MORE ON SUBJECT OF
Upton COUNTY ROADS

What's the matter that we can't
have good roads in Upton as well
as other counties of our great state?
We have read with interest your
strong article last week on better
roads, and endorse all you say.
We believe that our county should
decide on some plan looking to the
building Of a system Of better roads
in our county. Many first class
roads have been, and are being built
in different counties throughout our
state, and why not our county, too?
So far as making good and perma-
nent roads in our county, we have
been just PLAYING at it. Yet but few
counties of our great state are bet
ter located for system of good roads
than our own Upton. We have no
extreme hills, no rocks to obstruct
the way and to blast through; no
river and creek bottoms, except to
limited degree, and most of the roads
throughout our whole county could
be practically built without any ex-
cessive grading.
We would like to see our county
get onto system of GOOD roads and
build them on the most practical
and economical possible plan, that
would afford comfortable travel and
easy transportation in all kinds of
weatha~ and in all seasons of the
year
We are aware Of the fact that, as
in all other things, it takes money
to build good roads, but we are not
in favor Of wasting money on them
in reckless or extravagant way, in
high-priced machinery that would
require experts to handle. But we
are in favor of plain, practical, COM
nonsense implements that the or
binary laborer could use successfully.
Now, as we see it, the two most
important problems to be solved
are: First, the cheapest plan by which |
to build roads. Second the financing
of the plan.
We think one of the best systems,
and most economical for the present, |
ing has been done, to put gravel on
is to first grade the roads and then
put gravel on them. believe that
is the cheapest way, and will make
a very substantial road bed for all
seasons and all kinds of weather
for comfortable travel and easy
transportation. We see a fair and
tried system of such roads in our
county, Shelby.
Now, as to accessible gravel, we
believe that while there are no large
beds of gravel in our county, still
there are sufficient amounts in diff
ferent places in the county to gravel
all Of our main roads, if not every
road in the county.
we shall say more later as to the
financial side Of the question. In
the meantime, let US have some
IDEAS from some of our road men.

MEMPHIS-BRIS HIGHWAY
is TO BE BUILT SOON

A special from Nashville to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal under
date of January %, says:
The state highway department is
planning ali extensive piece of work

We have a large family. My brother
who is 3 years older than l. works and
my father works now but will soon
have to quit as he has tuberculosis.
AS high as living is now, brother and
he can hardly make both ends meet.
Shall I go on to school or shall I quit
and go to work. OF course I couldn't
help a great deal but am willing to
do my part. Thanking you for your
good advice.
A Poor Little Girl.
I am very sorry for you and wish
you could go on to school, as an educa-
ton is one of the greatest assets you
can have. Since your father is i'll. I
believe the best thing for you to do
would be to go to work. But one thing
that you should do, is to arrange to
take a course at business school in
the evening. That way you can soon
prepare yourself for a stenogra pher o,
book keeper and obtain a good posi-
tion with pleasant surroundings. May
be in a few years an opportunity will
be offered so that you can get moro
education. But be sure to attend
night school and get all you can in

"The Committee Of 4S" was the sub

at Earlham college, Wednesday, morn

states Of the Union, was to assemble
in st. Louis the first week in Decem-
Der to agree on a program and effect
a permanent political organization.
It Is to be an organization Of con-
structive liberalism, which will aim
to represent those who are not ado-
quately represented by existing par
ties.

to st. Louis will be bent on the forma-
ton of new political party. A new
| political party, whether wise or not,
seems inevitable. Organized labor
seems headed in the direction Of indie

! may serve only to make another d.
vision in the ranks Of those who agree
on policies, and who ought to seek Pc.
litical cooperation and unity.
AT any rate, one of the plans to
be presented to the st. Louis conven
ton of the Committee Of 4S. is novel
suggestion which is meeting with in

ANGELA

OF noble family whose beauty caused
him to be the choice Of the Princess

the beauty of the family, Angeles be-

Venetians brought it to Greece and a
monastic saint who preached at Pal
emo and was afterward murdered by a
wicked count whose evil deeds he had
rebuked, was one Of the first to bear

and feminine forms, caught the fancy

noted in romance as the faithless lady
for whose sake Orlando lost his heart
