NOTICE

One chief source of road deteriora-
zion is the tendency of traffic to fol
low constant lire of travel, which
wears and dcpresses the road crown
along this line Of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, ut least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much as possible this objcc-
Eionable propensity, Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in holes
lor ruts, which obstruct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are al
aware how important and expensive
a feature is the maintenance of our
good roads; let us apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest, If
for no other reason, one Of the rene
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
G. A. MARTIN,
County Road Engineer.

There was much bitterness over his demand that congress stay in session and wait for him to address it. The democrats shared this resentment full ly as much as the republicans for the movement was led and endorsed by Clark and Kitchen. who had made speeches in it's favor. Moreover the railroad and high cost of living ques- t1ons are already before congress s1onal committees and congress feels that the president is stealing it's thun- der by going before the country as the originator of determined action to protect the public. But the house at once agreed to his request that the recess be abandoned, although it is of the opinion that the work urged by tened hsl the committees been per mitted to work in recess without ths interruptions of routine business.

He would never admit the possibility of her capture Soon afterwards he started back for his home port of Bremen with the Deutschland.
 From time to time there were re- ports that the Bremen had been seen tied up in England or Scotland, but the veil of secrecy held tight and the British admiralty could not be drawn into any admission, one way or the other

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Eree Country.

MT. Editor: Some of the letters of the people are sure interesting. espe- cially the one from Friend Bill who has his own ideas regardless of the strike.
 His sentiments are mine exactly. Let everyone who has the price and feels like riding on the cars do so thereby helping to keep them running. Auto trucks might do for a regular thing If we never had cars. but I hope we are too far advanced and intelligent to be satisfied to use them continually. Come, fellow citizens. it Is your nick els which are the governing factor as to whether we are to be deprived of a great convenience or not.
 We are warned that if we do not ride the cars will be taken off: then there will be another howl and kick by those who absolutely refuse to ride and therefore spite themselves more than anyone else.
 Don't let anyone tell you how and when you can ride.
 Don't let a few tell you that you must boycott the cars. even though places of business might be so threat ened were they to serve the men now operating the cars. or anyone who might ride on them.
 This is free country in that re- spect. therefore if anyone is offended by your riding on the cars. laugh it off so long as you have the price and feel inclined to ride.

The Latin peopls of Italy had gone across the Adriatic in past centuries, settled along the east Adriatic shores, but were pushed well out to islands and peninsulas by the influx of Slavic tribes.
 Tn much the same way this phe- nomenon was duplicated, in an earlier age, on the eastern side of the Balkan peninsula. where lay the extremely mobile Thrace. The Greeks colonized the coast cities of Thrace, on what now seas, not for settlement so much as for trading stations.
 Thus Constantinopie was founded, and thus Greece early came into. pos session of the peninsula now called Gallipoli, building a wall across the five mile neck of the isthmus to keep the Thracians within bounds

 "Adrianople, once the Paris of Thrace. and later the Versailles of the Turkish sultans, is a picturesque, if somewhat unkempt reminder of the ancient days. But more familiar, per haps, is the name of Philippi, in the center of the rich gold mine district of Thrace, and near the hill of Dionysius, which owes it's fame to neither of those facts as to the visits of Paul, who wrote letters to his converts that were incorporated in the Bible as the book of Philippians.
 "Dionysius, or Bachus as the Rom ans call the god, typified the loose mo- rality of the wild and barbarous in- habitants of Thrace originally, for the Thracians of historic times already were composite people.

Even in Grecian days the worship of Dionysius consist ed of wild nocturnal orgies. There is the story that three women who de- clined to join in the revelries were transformed into doves, and king of Thrace was reputed to have resisted a visit of Dionysius to his domain. The god escaped by a plunge into the sea, but the king was stricken with a blindness and a frenzy, so the myth relates, that caused him to hew down his son. believing him to be a tree

 Washington, D. C., Aug 13-Re- publicans are looking with consider able eatisfaction on the record they have made in the short time the 6Sth congress has been in session. In less than two months they organized both senate and house after eight years of democratic control; they passed all the necessary supply bills for the fis- cal year 191a-20; they passed the wo- man suffrage amendment, the house cleaned the prohibition enforcement bill from it's slate. and a score or more or other important measures were acted on. They saved the coun- try not less than two billion dollars timated and demanded by the demo- crats last winter, when the bills failed to pass owing to republican hlibuster.

KoLcHAk,s COLLAPSE.

The fruits of irresoiution are seen . in the fate of Admiral Kolchak whose desperately struggling army in Si- -beria is now reported on the point of
 collapse. And the wavering and irreso- !, lution have been on the part of the all
 lies. Belatedly the United States is to
 send 75,o00 rifles to the admiraPs army, I which is in such straits that it may ? be gobbled up by the Bolsheyik forces before the sorely needed war equip
 ment can arrive.
 The plight of Siberia suggests the Story of the once prosperous merchant whose foDtune was swept away and
 who started in to recoup his lost es- E tate by opening veal pie stand in sfine financial district where once he had been king. A friend of his for mer prosperous days stopped to com n1iserate with him. Hang your sym pathy, man. Why don't you buy veal pie" was the rejoinder. -- The allies have offered much we'll meant sympathy, but have bought flew veal pies for Kolchak and Si- Beria
 2 There seems to. have been no de- rcisive policy of intervention or non dntervention- Troops sent in have been under orders that made them practically impotent and kept them from any armed clashes with the Bol- sheviki. The admiral and his army seem now to be in about the same po- sition as Grand Duke Nicholas when he had to dght the well equipped German army with little more than scythes and pruning hooks.
 "a The Siberians have had their ex- perience with Bolshevism and they want no more of it. but they are help less to do anything but retreat before the well armed invaders. After year of peace in which the most populous part of Siberia had rees- sH blished it's civil government. this Hptpost against Bolshevism seems aestined to be enguHed because help will come too late.
 Z If this tragedy comes as now seems nrobable, it should lie upon the con- ENeiences of those whose wavering at s9tude and tardy action is so much to Name.
