the Shipping Board. The next step
should be to put it to test of prac-

All sound methods of shipbuilding
are in order. The new Shipping
Board has at hand an undreamed OF
opportunity to make good. The need
and the opportunity to defeat Ger
many hinge on helping the western
allies, particularly economically de-
pendent Britain. The first need in
this direction is more ships.

National Anthem on Blacklist.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Just at this particular time Is 1t
not well that we Americans know

luncheon with a party OF friends in a
cafe. might add that. since the

regular customer. In my party was
a native OF France. and after the rem
dition by the orchestra OF the national
anthem, IL was remarked that it was
Strange that the national air OF France
was never played there. The request
was made OF the orchestra to play
THE Marseillaise." We were informed
by the leader of the orchestra that,
by order OF the manager. he was not
allowed to play 1t, although they had
the music. and that the manager had
given him instructions that IL he was
requested to play that he was to in

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
BY request of those interested in
the migratory bird treaty act. 1 beg
a few lines OF your space to call at
tention to an aspect of the matter
which il is believed has been largely
overlooked.
Unless We give vitality TO the
treaty by adopting the act requisite
TO put the treaty's provision into ef
fectl, Canada will not on her part
put the provisions OF the treaty into
active operation. The result will be
that our migratory, insectivorous
birds while nesting and rearing their
young north Of our line will not re-
ceiye protection. This directly af-
fects the. welfare OF every farmer in
this country and any injury to our
Agricultural interests Injuries the
whole country. The indiscrimfnate
killing Of these insect destroying
birds is the underlying reason for
the great increase we have had in
the past twenty years In insect pests
grain, cotton, and tree destroying.
It's essential that we encourage Can
ada to protect our birds while they
are there else she will not do IL for
up to the present she has not suffer
ed from diminution OF insect destroy
ing birds in anything like the same
ratio that we have owing to her more
sparse settlement. Every economic
and AGRICULTURAL interest Is directly
concerned in the prompt passage of
the act that this end may be accom-

WILL GIVE A DAY EACH WEEK
Oklahoma Community Going at
Road Work With System
and Enthusiasm.

Altus, Okla, Times: One would
be compelled to speak in terms Of
thousands of dollars in estimating
the actual and material results ac-
complished during the two days of
work on the route of the Ozark
trail through Jackson County last
Thursday and Friday. While in
the advancement of the interest of
the people of this county in the
cause of good roads the results
were incalculable.
1t was fine and inspiring, the
spirit displayed by the merchants
and business men of Altus, Duke
and Headrick, and by the farmers
along 3S miles of county road in
completely abandoning their bust
ness and crop preparations for two
days to meet and imingle together
and to unite themselves in a truly
patriotic and CO operative effort ip
the interest of common good.
1t is estimated by ]. A Walker
chairman of the Altus Commercial
Club Roads Committee and pro
The Jasper news., 1917-03-29

moter OF the movement to place
the Ozark trail through the county
in first class shape for Colonel
Harvey's inspection in June, and
by County Engineer Reid, who
was associated with Mr.. Walker in
the preparation and carrying out
the plans for the work, that fully
500 men and 900 teams were en-
gagged in systematic and intelli-
gently directed work during the
two days. Additional we're an i'm
mense assemblage of road building
machinery. ..
The work, plans and specifi ca
tons for which had been previous
ly prepared by County Engineer
Reid, was divided into sections
and over each section was placed
a captain.
While great deal of work was
done all along the line, but few OF
the Jobs were finished. One mile
of clay road, 16 feet wide and IL
inches deep, was built across Salt
Fork river valley; the grade at
Cottonwood creek near Duke was
completed, as was also the grade
at Sinking creek east Atlus; the fill
at Plow Valley schoolhouse was
The Jasper news., 1917-03-29

finished; the hill east of Headrick
was cut to a five per cent grade.
In order to complete the unfin.
ished work it has been agreed by
all the towns and workers to de.
vote one day in each week to the
road from now until June begin
ming with Thursday of next week.
From now on, Mr.. Walker announ-
ces, it will be the plan to complete
the work by sections, starting with
the Headrick hill
1t is the faith, hope and con-
viction of every man who labored
during the two days of last week in
the effort to build 38 miles of first
class highway through Jackson
county that when the date of the
official inspection in June rolls
around Colonel Harvey and party
will be able to put 'er in high" at
the North Fork bridge and &C
through to the west county line al
60 miles an hour and never sustain
a jolt.

Lines 70 Be Remembered.

But the finest music in the room Is
that which streams, out to the ear Of
the spirit in many an exquisite strain
from the hanging shelf of books on
the opposite wall. Every volume there
is an instrument Which some melodist
of the mind created and set vibrating
with music as flower shakes out It's
perfume or star shakes out its light.
Only listen, and they soothe all care,
as though the silken-soft leaves of pop
pies had been made vocal and poured
into the ear.-James Lane Allen.

Claude Perrault was one of the rare

born in 1913, being the brother Of
Charles Perrault, the notedtbarrister,
through whose influence he became
architect of the Louvre. The colon
made Of this building, which he erect
ed, is regarded as one Of the finest
creations Of its kind Of the seventeenth
century.

Some of the songs of Norway con-

which must surely be a hard test to the
memory of the singers. Sometimes
two singers will have a duet in such
a song, singing verse after verse alter
nately. He whose memory, or in de-
fault of memory, invention, fails him
first is loser.-From Norway, by Nlco

BACKWARD" THOUGHTS.

AS / think backward tonight of
the incidents and beautiful SUR
roundings of the little City of Jas
per, l cannot help but admire the
pluck and vim that most of the
citizens had to help the city of Jas
per grow in size, beauty and
strength.
When I landed there in the fall
of 1888, there were very few busi-
ness houses on Grand avenue. and
the majority were filled up with
baled hay because there were no
big hay barns in the city at that
time.
Our genial friend, Bob Childers,
was the postmaster then, and it
was due to his own activity that
Jasper began to take on life. He
was hindered a great deal by the
backbiters infesting the city, but
Jasper really owes the greatest
amount of its growth to his good
citizenship and loyalty to the city.
George Doran was another aid to
the city. He was very strong in
his efforts to do good for the up
building of Jasper, and succeeded
we'll, even if he did get "salted' in
the second we'll on Grand avenue
by the boys
really believe there were other
people who had an eye on the same
subject, but we're actually afraid to
come out and help, because the
neighbors might talk.
In all my wanderings, l have
never seen any city I liked better
than Jasper City. Now see clear
ly that l never had happier and
more pleasant time anywhere than
I did while there. 1t has proven
itself to me that it was my first
real love. Many happy moment
| have spent going around doing
what l could and paying strict at
tention to my vocation. l never
listened to the jibcs and remarks
by the shippers, but went ahead and
did what | had in mind. so that |
could make a success in life later
on when l woul d be away from Jas.
per, and now My hopes are begin
ming to be reali sed. I hold the en-
tire respect and confidence Of each
one l meet, as well as gaining my
employers appro baton and high
respect. | collect hundreds of dol
lars each week, set tie disputes. sell
goods, and take my own sweet time
in delivering and Sc ling. Iget gas
and room free, and good wages on
top of all.
l would like to- hear from all old
friends of Jasper. and propose that
each one write to the News editor
and tell him, so tn at he can have
a month or more of good home
reading, 1t will do us good if we
will do this. It's up to you.
