1T would be the greatest injustice

Harrington, as he rose to his feet
and faced the men," for me to inter-
fere in the Snowden case. The man
is guilty of a foul crime and for me
to interfere with his execution would
be simply to prepare the way for a
reign of lynch law.
Il spent all day Friday reviewing
the evidence in the case, and know
that Snowden is guilty; that he is
bad, and, therefore, / will not inter-

Cop Aids Thief Band Start A Stolen
Car.

UWTs
Kansas City, Mo.-If you have
difficulty in stealing motor car
call policeman to help you.
That is the method of three young
men who got away with a jitney car
from the postoffice stand here.
The jitney driver, r. e. Falls, was
i'm the postoffice getting his mail
when the three men seized his Ford
and tried to. start it. But the Ford
was cranky, and they endeavored to
push it into the grade in Eighth
street and turn the engine by coast
ing.
Stalled in the traffic way, they
were approached by a policeman, who
said they couldn't leave the car
there They explained their difficult
ty in getting it started and the police
man gave them a hand The four
succeeded in rolling the jitney car in
to Eighth street
Much obliged to you, sir" said
the three men as they rolled down
Eighth street.
When Falls left the. pOstofice he
found vacancy staring him in the
face, where had reposed his faithful
jitney. He told the officer about the
loss, and got the facts. - -"

Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps were bought by the billions
of dollars worth. Housewives econo-
mixed in food. Artesians saved fuel.
Automobiles gave up their rides on
the Sabbath. Economy and saving
was the watchword.
And now that the victory has been
won, now that peace is actually here,
the lessons learned by the willing sac
rifices of Americans everywhere is to
bear fruit.
The reconstruction days are here.
That same spirit Of conservation that
won the war will overcome the OBJ
stacles that confront the Govern
ment in seeking to solve the prob
lens of construction. There must he
no long period of financial or CONNER
cial depression.
One of the ways to avoid this has
been prepared by the Treasury De-
partment. The general public is per-
mitted to buy War Savings Stamps
real United States Government secur-
tiles. One may buy Thrift Stamp
for twenty-five cents, a War Savings
Stamp for $500, or he may buy one
for q hundred dollars or thousand.
The money so invested is safer than
put in any other place. 1t draws in

compounded quarterly, and the prin-
cipal works indirectly for the pur-
chaser by keeping>the factories open
and the wheels of commerce in action

Mr.. Mosquito does not bite; his

most active around dawn and after
sunset. She avoids strong light and
prefers strong colors. She is essen

They hibernate in dark corners of cell

day of spring are out laying their
eggs. Save when extended by the ar

USE BARRIER FOR CHINCH BUGS

In some sections of the State the
chinch bugs seem to be unusually
abundant in spite of the heavy rain
fall of the last two months. Where
the rainfall has been light the bugs
are abundant. When the wheat, is
cut they move into corn or other
crops.
Where the bugs are abundant and
moving, use barriers at once, advises
L. Haseman of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. If the
ground is dry, one or two parallel
bitches should be plowed and a log
drag kept going in them to maintain
dust mulch and kill the bugs as they
fall in. In case of rain run line OF
tar, heavy road oil or crude carbolic
acid as a barrier. Smooth path
with a hoe on which the chemical
may be run. Any discarded pail can
be used for distributing the chemical.
Drive a nail through the side or the
pail near the bottom and when the
chemical is not being distributed plug
it with splinter. The hole should be
lust large enough so that thin line
of the chemical will dribble out as
one walks along the path. Renew the
chemical often enough to prevent the
bugs from crossing.
Where bugs are already in corn

Do not wait for the weather to be-

called chinch bug disease to germinats

a few more spores of the fungus bu'

Country ROADS

Good roads promote self-respect in
a community. They make possible So
cial intercourse. They bring the bene-
fits of churches and schools within the
reach of all. They help to keep the
boys on the farm. They cheaper the
cost of transportation of farm pro-
ducts to the markets and thus add to
the farm protis. They add to the val
ue of farm lands much more than they
cost. They mark the degree of civil
lization of the rural community.
Roads may be divided into three
general classes, as regards construc-
tion-dirt roads, various kinds of
macadams, and pavements, such as
brick, concrete, asphalt, etc.
When choosing the kind Of material
to be used, take into consideration the
amount of traffic measured in tons,
the size of the individual loads, the
kinds of vehicles used for transporta-
ton purposes, the provision made for
maintenance, the cost of available ma
terials, and the amount of technical
skill necessary in using such materials.
Some of the materials or combina-
tions of materials which might enter
into the construction of temporary
country roads in Missouri are earth,
shale, slate, ebert, gravel and rock,
or sand mixed with clay or gumbo.
For heavy traffic on through routes
pavements may be required, but these
are not ordinarily classed as "coun-
try roads,.
Some of the things which determine
the cost of road construction are:
Cost of right-of-way; cost Of clear
ing and grubbing; amount and kind OF
material to be excavated and amount
of filling to be done; amount of ditch
ing. for surface drainage and thing
for sub-drainage; number and size of
stream crossings necessitating cul-
verts or bridges; cost of securing and
placing material.
The three principal divisions of ac-
tual road making are location, con-
struction, and maintenance. In plan
ming a road it is necessary that we take
into consideration all three OF these
steps, since proper location affects
the cost of construction and may ma
terially reduce cost of maintenance.
: Some of the things to be considered
: in locating road are easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination Of culverts and bridges by
: avoiding unnecessary creek Blessings,
directness and the number of farms to
be served for a given length of road:
J Whenever possible to avoid it, a good
! location should not be rejected merely
: because certain roadway has been
t in use for some time. If the location
e of used road is bad it should be
T changed, if possible. In relocating
roads avoid railroad crossings at
4 grades.

for the purpose of securing help for
60, 900 more of these children who
should be "made brave" again, and
whose names were on the waiting list
when the armistice was signed. This
organization co-operates with a sim,
liar one in France, of which Marshal
Joffre is head. The drive is on.-and
it costs only 10 cents to care for a
child for day; So for month; or
$36.5O to become a godmother or god
father. Such godparent chooses her
own protege-boy or girl, as she
elects, from the lists at the organiza-
ton headquarters, and is put in di.
rect communication with the child
through correspondence. The small
contribution made supplements the
tiny pension of 10 cents daily allowed
each child by the French Government,
but it is sufficient to keep body and
soul together.

A FRENCH CHILD
THANKS AMERICA

It was a grey-blue envelope with
the French postmark-one of many
such which come to a group of warm
hearted American men and women
who have constituted themselves god,
fathers and godmothers to the. little
French children made fatherless by the
war-and this is the message it held,
written laboriously by Felix Gaizdire
to his "godmother" in America.

while watching my cows. Jeanne
dare, who was only Shepherd girl,
once saved our fair France. Now it
is our brothers-the brave soldiers OF
America--who came to fight by the
side of ours. Dear benefactor, l
watch my cattle. Already l am brave,
and in autumn l shall go to school
again."
"Already am brave" And only a
few brief months ago this little lad
was homeless, shuddering away from
the sight of carnage, crushed INTO
restitution by the merciless foes OF
his country. A little help, some cher
ishing words in letter written by an
American woman, and the bruised life
was healed again.
There are thousands and thousands
of such little children in France
Through the activities of an Ameci-
can organization, "The Fatherless
Children of France" many of these
perishing little folks, like Felix Gaiz;

Americans between the autumn OF

it. but this disorder is due to lack OF
moisture In the residual matter of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
Of water, eat raw fruits and take lots

eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
