pampered, kept too warm, allowed life
Of leisure.
Man loses his pep" much the same

Too Rank an Egg.

The California legislature resolutes
congress to buy the Western Pacific rail-
road and operate it as test of the FEAST
bility of government ownership Of rail-
roads. Which is kind in the California
legislature.
Rotten Encouragement and specula-
ton have put the Western Pacific in the
hands of receiver. Congress is asked
to take broken egg and see what sort
of chicken it can raise therefrom.
The proposition implies tremendous

Many people believe that q city
OF this sine has enough schools to

also claim that our city Is superior
to many other cities Of this size
In this branch OF education. Let US
compare Berne. the capital OF one
OF the smallest countries In the
world. with Detroit. Berne has .
population Of 10000 II has i've
trade schools which offer special
training for Industrial pursuits.
These apprentices are all public
school graduates, as the Law OF Swift
seriand compels all boys and girls
to attend school from six to 10 years
OF age. This school not only gives
instruction useful for their trades.

part OF their trades. Tuition and

HIGHWAYS
Are to be Improved Under
The Supervision of The
County Board

The Board of County Com
missioners has taken up the
matter of better roads for this
county and with that end in
view, have already commenced
work.
Two new road graders have
been purchased and were un-
loaded this week at Plains, where
road work is now in progress.
AS many county roads as in
the judgment of the County
Board seem advisable will be es'
tablished, and competent man
will be employed TO Oversee the
work.
The need OF better roads has
long been felr and we are GLAD
to know that the Commissioners
of Meade county are among the
first IN the state to take up the
matter.
1t is the duty Of every taxpayer
in the county to cooperate with
the Com missloners in this un-
dertaking.
There is no better advertise
ment for any immunity than
good roads, and they are some
thing that everyone is interested
in baylpg. The County board
has started the work, and with
the assistance OF the people,
they will be enabled to continue
it to successful close.
