k-NOTES
THE CASE OF THE SPRATTS
BY 4 KIWANIAN

III n IA w ahNFA~AAN
In considering the case of the
Spratts, there are phases of it 10
which the general public have never
given a thought, and having become
classic. or at least household
word, it has a matter of belated
awakening of conscience, occurred to
me that the actual truth should be
given as wide publicity as possible
at this late day
The Spratts were really ordinary
people, though the incident related OF
remarkable habit, or accomplish
ment. inherent or acquired has IN
vested them with a tWo-fold halo
which they are wronefu!ly wearing
one by inference is that of conJugal
felicity and team work though they
were childless. and the other an ideat-
lzation of economy which in no way
COMFORTS with general lineup ac-
coriing 10 the law o. averages made
and provided for ordinary nIortals.
Jack was reasonable man and
his wife whose maiden name MAS
Smith, was merely a reasoning
woman, without any particular en-
phasis on the quality, though the
quantity couldn't be qualified or
measured, as Is the case of things
without end.
Jack was RAN who might be
termed self suffieinG though not self
sufficient To the point OF opproorlous
conceit, / merely mean to- convey the
idea that there was nothing indispen-
sable 10 him.
When he was thirty-hve he mar
ried Lucille Smith who has been pass

Service Brings Its Own Reward"

SEVENTH: Service and re-
sponsibility are the goods we
have to sell. When we sell
them right, we gain, and the
purchaser receives his due. If
we sell them wrong we both
lose on the transaction, and
thereafter it bars us from fu-
ture business.
EIGHTH: We believe in
the doctrine Of kiwanis. 1t is
based on truth in business,
service in business, quantity in
business and last but not least,
quality in business.
NINTH: That primarily my
life should be devoted to the
service Of my country and my
God, and by honest efficiency

quirements by which the indi-
vidual is measured.
TENTH: That satisfactory
service by responsible mer-
chants builds and establishes
a spirit of self-sustaining inter-
est in a community producing
a betterment of living condi-

ELEVENTH: AS a better
mutual service advances the
interest of each individual SO is
this interest reflected from his
environs into city and national
life.

GOOD ROADS FOR
GARFIELD COUNTY
Oh. G.. Overbeck)

The title OF my subject is very
broad and the limited time avail
able for preparation and presen-
tation precludes more than a very
superficial covering of it. In fact
even the term good roads" is
more or less a matter OF opinion.
! have walked over piece Of
new road and considered it ex-
cellent, and driven over the same
piece with one of our local Bar
ney Oldfields OWL to learn that
it is rotten. So there you arc.
Nor, in this day, does anyone
dispute the value of good roads
to the community, so it isn't ne
cesar to enter into any specula-
tion as to how many thousand
tourists good roads will bring in
to the county. If one were dis
posed to question this phase of
the subject, one need only recall
the instantaneous success Of our
community parking place estab-
lished last summer by our cham
Der of commerce, to find proof
that tourists are coming, even
tho the highway system is still
far from completion.
The good roads problem has
resolved itself entirely to one of
financing. And in this connec-
ton it is interesting to sum-
Marie the present available sour
ces OF funds for road building.
Inquiry into this phase Of the
subject reveals that our state has
advanced considerably beyond
the old "pork barrel stage, where
