We Must Maintain Roads as Well as
Build Them.

In many a country in the South
the condition of the roads is the
same as those which the editor
of the Clinton Democrat de-
scribes as existing in his coun-
try. He says:
1--WE can't survive the impress
sion that we have wasted a lot
of money; that we have built a
lot of roads that have gone back
to their former condition, from
neglect; that we have burdened
our posterity with a debt that
has proved to be a rather bad
investment. We have burdened
our children with bonds that will
be mighty hard to pay, and we
will have to answer for a great
deal, if. for their $3.50, 900 we
leave them a legacy of mudholes,
a heritage of sand and water.
One of the main defects in our
present program, we think, is
the fact that we are spending all
of our money on construction and
are not taking proper thought
for the maintenance of roads. p"

HOW PINEAPPLE JUICE
AND PEPSlN RELIEVES
STOMACH TROUBLE

The juice of pineapples contains
lamentations used by the stomach in
the digestion of food. Pepsin is sup
Piled by every stomach, but many
times in insufficient quantities. These
two when combined with the other
ingredients in Natol Pineapple Pep
sin Compound furnish to the stomach
exactly the right proportion to digest
the food. Strong laxatives are an
injury and are not needed where the
food is properly digested.
Natol Pineapple Pepsin Compound
is not a patent medicine but a cor
rectiye and assistant in overcoming
all stomach troubles. One bottle (5Oc)
is usually enough to give permanent
relief. T. n. Coleman.

Another resolution read:

trine of the separation Of church and
state as the guarantee OF religious
liberty; that we desire this religious
liberty for all men as we'll as our
selves; that we view with grave con
cern the disposition of the Roman
Catholic church to tax us through the
state with the support of its institu-

which prevents the freedom of speech

tees of religious liberty and the sep
araton of church and state in the
state constitutions and to strengthen
them by amendment when necessary"

BELIEVE GIRL
WAS VICTIM
Of MURDER
BODY FOUND PARTIALLY SUE
MERGED IN CREEK - BULLET
HOLE HEAD BUT NO WEAPON
is FOUND.

Maud. Okla, May 2i.-One week
after Sadie Jones finished her scho-
lastic year in the local district school
she disappeared from her father s
home, and during the morning OF
Tuesday, May 90, her lifeless body
was found partially submerged in
Salt creek, near the farm on which
the Jones family reside. A bullet
hole, apparently made by .32-caliber
ball, entering from behind the left
ear, told the partial story Of her
death She was II years old.
When at Home Last.
Friday night, May u, the girl, &C
companied by sister, returned from
church gathering to their home,
and went to their rooms.
The sister says that Sadie was in
normal frame of mind, disrobed
and went to bed as usual. Some
time during the night she arose and
left the house without the knowledge
of other members of the family.
The girl was missed early Satur-
day morning, and a search for her
was conducted. A few days later
members of the family ceased their
search and a rumor became current
in the neighborhood that a letter
had been received from the missing
girl in Kansas City. The letter was
alleged to state that she had run
away from home, had married and
was happy. Tuesday morning a 12-
year-old boy, while fishing in Salt
creek, saw a foot protruding from the
water, and an investigation revealed
the body of Sadie Jones.
Body Buried.
An inquest was held and a partial
physical examination of the body
made, after which it was buried in
the cemetery near the farm on which
the Jones family lived. The coroners

sheriff and deputies from Wewoka,

arrived here Wednesday and are now
conducting an investigation, on the
theory that the girl was induced to
leave her home to keep an appoint
ment, and was murdered.
No weapon has been found near
the place where the girls body was
found and she is not known to have
possessed a weapon. When the body
was found it was clad only in
nightgown, and stockings were on
the feet, but her shoes were missing.
The place where the body was found
is about one and one-half mile from
the Jones home Marion Jones, the
girls father, has lived in this COM
munity for many years. The Jones
farm is about two miles south of
