We need not say we are without
good friends when good books ar, at
our disposal. We need not complain
that we lack teachers, when the
shelves of the library ar, weighted
with books containing information on
every imaginable subject. One can.
not excuse himself for falling snort
because he has no counselors. There
are books which cover every phase
of conduct of life, beginning with
the Book of books the infalllblc guide
where character is concerned. The
best thing that man has dug out In
the ages he has been on earth sIe
locked up in books. They are waiting
ready for you when you need them

the latest study of life expectancy

golden existence in the realm of
sometime as much as ever since the
time Methuselah inspired the hope

children better than our parents took
care Of us, but we do not take care
of ourselves so we'll. Thus, the life
expectancy of q child at the age OF
four has been increased nearly IL
years. BY comparison with some sta
tistics of 1882 1t appears that the
child may expect to live to be near
ly 81 instead of only Al. But after

one may expect to live only 20 years
where a in 1882 the expectancy was
more than 81 years. After that the

State Road Commissioner Petersen
met with the live members Of tho
Industrial Club and citizens on Fri
day evening to discuss the speci-l
road tax for another year The on
dition Of the present road was in such
an incomplete state that we would
lose much of the money expended on
it the past two years, unless we
vote for the special tax another year
and complete the road in good shape.
The vote was almost unanimous in
favor Of the tax, although there is
much injustice in the present state
road special tax laws. 1t looks now
like the special road tax will operate
a great deal like the consolidation Of
schools operated. The progressive
districts that by special tax put their
state road in good shape will inst
begin to enjoy the fruits of their
labor and tax in good roads, when
the bonding spirit will take hold Of
the county and those districts who
have been specially assessing them
selves and have good roads will be
bonded to build roads in the districts
that have bad roads as a result of
their fear of a special tax but we
would sooner have the unjust dou-
BILE tax than to have impossible roads
So we vote for them.

Veblen, June 9.-The body of
George LaCroix, horribly mangled,
was found lying beside the Tyler
farm, near here, early Sunday morn
ing. The exact cause of his death is
unknown, as while he was still alive
when found, but never regained con
seriousness and died at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. LaCroix drove to the
farm of Mr.. Thomas, where the latter
gave him a check for a saddle he had
purchased, and he then left for the
farm of ole Bergen, another neigh
Dor. He was not seen again until he
was found by the roadside, uncon-
scious. He had not been robbed, for
the check Thomas had given him was
still in his clothing, with considerable
money. The team ran on to Bor-
gems farm ad stopped and it is as
sumed LaCroix, who was addicted to
reckless driving had been thrown
from the wagon and dragged for a
considerable distance. He was of
French and Indian descent, and had
no relatives in this section of the
