from Miss Fanny NJ. Markham of
Pittsburgh, Kansas, who vas for so
many, many years the loved and
respected teacher in the primary

ache to read the names of my boys
that were caught by the draft. 1t

fathers and mothers. Four years ago
we would not have believed such a
war possible, would we? 1t would
have been unthinkable. May it come
to All end soon!n

A delegation from the southern pa
of the county was before the count
court Tuesday in reference to tt
3 building of the proposed State Higl
way through this county. 1t seen
t that no state or federal aid is availab
for this road until the county max
an expenditure; then state and feder
authorities appropriate a sum equal
h that expended by the county. Thel
will be no county funds available I'M
the taxes are collected this fall al
winter. Then, it is estimated the
will be between $4,000 and $4,000 I
a the State Highway. The delegate
k before the county court was anxio
y for work to begin on the roads
once. They propose advancing t
r. money provided the court will !
a imburse them when the taxes are c
:. lected. An arrangement to that c
a feet will probably be made in I
near future. The proposed Stat
:. Highway follows the railroad fro
N Tip Top to the southern end OF t
. county.
