Uncle Sam needs five billion dollars
to run his business one year and pay
more than billion dollars interest
on his public debt. This is the stag
gering cost Of wars aftermath, and
its effect will in all likelihood be felt
for generations. If we cannot have
q league covenant as insurance
against future wars, what is it the
esteemed senate majority will in its
marvellous wisdom be so condescend-
ing as to suggest? Or is its alleged
craftsmanship Of destructive and
not Of constructive order? Does
this adamantine majority consist sole
ly of bunch of blind G. o. p. parti-
sans, willing that world should suf-
fer rather than that anything in the
direction of relief should be accom-
plished by democratic president?

Country papers are finding it in
eressingly difficult to get print pa
per, even at the present exorbitant
prices. Inquiry proves that the fault
doesn't lie with the paper dealers
who are cutting their small profits to
the bone and often sell at cost in or
der to protect their regular custom
ers. Manufacturers find it more
profitable to make roll paper for the
big city dailies, which are using an
enormous quantity in order to take
care of an extraordinary rush Of ad-
vertising. Country publishers are ig-
nored, and not a few of them may be
forced to suspend unless the situa-

The practicing Of couple of green
chainmen on a side street was respon-
sible for the rumor that new survey
for the hardsurface road was in pro
sgress, and before the rumor fzzled out
another was born which placed the
road astride of the survey. There are
two possible entrances Of the hard
surface road through Athena. One
would come into town over the present
macademized highway; the other, after
crossingRthe o.-W. R. g. N. right of
way below the rock quarry. would come
east up Main street from between the
depot and the Taylor Grain office
building. Both are good, common
sense routes and either would serve
Athena well. The final selection of
the route will be determined by the
State Engineer, whose edict is law in
state road building. but whose judg-
ment in road matters prec'udes possi-
BILE construction up side street to the
exclusion Of Main street thorough
fare. when absolutely nothing would
be gained by grade, curvature or
distance.

In spite OF the huge armors OF Henry
