"A Double Wedding

The fame of Harrisonville as nice
pleasant place in which to be married
has reached even unto the wilds of
southeastern Bates county, and Mon
day four young people from Pleasant
Gap, each one with the love light BEAM
ing from his and her eye, reached this
city on the afternoon Missouri Pacific
train from the south and quickly re-
paired to the county recorders office
where c. A. Reed, in his most suave
and accommodating manner, supplied
them with the necessary documents al
lowing Them to contract marriage. In
a short time they wendell their way
to the home of Rev. Ernest T. Raney
pastor of the M. E. Church, South,
where in double ceremony, he quick
ly united the destinies of Emori w.
Short of Butler and Miss Myrtle
Stubs Of Pleasant Gap, and Lee w.
Baugher and Miss Mary Kaufman of
Pleasant Gap. Those who saw the
happy brides and grooms strolling
around after the ceremony were d.
vided in opinion as to whether it was
a double elopement or whether the
four young people came here to es-
cape the jokes Of friends at Butler.
Pleasant Gap is located several miles
of Butler. -Harrisonville

Perhaps one of the reasons why
Senator Borah of Idaho did not open
the Republican campaign at St. Louis
was that he knew Missourians would
not endorse his fight against the
River and Harbor Bill, in which
Missouri was so vitality interested.
The selection of Borah as Repub-
lican mouthpiece indicates how COM
vletely Missouri Republican leaders
ignore the interests of the State. This
should be remembered on November
3rd.

Senator Stone stood steadfastly by
Missouri interests during the filibust-
er against the River and Harbor Bill,
conducted by three Republican Sena-
tors. There was no compromise for
Stone. When we remember that
Stone was largely responsible for the
adoption Of the present projects for
the improvement of the Missouri and
Mississippi along the Missouri line, it
is not to be expected that he would
look with favor upon any abandon
ment of those projects, and there will
be none while Stone is in the Senate.
Missourians interested in river i'm
provement owe a debt of gratitude
to the senior senator.

fers His Plan to Three

Strong opposition to the operations

the economical and efficient road
work that has been done by Superin-
tendent w. o. Jones is urged upon
the Commercial club by its committee
on taxation.
The report of Fred H. Lemon. chair
man of the committee. is the result of
an investigation which was made by
S. w. Hayes, of the Hayes Track APP
pliance company. Mr.. Hayes found
that the roads in Wayne county cost
about $4,000 a mile when macada-
mized under the three-mile road law.
In Ohio roads are macadamized for
$4,000 to $1,000 a mile, or less than
half, by using the old foundation.
These roads are more satisfactory
than the roads built here, according to
the committee.
The report which is to be presented
to the county commissioners, reads in
part:
Praise w. o. Jones.
"After summing up the results of
our investigations, we recommend:
That in view of the expensive con-
struction of roads under the three
mile road law, and the excellent show
ing that Superintendent Jones is max
ing with a small amount of money at
his disposal in county maintenance,
that we heartily approve the move
