Miss May HOfreihter has a full
school at Pisgah. She has a new
chair, and desk, the weeds have beer
cut, and work has begun on the new
fence. The house viii be painted al
so.
Miss Vivian Littrell has q pupils
at Sames. The house has been paint
ed inside, the stove BACKED. and part
Of the weeds have been cut. They
will have a supper and buy new
books. They expect other improve
ments.
At Macedonia, Miss Marguerite
Wright has a full school. The weeds
have been cut, the outbuildings clean
ed, and the house scrubbed. They
had a big box supper Friday night
with an interesting program, clear
ing more than $40. They will buy
Hooks and other needed equipment
They will also build a closet for the
boys
Saturday was a great day for the
schools. At Centralia was held a
real live corn judging contest. Fifty
boys nd girls took part in the contest,
and they worked faithfully and earn
estly, many Of them placing the sam
pies correctly. More than half Of the
contestants were from Audrain, rep
resenting about ten schools. And
most of the prizes were won by Aud
rain pupils. Hattie election, Of
Payne school, was the champion girl
Judge, and the grand champion judge,
and Miss Vance won third in the best
girl Judge class. Moss Edwards, of
Cant, won the largest number Of in
dividual prizes. Union school, Of
Boone, won first on school exhibit.
Miss Grace Smith, Of High Hill dis
trict, is the teacher; so Audrain gets
a share Of the credit. She also helped
her school to win $3.50 out of the
s55 offered.
The boys and girls showed some
excellent corn, and considering the
shortness Of the time, for one teacher
said that he had spent but a week on
the work, they made an excellent
showing. And l believe that if they
will continue their work that they
can go to the state contests at Col
umbia in January and win some good
prizes there. Let US try It. And to
encourage them, why not have some
township contests together with our
township teachers meetings between
now and Christmas? Who wants
one?

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

DO colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes1 Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesl
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of SCOTS Emulsion TO guard against
consumption which SO easily follows.
Scott Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in 1t soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
SCOTS is prescribed by the best special-
ists. You can get it at any drug store.

SALINE ROAD BOARD
ALL FARMERS BUT ONE


Marshall, Mo-, Oct. 2s.-The farm
ers. not the townspeople, are leading
IN the campaign to rock 157 miles Of
highways in Saline County, at a cost
Of about l million dollars. This is
something Of a new wrinkle in the
good roads movement in rural Mis-
souri,. The good roads committee Of
the county, which is directing the
preliminary campaign, is composed Of
farmers-with a single exception, G.
A. Radford, merchant and banker
here. The chairman of the COMMITTEES,
Sherman Huston of Malta Bend. Is a
farmer. And it is beause so many Of
the farmers are back Of the move
ment that it is expected the good
roads campaign will be a success.
OF the l millior dollars needed to
hard surface the Saline County roads
along the lines suggested by the good
roads committee, rs per cent win be
spent right here in the county, It Is
estimated. There is plenty of rock in
the county and the cost of hauling the
rock, with the labor, is the big item
in road building. II the bond issue
for good roads is approved, and indi-
cations are most favorable, there will
be work for every mar in Saline
County who wants II for the next two
or three years. This is going to be
one Of the big arguments in the cam
paign that will extend into every cor
ner of Saline.
The good roads boosters are GO
ing about tho matter quietly and
carefully. The cost of every yard of
the 157 miles Of roadways is to be
estimated, and the tax on every acre
Of land in the county computed be-
fore the real campaign is begun.
Some average costs have already
been figured out. The first table
shows the annual payment on a 20
year bond issue sufficient to build the.
1877 miles Of road:
AT Principal 4 per cent Total

$4,000 uni. $4,000 $25,120 $56,52O

keep, at the end Of five years $500;
ten years, $4,000; fifteen years, $780,

Required and the annual cost per
