VOTE FOR The BONDS.

Grave danger exists that Colorado
will lose its share of the money set
aside by Congress for the construc-
ton of good roads throughout the
United States. The moneys derived
from the one mill levy, from license
fees and from the state gasoline tax
are not sufficient to maintain and re-
pair existing roads and. at the same
time. meet dollar for dollar the so
called Federal aid appropriations. II
the people of the state do not come
to the rescue of the State Highway
Department, Colorado will be COM
PEELED to notify the federal govern
ment next year that large portion
of the money set aside for Colorado
cannot be used.
The federal aid appropriation for
Colorado will exceed s1,000,000 for
the year 1921 and in 1922 it will be
still larger. The only remedy at hand,
to secure this money for the state, is
the s5.00O.O00 bond issue, authorized
by the Twenty-Second General As.
sembly and to be submitted to the
people at the election in November.
II this bond issue carries, the money

government to take full advantage OF

DEEAlCCATIONS.

So many people holding positions
of financial trust, have betrayed their
obligations during the last few years.
that the bonding companies are hav-
ing to rewrite the costs Of fidelity
policies. The security companies have
never been called upon to meet such
heavy losses.
The temptations that entice men
holding positions of trust are more
severe than ever before. Their sala-
ries have not commonly kept pace
with the costs OF living. To give their
families the same good living as for
merly, many of them are tempted to
speculation. When they meet losses
the temptation to slip money over
from their trust funds is strong.
Usually they mean to repay. But
the speculative machine breaks them.
With all this spirit of dishonesty
abroad, II is a time to handle money
very cautiously. When you go away
from Delta TO invest money, you are
putting 1t in the hands of strangers
concerning whom you know nothing.
Better keep 1t at home where you
know the people who handle it.

Obituary, Nellie S. Mitchner

y
Nellie SartOris Mitchner was born
near Brookston, Ind, March 81, 1874
and passed away March 20, 1920
She leaves father, mother and one
brother, VIM. Forest Mitchner of st.
Louis, Mo.
In 1870 the family moved to New
ton, Kansas, where she resided I'M
til in 1893 she was married to John
Walker Of Washington G. H., Ohio,
then after six years she returned to
her PARENTAL home in Newton, Kas.
In 1901 she, with the family remOv-
ed to Abilene where she has since
resided.
Almost from infancy she was
delicate and sickly until in the latter
part of 1904 Christian Science came
into her life and restored her to al
most perfect health and noble
Christian character.
For the past ten years she has
devoted her life so earnestly to help
ing others as one lady said, recent
ly: "She had buried herself for
others welfare"
Her recent illness seemed to have
originated in a fall she sustained
while visiting friends last year in
the east. All that loving friends
far and near could do with their
present understanding was done for
her. Her faith in God and spiritual
understanding never wavered for a
moment, and her last words were.
"God is my life, my strength, my
ALL"

MOTOR CAR HAS MADE
BIG INDUSTRY FOR CITY

The Importance of the motor car
industry is evidenced by a survey
of the firms exclusively engaged in
selling cars, trucks and accessories
and in making repairs. Abilene has
twenty-fi five such firms and more in
prospect. These employ nearly 100
persons, the largest being the Red
man Motor Co. with IA employees.
Nearly one tenth Of the population
of the city is supported directly by
the motor industry. With nearly
1900 cars in the county and with
trucks aud tractors rapidly coming
into general use. it is likely that
there will be several more firms es-
tablished during the year.

TypificS All That North Country
Stands For.

Representative Pat O'Brien has again
announced his candidacy for the legislature
from Iron county. Pat has come to be an
institution in the state legislature, for he
typifies all THAT the north country stands
for. Able, courteous, and always alert for
the interest of the state, he has become,
with his years of service, one Of the most
valued men in the house. During the last
session he was chairman Of the insurance
committee, one of the big committees, and
a member of the ways and means commit
tee, the most powerful committee in the
house. Pats influence and his capacity
ought to entitle him to unanimous return.

haves rendered such valuable service to the
people Of your district as well as to the
entire state that most heartily count you
as one of the very valuable men in Michi-

that effect, which you may use as best
suits you. speak from my personal OBJ
servation and from first hand knowledge
Of your actions and attitude, toward labor.
I have good cause to remember the very
valuable assistance received from you, in
my efforts to do something for the workers
and welcome an opportunity to in small
measure repay the service rendered:
To Whom It May Concern:-

with full knowledge and belief that am
doing It in the interest Of man who has
proven his friendship to the workers Of

the people of his district would make a
grave mistake in rejecting him. now that
he is well known throughout the state,
holds important legislative places on COM
mittees and has. learned the ropes. He has
just completed course in legislative edu-
cation that will benefit his district. We
can't see how he can be set aside for an
untried man who has never been prominent
in legislative affairs and who certainly
lacks the experience and ability of the pres

of his district are wise they will continue
Mr.. O'Brien in the position that he can
administer their Legislative needs properly.
