Quits Newspaper Business

Our old friend. Jay F. Johnson of tie
Ordway New Era. announced last week
that he had disposed of the paper which
ne had in seven years built up from a
dinky little sheet to one of the Invest and
newsest newspa pers in the valley. The
new proprietors are Messrs Gffin and
Cutter. the former an experienced news
paper man and the latter auditor of the
National Sugar Manufacturing Co.
Brother Johnson's reason for quitting
the newspaper business was because it
was getting the best of his nerves-a
complaint that gets the most of US in
time-but our best bet is that he'll be
back in editorial harness after a good
rest. during which he'll try TO get back
those flaxen locks such as used to thatch
his intellectual dons when he first enter
ed the newspaper game. OF course there
s no hope that this laudable ambition
will be realized. Jay is versatile and
handy sort of cuss and may make his
oald pate fit in with coupon-clipping job
hat will make it shine with respectable
glory. condition that we heartily hope
may be his lot.

GOOD ROADS
Have Created Stupendous Amount o.
New Business in This Country.

Enormous development OF the
financial side OF the road movement
shown in the fact that 1880 counties
in the United States now have out
standing highway bonds aggrcgating
quarter OF a billion dollars, accord

Book for 1914 which has just been
issued by the American Highway AS
ISOLATION in Washington.
The fact that the counties mention
ed have bonded themselves to the ex-
tent OF 4 quarter of a billion dollars
in order to improve and maintain
their roads is only one of the surpris-
ing developments OF the road move
ment as shown by the latest Year
Book. \ stupendous new business is
shown to have grown up in the Uni
ted States as result OF the road
boom-a business employing more
than one thousand persons in actual
supervision OF the roads, in addition
to the increase in banking business.
due 10 handling bonds, increases in
the road machinery and materials,
and the other by-products of the
boom Not merely has there been a
tremendous saving in the wear and
tear on horses and in the prevention
of waste on the farm due to the ina
bility to get 10 the shipping points
over poor roads. but there has been
an actual increase in prosperity as a
result of the need for work and ma
terials on the construction OF new
roads and the improvement OF old

Our Imagination.

We worry a lot over troubles tina,
sever materialize. The greater part of
our woes lives in our imagination. On
that we waste our strength and nerve
force, leaving rather weak prop on
which to lean in real adversely. Trou-
BILE we must meet-that is inevitable
but we do not have TO live it through
twice. the first time in imagination. A
fear of what the future contains is a
clog upon our heels and prevents the
achievement Of many an important
deed.
