Our Advertisers

Your attention is called to the
change in the advertisements in
this issue and also to the new ones.
The merchants of llaclede appreci-
ate your trade and take this means
of telling you of any bargains they
may have to offer and also to an
nounce the arrival of new goods
which are placed at your disposal
and inspection. By closely watch
ing the columns of The BLADE you
will learn the names of our busi-
ness men who invite you to deal
with them and you can rest assured
that they will treat you right. A
merchant who does not care enough
for your trade to ask you to visit
his store and who does not inform
you Of the many bargains he may
have to offer is hardly worth your
patronage. The progressive mer-
chant will always let his customers
know Of the arrival of new goods
at once, and the way for our mer-
chants to do this is through the
column of THE BLADE which goes
into almost every home in Laclede
and surrounding territory.

Cemetery improvements

Substantial improvements have
recently been made to Laclede' s
beautiful and we'll kept cemetery
by the erection of new fence
around the entire plot. Three
sides are new posts, woven wire

front on the south there is an
ornamental iron fence of handsome
design. AT the entrance there is a
massive iron post on either side of
the driveway with an arch over.

"Laclede Cemetery" This work
was completed last week under the
direction of Alderman G. E.
Hilton, chairman of the park and
cemetery committee of the city
council. Other improvements
under consideration includes a
cement walk through the new
addition with a graveled drive way
leading from the entrance to old

The School Election

In the school election last Tues
day L. F. Moore and H. w. Lomax
were elected members of the board
of directors without opposition
There were only five votes cast
against the levy of one dollar oD
each $100 assessed valuation of the
district. School was dismissed
that day and the election was held
in the school building. Directors j q.
B. Jones, j. B. Carothers and A.
Brandehl spent the day at the
school building and showed the
voters through every room that all
might see the great need of imme-
diate repairs to the ceilings, wall
coatings and floors. The building
has been in use now thirteen years
and to put it in first class condition
again and complete the basement
rooms that are needed it will neces-
state the expenditure of between
eight hundred and one thousand
dollars. The voters will be asked
to provide this amount at special
election to be held in the neal
fntnra.

The Highway Commission MuddIe

Attorney G. G. Bigger is in re-
ceipt of notice from the clerk Of
the state supreme court stating
that the motion for rehearing filed
by Attorney General Barker in the
matter Of w. B. Flowers against
the judges of the Linn county
court had been oyerruled. This
should settle the matter of who
constitutes the membership of the
Linn county highway commission.
It will be remembered that w. B.
Flowers, Frank Dick and Frank
Trumbo were appointed according
to the statute creating the board of
county highway commissioners.
After they had received their COM
missions and entered upon duty
two members of the court decided
they did not want Mr.. Flowers on
the board and discharged him and
substituted j. M. Black of Linneus.
The matter was taken to the su-
preme court where an opinion was
rendered that the court had no
authority of law to remove Mr..
Flowers and ordered the court
records amended. The Linneus
bunch that did not want Meadville
represented on the board appealed
to the attorney general and ne filed
a motion for a rehearing. The
supreme court judges hold there is
no grounds for a rehearing and
have over-ruled the motion. JUS
tice. and right at last prevails and
Mr.. Flowers is a member OF the
county highway commission. Mr..
Flowers was represented by Attor-
neys G. c. Bigger and 0. F. Libby
of Laclede.

A Great Revival

After a three weeks run the
Hankins- Howey meetings at the
Methodist church closed last Sun
day night, The attendance was
good all the time but interest had
reached such a high stage that the
house was packed at each service
toward the close. Many who had
not even been church attendants
heretofore humbled themselves at
the altar and sought divine grace,
Forty-seven professed faith and
were converted and four back
sliders were reclaimed. At the
Sunday service a class of twenty
fiye were baptized by the pastor
and entered upon the probationary
term. Rev. Hankins is a forceful
preacher and being ably assisted
by the pastor, Rev. Mendenhall,
who is a splendid evangelist him
self, stirred the community as it
had not been aroused before in
many years. The singing under
direction Of Prof. Howey was an
important factor in the meeting
Rev. Hankins home is at Spring
dale, Arkansas, and Prof. Howey
lives at Kirksville.

OCEAN TO OCEAN WAY
LacIede on First TranscOntinental
Highway Laid Out

Laclede is on the Ocean to
Ocean, highway, the first trans
continental highway to be laid out.
AT conference held at st. Joseph
two weeks ago the Pixies Peak
Ocean to Ocean Highway Associ-
ton" was organized and its course
is from New York through New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, District OF
Columbia, Maryland, West -Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, con-
meeting with the White Cross
Highway" at Hannibal and follow
ing this trail through Missouri to
st. Joseph, thence through Kansas,
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Cali
fornia and to San Francisco, the
western terminal.
Chas. F. Adams, of Chillicothe,
was elected president of the new
association, and r, S. Brownlee OF
Brookfeld and j. P. Hinton OF
Hannibal were elected members of
the executive committee to repre-
sent the White Cross highway.
It is claimed for this transconti-
mental route that it is the central
and most direct across the country.
On the map it follows the same
latitude and appears as nearly
straight line as the contour of the
country will permit. 1t traverses
sections of great commercial
activity and agricultural diversity.
It touches spots of great historic
interest and many of its links are
the twentieth century successors OF
the pioneer or Indian trails. 1t is
the line of great scenic wonders,
crossing the heart of the Rockies
through Colorado's most famous
section. ITS crossing of the con-
tinental divide up Tennessee Pass
of O,400 feet is on a four per
cent grade.
The organization has been per-
fected and tourists will be invited
to travel over this new transcon-
tinen4al highway.
The coming summer there will
be passing through Laclede cars
from every part of the country be-
tween New York and San Francisco
and no doubt some from foreign

THE LAST GREAT WAR.

Ex-President Taft. in speaking Of
the present war. expresses the opin.
ion that 1t will be the last great war
and thinks that the remedy will be
worth what 1t costs If the present con.
flict in Europe appals the world into
peace! He says.
Nothing Like it has occurred since
the great Napoleonic wars. and with
modern armaments and large popula.
tions nothing has occurred like 1t
since the world began.
1T Is a cataclysm. II Is a retro
grade step in Christian civilization. IL
will be difficult to keep the various
countries of the Balkans out OF the
war, and Greece and Turkey may take
part in 1t. ALI Europe is to be bat
tleground
One thing think we can reasona-
bly, count on is that with the prostra-
tion OF industry, with the blows to
prosperity, with the state Of flux that
is likely to follow this titanic struggle,
there will be every opportunity for
common sense to resume its sway;
and after the horrible expenditure Of
the blood of the best and the savings
Of the rich and poor, the opportunity
and the motive for reduction of arm
ament and the taking away of tempta'
ton to further war will be greatly en-
hanced

Now there may be some places
where the gloom Of war has settled
down 50 heavily as TO Hut criinp IN
the hopes, ambitions and efforts OF
folks but Grady county is not 20 be
numbered among those faint-hearted
localities. The fact Is that this county
is going right ahead regardless Of the
great conflict across the seas.
Strong evidence Of this fact is found
ir the action Of the merchants and
other business men or Chlckasha In
getting down to real business on the
GOOD roads proposition. We have talk
ed roads SO long and done SO little
that probably many Of Us don't realize
how much it means to make serious
beginning in a movement having for
its object first class highways all over
the county. The initial step is to be
a model road to Verden, to be built
by the combined efforts Of the people
along the line and the two towns at
the ends of it. With this road conf
pletes and serving as an object les
son, 1t ought to be comparatively easy
10 keep the good work going on.
Another Indication that Grady couil-
ty and Chickasha are stirring is the
decision to hold county exhibit Of
farm products and to send a display
of our best products TO the state fair.
This enterprise is to be carried out
by the efforts and the money OF
Chickasha business men but II is a
matter Of county wide importance. 1t
is to be hoped that the farmers will
cooperate with Chickasha in making
the exhibit complete success.
While definite plans have not yet
been formulated. 1t is safe to say that
Arrangements will be made to handle

IT'S UP TO DR.. MAHR.

In recent article in Everybody's s
Magazine a writer takes a severe rap
at the state of Oklahoma for it's many
drug victims. The article is evidently
written from rather unfriendly view
point but figures are given to show
the number Of insane in the different
states whose insanity is attributed to
the use Of drugs and these figures are
absolutely startling. Oklahoma heads
the list of the states of the Union in
the percentage of insane from the use
of drugs. In New York state there is
one drug fiend in every 5S6 insanity
cases and in Oklahoma one to every
nine.
The article in Everybody's attempts
to make case out against prohibition
from these figures. What he doesn t
tell is the absolute disregard for the
drug laws in this state and the fact
that the laws against the sale OF habit
forming drugs are quite generally en-
forced In New York and older states.
There has never been any attempt
since statehood to enforce the laws
against the sale Of habitforining
drugs. The state health department
is fully aware Of the conditions exist
ing in the state but apparently doesn't
want to make anyone mad by com
peiling compliance with the law
If there is any one law on the books
which ought to be rigidly enforced it's
the law against the sale Of habit-form-
ing drugs without the proper prescrip-
tion, for the result Of indiscriminate
sale Of such drugs is a terrible charge
against the state. -Muskogee Times
