CAN IF THEY WILL.

A week or so ago we told our read
cIs that if every road overseer would
try 10 make the section of road over
which he was boss, just little better
than those joining him on either end,
We would have good roads in Ohio
county. We also said that if each
land owner would see to it that the
section of road that borders his prop
erty was properly worked and put in
shape we would also have good roads.
We clip the following notice from
the Cadz Record to show you just
what the farmers can do in the mar:
ter OF building roads if they will. 1t
was limited that the farmers OF Ingg
county would lose their rural free
delivery service if the roads were not
made passablc, so they got busy says
the Record;
"When the Trigg County Develop
mcnt Association "hinted" to the
road oversecrs that the conditions Of
the roads were such that there was
danger of losing Especial delivery
they sent out a hurried call and the
change that has hocn made in our
thoroughfarcs has hcon marvellous.
The farmers can, If they will, have
good roads in every section. There
should be no road "slackcrs," hut cv.

SNAKE STORIES

Two snake stories, the first in
many months, appear in today's pa
per. Modoc, in his Nerrimac letter,
tells an interesting snake yarn, while
the following was picked up Monday
from a Ravwick gentleman whose
reputation for veracitv can not ques-
toned.
According to this gentleman, Nat
Beckett, while moving pile of lum-
Der which had been stacked near the
Rolling Fork for some time, found
two large copperhead snakes. AL
though he has a game\leg as the re-
suit of fall sustained two years
ago, Mr.. Beckett did not beat a hasty
retreat but grabbed a stick and killed
both reptiles. He had hardly finish
ed killing the two snakes when sud
denly another large snake and ten
smaller ones appeared from some
where, and, according to the story
resented Mr.. Bickett's interference
The latter never faltered and in
few minutes had killed all thirteer
snakes. Mr.. Beckett Immediately at
ter killing the reptiles showed then
to Bernard Leak and his two sons
Werner and Newman who were onl!
a short distance away, and If furthe
proof is wanted Of his snake-killin'
ability it can be obtained by REFER
ing to any of these gentlemen.

OUR WA R."

As time passes, we are beginning to realize more and more that this is not rich mans war. It is war in which every man, whether he is rich or poor who comes within the specified ages and who qualities physically. must fight for his country.
 There is no chance for a man of money to buy his way out of the army, as has been done in other wars. Fur thermore, we don't believe there are many young men, who have large supply worldly goods, who want to buy their way dut. If census could be taken of the rich men snd their sons who are now fighting in the armies of this country and our allies, we are sure it would prove conclu- sively that the men of moderate means do not have to shoulder any more of the burdens of war than do those who are wealthy.
 For the first time in the history of the country, Uncle Sam has drawn no line between the wealthy and the poor.
