We Want That Road

A good roads meeting was
held at the G.. y. K. hall Monday
evening upon the call of NJ. a.
Freeman, Mansfeld's member
of the committee, organized at
Springfield some time ago for
the good roads building. At the
time of its organization the com.
mittee was working on a rock
road proposition contemplated
to connect Springfield and Nam
moth Spring, Ark. The efforts
of the road boosters now Is more
especially in the interest of the
Springfield St. Louis road.
The Mansfield. Ozark Highway
Association was organized by
eIecting NJ A. Freeman as pres
ident and ". c. Coday as secre.
tary. c. A. Stephens, ]. D.
Reynolds and NJ. f. German
were appointed a committee to
act in conjunction with the pres
ident and secretary in sending
invitations to every town along
the Frisco between Springfield
and Cabool. and also the Texas
county towns through which the
proposed route runs, to a meet.
ing to be held at Mansfield on a
date acceptable to the Greater
Springfield committee, in order
that Springfield might be vel
represented at the meeting.
c. {. Shafer. of Springfield,
representative of the Mountain
Grove Creamery Co. and W. c.
Shannon and f. D. Wilson, OF
Mountain Grove, We're present
at the meeting.
Another meeting. to make
preparations for the big meeting
will be held tomorrow evening.
A strong effort is being made
to have the Ozark Trails. the
automobile road from St. Louis
via Rolla to Springfield, estab,
lished via Lebanon and Marsh
field, instead Of through Noun.
tain Grove and Mansfield. Ac
tive work is now being done 10
behalf Of the Lebanon route.
On account of the law giving
state aid to roads between cOun.
ty seats, the strip of road be-
tween Lebanon and Marshfeld
would have that much Of an ad.
vantage over the road between
Mountain Grove and Mansfield.
However, the road through here
would be worth to the county
vastly more than the cash re.
ceiyed in the state aid. We be.
lieye that sufficient money could
be raised by popular subscrip.
ton to more than Offset what the
other road would receive in state
aid. This is the scenic route,
and the road should go through
here by all means, even if it
goes the other way, too. This
is the beauty spot of the Ozark
Mountains. and no tourist should
be deprived Of the grandeur of
the scenery in this region. In
the Ozarks, "a greater Switzer.
is found some Of the most
scenery in the world.
Then, too, much work has al.
been done on the roads
here recently and the material
is here in abundance for the
making of good, permanent
Another strong argument in
-avor Of the route through here

the path of least resist.

euce. This route is the easiest

count of the soil and natural
conditions. aud the streams
encountered by the other route
are avoided.
Besides all this, in Wright
county is located the state poul.
try experiment station, the only
one of its kind in the world, and
the place where fancy chickens
from all over the world do con
gregate. Then, too We have
the state fruit experiment sta,
ton, the Mecca for fruit grow.
ers from this and neighboring
states. The Mountain Grove
Creamery Co, the third largest
in the state, is also located in
Wright county, the best county
of the entire galaxy of ia and
the city of st. Louis" In fact,
We have in Wright county so
many things worth while that
the mind would grow tired in
their enumeration and the brain
weary in their comprehension.
1t will be remembered that
the official car of the st. Louis
Automobile Club passed through
here recently enroute TO the
Ozark Trails Association at In
dependence, kas., and the mem.
bers of the party expressed
themselves as well pleased with
this route. The Greater Spring.
field committee has offered to
send representatives to a good
roads meeting in Wright county,
and it is to be hoped that ar.
engagements for such a meeting
will be made i'm mediately. We
must not go to sleep on the job
and lose this road, VIXEN 4 little
work now might obtain a road
that would be of incalculable
benefit to the community for all
time to come.
And then. in addition to those
present. at Monday evenings
meeting, Wright county has
such good roads boosters as W.
l, Greer of Hartville, Mayor F. H
Riley, of Mansfield, and Hon. ".
s. Gambler, of Mountain Grove,
and you could not find two bet
ter boosters in the state than
they are. so why not have the
road: State Senator John Ma
in a speech before the
Ozark Press Association at a
banquet at the Connor hotel in
Joplin, said that every commu
nifty could have good roads If
they had some booster to give
the necessary impetus. We
have the good roads boosters, 50
the good roads should be a nat.
ural sequence.
The Young Mems Business
Club of Mansfield and the Com
mercial Clubs of the places int.
crested will doubtless assist the
organization to take whatever
steps seem best for the secur.
ing of the road through these
So lets have the road.
Without good roads there can
be no permanent Development. |
The elementary principles IN
in better roads are social
and domestic happiness and bus.
mess economics.
BY all means we should have
the road.

Darying In the Ozarks

Ozarks will say that there is a
gain of almost 100 per cent each
year. When we started this
creamery, Z years ago, there
were only two creameries doing
business to amount to anything
in this part of the Ozarks. The
first year we operated we made
a half million pounds of butter,
and last year we made 1900 600
pounds and about 10000 gallons
of ice cream. There are now
something over 20 creameries
operating in the Ozarks. Not
all of them have been success.
full, however, and some of them
have shut down, but the most of
them are making good and in
creasing their business every
year.
The silo has a lot to do with
the success of the dairy bust.
ness, and has helped out won
derfully towards its increase.
There are over 100 silos around
Mountain Grove, and there are
thousands of them scattered
over the country. Lots of cat
tie and horses have died in this
part on account of poisonous
fodder, while if this fodder had
been put in a silo there would
have been no danger. One
dairyman in this section lost
500 worth of stock from this
kind of fodder, when a silo
would have cost only about $500.
Also, if they had filled the silo
with corn and fodder the feed.
ing value would have been 10
per cent greater as the corn
stocks will add that much to the
value of the grain.
Another good feed for dairy
men to use is alfalfa, and it can
be raised very easily. There
were several farmers who cut
their alfalfa three times during
the dry seasons.
Also, another good thing to
feed is roots, in the way of tur.
nips, sugar beets, rutabagas,
and other root crops which are
valuable for feeding dairy cows.
The man who feeds roots gets as
good results as the man with a
silO.
This company has done a
great deal towards getting a
pure-bred, registered stock
shipped into this immediate
neighborhood. At our stock
shows in the fall we offer large
premiums, which bring in a bet.
ter grade of dairy cattle and en-.
courage in raising the same.
There are at least 200 head of
registered stock around this
city, and only a few years ago
there were scarcely any.
We also had a Cow Testing as,
ISOLATION last year. which was
the first in the state, and which
gave good satisfaction, but on
account of the drouth it has
been discontinued for the pres
ent.
We have one of the best dairy
countries in the United States,
and the farmers who are in this
business are making money.
Only a few days ago q man paid
S535 for a 3year.old Jersey cow
that was not even registered,
which shows that the farmers
are getting into the business
and that they want the best
stock.
Wisconsin is the best dairy
state in the Union and there are
something like % or 30 families
from that state who are inter
ested in the Ozarks and are
planning OH coming down in this
part to purchase land for dairy
farming.
This company will make $4,000
pounds of butter per week this
and the amount to be
paid for butter fat will reach a
half million dollars.
Yours very truly,

MINING MEN ARE ENROUTE TO
 INTERIOR

Among the arrivals on the steamer Mariposa yesterday was A. H. Bryant, superintendent for the Valdez Creek Mining Company, who will leave in a few days for the interior.
 MT Bryant brought with him five men from the states and will take five additional men from here. These, with the fifteen who are now at work as, sisting in freighting the supplies to the creek, will constitute the working force on the property this summer.
 The supplies for the season, in. cluding a large amount of machinery and pipping, was shipped north some time ago, and is now nearing it's destination. Included in the machine ry was Keystone drill, for prospect ing, an air compressor and machine drill breaking up large boulders.
 Mining operations will start as soon as possible after the party reaches the mines, all preparations to this end having been completed last sum, mer, and the new machinery will be installed without interfering with the mining operations. An electric light and power plant was installed last year, which will supply all the power necessary for the mining operations.

WILSON SENDS A PERSONAL NOTE
 CARRANzA

WASHINGTON, March l5-Presl- dent Wilson has sent a personal letter to General Carranza, warning him of the danger of molesting foreigners. The letter says that the United States, as a friend of Mexico. must speak plainly about the danger which threat. ems Mexico from without if the safety of lives and rights of the citizens of other nations is disregarded. Nor can any apparent contempt for the rights of those representing religion be justified or explained.
 Carranza has abandoned the block. ade of Progresso on urgent represen- tations from the United States. Prac- tically all of the harvester twine used in the United States is made from slsal hemp, of which most of that used in the country comes from Mexico through the port of Progresso. A special message from this port states that two American ships loaded with sisal have just cleared from Pro gresso without hindrance.
