to use it on a trip which would
have been one of pleasure and
not of business. 1t has been put
up to US that joy-riding in this

STIRRING EN- UP.


ceived the honor of being APP
pointed overseer on one OF the
boulevards of Marion. 1t was ar
honor that came unsolicited anC
unsought, and principally be-
cause ne did some work on ar
almost impossible road last spring
voluntarily, backed up by A. l..
Robertson, one of the Pike Roao
Commission, which the people
have voted good, if it was rough
work and without any frills.
Friday he had his first exper'
fence at warning" the road
hands, and it was unique. II
Cameron, the author of the road
law, had been present, in spiritu
only, his ghost would have turned
paler-if possibleAhad it heard
the adjurations. condemnatlons
and maledictions ascending to
the skies.
One man who has three teams
of mules and one wagon said he
would bring them all, but didn't
see what good they could do.
One of the mules is a man-killer
and the editor-overseer is per-
picked as to what to do with it
during the two-days' service. If
Uncle Sam would only let the
Kaiser come over on Oct. 7th and
9th that mule could be turned
loose" at him. 1t wouldn't ex-
actly be road work, and the edi-
tor-overseer might be liable to
indictment for improper use of
road resources, but it would be a
relief to the country at large to
dispose of the Kaiser, and that
mule is warranted to fix his clock.
This man is also liable for road
service himself, and his total
road tax is $3.50.
Another man who has been
trying to enrich a physician for
the last three months, and who
is at his wits ends to make both
ends meet, was very nice over
the matter. He asked the editor
overseer if he had any time in
which to pay the $500 road tax,
as he could not afford to leave
his job and put in four days at
the colossal sum of 75c per day.
He was assured that report would
not be made until Dec. /, when
the editoroverseer had to report
the result of his perambulations
and discussions to the road au
thorities at Jasper. He seemed
greatly relieved at that inform
alton and remarked that he felt
much better as he also had to run
down some money to pay for the
war saving stamps he had agreed
to take.
Another man who found out
his tax was $3.50 said it was all
right for he was lucky enough to
have some hogs to sell and the
county trustee was contemplate
ing buying them. He seemed
greatly relieved over the situa-
ton and justly so, but if County
Trustee Rogers has started in to
buy hogs to help the citizens OF
Marion to pay their road taxes,
he has difficult job on hand, al
most as big as the editor-over-
seer aforesaid.
There are lots of other quaint
and curious things that should be
recorded as coming up in the af-
ternoon's outing, but all cannot
be quoted. One farmer, very
hospitable old fellow. when asked
by the editor-overseer if he
thought any of the inhabitants of
a nearby cemetery would like to
work the road, said he didn't
know. that he had never seen
any of them rambling around
and that they were the quietest

The boys will thus be supplied with

AS an example, cigarettes that sell
in Missouri for Is cents per package
will be supplied at the huts for . and

that sells for 5 cents in Missouri will
be sold for a little more than 4 cents
there.
