County Roads Again

From the reports of the grain
haulers and those who have had
occasion to make use of the
public travelled roads in Fallon
County we are lead to believe
that these highways are in a
most dlsgraceful condition. East
ern people who at this time are
making this county a visit with
the intention of probably making
this their future home have all
taken the liberty to register a
holler' and where there is so
much kicking there must be a
good cause. We had occasion to
make a trip to the south end of
the county early IN the month
and while the roads at that time
We're passible we thought Of the
plight we would have been in
had it been wet weather. The
Ekalaka- Baker mail road is un
doubtelly one Of the toughest
in the county and the chuck holes
and washouts are enough t. set
a sunday-school superintendent
to cussing. It is a daily occur
rance for some freighter or grain
hauler to break his wagon. get
stuck in sand or mud or unload

just because of the poor condi-
ton of the roads. The cost Of
marketing the. grain. in localities
away from the railroad is enough
with decent roads let alone such
as they are at present. The far
mers taxes should build decent
roads but there seems TO be no
recourse from the present way Of
spending their money.
We are not informed as to the
amount availablei in the road fund
for improvements but We feel
safe in saying that there is not
enough left to properly repair
and put in condition even one
fairly lengthy road. This road
question has been the chief topic
for discussion of late amongst
the farmers and many have ask
ed the question, why not bond
bond the county for a least SlOJ.
900. 90, hire a practical civil en-
gineer and spent this money
in ALL parts of the county for
good decent roads, This plan
would be a good one and we are
sure a bond proposition would
carry by a big majority if tie
taxpayers were assured of good
roads and that the money would
not be ''hogged' in and around
the county seat.

BANKER BACKERs ESTATE

New York Cor, Cincinnati Times-Star.
For 25 years since the death of Abraham
Backer, a private banker, lawyer and
court commissions and referees have been
getting fees of greater or less fairness out
OF the estate of the decedent whose af-
fairs were in much confusion at the time
of his sudden passing He owed so many
scattered and difficult of appraisement as
to value that the creditors formed an as
ISOLATION and hired special lot of law
yers to represent them jointly. Many
complicated cases in which there were
fewer LAWYERS, or happily none at all,
settled in the quarter of century which
has elapsed since Banker Backers death
Apparently, however, in the case of Bank
er Backer's estate, such highly developed
and interesting litigation was evolved by
conditions which included funds of large
large number to collect them, and it was
all but impossible to bring the thing to
finally an end at all. And the end having
finally been reached, the result must be
admitted to be picturesque. The final
report and court order provides that the
long departed bankers creditors shall re-
ceive five one-hundredths of one per cent
of their claims. That is, the principal
claimant, who proved that he had $4,000
coming to him will get $780, In numerous
instances during the history OF the long
litigation fees of $1,000 or thereab outs have
been allowed to lawyers and court refer

idea is that the time and attention of
the people who read novels are now being
diverted by the picture shows and the
Joy riding of the motor machines. There
can be no doubt that in large measure
this is true; we are quite sure that touch

A VETERAN CLOWN DEAD

From the New York Tribune.
Long Branch, N. J.-Capt. John Crum
Clark, the oldest living clown, who was
knocking EN- off their seats with the
Dan Rice circus way back in 1S49, died in
Long Branch the other day. He was 50
years old.
He embraced religion in his fiftieth
year. With the memory of many lurid cir
Gus days to spur him on, he was an in
defatigable worker in the Methodist
church and an exhorter of no mean abil-
ity. In December, 1914, his religious work
brought about a breakdown from which
he never recovered. But he never gave
up hope.
six doctors have told me 1 would
never live to be 7O,' he would say with
a chuckle, but I've lived to see EN- all
buried
He ran away from his home in New
and for 20 years thereafter toured North
and South America and Europe. During
this time it was his boast he filled every
position on the circus pay roll but ticket
taker. His speciality was broad jumping,
and he became professional champion of
the world by defeating William King, the
then champion, in 1854

HITTING CHEAP NOVELS

agencies. People read a certain class OF
story books simply as a pastime, while
they read others as intellectual food for
charging their visions of life and OF
men and women. There will be no dam
ger to the latter Sort we should say;
in fact, the demand for the best class
of story writing will be improved, and the
CHEAP. worthless sort will be sent to the
publishers shelves. 1t Is not thing TO
be regretted that this is SO, if it shall
operate to improve the literary taste of
the average reader and call for a higher
class of novel writing 1t has not been
long ago that the columns of the news
papers were filled with protests against
the trifling class Of books the presses
of the country were producing. Any
body who could compose a decent Eng-
fish sentence and who had had dream
or a vision, dropped into letters" and
lots of valuable time was wasted, not
to speak Of money, by men and women
all over the country in reading the re-
sulting drivel.
If the moving picture and the automo-
bile shall put the cheap novelist, the SEN
sational penny a-liner and the pruriency-
monger out of business they will have
done society a good turn; they will not
have that effect on books that are worth
while.

NIGHT I'm A SPANISH CASTLE

South America He no longer kept sheep,
for he could not afford shepherds; two
men could watch his herd of mules.
Our eyes wandered about the shadowy
hail. whose painted walls showed scenes
of prowess, of knights and ladies and
trysts of long ago. The colors were
faded and dim, the plaster cracked and
Clipped. Armoires of carved wood were
set into the wall, rich in dull reds and
gold These had been brought over the
mountains centuries ago, on muleback,
of course, as Torla, even today, lies
many miles from a road and days
ride from the railway. The Marques
showed us straight backed arm-chairs
covered with frayed tapestry, the rungs
time-worn. He opened chest and drew
forth brocades such as I shall never see
again. Crimsons and saffrons, Oriental
blues, they lay before us in a simmer
ing pile; costumes of the sixteenth CEN
fury, worn at court by members of his
family; velvet cloaks. lacy mantillas. In
the year 112s, he showed us on the fam
lily tree which hung upon the wall, AL
fonso II, King of Aragon, had ennobled
Jaime de VIII, governor of Catalonia. Up
to the present century the family had
abounded with ambassadors, generals,
and prelates. Those good old days had
gone, alas! Shut off from the lowland
by the barrier of the mountains-in forN
mer times its strength, with passes easily
guarded-Torla had become isolated, al
most deserted. Still was the Marques
loyal to his king, whom he had never
seen, but whose portrait hung upon the
wall.
With all this splendor was a truly me-
dieval squalor. We were awakened at
night by the gnawing of rats despite the
fact that the cats, fighting among them
selves, made the night hideous. We had
come upon a family of kittens under one
of the exquisitely inlaid bedsteads, the
mother cat clawing the lace-edged sheets.
Our room was next to the stables, and. to
judge by the paving and stamping, the
horses were as restless as ourselves. The
patio swarmed with chickens. the cocks
proclaiming the coming dawn. Our joy
was great when the sun rose, throwing
patches of sunlight through the latticed
door leading to our balcony.

PRILEP, SERVIAN OBJECTIVE

, was Prilep, speaks first: Son Mako,
may God slay theel Thou shalt have
neither monument nor posterity; and ere
thy spirit leaves thy body the Turkish
Sultan thou shalt serve Then speaks
the Car, Stephen Dushan: Friend Mar
ko, may God help thee! Bright be thy
face in the senate; sharp thy sword in
battle. Never shall hero surpass thee
And thy name shall be remembered SO
long as sun and moon endure
And here, according to peasant folk
lore, is how that prophecy was fulfilled:
Upon the death of Vukashine, Lazar
Greblianovitch, Count of Simium, was
elected Car. Bitterly disappointed at
the failure of his own candidacy, Mako
threatened the life of Lazar and was
forthwith deprived of his fief Penniless
and disheartened, Marko turned to the
court of the hated Sultan and enlisted
in his army to fight the Moslems of Asia
Minor. ct should be remembered that
it was in disgrace for Servian to fight
with the Turks provided the opposing
forces were other Turks, for Turk
less, in whatever cause slain, was a
blessing in the eyes of the Servians).
I'm time, however, Markos command
was brought west to wage war against
the orthodox prince of the Roumans.
Loyal to his Mohammedan sovereign
when he came upon the field of battle,
Marko's heart failed him when he saw
the men of his own faith drawn up
orniY 1cf aoin tIa ~
choosing between proving traitor to his
chief or lifting his sword against those
of his own faith, he cried out, oh, God,
do thou this day destroy all those who
fight against Christendom, and foremost
Marko.' Saying which. he threw his
body on the Christian spears and died
without striking blow.
'STypifying the love in which Mako is
still held by the Servians, it, is related
that some years ago a historical play
was announced for production in a little
theatre in Belgrade AS upon all such
occasions, the place was crowded. The
play. widely at variance with the Gus
tom, presented Marko in a most craven
role. There were no Kisses or boots, but
painful, bitter silence spread over the
| audience as the story progressed, the
people evidently hoping for a turn OF
events toward the close, but as the last
curtain fell and Mako had not in the
final moment redeemed himself with some
magnificent deed of courage and self
sacrifice, the mighty heart of one of the
adoring peasant group, voicing the emo
lions of all, gave vent to despairing
sob, and cried out, Mako is not trail
