road would be. II it was in good con-
dltion the people could travel from
Ironton to Bunker and back again in
one day. This would also connect with
the auto road from Centerville to
Salem to Springfield, or almost any
where else. II we had such road we
could get out chickens, butter and
eggs or anything else to the st. Louis
market in a few hours; now it takes
two or three days. Then it one could
get his produce to market in lew
hours he could get much more for it
than we do.
Well, of course you will say that
you haven't got any auto, and those
that own them charge so much to
drive you any where you can't afford
it. You may say that can 60 in my
wagon, 80 | won't help work the road.
All right; which is the cheapest? Hire
team for two days at $3.50 per day
or car fer half day at 500 per
day. If we had good'roads we could
go as far and back in half day as We
could with team and wagon in two
days. Which is the most pleasant and
the cheapest? ...
Good roads are just as much an ad-
vantage to one who teams as any one
else. and there are lots of teaming all
along this line.
Now, people and fellow citizens,
may say few words about the road
from Glover to Centerville? About
ten years ago ! lived at Lesterville
and hauled hubs and lumber from
Lesterville to Sabula, and the hill was
almost impossible. Some times the
road down Carver Creek was in a
terrible condition. No one tried to put
the road in good shape. Well, what
happened? Some of the citizens along
the Glover and Centerville road want
ed to fix it so autos could run over it.
Then they began to work to accom-
plish their want. Now, they have a
good road SO they can enjoy theil
trips to the railroad, Glover or Sa'
bula. Who Ia the loser and who il
gamer in the road?
The road from Ironton to Bunker
can be built much easier because We
haven't any water that will have tt
be bridged, as the people between
Centerville and Glover had.
This road from Ironton to Bunker
Is about As miles in length, and IL cal
be put in first class condition in yea
or two If the people will donate day
out OF every month Of the year. W.
all lie around a day or two In each
month, SO let's work the road one da!
in each month for few years. Thi
IL the only way we will have goo'
roads. Our poll tax won't build any
thing.
You're, for better roads,
ARTHUR FRANCIS.

The Prussian War Cult.

ut tNitL4Iiis l>ftEt1iAf 'sAfB
It is difficult for Americans to COM
prehend the quality of mind that re-
joices in killing women and children
by dropping bombs on dwellings and
schoolhouses, when no object of mill
tary value can possibly be gained.
They do not understand blo0dthirsti-
ness.
The military caste that now rules
Germany was brought up in the cult
Of war, and, after all the fine phrases
are said, bloodthirst is the ground
/ work Of the Prusslan cult. In order
. to believe in war for its own sake, as
| the Prussian nobility generally does,
| one must believe in the righteouness
OF shedding enemy blood wherever it
is found.
Tamburlaine and Janghiz Khan un-
derstood it. SO did Bismarck. He
condemned any laniency toward
French civilians who resisted Prussian
soldiers as "a culpabie laziness in kill
ing." adding; "Our people are good
! marksmen, but poor executioneers. :"
He bitterly regretted taking any more
French prisoners, instead of shooting
them down on the spot. Concerning
a Prussian colonel who gave French
woman safe conduct to come and
plead for her husbands life, the
chancellor expressed the opinion that
he was certainly OF his head!
In the Prussian cult of war mercy is
the grand heresy, the most intoler-
able fault. The business is to kill; any
one who does not 20 to that business
joyfully is no better than an apostate
and renegade. The execution of the
English nurse, Miss Cavell, was un-
doubtedly a deep satisfaction to the
German military mind-an acceptable
Offering to its god.
1t is against this bloody, british,
Prussian cult Of war that America is
now in arms. There can be no peace
until the German people renounce it,
domination.

Whereas, the State Council Of De-
fense has recommended that the 2Sth
day of July, 1917, be set apart for
special effort in the study OF problems
in connection with the war with
specific reference to the work of the
state, county and city councils of de-
tense; and,
Whereas, these articulated councils
of defense constitute the machinery
by which the state is endeavoring to
render assistance to the nation in this
great crisis, and it is important that
knowledge OF their authority, purpose,
duty and line of work be disseminated
among the people;
Therefore, l, Frederick D. Gardner,
governor of Missouri, hereby pro-
claim Saturday, July 2S, Missouri
Patriotic Day, and callupon the city,
county and township councils of de-
fense to provide for assembling the
people in their usual community
gathering places for the purpose OF
public discussion of the war plans OF
the National and State Council OF De-
fense and considering ways and means
by which every citizen may aid in this
great work and help to mobilize all
the available resources Of the state.
further advise that on the same
day all Missouri women should regis
ter for service and for food conserva'
ton, and agree to carry out the plans
of tho federal food commission inso-
far as they are able.
earnestly ask also that the mayors
Of the cities, towns and villages OF
Missouri issue proclamations calling
attention to the importance OF the
celebration of Patriotic Day and re-
quest the help of the people OF their
community in making the celebration
and the food registration y Thorough
success.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and affixed the
Great Seal of the State Of Missouri.
Done ut the City of Jefferson thi'
7th day of July, A. d. 1917.
FREDERICK D. GARDNER,
Governor.

TORPID LIVER, DIZZINESS
INDIGESTION, CONSTIPATION
All These Troubles Relieved One Family By The Use bedos
BackDraught Nothing Found That Could Take Its Place.

Springerton. Ill.-Mr. ". F. Rister,
Of this town. says, For fifteen
years We have used Thedford's Black.
Draught and have not as yet found
anything that could take its place.
have used 1t for indigestion a number
OF times and 1t gives relief. For sour
stomach, and heavy, bloated feeling.
1t Is splendid. And when the liver
gets torpid, so when you stoop and
raise up suddenly you feel dizzy. q
few doses will set you straight. We
keep 1t and use 1t for constipation and
tho above troubles and find 1t most
satisfactory.
I can recommend 1t to others and
gladly do SO. For the number Of
years I've used Black Draught now. !

Soon the name "iron Mountain"
will be only memory in Missouri. a
half century ago the deposit of iron
ore bearing that name was the most
famous in all the land. For years the
output from these mines was hauled
by teams to Ste. Genevieve for trans
portation on the Mississippi river.
Later on three score years or ago
the Iron Mountain railroad was built
from st. Louis to haul the iron ore
to the big smelters and steel mills of
Carondelet. Manipulations by Big
Business killed the iron industries Of
Carondelet aud the mining business
along the Iron Mountain road de-
clined.
Iron Mountain was an oval shaped
hill standing alone. Except for the
core of the mountain it was OF loose
soft formation, offering an easy
proposition by hydraulics for securing
the ore. The mountain is gonemin-
ed and shipped away.
For three quarters of a century the
Iron Mountain railroad has been one of
the chief arteries OF commerce in the
middle west. Jay Gould, the railroad
wizard, saw its possibilities and made
OF it connecting link in his vast
system of roads. 1t has earned vast
sums of money - enough to keep
other lines connected with it from be.
coming bankrupt. 1t has furnished

toric from ante bellum times, during

suit the pleasures Of its managers.
There was time when the name Of
railroad signitied its geographical
location. Now, through the combina-
ton of many roads into "system," !"
the name signifies combination Of
power and interests, rather than q
route which we may wish to travel.
The right to change the name of
their own property can not be denied
to these manipulators OF railroads,
but in the hearts of the older people
Is a regret that tho name Of the line
by which their journeys have been
made must be changed.
"IrDn Mountain, the Scenic Route"

Arcadia Valley, Gads Hill, Tip Top,
The Shut In and other places famous
among lovers Of Ozark scenery, have
been taken off the Iron Mountain rail-
road and placed upon the time tables
OF the Missouri Pacific.
This may be good iinanciering, but
1t IN void OF sentiment and OF appre.
citation for the traditions that make a
country great through its legends, its
history and its clinging to the glorieu
OF the past.

The great riots in East st. Louis have
brought the people of the United
States, as q whole, to realize that
there is as much sentiment against
the negroes In the North az In the
South, with one very appreciable
difference in favor of the latter. In
the South, the wrath Of q mob is al
ways directed against negro as an
individual, while, in the North, the
mob is governed solely by the color.
The Southern man will readily join n
mob to lynch or to burn negro who
has been guilty OF the great crime
against white woman, but all other
innocent negroes may continue in the
even tenor of their way, while the
Northern man goes forth to clay ev-
cry person who bears the black skin,
whether he be guilty or innocent.
There Is lesson in the recent riot
for both sections Of the Union, and
one that 1t would be we'll to consider.
For one thing, tho negro can not be
placed on social equality with the
whites, without serious detrlment to
both races. 1t degrades the white
and only serves to make the negro
insolent and presumptuous. The
North offers to the negro this equality,
the South denies II to him on every
occssIons He goes, a. he thinks,
among his friends and equals In the
North, and the wine Of this seeming
equality intoxicates him, with tho
result that he prssumss upon the
tolerance OF the white man until 10
hes gone too far, whsn the mob
desuends upon him and hls EApe, md
