In Memory of
My Grandmother

Mrs Jane Nicholas was a dear
friend to me and especially in my
boyhood DAYS. She gave me many
good examples and always advised
me right. l think | obeyed her
better really than l did my own
mother, and she was the next
friend to my mother.
Her husband was shot down like
Il dog in the field while he was
blowing and earning his bread by
the sweat of his brow. | we'll re-
member when she told me of the
foul murder of my grandfather
whom [ never saw, and showed me
the bullet hole in the shirt he had
on when he was killed. How her
poor heart must have bled! She
was left with about six or eight
children, two girls and four or six
boys and by her good conduct,
managed to gain the good will of
Henry Nicholas and safely raised
all her children except two. |
don't know if they died before or
after her husbands death.
She so lived that she won all the
fortune her children received of
Henry Nicholas, l am realizing a
portion of it today. We should
not forget or pass over this too
thoughtIessly; the good or evil that
people do speak long after their de-
parture from this world. [ we'll
remem >er one morning when she
awoke me and said, "Don, you
have no papa" And l we'll re-
member my father who tried to
raise me right while he lived; he
took me to Sunday school once
when | wanted to play around the
outside and took me up in from.
and made me try to sing. | did
not know my letters yet but l
remember the piece we sang:
"When He Cometh to make up his
Jewels" He also told me never
to stay on the out side of church
during service and never to sit in
the back part of the church. This
much l obeyed ever since. He also
called me to his bed and placed his
hands on my head a few days be
fore be died and said, Don, l
want you to be a good boy," and
l said | would. But by and by |
strayed away and got down deep
in sin, but like the wandering son,
l have come back, and today | am
obeying and trying to make my
promise good. Don't forget Prov
erbs TRAIN up a child in the way
he should 60. and when he is old
he will not depart from it," |
strayed away in my youth but in
my older days I have come back.
Don't neglect the children.
Thank God for christian grand
mother and father and also a moth
er who sent me to Sunday school
and preaching and rejoiced to see
me go! With all honor and respect
to Che deceased mentioned and
other friends, l expect to meet
them in a better cline / know
where to find the departed friends
again who lived Cody life.
With a heart of sympathy and
respect | remain,
Don Nicholas,

Letter
Editor Recorde r:

In your last issue | see an article
under the caption of Important, 3"
suggesting many things in regard
to our public roads-the first thing
suggested is to have better road
law enacted.
In answer to their suggestion |
would say that we have one of the
best road laws in the state, but the
trouble lies in our officials in not
having the law complied with.
We have excellent specifications,
our three commissioners getting
together and formulating excellent
specifications making them uniform
for the whole county under these
specifications the roads are adver-
tised and let to the lowest response
BILE bidder for a period of from 2 to
4 years. We would have excellent
roads and there would be no kicks
coming if these responsible bidders
were made to put the roads up to
the specifications under which they
bid and enter into bond for that
purpose: Now where does the
trouble lie? Evidently it lies with
the road commissioners they &C.
cept the roads when they are not
up to specifications.
The majority of contractors do
as little work on the roads as posi-
BILE and why not if their road is
accepted The majority OF con-
tractors know very little about
making roads; they will often send
their boys. II and IA years old,
with a one-horse shovel pillow to
put the road up while daddy does
the mans work ON the farm.
You would have an idea the kind
of road would be put up how is
the road law to reach such a con.
tractor if our commissioner and
board of supervisors. accept the
roads?
About the first thing done after
the road is let, the contractor be-
gins counting theroad commissioner;
he takes him home to dinner, rides
over the road with him, keeps him
over night and soon they are great
"buddies" and the commissioner
never sees tho part of the road that
is not whang doodle do to
such it may be the commissioner
Is a tender hearted man, knowing
the contractors bid was entirely
too low and he will have mercy in
him if so the commissioner is
wrong because this man bid ;he
road off with the understanding
that the road was to be put UP ac-
cording to certain specifications
and it is his duty to see that THE
roads are put up accordingly if &
few of these low bidding contlac-
tors were made to put their roads
up a few times. they wouid be-
more careful about bidding.
1t is high time to stop wasting
the county's money on roads in this
manner why don't our Officials
wake up and enforce the law,
Our roads are not maintained
once they are up they are neglect
ed, the side bitches fill up with
leaves and rock, the culverts stop
up and the water gets into the
road and follows the wagon rut,
and in many places the road bed Is
not rounded but is actually lower
in the middle than at the edges, on
such road the water ruins the road
in an hour so, the public has to use
it in that condition all winter and
spring not an hours work is put
on it. No wonder people cry out
about the bad roads. Who is to
blame? x

DUN's REVIEW.


NEW YORK, July 29.-Dun's Re-
view in its issue today has this to say
regarding trade conditions;
Such striking and uniform gains APP
pear in comparison with results at
this period in best previous years that
the outlook can only be regarded with
optimism. Existing conditions in
trade and industry are noteworthy foT
the remarkable activity shown at the
approach of midsummed, but the most
gratifying feature is the avoidance Of
speculative excuses and overexten-
sion in nearly all undertakings. While
the magnitude Of forward engagements
testifes to the widespread confidence
in the future, business interests still
display commendable jugdment and
prudence in combining commitments
within the Limits of safety. This pol
icy Of conservatism accentuates the
underlying strength Of the situation,
and is one OF the strongest factors
making for sustained economic prog
ress.
The rapid rehabilitation OF banking
reserves has demonstrated that recent
monetary anxietics were groundless,
and there seems no immediate likel-
hood Of high rates acting as a check
to the commercial and industrial de-
velopment. Purchases for we'll de-
fined requirements assure capacity
operations for months to come at most
mills and factories, while overtime Is
still in force at numerous plants dur
ing the period when considerable ma
chinery is usually idle
In one important branch after an
other demands have slackened. only TO
be followed by removed and in some
instances larger buying, and the steel
corporations statement Of quartely
earnings is wholly lacking in precC-
dent. Many contracts in steel and iron
extend throughout 1917 and, while
other lines are not so strongly en-
trenched. manufacturing conditions
generally could hardly be better from
the standpoint Of orders actually
placed and in prospect, Yet complaints
of delayed deliveries are inslstent, as
the shortage OF labor and materials
continues and outputs are noticeahly
curtalled by high temperatures. The
latter, however. have impaired DC
cided stimulus to the movement Of sea-
sonablc merchandise, reducing stocks
that some retailers feared might have
to he carried over. and the weather hiss
also favored agriculture in most sec
tlons, though both spring wheat and
cotton have undnranna Soma deterlo.
