passed her eighteenth year brushed
aside all difficulties, and the young
people soon had things going their

COUNTY ROADS.
Supervisors Asked to Make Gen.
eral Improvements.

Editor Reveille:
I note that our county fathers)
the Board of Supervisors will soon
take trip over our highways to
see IL they have been widened
and graded according to con-
tract. I suppose they will note
several other items that need their
immediate attention.
suggest FIRST, that If they ride
In an automobile they will see
when they meet traveller on
hore back, that when he hears
their muf1er the best part OF the
right of way Is given to automo.
biles, and the horseman goes to
wait their passing by. They will
observe the same thing. horse We
hicles take to the bitches until the
motor car speeds by. This fact
proves that the turns, corners and
lanes are too narrow for horse
carriages and horsemen to keep on
their journeys without stopping at
every coming motor passenger car.
Second, The second class should
be given an examination as well as
the first class ones In regard to the
number of gates across them with
or without permission from the
Board of Supervisors. This Is
nuisance that should be abolished.
and IS too much of "Hindenbere
line" Tor the travelling public. It
consumes time to get out and get
off to open and to get in and to get
on to -hut the gates; and who are
the ones that are favored with
gates? Echo says the large land
owners: no small land holders have
such privileges. Now, If we must
have these barriers through our
public rosdways 1t would be equity
TO require the person to whom such
permit Is granted that he have
some one to open and to shut the
gate for chauffeur driver, WAGNER
and rider. He can emulate the
nableman and plutocrat by having
a lodge built on his estate and the
gate keeper will always be there
to harken to the wayfarer for
through passage. This custom Is
a relic OF toll gates days, and Its
continuance has brought about toll
gate wars in the turnpike COM
monwealths of Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Ohio and indiana.
Third, The fords of baYous and
creeks are never inspected, and
they should receive Investigation.
They are scarcely ever graded to
permit safe driving-and moreover
after every freshet the washouts
make them dangerous to man,
woman and child. Again, at such
places on Big Black, Big and Lit
tie Bavou Pierre, a ferrYman
should be stationed during high
stages of water to carry man and
teams.
Fourth, Our bridges should
awake our county supervisors.
Many of them are without rail
guards, particularly at their ap-
proaches The wonder Is accidents
have not happened. though one

situation the coming year unless
we prepare to meet it. First we
must realize that good land is q

already good it must be made SO
before it can be profitably tarmed.
The clovers offer the easiest road
to making farm rich and there
fore a shortage of seed affects US
materially. There is but one way
to solve this and that is to plant
these crops this year with the in
tention of saving seed next year
If we can't plant large acreages OF
crimson and burr clover to turn
under plant a small acreage OF
each OF one to save for seed. Burr
clover will make on the average
from seventy TO one hundred
bushels of seed to the acre and
crimson clover will commonly
turn out FIVE bushels to the acre;
Let every farmer raise enough OF
these two crops so that be can so"

will enrichen quickly. When We
have 10 pay dollar and halt fo'

do the land building will be slow.

MARKET INACTIVE;
 PRICES FALL OFF
General List Closes Barely Stea- dy at Generally Lower Figures UnfavOrable Russian Develop ments UnSettle Sentiment.

New York, Nov. 13.-The cotton market was less active today with fluctuations comparatively narrow and irregular. After selling at 27.30 early January declined to 27.13 and closed at 27.16 with the general list closing barely steady at a net advance of 6 points on December, but generally 2 to points lower.
 hTe opening was steady at an ad- vance of points to a decline of l point. Houses with Liverpool connec- tions were good buyers, while there was trade buying and the active months worked about to 15 points above last nights closing figures dur ing the first few minutes. This ad- vance carried December up to 28.08c, while March sold at 26.71, with the relative strength of the near position refecting trade demand and covering combined with the continued steadi- ness of Southern spot markets. The duNdIlCt lnGl IllOtS oOullltiH SSlllAS' particularly from the Southwest, and the market turned easier late in the morning under scattering liquidation which came partly from Wall street sources. Probably the easier turn in the stock market and rumors of un- favorable Russian developments help ed to unsettle sentiment, but after selling off to 2793 for December and 26.50 for March, or about net un- changed, to II points net lower, the market steadied on renewed covering. It was reported that private returns indicated domestic mill consumption of 562, 2,000 bales for October against 523,000 for September and 551 ,000 for October last year.

.14S QUESTIONS FOR
 DRAFT REC|STRANTS
QuestiOnnaire to Determine the Fitness of Each of Remaining Nine Million Registrants and Order of Call for Service.
United Press Special.

United Press Special.
 Washington, Nov. 14.-One hundred and forty-eight questions for the re- maining nine million draft registrants to answer beginning December 18th, were made public today.
 They constitute a searching inquiry into each mans life and fitness, and determine through the action of local draft boards, the order of his call to military service.
 The questionnaire automatically re- vokes all exemptions and discharges under the first draft.
 Failure to return his answers in seven days after receiving the ques- tions makes the registrant liable to a year in prison. Such men may be certified into the first class itself.
 Mailing of the list by local boards constitutes legal notice to the regis trant. Failure to receive it does not excuse him.
 Even after answering the question: naire if the mans status changes and he does not report it within five days to his board, he is subject to a year in prison. .-
 The minimum number of questions each man must answer is about twen- ty-siX; maximum about one hundred.
