Everybody Welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Levi WitherspGen and family of WombIe will be here next Wednesday to spend a week or more visiting the Woodells and others.
 John E. Elliott, father of w Elliott came in from Iowa last Saturday morning to visit month or two and enjoy the fine weather in the south. Ed Tate drove through Cove last Monday with a load of hogs. A long drive for Mir. Tate all because the K. C. s. will not give Cove a stockyard or loading pens.
 We notice that Messrs. Wyler and Johnston, certified public accountants of Kansas City, are here this week making an annual audit of the books and business of the Cove Lumber Go for the last year
 Jim Hegwood's little boy fell from a pile of lumber last Sunday and broke both bones in his right arm. Dr Young was called and made the nec- essary repairs and the little fellow is getting along nicely.
 We noticed on the streets of Cove last Tuesday, v1- friend, c. M Fulton who came in to make his annual con- tribution toward running our county and state. Mir Fulton always has a pleasant word for. the Mena Star.
 I. Ross Silvey thinks of putting his farm in to 5-acre tracts and building a home on each one. This is a splen did idea for so many want home with acreage to live on. Others ought to think about this for all this land close in to Cove would make nnicc homes. Cove is going to grow.
 On next Sunday evening at the Pres byterian church the young people will organize a Christian Endeavor and we would be pleased to have all young people who do not attend other churches to come out and help sing and enjoy these Sunday evenings meetings. Everybody is welcomed.
 Howard J. Elliott and his good wife, gave a fine Sunday dinner in honor of his grandfather, John c. Elliott of Des Moines. Iowa, who will be S5 years old on the 3rd of March. There were present on this occasion, Mir and Mrs. A. NJ. Woodell and MT. and Mrs. Walter Elliott At this dinner there were four generations represented, J, C. Elliott. Walter Elliott, Howard J. Elliott and Ralph H. Elliott. This bunch had their picture taken, also the three grandfathers and the two grand mothers

Two Good Propositions.

George Swatty of Cove, a man who has had IA years experience in hortl- cultural work, is now trying to organ ize company in Cove to plant and raise all kinds of plants, flowers and shrubbery, to ship early vegetables and kinds of flowers to the larger markets. This is a good proposition and is worthy of your consideration. MT. Swatty will incorporate and make it a good safe investment. Why can't our berry farm be handled in the same company? Two good propositions to make money for the men who will take stock in it. Buy farm of l60 acres, close in, one-half mile Qf Cove, for $3,000. Good land, jusf the best land in Polk county for berries, all kinds of garden truck and winter vegeta- bles and roses for city trade. All han dled by general overseer. This stock will be sold for $5 or S10 a share within reach of any one. This proposition looks good to me. See MT. Swatty now, before it is too late, and make money on berry farm and a green house for vegetables and flow CTS

valuc Of Good Ronds.

There is an old saying to the effect that one may judge of the civilization If a country bV it's r0adS--the better the roads the higher the civilization Savages have no roads; the old Rom ans built roads so durable that some of them are in use today. France. Ger many and England and other coun- tries of Europe have much better roads than We have In the United States. t ss in anlsa few of the more progressive states of our coun- try where really good roads are 10 be found But the interest in good roads is growing and their value to the coun- try thru which they run is gradually being recognized. It is a hard mat ter to convince the taxpayers that d few dollars expended on road improve ment will prove a paying investment, but this lesson is eing learned an in time will result in good roads
 Good roads provide better schools and better churches. better education add better morals. better health and greater happiness.
 The value of country schools depend largely. on the condition of the roads When the roads become very bad many children are prevented from attending school regularly and both the school and the children suffers. It is not un-. usual for country schools to be close D for weeks at a time on account of the condition of the roads. Many country people who wish to provide their chil- dren a good education are forced to move into some town to secure It. II is useless to expect first-class country schools without good country roads.
 Churches in the country are as much dependent on good roads as country schools are. When the roads are very bad many people gradually become in- different about attending at all They become lax and the morals of com munity suffer. country without good roads can have neither first-class schools nor frst-class churches.
 The happiness of most people is to a large measure dependent on the society of their neighbors Few people can be happy when they are forced to lead the life of hermits. In many country dis tricts the women and children were cut off from all society just because 1t IS smore labor than pleasure to get about 1 It is no unusual thing for persons 1T i the country to be far removed from al medical assistance and persons cut of from the doctor have died from wan I of proper treatment. Good road' bring more and better society, nor
 health and happiness and better doc tors.
 The old saving. '',rime is Money" ma, i be applied to the farmer. because if h
 reduces the cost of marketing his crop
 he increases his profits. Over goo i roads he can in the same time handl
 almost twice as much produce, witt
 less wear and tear on his teams. thai {, over roads that are full of rocks ans ! mudholes.
 When we remember that all the pro ! duee of the farm, in order to find c
 market must pass over some kind or { road We can realize then how impor' 1 tant the question of good roads is t' the farmer
