Many Express Opinion
That People Would
Vote Issue Of $780,
600 For Highway
Building In Henry
County.

More headway is being gained
every day by the movement for
a half million dollar bond issue
for the construction of roads in
Henry county, and the opinion
is being freely expressed that if
the county court will submit the
proposition to the people for a
vote the verdict will be in favor
of the bond issue.
Monday was the opening day
of the March term of circuit
court, and a large crowd was in
Paris. On every hand farmers
could be heard to say that a bond
issue was the only remedy for
the bad road conditions that
have existed all winter.
The difference between the
mud tax and the pike tax" de-
clared one gentleman. lis that
in the case of the mud tax you
have to die to stop the payments,
while in the case of the pike tax
you pay up in twenty years and
have the roads to enjoy for the
remainder of your life."
Friends of the proposed bond
issue are seeing the members of
the county court, and a number,
of the justices have already
stated their intention of voting
to submit the question to the
people, it is said.
1t is more than two weeks
until the meeting OF the next
session of the county court and
the good roads advocates will
not be idle during that time.
If the court submits the
question to a vote of the people,
the fight will be made for the
bond issue, and there is a grow
ing impression that it will carry.
Henry county people are deter
mined to have better roads, and
see no way to get them except
oy voting a bond issue.
There is little opposition to
making the bond issue $500, 900.
The needed road work could not
be done on less than that amount,
it is said.
Let the people decide" is
getting to be a popular express
sion in regard to the proposed
bond issue, and in view of the
strong support that the move
ment has it is not regarded as at
all probable that the court will
refuse to submit the question.

MOVIES IN LUMBER CAMPS
Silent Drama Proves Force In Keep
ing Men Contented and lncreas-

Ashland. - The Quincy Lumber
company near this city was confront
ed with the problem of procuring sufi-
cient men for their logging operations
and keeping them after they arrive at
the camps. until they introduced an
innovation-the motion picture. Now
the trouble previously experienced is
over; the woodsmen are contented.
Formerly a crew Of Quincy Lum-
Der company at their various camps
would be changed almost entirely ev-
cry thirty days; the lumberiacks would
go to the cities, blow in" their roll,
then seek employment at another
camp.
One Of the office employees of the
concern suggested one day that the
company secure q motion picture ma
chine and give them the enjoyment Of
the silent drama. The idea seemed a
good one and the company forthwith
secured a machine and an operator and
now is conducting a motion picture
show every night with q change of
program with each performance. 1t
has proven a success and the company
has experienced no trouble by changes
in crews as formerly.
