steel bridge across Flat creek near
Cato, are getting ready to do the haul

has been received at Aurora and will
be hauled at once and that the steel is

that locality. 1t has encouraged the
farmers to plan for general improve

SAFEGUARD OTHER
PEOPLES CHILDREN

"Whenever it is necessary, for the
welfare of the children, to insist that
one or more families be quarantined,"
says the July Woman's Home Com
panion, "it is astonishing how fre-
quently this is taken as personal in
suit by the parents 1t seems to be
considered as an Infringement upon
the family rights and not for one mo-
ment to be tolerated"
This editorial has to do with
widespread evil. 1t says further:
"A striking instance came to notice
recently in a suburban town. For
some weeks sporadic cases of diph-
liberia had been appearing. Every care
was taken to find out the source of the
trouble-but all to no avail. There
were carriers at large, and no one
knew who was responsible. So it was
decided to make systematic examin-
alton of the throats of the school chill
dren, and to send cultures of all sus-
picious-looking cases to the laboratory
1t was found that twenty-five per cent
of these cultures gave positive re-
action, so, of course, these children
were promptly banished, and quaran-
tine ordered by the board of health.
The nature of the work and the ne
cessity for these precautions were ex-
planned to the parents in every in
stance; nevertheless, some of these
same parents were very angry, and
tried various devices to break the
quarantine. One of the mothers
threatened a law suit unless her child
was promptly taken back to school
and the sign put on her house by order
of the board of health Immediately re-
moved!
"Another mother entirely ignored
the notice sent to her, and fatty re-
fused to keep her child in the house
though she knew he was not we'll when
she sent him to school. 1t was sever
al hours after this child had been sent
home before the mother could be
brought to terms. Meanwhile, to spite
! the authorities who had perpesraset
this outrage upon her family by bar
ring her boy out of school, she sen
him over to one of her neighbors t
play with the children. Two of thes
children promptly contracted diph
iberia, and the younger one, scarcel.

GIRL BROWNS WHEN
BATHING IN CREEK
NORTH OF BRANSON
Miss Wilma Patterson, Aged IA,
Daughter of Prominent Merchant,
Either Seized with Cramps
or Stepped Into Hole

Branson, Mo. June 14.-Miss Will
ma Patterson, aged IA years, daughter
of Robert J. Patterson, Jr., promi-
nent merchant of Branson, was
drowned in Roark creek, a tributary
of Lake Taneycomo, about $50 o'clock
this evening. Miss Patterson was a
member of a swimming party that had
gone to the banks of the creek just
north of town and it is thought that
she was seized with cramps or that
she stepped into treacherous water
hole. The girl dragged with her a
younger companion, little Helen Hef-
lin, who managed to escape from the
clutches of the drowning girl and
swim back to the bank.

WASTES $4,000 ON ROADS
In Twenty Years the Present Annual
Expenditures will Aggregate More
Than Permanent System of
2O2 Miles Would Cost

Liberty, Mo-, June 14.-Clay Coun-
ty spent $4,000 last year grading,
dragging and otherwise temporizing
with it's dirt roads trying to make
them passable. Most of the winter
and large part Of the summer they
were not. The money largely was
wasted.
Clay county assumes no special
blame for this poor investment. 1t
merely did what dozens of other Mis-
souri, counties are doing, except that
being richer than most counties it had
more money to waste. However, it
does assume responsibility for the fu-
ture. 1t has been giving close atten-
ton to the question since bond issue
for permanent roads was proposed,
and it has discovered to its amaze
ment that at the present rate of ex-
penditure on dirt roads it actually will
spend more money in twenty years
than the entire cost Of building and
maintaining a complete system of 202
miles of hard roads under the bond
plan.
To reduce it to figures the perma-
nent roads will cost l "a million dol
lars. There is twenty years to pay.
Twenty years at $4,000 year for
dirt roads will cost $1,600,000, and no
roads either.

stem so he could go on. 1t was plain
that the telling points on the delegates
were the recital of President Wilson's
effort to keep the country at peace.
"This policy" he said, "may not sat
isfy the fire-eater and the swash-
buckler, but it does satisfy the moth
ers of the land, at whose hearth and
freside no jingoistic war has placed
an empty chair. 1t ooc7 satisfy the
daughters of this land from whom
buster and brag have sent no loving
brother to the dissolution of the grave
1t does satisfy the fathers of this land
and the sons of this land who will
fight for our flag and die for our flag
when reason primes the rife, when
honor draws the sword and when jus
tice breathes blessing on the stand
ard they uphold"

The convention, which had gotten
under way with such perfunctory dem
onstrations as mark every national
gathering of the kind, soon stirred it.
self into roaring cheers as Chairman
Glynn cited historic parallels to show
that other presidents, including re-
publicans, had adjusted threatening
foreign situations without resort to
war.
"The policy of the administration,
he declared, "has been just as Amerl-
can as the American flag itself"
AS he went down the list of presi-
dents, recounting their action to avoid
war, the delegates caught the spirit OF
his argument, and as he referred to
each particular president some dele
gate would call: "What did he do?"
"He settled the trouble by negotia-
tion," was the reply which Glynn in
variably returned and the convention
would roar it's approval. William j.
Bryan, as newspaper correspondent
in the press stand, wept with emotion
as Glynn pictured the victories OF
peace, but he laughed with the GROVE
when a Texas delegate, interrupting
Glynn, leaped to his chair and cried
"And don't forget that policy also
is satisfactory to William j. Bryan"

onstration when Chairman Glynn'S
speech was sprinkled with demonstra'
tions which he found it difficult tc

The last of the words were drowned
out in roar of applause that swept
the Coliseum.
"Repeat it," cried the delegates
Repeat it"
"All right, be quiet and I'll repeat
it, responded Mr.. Glynn, and he did
to applause and cheering.
No other president since the Civil
war, Mr.. Glynn told the convention,
had faced such crucial problems, none
had displayed a grasp of statesman
ship more profound.
After hearing the keynote speech,
the convention adjourned until IL o.

went into session to prepare their
work for the convention.
