Christian Greetings.

friends, who may chance to reaC
our this article,
AS our heart go out to oul
heavenly Father this beautiful
day with gratitude for his good,
ness and mercy in the past, we
have in mind two pictures which
we have been meditating upon
concerning the going out of sum-
mer and the coming in of autumn.
When we think of the many op-
portunities afforded US this pass
ing season, and of what we
might have done and ought to
have done; and when we think
of the thousands, who are out of
Christ, walking in darkness, and
If they would only take time to
stop and think for one moment
and give their own conscience a
chance to speak, which would
say over and over, again these
sad words. 'The harvest is past
the summer is end, and Pm not
saved" When we look at this
picture our hearts are made sad,
and we wonder in our own mind
have we done our best to influ-
ence those lost ones, and have
we pointed them as we should to
the Lamb of God that taketh a.
way the sin of the world. Have
we made every effort possible to
bring about a penticostial revival
where God can manifest himself
in mighty power, and men un-
der deep conviction for sin may
ask, what must we do to be
saved?" Let all christians who
have been born Of the spirit, ask
themselves this question, have
| done my best? While these are
sad facts to think about Pm glad
that Jesus Christ is still at the
right hand of God making inter-
cessions for us, and Gods arm is
not shorteded that he cannot
reach, and his ear is not dull
that he caunot hear our cry for
mercy.
Let us call upon'him while he
is near, for he is indeed mighty
to save to the uttermost, and if
we only comply with the .condi-
lions laid down in, his precious
word. May our heavenly Father
help each and every one of US,
who hear his great name to re-
new our covenant with Him and
do our best by his grace and
help in the future, better than
we have in the past.
The passing seasons are Won
derful and the christion should
thank God and praise Him for
every one of them. We have
just passed through the summer
with its warm sunshine, refresh
ing showers, beautiful flowers,
fruits, vegetation, and all of its
golden opportunities. And we
are now entering into Autumn,
with its cool breeze, what a won
derful change. How bracing it
is to our bodies, how thankful
we should be to our heavenly
Father for this change. Then
comes the good winter with it's
white robe which is a cymbol of
purity, and gives us an opportuni-
ty to close ourselves in from the
noise and clammer of the world
that we can have time time to
think and rest our .ssouls, and
study the word of God and enrich
our minds and hearts with its
precious truths.
Oh, that men and women every
where would praise the Lord for
His goodness and mercy that en-
dureth forever. He is wonder
full to be praised, His ways are

years this would mean saving OF
over 5000, 900 or enough to take care
of the bond issue, interest and sink
ing fund and save a million to the
growers and farmers.
He described the method of build
ing the proposed roads and said that
they were the last word in modern
construction. He said that absolute
honesty was assured the people by
the County Commissioners, the Bond
Trustees and the Advisory Board.
That they realized that 1t was the
peoples money that they would be
dealing with and would safeguard
their interest to the utmost. Vote
for the bonds" he urged, "and let the
County Commissioners do what Is
rational, what common sense demands
to be done for the people in the mat
ter of roads"
! He briefly referred to the phenomi-
nal growth of Los Angeles County,
California. stating that the population
had grown from 1900 to 100000 and
that land had increased in value from
$500 per acre to $1,000 and $lo,O0O
liner acre, simply because they had
lhad the foresight to bond for $50,OOO,-
600 dollars for improvements.
Explaining the proposed bond issue
line told that it does not mean the pay
ling all the money now, but spreads
the payments over those who will
come into the county in the next
twenty years, making them pay their
. share. Any other system means that
the people will pay now and that
others will enjoy what they have not
maid for. That the people would pc
blind to their opportunities In voting
against the bond issue, and that II the
o bond issue is defeated that 1t will
l. cost the peole OF Polk county $4,000
q 600 in Is years and be an actual loss
q 1.-THE short road to the building OF
II good laterals is to vote for the bono
II ,issue" he exclaimed. He also re
r. ferred to the fact that the contractors
u have agreed to buy all materials tne'
at can and use all teams and labor the!
re can get in the county, and not go on
ne side IL they can help it, which woul'
In mean that two-thirds Of the bond if
at sue. or 100000 will be left IN tn
ne county.
M ]. Walker Pope, spoke next an
CO said that there was one thing tina
ed the people wanted to remember an
nd that was that the farmers and citrr
I'm growers and others Of the rural po
In ulation paid only onefourth OF Il
nd taxes in Polk county, the balance D.
ne ing paid by the corporations and u
ad cities. That it should be clearly U
to derstood that the proposed bond
sue was only a lien on the taxes
ar. the present rate Of millage, not
on extra burden, that was all there W
aul to it, nothing more, and does not ne
hat essarily mean an increase in taxatic
ost At the close of Mr.. Pope's adore
uld question were asked and satisfact'
un. lily explained by the speakers a

Der. ing closed with the assurance tn

to easily finance the whole PROPOSE
ton.
That the Polk County Good Roads
Association is composed Of the best
men in the county, all interest, being
represented, and that they will see
that the interest of the whole people
is properly taken care Of and see
that the laterals are built as rapidly
as possible.
He urged his hearers to put aside all
selfishness and vote for the common
good of the whole county. you are
even now" he exclaimed" paying for
roads that you are not getting. Why
not get what you are paying for by
voting for the bond issue. The
Imoney you are paying now Is being
absolutely wasted on the type OF
roads that we have at present. The
passage of the bond issue will release
the convicts from work that they are
. now uOInB anu ouuuAO ShO OS
sioners to put them to work on the
!. laterals."
q CLAY roads" said DR.. Ross, cost
more than they are worth. The coun'
a ty treasury is being impoverished by
II such roads, in the expense OF trying
d to keep them in proper repair. and
II 1t can not be done. He stated EN-
r. phatically that IL the County Com
Ia rissioners attempted to keep the pres
ent clay roads in the county in prope
q. condition that 1t would exhaust tn
ID road fund and urged the building Q
Il permanent roads needing little r.
va pairs and that the Commissioner
al would then have money to build othe
. roads.
Il He believed the laterals would
built sooner on account OF the bull
ing OF the good roads as 1t would tai
of the Road Fund the large overhes
charges due to upkeep on the presel
roads, and that II this is not done
o would be a long time, before the late
ais could be built. That the plan oil
lined means durable roads and tn
the $4,000 per annum will take ca
of the roads. He predicted that Z
assessed valuation of Polk county
the next FIVE years will exceed II
of the past five years and that t
lCounty Commissioners will have a
ple funds. He assured his audien
THAT the taxes would not be increas
by the bond issue and that the DO

ticularly he said that 1t now cost
