week Proved Very Successful and
Was Enjoyed by All

The National Week of Song PROV
ed very popular again this year
Most of the churches observed Sun
day the 18th by special song SER
vices. The splendid Patriotic Pro-
gram at Luther College on Thursday
was well attended and enjoyed by all.
Special programs were given in the
schools on Friday afternoon.
The festivities were brought to a
close on Friday evening in the Grand
opera house with the Victory Sing
and Concert. Prof. Sperati was in
charge of this, and handled the big
crowd very nicely. Everybody sang
and had a good time. The concert
numbers were excellent. The occasion
was used for the first public playing
of p E. Bradrick's Soldiers Re-
turn march. 1t is a dandy; has a
clever melody that is we'll worked
out, and nicely arranged for the diff
ferent instruments Of the band. We
understand he intends to copyright
it and will no doubt soon have it
published.
We believe committees in charge
Of the National Week of Song here
have the hearty thanks of the people
of DEBORAH for their efforts.

THE ROAD QUESTION.
We Invest Vast Sums i. Every Year
and Get Nothing to Show for
Our Expense.

If any man in business should,
year after year, invest considerable
of his capital in any one branch of
his business only to find that every
year he had nothing to show for it
he would be thought very poor
speciman, says the Usage News. He
would himself wake up and remedy
his mistakes. Yet the people as a
whole have been doing this very
thing year after year and any at
tempt to remedy the trouble is met
with considerable opposition. We re-
for the obsolete road system that
is in vogue in this country. We in
vest vast sums on our roads every
year, only to find that on the follow
ing spring We have nothing to show
for the expense and it all has to be
done over again in the same careless,
slip shod manner. If the money that
has been spent on the roads OF this
county had been spent in making
permanent TOduS We WOulo nave al VI
the county roads in such shape that
travel would be easy at every season
of the year except in the case OF
snow blockades. OF course this county
is no exception-the same conditions
exist all over the state. 1t is high
time that we wake up and do some
thing sensible. A road suitable for
travel is more important to the far
mer than any one else. A census OF
travel was made last year and is as
nearly complete as possible. 1t was
found that only " per cent of the
traffic was tourist. Forty-five per cent
was between towns and AZ per cent
between the farm and the town.
Only six tourists to AZ farmers used
the roads yet the tourist leaves in
the country more than he costs.
