He Who Hesitates IS Lost

Quick deals in Mena real estate are no rarity nowadays. but one was con- summated that not only involved fast work, but illustrates well the heading to this article. Walter Sossamon, with the Kelly -Stratton Company, had offered to a prospective buyer what he recommended as bargain in city residence property. The ?. b. hemmed and hawed and hesitated and while he was doing all this Dr. w c. Vandiver, who had been standing by listening to the conversation, remarked If you don't want it, I'll take it The ?. b. said he'd think it over, but the doctor got in Sossamon's car, drove out and looked over the property. Finding it as represented he came back and closed the deal. This is how it hap pened that Dr. Vandiver became the owner of the Trautwein property on Gam street.

4 Bitter PiiI-This Highway Deal.
 fPv Joe T,ewit

4 Bitter Piil--This Highway Deal.
 tBy Joe Lewisl
 To begin at the top and come down ward our unpleasant and unjust road deal is but to two big errors
 The first one isAThe powers that wanted good roads regardless of how they got them.
 The second Is We farmers and others, who had become displeased with the way things were being car ried on, failed to he on hand when the roads were granted by the county courts and have our names scratched off.
 Once the petitions were filed the County, Circuit and State officials had things their own way. saw this a year ago and it was one reason why I stepped out of the anti-highway fight as l did To go further with our suit unless we could get a square deal was to throw our money away.
 We farmers will have to learn to act In time. To illustrate: On next Satur- day court is to meet and decide on some lateral roads. Those who have signed the petitions but now desire to have their names scratched off should be on hand early or else write Judge Finger letter A blanket petition Is no good
 Speaking for myself my name is not on any of those petitions and never will be. A petition where public finan- cial affairs are concerned is the great est scheme in the world. Once you get mans name on a petition you can move him or legislate him around in any old way to fit any kind of selfish purpose known. The place to decide Slick tongued dollar lovers get some of us farmers in corner by ourselves before we have had chance to think or talk with others and in this way they ram anything down our throats they want to.
 Farmers need to mix with the world more Enlightment is what we need Legislation will never cure all our pub lie ills. Where there is an ignorant man somebody is going to take ad- vantage of his ignorance for some selfish end. Even kin folks skin one another and the more ignorant ones always get the worst end of the deal
 Courage is another thing we need Not that kind which makes us want to stab, fight and destroy. But that kind which makes us stand up and back our own judgment. Humanity is wiser than it has ever been before. But lots of people are afraid to express their opinions
 Any man or woman, church mem Der or what not, who will stand by and witness any kind of graft or de- ception going on about him without raising his voice against it is hypo- crite.
 Let them call us what you will but we need more solid genuine 100 per cent American knockers. In most cases knocker is a man who opposes some unfair deal. Therefore we need lot of knocker clubs established so we could make our knocking efficient.
 This progressiyenessl I'm sick of the name In ninety cases out of a hundred a progressive man is one who wants to be progressive at the public expense. In their own private affairs they would skin flea for it's hide and tallow and run it thru hell for its cracklings
 Now is the time for every loyal citi- zen to get in politics up to his neck and rustic for square deal candi- dates.
