His argument tnat if the coun-

will find something else to do that
will not be SO good for them, was
applauded. His respect for lhe
theory that game birds keep down
boil weevils is not very strong
anyhow, he said, the boys are OF

Andrew Jackson's battles for him,
said the orator That, " the way

| Mr.. Editor All reforms for
the good of the people have been
brought about by agitation. ]
have uot word to say against the
road contractors. They have done
suppose, what their contracts
required them to do, and for reas-
enable compensation, but this
work is only initial, and prepara-
tory. The graders have raked up
the dirt toward the middle of the
road and have as rule left de-
preston in the middle of the road
to be filled with the falling rain
which has permeated the road bed
for the wagon wheels to cut in to
muck and mire. This is the stu
alton and it is appalling to behold
and worse to encounter. What
must be done : In some way we
must get gravel on these roads.
Now if these graders had been
followed by wagons hauling gravel
we would now have some passable
roads. Mr.. Neal was entirely
right in his version of the neces-
slty of a gravel cement roadbed
for all our highways. But says
one, we can't do the grading
work, and put on gravel. Well,
then suspend the grading work
for the time. and take the money
for this purpose, and pay men
with teams to haul gravel for the
public roads. When we do this
the real work of building roads
will commence and not until then.
This is no child's play, and may
be considered a herculean task,
but it must be q, ne, il this great
undeveloped country of ours is
ever developed. Along the Match
eZ Trace upon which | live we have
plenty of gravel from Tishomin-
90 to Allsboro, Alabama within a
q arter and a half mile of the
read which we will gladly tender
t. the county. Nr. L. O. Bishop
has asked me to say in this article
that he has fine gravel bed near
the Natchez Trace which he will
gladly give for road Improvement.
Let us widen the roads, take out
lne sudden crooks, and begin the
work Of real road building.

that he was raised by farmer
and his only liberty and pleasure
when a boy was to go rabbit hunt

work wars done. Now he has

having to pay two dollars each fo,

which is so genuinely beneficial
as a remedy for rheumatism
that j. T. Jones, of Grassland,

To any one suffering from Sci
atica, will say I was afflicted
with it for about three months.

and got no relief. Ny family
physician could not benefit me
and said might not be able to
walk ih twelve months. I could
not sit down to eat, nor walk. I
took one bottle of HAYS Specific
and went to plowing. I have
never been bothered with it
since. No one can estimate its
value for chronic scatica,. My
neighors said it would return,
but it has been two years and I
have no symptoms of it.

GARDNER IS CENTRAL FIGURE
An Important Meeting Of Prominent
Democrats Held At Excelsior
Springs, Mo.

A political gathering Of no small
significance was held at the Elms
hotel in this city, Thursday afternoon,
In which Col. Fred D. Gardner Of st.
Louis, Democratic candidate for Coy.
eruor, was the central figure.
Many Democrats from this section
Of the state, learning that Col. Gard
ner would be in Excelsior Springs on
Thursday, came in to see him and
talk over the political situation.
Among those present were farmers,
bankers, newspaper men, stockmen,
lawyers and doctors and merchants,
comprising the leading men in their
line of vocation In ten or dozen
different counties.
A partial list Of those present at
the meeting here on Thursday ia Dr..
c.. F. Enright Of st. Joseph, ". s..
Bowers Of Moberly. B. A. Shelby Of
St. Louis, Dr.. Tinsley Brown and A..
D. Crockett Of Hamilton, M. P. Moody

pendence, G. G. Jones of Cowgirl,

and Joe Crowly of Lawson, Rob Roy
Godsey Of Webb City, secretary Of
the Young Mems Democratic Club Of
the state, Andrew Craven, H. Clay
Tindall and Walter L. Bales Of this
city.
1t is generally conceded In this
part of the state that Gardner is
particularly strong with the farmers,
and it would seem that a larger por-
ton of Francis Wilson's strength
has gone over to Col. Gardner.
Col. Gardner announced here that
he positively would take no part In
any facuonal fight anywhere, that he
would not in the slightest manner
disparage the claims of the other
candidates, but his. name would be
On the ballot and the Democrats
could decide for themselves as to the
type of man they wanted. The
democracy of this state would honor
itself in making Col. Gardner. the
Democratic standard bearer.-Excel-
sior Springs Standard.

Grow More Strawberries

No place in the Ozarks can
grow finer Strawberries than are
grown in the vicinity of Mans
field. But in order to make it
profitable we must grow them in
car load lots. We should have
500 acres in this locality. 1t
would be hard to make Monett,
Neosho and Anderson believe
that the strawberry is not a good
thing to grow. 1t brings thous.
ands of dollars into these localit
les that they would never see
were it not for the berry crop.
1t also furnishes labor to large
number of people. When are we
going to do likewise?

more of a dodge than an argument,
however, and could easily be refuted

taxed Just as 1t always has been. The
