Do We Want Go odRoadS in Independence
 County?

Is there any good raason why the people should not or ganize a number of road i'm provement districts under the Alexander road law, and build some good roads in Indepen- dence County this year?
 The way is now open and The Journa sees no reason why the farmers and all others who favor good roads should not get busy and build them.
 The cost should not be very great for we have road build ing material lying all around us, which can be made avail able for this purpose at very small expense.
 Under the new law, the rail- roads and all foreign land owners who own land in any raod district will have to bear their share of the expenses. The cost, however, is a very small item, when it isconsider- ed that we have 20 to 30 years time in which to pay it..
 Of course our grandfathers lived without good roads, and we can live without goodroads if we choose to do so. But our grandfathers were compelled live without good roads, and a good many other things BE- CAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THEM. Cur grand fathers made ana harvested their crops with very crude tools, used tallow candles and grease lamps, and grew up with practically 10 schooling. Our grandfathers probably did the best thing the. could with the means they had, and be- cause the force of circumstan- ces compelled then to doWith- out many of the comforts and conveniences of life. is no reas- on why we should to the same thing.
 Every sane man knows there is nothing of more value to a community than good roads.
 You cannot spend dollar for permanent public inn provement of any kind in h. dependence cour'y without benefitting every man in the county to a certain extent.
 Every good, live, progress i've farmer that we induce to come to Independence county, regardless of where he locates. benefits the whole county. And more of this class off&rm- CTS will come when they know that we are building good roads.
 We could organize anumber road improvement districts in the county float the bonds and be ready to begin work on the roads in a few months. Prac- tically all the money spent in building the roads would be paid out to farmers for la bor, team hire, and material sold the contractor who does the work. It would put several thousand dollars in circulation in the county at time when the people need money. The roads would be paid for by the people while they are getting the benefits, and ii 30 annual installments of such sums that no one would ever realize that the roads had ever cost them anything.

HOW ALICE SUCCEEDED.

Alice Campbell was ten years old
when her mother died.
Alice's mother had done sewing to
support herself and little daughter
and one Of her customers, Mrs. Jordan,
offered TO take Alice TO live with her

rands
Mrs Jordan had a daughter about

Florence, and while she had all the
advantages her rich father could give
10 her she did not take advantage of
them.
She went to one of the best private
schools and her time was wasted there
because she did not study.
Alice went to the public school and
one day while she was studying her
lesson Florence passed her room.
Let me see where YOU are in your
lessons" she said, taking the book
from Alice.
The lesson was far in advance of
that which Florence had studied, and
she tossed the book on the table be-
side Alice, saying as she did SO: ."Oh,
we don't study that trash at my
school; we shall never have any use
for that sort of learning"
but that is only a grammar les
son." replied Alice. 81 thought every
body learned to speak correctly"
Florence did not reply to this. but
told Alice she wanted her to come
downstairs and turn her music while
she practiced.
Alice closed her book and went with
her. She had learned that it was best
to do Florences bidding, or she would
appeal to her mother by saying that
Alice never wanted to do anything she
asked her TO do.
One day while she was watching
Florence and turning her music, she
said: This is the way II play that;

he was here"

man knows the worth of woman's
love until he has to pay alimony," is a
statement not quite so absurd as it
sounds. The average man is inclined
to take his wife's love just a little too
much for granted, to regard it as some
thing fixed and comfortable that moth

The curious behavior of some mod

modern woman's intelligence. And
forgiving spirit in a woman is not al,
ways the admirable thing it is held
up to be.

about introducing a brand-new hus-
band to your friends is that you never

awe-inspiring leap.
l think that many love affairs go
wrong and terminate otherwhere than

of some women for loving too much.
No man on earth appreciates what he

to be too sure of anything in a world

around these conditions centres the
crux of the whole matter.
The woman who loves not wisely

warded her by abandoning her in her
