To the assistant chief, Harry Teet-
ers, and to each member Of the de-
partment, desire to extend my sin
cere thanks for the efficient service
rendered. 1t is largely due to their
effective work that the fire losses dur
ing the past year have not been
heavier. They have been faithful,
prompt and intelligent and loyal in
the discharge OF their duties. I also
desire to thank the honorable Mayor.
Ed. s. Lotion, and Commissioners

THE COST OF THE
AMERICAN FLAG


THERE should be a flag pole erect
I'd Ia the Audrain County Court House
yard. and a large American flag dis.
played Immediately. As a matter Of
fact, a large service nag with a star
Tor every Audrain county soldier,
should also be displayed.
This matter has been discussed for
sometime by citizens Of the county,
and attention has been called to the
lack Of a faE, especially by travel
ing men who find American flags
and service flags are displayed from
court houses throughout this entire
country. On inquiring into the mat
ter, we find that something is said
about the cost. Whoever heard Of
'the cost of the American flag be-
ing discussed. especially during the
war. II arrangements are made to
look after the details Of the matter,
and the county does not care 10 stand

Rev. Noah Dale would preach that
night in the Christian Church. had
known him in Kentucky when | was a
boy. He had been very kind to my
sister when she was a girl and had
been instrumental in getting her into
the Midway Orphan School, where she
obtained a good education. ! thought
| could not do less than to hear him
preach, recall myself to his memory
and thank him for his kindness to my
sister; so with friends / went to
church before services began. II was
a cool evening and a fire was burning
in a box stove about the center Of the
room. | sat down by the stove and
was engaged in conservation when
Colonel Jacks, an elder in the church,
came in. He walked down to the pull
pit platform where he looked around
and saw me. He stood there three or
four minutes pulling his long chin
whiskers, which he has since shaved
off, walked back to where | was sit
ting and offered his hand which | took
gladly-thus ending in happy manner
the feud betwixt us twain. l recently
appointed him Journal Clerk Of the
House.
Where Norton and | were as deter
mined to go to Congress as any two
men that yer lived, l doubt whether
either one would have entered the con-
test if on the twentieth day Of March
we could have read the Bood of Fate
sufficiently to realize the labor, tur-
MOL, and risks we were compelled
to endure before August 31st.
| am still in Congress and l am glad
to inform the readers hereof that my
antagonist and friend, with a com
Portable competency, is enjoying his
otium cum dignitate, and that every
moment he can snatch from his lucra-
tive law practice he spends on his mag
nificent plantation of three thousand
acres of the richest land under the
sun, amply supplied with blooded
stock Of every kind.

HEALTH CONDITION OF ARMY
BEST IN THE WORLD

The honest truth is that the health
conditions Of the American Army,
Notwithstanding they have gone
through the most severe winter of a
half century, is by far the best of that
of any other army in the world.
The death rate from disease per an
nun Of the American troops is s SOL
diers out of a thousand.
In the spanish-American War the
death rate per annum of the Ameri-
can Army from disease was rs SOL
diers out Of a thousand.
In the China-Japanese War the
death rate per annum from disease
was Is soldiers out Of a thousand.
In the Russo-Japanese War the
death rate per annum from disease
was 20 out Of a thousand. - Extract

Boundaries Of the new road district
in southwest Galloway that is to en-
brace the territory between the Fulton
Special Road District and South Cedar

Of the committee in charge of the

vii Include part Of the Ozark Trails
Road from Jefferson City to Mex
10 and Hannibal.
It is estimated that the district has
az assessed valuation Of 100000,
mueh Of which is public service corpo-
ration property. II the figures run
this high, a bond issue Of $4,000 can
be voted. Then, if private subscrip-
tons can be obtained in anything like
the ratio secured in the Williamsburg
and CalKood and the Millersburg dis
trets, a hundred thousand dollars win
be available for the work.
According TO Surveyor Divers, the
road will be about q miles long.
Much Of the necessary grading has al
ready been done, and with 100000 for
Improvement purposes, a first class
highway can be built. - Fulton Ga

Experience shows that the con-

We can supply the Allies with all OF

ALL ROAD MATERIALS
SHOULD BE TESTED


YOU wouldn't w~eatherboard your
house with soggy yellow pine, and
neither should you build a road or
street with soft cotton rock for a
wearing surface. There is as much
or more difference in so-called "road
oils" as there was in the various
grades Of oil used in kerosene lamps.
The State Highway Department takes
the position that when the public pays
for road improvements of any kind
good, honest materials should be used.
In order TO assist counties, townships
and districts in this connection, ar
rangements have been completed
whereby the testing laboratory at the
University Of Missouri, located in
Columbia, will be used to test all
available road materials in Missouri.
Counties desiring tests Of rock, gray
el, oils, or other materials used in
road construction and maintenance are
urged to communicate with the High
way Department without delay.
