ROAD BUILDING

The greatest bodybuilding pro-
gram in the history of the country is
now under way and will extend thru
out the year 1920, according to D.
F. Houston, Secretary Of Agriculture,
in whose department is the federal
good roads bureau.
Secretary Houston says road work
has been facilitated and much i'm
petus given the good roads movement
by the amendment to the Federal aid
road act. These amendments were
adopted during the Sixty-ffths Con-
gress, which was under Democratic
control.

innction with the States. Secretary
Houston says:
at is interesting to note that up to
July 1, 1919 State bonds issues ug-
gregating 1924, 100000 had been au-
thorized and approved by popular
vote and that provision has been
made for voting next year on pro-
posals for the issuance Of additional
State road bonds to the extent of APP
proximately $314,OO0,O00. During the
present and the next fiscal year
there will be made available for road
Improvement at least one billion dol
lars. Certainly few laws, if any, have
produced greater results, either in
terms of expenditure for good pur-
pose or in terms Of helpful legisla-
ton and machinery, then the Fed
eral aid road act.
ut seems clear, in the circum-
stances, that the principal limiting
factors in the 1920 program will be
those of rail transportation for, and
production of, suitable road material,
the contractors organizations avail
atle, and the labor supply" n
Secretary Houston says the 1919
program for road building was great
er than any preceding year and was
so great in fact, that many Of the
States must postpone until 1920 the
expenditure Of Federal funds simply
because it is necessary to develop ex-
perienced contracting and engineering

studied the nrehlem of military horss,
supply most deeply have declared In
recommendation to the general staff
at Washington and to congress that
the government must obtain anu
place at the disposal of farmers In
sections of the country In which horses
may be raised most economically be-
tween 1000 and 5000 thoroughbred
stations, A beginning has been made
In this tremendous work, but no more
than beginning. The remount
service has placed in Virginia, New
York, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas ana
In the far west some seventy-five or
eighty thoroughbred stations and
these stations have, almost without
exception, been the cheerful gifts Of
thoroughbred producers and persons
interested In racing.
1t is because of the governments
insurmountable ned of thoroughbred
blood that the most distinguished
officers of the regular military service
have been so outspoken in their
opposition to half baked legislation
that might interfere with thorough
bred production. Major
Leonard Wood was the first officer OF
high rank to declare himself publicly
on this subject In 1911 when
thoroughbred stations and mares by
the hundreds were being shipped on
Of the country because the shutting
down of racing in New York state in
consequences of the Hughes anti-rac-
Ing legislation of 1908 and 1916
closed the metropolitan market to
thoroughbred producers, General Wood
announced in the daily press that the
loss of thoroughbred blood had as
sumed the proportions of national
calamity, and that if something were
not done by the government to check
the expectation of such stock and to
revive production 1t would be i'm

Wood was to be abundantly fulfilled
in 1917 and 1918 as had already been
pointed out.

How about that traffic ordinance?
Is it meant to be enforced or is it to
be another dead letter law on the
books? We do not think it should be
so strictly enforced until the people
are given notice that they must not
forget it's provisions, but after that
is done then if the rules are to be
worth anything they must be follow
ed. A lady driver of car asked US
the other day if she was parking on
the right side of the street, and she
was, but her car was headed the
wrong direction.
A car stood for quite awhile the
other day on the north side of Friend
street and we saw several others in
the prohibited area and many headed
in the wrong direction according to
the provisions of the law. But we
believe the disposition of the drivers
is to observe the law, but if fragrant
violations are permitted then those
who are trying to observe the rules
will get careless also and no one will
pay any attention to the law, as has
too often been the case with regula-
tions like these in this ordinance. Let
every one cooperate to obey the traf-
fic rules and it will be we'll.

N0e.
We were just wondering how the
linotype mind was operating when
it made "suit" when we tried TO
writ "out," but when we remember
what an awful hand we write we do
not wonder. Truth is we suspect If
the ability to write is the standard of
literacy then we would have to be
classed among the most illiterate OF
the species.
, At any rate in the little article we
wrote about the railroad crossings
and other things we intended and Sc
wrote the head that it should read
Crossings Out" and the linotype
made it in print to read Crossings
Suit" just why we do not know, and
yet the crossings now suit US hne'
because they are no more. unless you
| lust want to cross the railroad IN go
ing from here to Prosperity and on
to Little Mountain, so really 1t IS
correct to say crossings suit, because
if YOU want to cross the railroad all
RIGHT. go along that way and cross 1t
seven or eight times before you reach
Prosperity, and if you don't want to
cross the railroad why then take the
rev road and you don't have 70 cross.
so the crossings do suit al ri~n-.,
But the main thing that makes Us
Glad is that the road, the public road,
has been located so that it IS on 22a
side Of the railroad all the way from
Newhelry to Prosperity and yen 90
net have to cross the c. y. ( / at
al, but you DO cross tho Southern
Just as you approach the town ard
lust as YOU leave the town on the
other side. Something we have been
nleading for 10 these many years.
We are not writing this to correct
an error in the head of the former
article, but to have an excuse to say
again that we are so much pleased to
have our dream of the removal OF
these deadly railroad crossings for
which we have been pleading so long,
to be reality. There are some >peo-
ple, as there always has been and
always will be, who say that certain
officials have not done anything, and
no doubt there are some who are
saving this verv thing about Super
visor Sample, ,ut if he had done
nothing else during his four years OF
service than to remove the various
railroad crossings that he has the peo-
nle should be glad, and that is a
monument to him which will stand
for the years to come and there
is no telling the good he has accom-
plished and the lives he has been IN
strumental in saving by this one act
alone. Every grade crossing should
be removed, and we had some mighty
dangerous ones, and most of them are
now no more, thanks to Supervisor
Sample and his administration.

"RECCNSTNCCTECN."

We understand thar some o'e has
called some sort Of meeving IN Colum-
hia to consider some plans Of 'recon-
structioa'' for the people, and that
some 500 CT 100 ''promirent' citizens
have been invited to attend and dis
cuss the problems and to devise ways
and means of reconstructing the
country.
1t may be all right to be holding
meetings and appointing committees
and putting on drives and organizing
and supervising, but it seems to us
that this sort of thing has done about
all the good it can accomplish, if it
ever has accomplished any good at
all. There is already entirely too
much supervision and too many super
visors and too many commissions and
these can accomplish nothing.
There are at present just two
pressing needs and just two things
that will go further toward recon
structing" than anything else that we
can think of, and they are, first, for
more people to go to work, and then
to be less extravagant. Nobody
wants to work now and nobody will
kwork.
If you come to town you will find
people walking up and down the
streets doing nothing or riding
around in automobiles. II you go to
the country you find the roads stream
ing with cars crowded with people
riding about. If you travel on the
cars you find them crowded with peo-
pie going somewhere. Nobody work
ing.
The cry is for more wages and less
hours. There is unrest everywhere.
No question about that, but the
solution for it is not in holding con-
ventions and discussing the problem.
We fail to see the blessings that we
have, and are paying too much atten-
ton to things that are disturbing and
unpleasant. Mr.. Willys of the Over
land Automobile company is quoted
as saying in discussing these matters:
ssThe chief menace of bolshevism
and other 'isrns' is their perverted
economics" He goes on to say: "If
they could be dropped from the pub
lie eye, and in their place could be
taught the sound doctrine that dol
lars won't buy bread unless somebody
bakes it, these menacing isms'
would wither and die through sheer
lack of sustenance' And he might
have added that you can't bake bread
unless some one plants the wheat and
the corn and tills the soil and har
vests the grain when it is ripe, and
some one else runs the mill that
grinds the grain into -four and meal.
The foundation of the whole thing
and back of the bread is the man who
plants and reaps and tills the soil,
and that means that if the world is
to be fed and clothed there must be
more work and real work, and when
the people come to realize that, the
problem is solved, and unless more
people go to work somebody is going
hungry and not we'll clothed. That
is the secret of the whole matter.

ABOUT BANKS.

Talking about banks and bank
statements we desire to direct your
attention to two statements of banks
printed in this issue, the Peoples
National Bank Of Prosperity and the
Bank of Pomaria. Both have~sn1all
capital stock, the Peoples National
with $4,000 and the Bank OF
Ponaria with $4,000. Neither one
owes a dollar and both have plenty
of money in their vaults and with
other banks. The Peoples National
has: total loans Of nearly 100000
and deposits of nearly half million.
The total of the statement is over
100000, gain since the last report
on December 81 of over a hundred
thousand dollars. This bank is grow
ing and President Wheeler is one of
the best bankers in this section of the
country. The Peoples National is
sure walking about and the exercise
is good:
The Bank of Pomaria shows total
of s250,O00 and gain since the last
report December. 81 Of $50, 900, total
loans of over hundred thousand dol
lars and deposits of S227 900. And
does not owe a dollar. DR.. Z. T.
Pinner is the president but John e.
Aull is the active man in the bank
and in fact is doing all the work of
cashier and teller and bookkeeper and
loan man, and he is on the job.
The fact is all the banks Oh the
county are prospering but these two
statements so impressed US as we read
the proof for publication that we
could not help commencing them.
The Farmers Bank of Chappells, the
statement of which appeared in the
Tuesday paper, is also making good,
as this statement showed.
The three banks of the city all
showed a good statement and each IS
running around the million and half
mark, the Commercial and the Ma
tional going a little over and the
Commercial showing no money bor-
rowed. The National has capital OF
100000 and the Commercial only
$4,000. The Commercial has loaned
a little over million and has a de-
posit of a million and a half. The
National has deposits of a little
over million and quarter and
nearly million loaned.
The Exchaige bark has capital of
100000 md deposits Of a million
and a quarter With i,ans of very
