TRUTHS CONCERNING
The ROAD BOND issue
WE SUBMIT TO THE VOTERS OF
OHIO COUNTY THESE FACTS
FOR CONSIDERATION.
To The Voters Of Ohio County.

To The Voters Of Ohio County.
1t is proposed to issue 100000 OF
bonds and with this money build the
roads from the county seat Hart
ford) to each county line, thus COM
pleting the inter-county-seat system.
It is estimated that this will mean the
building of about 75 miles to the
seven adjoining counties. = .,,-
State Aid.
Under the present law the county
can issue it's bonds, build 100000
worth of roads under state supervi-
sion, AMI the state will return to
the county Its proportionate part of
the State Aid Fund each year until
one-half (15O,OOO) is paid back, Now
the county can, use this money from
the state In paying principal and in
terest on the bonds;or- the county can
take care of the bonds independently
and use the money from the State
each year in the building Of new
roads or in maintenance. The coun-
ty thus has the opportunity of build
ing 100000 worth of roads fo-
$3.50, 900 of its own money.
Can We Afford It?
Considering the benefits that ac-
crue by reason Of good roads, we can
afford to do it. II we consider
this bond issue as debt, it is not
heavy. 1t is less than per cent Of
the taxable value of the prop
erty of this county; and the tax
able value Is hardly one half Of the
real value. The assessed value Of
farm lands averages less than 50 per
acre. In other words it is about the
same as a man worth $1,000, con-
tracing a debt of $45, or a man
worth $4,000, making a debt Of
$450. The advantage is with the
county, however, because the STATE
PAYS ONE-HALF OF THE DEBT.
How About Taxes.
To take care of this obligation
will require additional taxation. Just
how much we cannot say, but 1T CAN
NOT EXCEED 20 CENTS ON THE
HUNDRED, and no increase Of poll
tax whatever. What does this mean!
It means that the average amount OF
taxes on owners of farm lands In
Ohio county could not exceed $1,42
each.
Where Does the Burden Fall?
The greatest benefit from goot
roads is derived by the farming pop
ulation. yet on them the burden fall
the highest. The assessment To-
1916 shows the following:
Total assessed value Of all proper
ty $7,1S5,331. Assessed value o
railroads, banks and other corpora
tions $2,4S6,264. Assessed value @
farming lands $2,943,511. Assessed
value town lots and other properr'
l$1.755.556. 1s7. rs
These figures show that though tn
farming population benefits more d
rectly from good roads than an
other class of people, they pay take
on less than THREE-sEvENTHs o
the property. OF this the State pay
one-half, SO the farming population
; gets the greater use of the roads
and all the accruing benefits there
from. and pays only three fourteenth
; of the cost. .a.l <f.t4r
! II is not meant that everybod
does not benefit from good roads
. The benefits are to every class O
citizen, but most directly and i'm
mediately to the farmer.

Does It Pay?

One county in the South spent
100000 in five years in building per
manent roads, and within two years
after the road improvement began,
the tonnage over the roads increased
about As per cent, while the dairy
and poultry products increased lao
per cent. II this could happen in
another county, why not in Ohio
county? ~ 80 ="
In another county In one year after
the building of roads with a $780,
900 bond issue, the value of products
sold from field, dairy and farm in
creased 40 per cent in one year;
while the dairy and poultry products
increased over 100 per cent in value.
In five years after Ohio county
completes a system of roads, the
value of her products will incresae

2. Because by construction of a
large mileage at one time the cost

Plataea nestled in valley underneath
clear, peaceful sky presenting a
striking contrast to the field of fierce
soldiery, with our glittering helmets
and spears as we rushed madly down
upon the foe With clash we came
together and Immediately all became
confusion and riot as we swayed
back and forth, each gaining a little
ground and then losing it in turn. Our
brave leader, Mardonius, shouted words
Of encouragement until we renewed our
efforts, fighting like demons, and slowly
before our triumphant eyes, the Greeks
retreRted. Oh, what glorious shout
went up when we thought we had won
the day. What glad songs and feasts
were prepared that night in honor of
our victory. Victory indeed What a
bitter mockery 1t now sounds to my
ears. l now see our mistake which
proved instrumental in turning the
tables: we were over confident in our
strength and supremacy, while we un-
der-estimated the worth of the Greeks.
The next day THAT day that will go
down in history as the most disastrous
to Persia) we Immediately attacked the
Greeks, confidently expecting to put
them to utter rout but to our amazed
disappointment they held their ground
fighting only as people can who have
great issue at stake. We kept up hope
until our noble Mardonius fell, but with
our leader gone We almost knew our
fate. Our camps we're broken into and
our men slaughtered like sheep in
fold, with only few escaping. seem
to be little more fortunate than my
brothers for although l am held cap
tive, L am nobly treated.
You will never know the awfulness
of the battle nor the hardships we en-.
dured in striving for the victory that
we longed for, yet if our defeat had to
be, we are only too fortunate in being
conquered by Greece, the very heart
and soul Of which is Athens, whom

BATTLE CRY OF PEACE
Greatest War Drama Ever Scenic, 900
Guardsmen In Pictures

"The Battle Cry Of Peace" is model
ed principally after Hudson Maxim's
book, "Defenseless America" but there
is a substantial vein of romance and a
strong human interest story running
thru it, It's author is j. Stuart Black
ston, who received many suggestions
as to the scenario from number of
army and navy officers and officials of
the Federal Government who were glad
to cooperate in its making. An or
chestra of twenty-five musioia had
been engaged as part of the production,
the whole being staged and arranged
by S. l.. Rothapfel. The pictures were
made under the direction of Wilfrid
North.
In the same category with "The
Birth of Nation" "The Battle Cry of
Peace" is a spectacular offering, bring
ing home to the general public some
astounding facts concerning the un.
preparedness of this country in time of
war.
Some idea OF the size OF the ofterlng
is gained when it is said that in support
of the company there was introduced
$1,000 National Guardsmen, 800 G. A.
r. members, 5000 horses and seventeen
aeroplanes with zeppelins, seaplanes,
submarines, dreadnoughts, battleships,
torpedo boats and armoured motor
cars. 1t was taken for granted that all
the above mentioned material was
used in picture, according to an an
nouncement of the producers, although
it was not at all apparent during the
progress of the picture.
This mammoth production will be
shown at the Princess Theatre Christ
mas day, afternoon and evening.

PRICE OF HOO CHOLERA
SERUM REDucED

The N. ID. State Serum Insti-
tute at the Experiment Station is
prepared to supply hog-cholera
serum at three-fourths cent per
cubic centimeter. This serum
has been bought subject to test.
TO this purchased serum is add
ed such serum as is produced as
q by-product in certain research
work on hog-cholera at the Ex-
pertinent Station. No charge is
made for this, which results in
the serum being sold to the farm
ers for less than the price paid
for it.
Necessarily the price of serum
will show some variation from
time to time. this being largely
dependent on the amount of SER
um availahly for distribution.
The Serum Institute has now
ready for shipment a consider
able quantity Of hog-cholera ser
UNI which it can send out at
price of three-fourths cent per
cubic centimeter. The serum
is issued in bottles containing
500 c. c., 24O C. c.. and l2O c. g
and on a strictly c. d. basis.
The price is marked on each
bottle. 1t is shipped either by
express or parcels-pos4 and
orders will! be taken care of from
8 4. NJ. to 6 P. NJ. Sundays ex-
cepted.
No serum is sent out unless
found potent on test by the State
Serum Institute. but beyond that
said Institute does not assume
any responsibility for results
following its use.
To secure the best results
from the use of serum. it must be
used at the right time and with
due regard to the conditions Of
the animals injected: scrupulous
cleanliness. proper dosage and
suitable after care.
