GIRLS KEEP SOL
DIERS' GRAVES GREEN

LONDON, Aug. 15.-(By Mail.)-
Twenty pretty young English girls,
clad in the khaki of the women's
army, are in France working on the
purely sentimental assignment of
keeping soldiers graves green. They
are the first batch of much larger
force to be sent over in time to see
that the resting places of England's
sons are kept covered with blan-
ket of grass and flowers.
Among the force will be sisters Of
soldiers, likely scattering of girls
whose brothers or sweethearts lie
buried behind the battlefields Of to-
day. Kew Garden is furnishing most
of the recruits.

On Proposed Road Bonds

A very good citizen of our county
is authority for the statement, and it
is based on figures, that those who
are backing the proposed $400, 600
bond issue have not really figured out
the cost of the proposition. Our in
formant says the ultimate cost, fig
uring only $40, 600 per annum for
maintenance, will total approximately
1915, 600, and that it is going to in
crease taxes. 1t is pointed out that
we cannot begin to retire the bonds
until they have run ten years. The
eleventh year the people will begin
paying off the principal, $40, 900 a
year for ten years, and a levy of
9.097; the 18th year s.. 759 mills, es-
which is about the amount after de-
duc.ing the Pierce Highway District.
OF course, if things go we'll, Clear

and you can see that the producer is
not getting all of it. There is too
much leak between the producer and
the consumer, and there ought to be
some way to facilitate business be-

manipulators. If government owner

problem then let us have government
