Three important bulletins dealing
with various phases Of road building
in Missouri, have been issued by Col.
Frank w. Buffum, state highway
commissioner.
One of these bulletins, q copy Of
which was sent to each county high
way engineer and the presiding JUS
tice of each county court, deals with
the subject of filing acquisitions and
preparing plans to obtain state aid.
Attention is called to the fact that
acquisitions for state aid should be
sent in at once. August is the last
day for filing them.
In order that t here may be no
hitch, Commissioner Buffum suggests
that all plans, specifications, profiles
and the acquisitions be sent direct to
the auditors office.
There is 100000 to be divided be-
between the counties fling plans and
acquisitions.
The second bulletin relates to the
time for dragging roads and clear
ing highways Of weeds and brush.
The plan as set forth will result
in uniform condition Of the inter.
county seat roads.
The third bulletin is addressed to
all of the commercial clubs in Mis-
souri,, and calls attention to various
plans for road betterment.
Several suggestions will meet the
unqualified Endorsement of automo-
bilists who have made tours of the
state during the last three months of
rainy weather, as 1t deals largely
with the elimination of the mud
hole"

Galloway building Roads.

Word comes to the capital from
Fulton that w. Ed. Jameson, presi-
dent of the Old Trails Road Associa-
ton, at the good roads meeting in
Fulton, said at least $4,000 would be
expended on the Galloway section of
the road this year. Most of the money
has been subscribed and the state
and county could make up the rest.
Frank w. Buffum, state highway
commissioner, reviewed the work of
convicts and tractors. Presiding Judge
II D. Farmer of the county court said
his department would give all pos
sible aid.
A delegation from the east end of
the county, who said road work there
was delayed because land owners re-
fused to widen the highways to 60
feet, were assured by Commissioner
Buffum that a recent ruling of the
appellate court would take care Of
that matter without condemnation
proceedings.

SHOULD not
HAVE MOVED
Story of a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained a very inter
esting account Of the experiences Of a
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up q home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences Of a few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with small amount Of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons
and Swell" top buggy and eleven
head of cattle. He continues, How
ever, l was not satisfied. l had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and I thought it
would get cheaper, so began to think
that homesteading as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as matter
of fact had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and more, we had now
four mich cows, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had a cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance Of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but l could
not see all that; i had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
set the price on the land at SO, 900
cash. / could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so came
down until l finally sold for $1,400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The nipple
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have a homestead in Mon.
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth of honest debts.
True, we have a half section in
place Of quarter, but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up see where
made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum.
stances as we were before we made
the change. 1t is FIVE years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplat
ing a change of location is to think
twice before you act, and If your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad
stay by your bush till you pick II

WILL BECOME SUPERINTENDENT
OF INDUSTRIES AT THE MIS-

jefferson CITY

JEFFERSON City.
= 1t has become definitely known that
L. F Parker will accept the position
OF superintendent of industries at the
state penitentiary.
The position was rendered him
some weeks ago by the unanimous
vote of the state board of prison in
spectors and warden, but at that time
he could not give a definite answer.
The position pays an annual salary
of $4,000, the same as the governor.
For 26 years Mr.. Parker operated
factories within the walls of the peni-
tentiary. There were number of ap-
plicants for this place, but the board
decided from the start that only a
man of extensive business knowledge
and actual experience and one who
was familiar with prison conditions
would be employed. 1t is the under
stacking that the board will meet and
f61icially announce the appointment.
Parker is known to have decided
ideas concerning the Missouri peniten-
tiary and the laws under which 1t
must be operated.
1t is known that he will favor the
purchase by the state of a farm of at
least 1000 acres and devote the same
exclusively to raising such foodstuffs
as the prison consumes. He is not op-
posed to working prisoners on the
public highway.
The state has some 1000 convicts
out of nearly 200 for whom it can
not find any profitable means of en-
ployment.

$S,4OO,000. The production of walnut
lumber amounted to about 100000
feet, it being the most valuable timber
Missouri placed on the market. In
addition there were many thousand
feet of walnut shipped out in the
form of logs This species of timber
is in great demand at the present
!. time In Europe where it is used to
mSpufaeture stocks for rifles and for
other war purposes.
The 1914 Missouri output OF oak
lumber amounted approximately to
AIS, 100000 feet; of maple, 100000
feet; red gum, 100000 feet; poplar,

unanimous endorsement of president

at home and abroad, as has been
given to President Wilson.
If he renders no service other than
to conduct the ship of state safely
into the harbor of peace, he will have
rendered a service to the American
people which no sextant can measure,
and for which the present and future
generations viii ever bless him. In
his grasp OF human affairs he has
been able to face and meet every sit

With the full Endorsement of the

at whose instigation it was made, the
telling film, The Inside Of the White
Slave Traffic will be exhibited at the
Hawaii theater for a short engage

Dealing with a question that has
been prominent before the public for
a number of years past, and a sub
ject which has called for legislation
in almost every state in the Union
and by the national legislators, this
picture has called forth q great deal
of comment. 1t has been made the
