Most Important Assignment Of the Big War

WAR is COMING HOME

And so at this time-at this crisis when
fresh outburst OF the war Is about TO bring
greater horror TO the world. Charles Edward
RUSSELL. famous magazine writer and econo-
mist. is going among the distracted people OF
The war-shocked countries TO investigate condt
tions TO talk to statesman and blacksmith, TO
question noblewoman and fishwoman, to ascer.
tain what are the undercurrents and to report
TO the readers OF the Times what he hears and
sees.
This is the most important assign
ment Of the war!
And no man is better qualified than Charles
Edward Russell for this task which the Times
has commissioned him to perform For rs years
he was a successful newspaper man. This ex-
perience. not to speak Of his success as a maga-

thority of the state officials. And
again most of such moneys went into
politics and not into good roads, and
lack of efficiency and uniformity per
sisted.
LAS a result of this waste, history
once more repeated itself, and there
was a demand for state highways
built and maintained by the state
under its highway commission. Eff
ficiency and uniformity were the re-
suit, and the moneys went into roads.
"In those states which now have
the best road systems, we find, as
the result of the experience, three
fold system, each under the exclusive
jurisdiction of its properly consti-
tuted authorities. This has produced
the largest mileage of good roads for
the least expenditure. 1t has brought
efficiency and uniformity out of
chaos, and the money has gone into
roads,"

plaster to the tip OF the nose and sat

What the Dallas News is to the
Dallas fair, the McCurtain Gazette
published at Idabel is to the McCur-
tain county fair. McCurtain county
gave the first real fair in its history
this fall and it was a greater fair
than the first one given at Dallas
years ago, and from which the Texas
state fair has grown. The people
of the entire county took an active
interest in the exhibits. School chill
lren from all over the county We're
there, and the school exhibit was one
of the most interesting in the expo
sition building. Live stock and every
thing that can be grown on the farm
were on exhibit. Needlework and
home-canned products were there in
great beauty and variety. The Ma
sons and the Woodmen, the city and
county governments, and the mer-
chants and schools, were represented
in the parade on the opening day.
The Gazette devoted more than full
page of space to write-up of this
fair. and this is but another evidence
of the interest which the people there
have manifested in their country.
The Gazette has the following to
say of the visit of Congressman Car.
