An Actual Incident With q Big
Moral.

A short time ago farmer asked a
buggy manufacturer for price on a
certain type of vehicle.
Upon receipt of the quotation the
farmer wrote the manufacturer ae-
eusing him of ''profiteering' and
similar high commercial crimes and
misdemeanors. In justification OF his
charges he reminded the manufactur-
er that he (the farmer) had once
bought very similar buggy from the
same factory at price far and away
below the price now quoted.
This particular manufacturer OPP
crates one of the systematic business
concerns that maintains a record OF
all its transactions.
Upon receipt of the farmers letter
OF complaint the manufacturer looked
up the previous sale to which the
farmer referred. q.
He found that such sale had been
made as the farmer stated and that
the farmer had paid for that buggy
not in money but with shipment OF
wheat.
The manufacturer thereupon re-
piled to the farmer giving the com.
plete record OF the transaction and
said: IF you will ship to me for
your new buggy the same amount Of
wheat you shipped for your old one
l will gladly ship the buggy and in
addition will ship you a. piece of
household furniture and q good
kitchen stovew e

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
Interest in Road Work in State ID
Greatest Ever-Bonds Issued
and Up for Vote Reach
$33,5o9,7I5.
BY MEANS RAY

Interest in road building in Mis-
souri, is far greater than ever in the
history of the state and every indi-
cation points to the construction of
several thousand miles of the best
roads in the country during the conf
ing year..
Bond issues have been voted or
plans are being made to vote them in
counties which bring the total
amount to $33,5oo,7I5, to this will be
added a like amount from the state
and Federal government which will
make the improvements during the
next year, from bonds alone, reach a
total of approximately $67. 100000.
&. In addition to this will be added
the regular road levy and poll tax Of
the state and special taxes which are
being levied in the state. :
Money and work donated during
the year is estimated at $4,000, 900 by
the State Highway Commission,
which gave out the figures on which
this article is based.
A. w. Graham, chief engineer of
the Commission. is more than en-
Unused with the interest that is being
shown by the people of the state and
expresses the belief that more than
double the amount now proposed by
the people of the state will be provid-
ed by bond issues in addition to the
10000. 900 issue submitted by the
legislature on recommendation of
Governor Gardner.
Bonds aggregating several millions
have been voted in the state. Some
of the counties having done so are ::
St. Louis, $4,000 Buchanan. $2.-
COX, 1000; Scott, 100000 New Mad
rid, 100000; Wayne, 100000; Cole,
$3oo, 700.
Special road districts all over the
state have voted an amount which it
is thought will aggregate more than
the county issues.
Mayor Kiel. of St. Louis, is having
a lot of trouble these days The kid
dies Of the city are after him because
extravaganza of his administration
has closed some of the play grounds
and 10000 negro voters are claiming
he should name a member of their
