
tor the community, and it would
also make a good addition to our
town, and a place where the
stranger can pass away little
time when visiting or on business
in Oakley.
Other towns as small as Oakley
have their libraries so let us all
get together and boost it and
see what we can do for our home
town.

An Hour in the
Senate


tors were weary with the de-
bate which had for days brought
under consideration every phase
OF the management of our great
postotfice system.
Senator Cummins was urging
an amendment to curtail the
one-man power of the Post
master General. and at the con
clusion of his speech an attempt
was made to prevent roll call
for fear it would disclose that a
quorum was not present. From
some where came Reed OF Mis-
sour. evidently suffering from
a crouch. and he had hardly
reached the chamber before he
began to talk. There was
snarl in his voice and he intimat-
ed that the express companies
were using Senator's to tie up the

among polite Senators is plain

studying the southwest corner
in manner that might lead to
the suspicion that he was look
ing for white pine forest that
would net him another million.
OF course he was che wing gum,
as he is seldom without his cud.
Possibly he was pondering over
his vote, ond sacred thing with
him, since the Senatorial vocabu-
larry of the octogenarian has been
limited from the out set to "aye"
and mo" and if he ever had q
word or thought beyond that it
has never been expressed, not
even when the Senate was
threatening him with the boot.
Meanwhile Reed continued to
rant. and Cummins was holding
on with both hands to keep him.
