Bells Run sections, we were informed
by good farmer of considerable age,

Tobacco of this character is also be-

Pastures have also dried up won

people must resort to feed at an early

GOOD ROADS SAVE MONEY.

The improved roads of Milwaukee
County, Wis, save $4,000 a day to
the people who use them. This is
the estimate of the county commits
sioner of highways, as reported to the
Bureau of Public Roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The statistics are based on a census
of the traffic taken periodically dur
ing the past four years. The census
is made by selecting SO points scatter
ed through the county, and making
seven counts at each point, one for
every day in the week The count
is not made on consecutive days, but
at various periods from April to No
vember, so as to arrive at average
conditions. This census is taken to
determine the durability of certain
types of pavement, according to the
amount of traffic square yard. 1t
shows that about $4,000 vehicles of
all kinds travel the highways each
day. Traffic on the road has increas-
ed about AZ per cent year during
the four years in which the survey
has been made.

SECOND BUNCO ATTEMPT.

Washington, July 30.-Former
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick, of
Georgia. who was chairman of a great
mass meeting at Atlanta to hear Sen
ator Reed. of Missouri, oppose certain
features of the league of nations COW
enant, was in Washington the other
day to visit his old colleagues and at
tend to some departmental business.
He said that Senator Reed had been
given great ovation, not only at
Atlanta but throughout all of his tour
of the Southern states.
Yes" said Hardwick. 81 presided
at the Atlanta mass meeting and when
Il mentioned that Mr.. Wilson had
promised to keep us out of war, and
one month after he entered upon his
second term plunged us into war, and
that now he was again before the
people with a promise to keep us out
of war, but that |, for one, refused to
be buncoed second time, the crowd
cheered for fifteen minutes.
81 am convinced that the sentiment
of the South is against the most OBJ
noxious feature of the league of ma
tions. IL the question were left to
popular vote in Georgia today, the
covenant would be overwhelmingly
defeated"

TAXES land ROADS?
N0---YOU Are CRAZY
j. H. Thomas Advances His
Views On The Tax And
Road Question

Owensboro, Ky, July 30 was
mighty glad to see Mr.. C. S. Rowe, OF
Centertown, sounding warning
home against the road tax.
am glad Mr.. Rowe had this road
tax nightmare, as it will serve to
arouse the populace to the unbeara-
Bile burden of the 20 cent road tax
Just think what a calamity is about to
befall the already tax-ridden people
Why, the fellow who paid tax on ST.
O0O worth of property would have to
sell one whole bushel of corn every
year to pay his road tax. Well might
Mr. Rowe sound the dread alarm.
Everybody would like to have good
roads but who in the dickens wants
to pay for them? The country is go
ing wild with extravaganza. Men ac-
tually pay $500 for reaper, whose
fathers bought scythe and cradle
for $3.50. Some wasteful farmers
are buying $500 tractors when a
good pair of mules may be had for a
fourth of that amount. But if such
fool spendthrifts want to run madly
On wasting their money. let them run,
but let us draw the line at voting a
road tax.
Good roads may be all right in
Dayiess or Hancock or Butter, but We
can worry along in Ohio county and
save our money.
What in the name of Josh Billings
do we care If we do become the laugh
ing stock of the counties around us,
we'll save that tax.
OF course our fool children or
grandchildren will finally waste a
lot of money building good roads In
Ohio County, but let us stave off the
terrible calamity as long as possible
But | am uneasy about the result of
the election, and pride is likely to
cause it. A lot of Ohio county peo-
pie have gotten a notion that the
county ought to keep up with the
procession. Pride is running the
country and even me and Mr. Rowe
away down in our hearts, kindly hate

Washington, July 30.-Nothing has

the White House, in constitution
with Republican members of that

Japan.
The burden of permitting this de-
cision was shifted to him by the Allied
