The writer of these lines believes
as firmly in good roads as any one,
but we are never going to have
GOOD roads in this country under
the present system. 1t has been
tried and found wanting, very sadly
wanting. What can we hope for
when all over the country the work
put on the roads Is only patchwork
that is to be done all over again
when the next hard rain comesY
Nothing, except an eternal repeti-
ton of the same old patchwork.
No permanent roads are made. We
can't even maintain the patchwork
we put on the roads, because It has
to be done over again, Aesin, we
do q greater per cent OF our road
work at the wrong time-just when
we are not busy at anything else,
and no difference what condition
the road or the ground Is in at the
time. How long will we oil stand
for this wasteY Let's take the road
tax and make some permanent
road; road that we can 90 of and
leave with the knowledge that 1t
won't Oct away while we are gone,
even If 1t is only hundred yards at
A time. II that policy had been
pursued all these years we have
been paying road tax we would
now have the benefit Of some good
road. Let the road tax be spent In
permanent roads, and let the free
labor do the patchwork.

J. s. Steeby, a farmer living near
Ash Flat, recently visited the G. W.
Moser roller mill and took away a
Quantity of that mills second grade
flour. Mrs. Steeby manufactured
some light bread from this flour
and entered the cooking at the
county fair, recently held at Ash
Flat, a n d notwithstanding there
were exhibits of the same sort from
three different counties, she took
first premium on the bread. This
fact is a splendid advertisement for
the Moser mill. The flour furnish
ed Mr.. Steeby was from the regular
run, the miller not knowing that he
had any intention of making an
entry at the fair from it.
Candidates for office are announc-
ing in the papers in all the coun-
ties surrounding Sharp, but our
aspirants for public places seem
backward and bashful. And we
guess that is about the best thing
for all concerned. A long cam
paien is certainly not a pleasant or
profitable thing for either the can
didates or the voters, and the voters
right now have a great deal to do
that will bring them better returns
than political thunder or political
excitement. 1t looks that the av-
erage office-seeker could Get all the
running he wants or needs without
beginning to run six or seven
months in advance of the primaries.

LIFE INSURANCE COMP MES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An. examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panicS. in an interview on the subject
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid
ney trouble Is so common to the Amer
lean people, and the large majority OF
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have
the disease.
According to this it would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties
would he blessing to thousands.
Dr. Kilmer 4 Co., Binghampton, ~
Y, who prepare Dr Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the well known kidney. liver and
bladder remedy, claim that judging
from evidence received from druggists
everywhere, who are constantly In
touch with their customers, and also
indiSputable proof in the form of CRATE
ful testimonial letters from thousands
of reliable citizens, this preparation Is
remarkably successful in sickness
caused BY kidney and bladder troubles.
Every interesting statement they re-
ceivr regarding Swamp-RoOt is inves,
tigatrd and no testimonial is published
uless the party who sends 1t is report
ed Of good character. They have on
file many sworn statements of recov-
cries in the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. Kilmer's swamp
Root is mild and gentle in its action
and it's healing influence is soon no
ticcd in most cases.
swamp Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR. Kilmer Il Co. ad-
wise all readers who feel in need of
such remedy TO give it trial. II is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of

His elevation To office has not de-
tracted from his usual good sense, he

ness of heart that he has THESE
traits of character will lead him into
the paths OF successful career OF
the bench. He is man big enough
To preside over any office in tn
hands of the people Ia give. AS
campaigner he is probably withou
an equal in the state, Some of thes'
DAYS he will go higher up, and whel
he does, the people will listen, 10

who had been engaEod to preach a
charity sermon for some orphan chill
dren, on rising TO deliver his discourse,
was unable TO proceed from failure OF
strength. Stretching out a feeble arm
over the group OF orphans, and turning
10 the congregation. he addressed them
thus: Whence shall We buy bread

than the longest sermon. the congre'
