SURE OF ROAD FUND
Galloway County Court and the Dis,
triet Commissioners Give $500
Bonds to Be Issued.

The commissioners Of the Fulton
special road district and the Galloway
county court have subscribed $500
toward a fund of 5000 which is to
be used in building sixteen miles of
permanent road on the Old Trails
Highway east of Fulton TO the Mont
gomery county line. Residents of the
district in which the load is to be
built will vote $4,000 in bonds No
yember "a and give $4,000 in personal
subscriptions for the work, and the
state and federal governments will
give $37,5O0 as their part on the work.
The success Of the bond issue is as
sured by the contributions made to-
day.
Arrangements have been made with
the state highway department to Sc
cure the use of rock crushers, graders,
trucks and other equipment in doing
the work next summer, and plans also
have been formed TO use conyicts on
the job. The building of the road will
complete all of Galloway county's part
of the Old Trails, except six and one
half miles west of Fulton, where a spe.
cial district will be formed this week.
After its formation a bond issue will
be submitted and probably will be
carried.

OPPOSES LONG TERM BONDS
Dean Mccaustland Of the State Univer-
slty Gives Some Timely Hints
or Road Financing.

One OF the most disturbing features
in connection with the present day
road propaganda is the almost unlver-
sal custom Of attempting to finance
the projects by long-term bonds. Many
writer's have called attention to the
danger involved in the combination of
long-term bonds and short-lived high
ways, according to Dean E. ]. McCaust-
land of the University of Missouri
Cases are on record where money re-
ceived from forty to fifty-year bond
issues have been expended in highway
construction that could not have a
maximum life of more than ten years.
Recent reports from a large southern
state show that nearly so per cent of
the bonds that have been issued in
that state for highway work have a
term Of forty years. 1t is clear that in
such cases the roads constructed will
be worn out, rebuilt. and probably at
the limit of second life by the time
the bonds have matured. 1t Will be
the ancient story repeated, paying
for a dead horse
There is great need Of more careful
study of methods of highway financ-
ing, the Missouri engineering expert
urges. The problem is distinct from
that of financing an industrial plant
or a railroad project. There is no.
question of profits, and ordinary pre-
cautions are likely 70 be ignored. The
tendency to saddle future generations
with the full expense Of public inn
proyements is one that should be
sharply curbed. To pay as we go"
is not to be interpreted as to require
present payment for Improvement that
will serve a future generation. It
should be held, however, to mean full
payment for present service, and to ex-
pect from the next generation neither
more MOI less. II must not be forgot
ten that our children will have their
own financial burdens, in their time,
even as we now have ours.

State University Doctor Urges
More Care in Treatment
of the Attacks.
MAY LEAD TO OTHER DISEASES
The System Is Weakened, Thus Giving
other Germs a Chance to Get
In Their Work.

The frequency with which people are
afflicted with so-called common
colds" causes us to be rather neglect
full in our care and treatment OF this
condition. says DR.. o. F. Bradford of
the University of Missouri by way OF
warning. Colds, like many other com
mon diseases, are caused by germs.
Many of these germs are the same
as those causing more serious condi-
items, such as grip, pneumonia,
measles, whooping- cough, scarlet fe-
yer and tuberculosis. We may readily
see, then, that the common cold"
may be the beginning Of a serious
condition. If we get wet or become
chilled we may lower the body re-
sistance and allow the simple infec-
ton to go on to an infection of the
lungs, or pneumonia, which may re-
suit in death.
Whether the cold be due to simple
germs which will cause relatively lit
tie harm, or whether it be due to some
of the more dangerous germs which
may terminate in a serious disease,
1t is easily transferred from one per-
son to another. If a child sits in
school close to another having a cold,
or any of these types. he will readily
contract the disease. Even if the
cold be mild it may lower the in
dividuals vitality to such an extent
that he may contract some other dis
ease, should it be present.
The n of coldstis simple enough
providing we follow the right course.
Generally speaking, a good cathartic
in the early stage Of the disease is
necessary. Plenty of fresh air is the
second necessity. Rich, mild foods,
such as milk, butter, eggs, custards
and the like are also essential. Do
not give the child much meat while
he has one of these attacks. Do not
allow him to get chilled or become
too warm.
