WASTE WORK ON ROADS
Ignorance Kills Many Good Inten

AT the Ozark Trails Association
in session Tuesday at Independ-
ence, Kas., William FL. Seed, a
road expert of Nevada, Mo-, said
that the highways of the United
States are suffering from igno-
ramusitis.
We are spending 18 million
dollars annually in this country to
maintain 2 million miles of dirt
roads, and 10 per cent of these
roads are efficiently maintained
1t costs every county in the Unit
ed States an average of $4,000
annually for the spring and fall
blowing of the highways, because
We turn loose upon the roads mer
who forget all the principles of ma.
ture and expect to make dirt roat
compact and travel fit by plowinl
and narrowing it till it is as sof
as the field on the other side o.

There are two people we mus
eliminate if we are to get our mon
ey's worth the grating exper
and the hopeless ignoramus. The,

A feature of the lamb trade here
today was the sale of 70 head oi
lambs from Claiborne County,
Miss, averaging 81 pounds al
$1,000 per cwt., the highest price
ever paid on this market fol
lambs from that State. Sixty
eight head of clipped ewes averag
ing So lbs. brought 5000, also /
good price for their kind. T. II
Bass, who, with his brother,
raised and marketed these sheep
and lambs, was on the market,
and expressed himself as more
than pleased with results obtained.
Mr. Bass has been resident OF
Mississippi for only three years,
but in that short time has sized up
the live stock possibilities of that
section with remarkable precision
and judgment. Mississippi is
going to become one of the great
est livestock states in the Union, ;"
he emphatically remarked. My
going into the sheep business
this year was only an experiment
and 1t has proven a successful one.
There is no reason why Mississip-
pi should not equal, if net sur
pass, northern states in the pro-
duction of this class of stock, as
well as cattle and hogs. The
lambs sold for US today were drop
ped since January 18th this year,
and had no grain and but little
attention of any kind They SIM
ply followed their mothers on the
open range, which has been in
good shape this season. st. Louis

The Memories Of Fifteen Years Ago.

On one morning years ago,
| school did start you know,
Just rural school near Hub
bard Salem town;
had students true and brave,
Since, some slumber in their
graves,
Still others left and roamed this
weary earth around.
Time is fitting fast away,
Mixing gold with silver gray,
While l often turn to view
vacant chair;
Then my heart is rent in twain,
AS ! walk down sorrows lane,
Wondering why the Lord has
plucked them all so fair.
! could hear those students
laughing,
As they said farewell to me,
And beyond the old log building.
A lone grave yard | could see;
There the sun rose in his splendor,
While / taught the students tender
Many truths that make them
nearer now to me.
When the school close came at last,
Pleasant memories | hold fast,
There | met the children at the
schoolhouse door; .
And the patrons gathered round,
Smiles on every face / found.
Though miss the ones that
I've been longing for.
Now ! whisper Students dear,
Where's your class matesfy
They're not here. -
Then the world seems lost and
sadness comes to me,
For they point out to the spot
In the church yard S little lot,
Where they sleep who mean so
|
very much to me.
Icould hear those children singing
As they said farewell" to me,
And beyond the old log building
Alone grave yard ! could see;
There the sun rose in his splendor,
While taught the students tender
Many truths that make then
dearer now to me.

and other foreigners in Mexico.
This latest note is understood to

It Vas dispatched so quickly after the
receipt Of Carranza's reply that the
Unted States had determined in ad-
yan6e to make representations for the
unrestricted passage Of Americans
andlother foreigners from Mexico City
to Vera Cruz.
CArranza's denial that General OBJ

which went forward by request that

MURDER PRoMINEAI-AMER,cA~
stars And Stripes Float Over Man
Zapata Forces XIII

.
Washington-John B. McManus, a
prominent American in Mexico, was
shot and killed in his home by Zapata
troopers as they were occupying the
Mexican capital after evacuation by
Gen. obregon's Carranza forces.
Official dispatches from the Brazil
Ian minister in Mexico City reporting
the affair to the state department, say
the American flag was floating over
McManus' house and that his doors
had been closed and sealed by the
Brazilian consul. The Brazilian minis
ter's dispatch indicated that the kill
ing may have been one Of revenge,
for 1t was charged that when Zapata
troops recently occupied the capital
McManus had killed three Of their
number.
The fact that the American flag
had been hoisted over the house and
the doors had been sealed by the con-
sui of a neutral power was taken by
the officials here to indicate that ell
ther McManus felt that he was in dan
ger or that all foreigners were fear
full of their safety with the entry of
the Zapata. troops and took steps for
protection. The killing Of the Amer
lean is described in the official dis
patches as having caused great emo
ton in the foreign colony. McManus
originally was from Chicago.
