Russell County Acts on Good Roads.
Editor News:

At the session of the Russell County
Fiscal Court last week resolution
was passed for the purpose of obtain
ing State Aid for the permanent i'm
provement and reconstruction of the
public road from jamestown to Rus
sell Springs,
This result:was made possible by the
effortssof the recently organized Com
mercial Club at Russell Springs. ST.
500 has been subscribed, which is to
be turned oven to the county as part
of the road fund. The county appro-
pirate So, 500, making $1,000 in the
road fund for this permanent i'm
provement. This will enable the coun-
ty to obtain 5000 from the State, I'M
der the Act of March, 1914.
A gratifying feature of the situa-
tion is that nearly all the people who
have expressed themselves endorse the
action of the Fiscal Court. Even
those who live in parts of the county
remote from this section of road say
that if we ever have any road improve
ment a beginning must he made some.
where. and that they think the Sec
ton of road selected will benefit prob
ably more people than any other SIM
liar section of road in the county.
The road will be constructed accord
ing to plans and Specifications of the
State Road Department. 1t is esti-
mated that $40, 900 will make the road
from the end of the turnpike near
jamestown to Russell Springs.
| Quite a crowd was present in the
courthouse when the question was
voted on. The interest was great.
After the law had been discussed and
the plan explained, the court was then
called upon to vote on the resolution.
No one in the courtroom knew what
the result was going to be. 1t seemed
that everyone felt that the time was
critical one for Russell County.
When the justices voted unanimously
in favor of the resolution instant ap
plause broke out all over the court
room. 1t was remarked that that was
an unusual scene in the Fiscal Court

parts of the county, fer being among
the first to take advantage of the new
law. There is an occasional doubte

argument is all on the other side.
The only real difficulty that pre-

WHY NOT A CHECK ON THE
BANK OF HAUTEUR? - Do you
know the difference between bank
and an artificial ice plant?
Neither do we.
Whenever we venture into bank
we feel like buttoning our overcoat
tighter and edging up to the steam
pipes.
Why is it, we wonder, that bank
has to generate frigidity, just as an
undertaking parlor generates gloom?
Why do they have to give the COM
mon ordinary man the feeling that
they're extending the icy mitt?
Why can't a bank be just as hui
man as cigar store, or haberdash-
cry, or a billiard hall?
Bankers are just ordinary men;
their clerks are just ordinary clerks.
Why cage 'em in tinsel fences and
surround 'em with marble-pillared
dignity?
They're driving away custom,
these bankers. Lots Of folks feel
real shaky about going in and start
ing a savings account. It took us ten
years to screw up courage to horn
into a bank-and journalists are not
noted for lack of nerve.
Wouldn't the habit of thrift be
helped along if banks weren't so darn
distant in their methods - if they
didn't scare folks away by their giId-
ed gratings and sad solemnity?
Yes, it would.
But perhaps the bankers hauteur
is a good thing for the postal savings
system.
