Il par With credit inflated as il has
been since the war this is not the case,
but with a return to normal condi-
tons it is pretty safe to figure that
before these short time bonds mature
they will even sell at premium. OBJ
lection has been made in past cam
paigns by buyers that the bonds would
not mature for long period, but this
objection cannot be interposed to the
Victory bonds. In four years the en-
tire principal win be paid to the hold
ers. In the meantime they will have
received almost five per cent inter
est without contributing dollar In
taxes, insurance or depreciation.
But these bonds must be taken from
patriotic standpoint. The people OF
this country must finish the job so
gloriously fought to conclusion by
our heroic sons on land and sea. The
nation has already expended every
dollar that will be received from the
sale OF these bonds. 1t was expended
in super-human effort to finish the
war at the earliest possible date.
How we'll our efforts succeeded history
will attest. 1t is true that money
was poured out in golden stream by
the nation in preparing and equipping
its forces on land and sea, but that
vast expenditure was not without its
effect upon the morale of the enemy.
When the tide turned and the enemy
realized how deadly. in earnest were
the people of America, how little they
counted the cost, he. began to nego-
tiate for peace.
The proceeds OF these bonds must
be used to bring back the remnants
OF our glorious army still on the other
side. The war will not be over in
fact for the people of America until
every soldier has been returned to his
home. They have rendered the ma
ton and humanity great service |
they must not now be forsaken by
those who owe them everything.
May has been set as the date for

LOCAL DELEGATION.

Maury county has little fault to find
With the record made by Senator
Jlarke, of this district. in the recent
legislature. He was chairman OF the
important committee on agriculture
ind was one OF the most progressive
members of the senate. His vote ON
practically every important issue will
meet the approval of progressive and
Onward looking men. He served the
state at an actual sacrifice, but did it
willingly and cheerfully.
Representative Russelrs good re-
,ord was a duplicate Of that made two
years ago and which the people had
endorsed. He aligned himself with
The progressive elements and gave dis
service from the beginning

The Herald radically disagrees with
representative Hays on many of his
rotes. His support OF the compulsory
abroad pass bill, his effort to impair

hanging the present system OF elect

his opposition to the Maury county

OF Maury county come nearer getting
full prices for what they have to sell
than those Of any other section under

The sale at Martins, one of the larg-
est private offerings in the history of
the county, attracted an enormous
crown of people and lasted from 10
o'clock until night. A less hardy or
less accomplished auctioneer than Col.

THE GOOD OF COOP ROADS

From many tests of the weights a
two horse team can draw in a farm
wagon over various road surfaces, the
following figures have been deduced:
On a smooth, dry earth road, two to
four thousand pounds; on a good grav-
Ell road. six to eight thousand pounds;
on a good macadam road. eight to ten
thousand pounds.
The cost of hauling a ton q mile on
German roads is ten cents; on English
roads about the same; while In France
the home of good roads, the cost is
but four cents. In America the cost
Is twenty-three cents. The annual
cost Of hauling from farm to market
in this Country, according to the De
partment of Agriculture. is more than
the freight On the same produce from
New York to Liverpool
According to the Interstate Com
merce Commission the railways of the
United States in one year hauled more
than nine hundred million tons of
freight. Of which two hundred and
seventy-five million tons consisted of
farm produce. When the cost of haul
ing that freight to the railroad has
been reduced from twenty-three cents
TO ten cents, ~thirty-five million dollars
will be added to the profits Of the
farmers every year.
Roads that are good for freight
traffic, are also good for developing

culture finds that in twenty-five II

RAISING OF
STOCK IS NOT
PROFITABLE

There have been repeated attempts
made to raise stock, cattle sheep and
hogs in large quantities with in the
borders of Alaska; so far without sue
cess owing to the prolonged winters
and high prices for feed. The sub
ject is one in which the Russians nat
urally took a great deal OF interest,
for they were a nation fond of good
living and were DESTROYS of having
the best beef or mutton or the sweet
est pork on their tables.
They brought over hardy selections
from their Siberian stock placing the
cattle at almost every point Of impor-
t2nce for trial. The result after years
of endeavor was that the herds on
Kodiak island throve the best and
became of rea. service in maintain
ing the settlement. Here there is n
very fine pasturagc for cattle and in
the summer there Is an abundance of
nutritious grasses. but when the
fierce storms of October. frcighted
with snow and slect. accompanied by
cold and piercing gales arrive and
hold their own until the following
