CHINA IS SHY ON ROADS

China has yet some discrepancies to overcome before it will rate as satis- factory motor travel country, accord ing to Touring Topics. While condi- tions are reported as having been sat- isfactory for a number of centuries for hand-drawn sedans, motor-car owners are chafing under the handi- cap of inadequate highway facilitates:
 A letter from w HI. Donald, editor of the Far Eastern Review, Picking, China, discloses that in the 4,000, ,000 square miles of territory that is China there is not one motor road ninety miles long.
 The upper classes are making an is- sue of good roads because they have nowhere to drive their motor cars.
 In Picking ten years ago there were no motor cars at all. There are now several hundred and the number is in- creasing monthly.

GROWLS OF THE OFFICE DOG

Remember Hobson of Spanish war kissing fame? Well, here's another. A young Irish-Bohemian is reported to be on hiking trip across the con- tinent and he made wager with some of his Greenwich artist friends that he would or could win kisses from thousand girls. We ask why stop at a mere thousand? He will no doubt exhibit a sore lip after the proceed ings and some husky young maid may give him sore jaw, but it's all in the game.
 "What seems to be the matter with the editor?, he looks overwhelmed with work"
 He's knee deep in June poetry", re- piled the other half of the sketch.
 Note-The editor says this is no joke.
 Milton said, "A good book is the precious life blood of master spirit embalmed and treasured up to a life beyond"
 Economy should be the watchword. We have earned more money in the past few years of high wages than was ever dreamed of in the philosophy of the workers. But we've spent lot of it too. Now the time has come when the man with a few dollars ahead of the game is the one who has a com fortable feeling in these times of re- adjustment.
 An editorial says that strange as it may seem our numerous government employees in Washington may have tp go to work to retain their places. We'll, let's hope that General Dawes proves to be a man who believes in an honest day work for an honest dollar. The days of political graft are passing.
 The general health of the public should be the first consideration of all people. Strong, healthy children will form a sturdy race upon which to found future generations.
 The reserves of Ignite in the Ne mana region, Alaska, are estimated by the United States Geological Survey to be nearly 1O,0OO,0O0,00O tons, which exceeds by nearly 3,00O,000,000 tons the estimate made few years ago, on the information then available, of the total quantity of ignitic coal in the Territory. The new estimates, which are very moderate, indicate that the quantity of coal available in the Ne mana coal field is greater than that in all the other surveyed fields of the Territory.

lew. ~ farm at a profit frequently
goes broke; the ia .mer IN town can
play the town came and WIN but the
citS man can rarely max =. living
in the country.
Seeing thu our bread, on. meat,
our butter, our eggs, our blankets,
and our sheets, eve .ything we eat or
wear, comes from the country, and
that the cities a-e never more than
one week ahead of sta walton, unless

realize the fact that these unseen
workers who keep us fed are fellow
men of high intelligence, of as eff
cinet ability.
Consider this: When did a reform,
an uplift, ever start in town?
The ia mers of the nation have in
augurated every forward movement
the nation has seen, and the farmers
Of every county are always the last
to be swept away by passion, revolu-
ton or mob hysteria. A farmer is
self sufficient if he makes a living;
the majority of townsmen are de-
pedent for thei, daily bread and
breath, their heat, their light, and
thei- transportation, on some corpor-
alton, some servant, some caterer.
The farmer is his own butcher, bak-
err, doctor, blacksmith and street car;
also he is his own policeman, and us
ually his own magistrate and grand
jury. Consider how few civil and
criminal cases come from the coun-
t-y; the countryside needs few laws
ana few officers, for every man dwe.ls
in his own kingdom, and as he gives
justice to his neighbor so it is meted
to him again as matter OF course.

OUR FRIEND, THE FARMER

Everybody clings to lot of clap
trap.
= One foolishness common to towns
men tn world over is the idea that
the farmer is hick. That somehow
he isn't quite as bright, or as clever
as a business man, or as well read
as the townsman.
The farming class in this country
have always averaged higher in ma
tive wit and ability than the town
folks. Of late years the American
farmer has been better read, better
educated, and a far better business
man than many of his town brethren
and sisters. Anyone doubling this is
invited to read any farm paper of
national circulation and note the con-
tents thereof, and their to read a
typical smart" magazine that APP
peals to the strictly urban intelli-
gence, and note what sort Of claptrap
it contains.
The American farmer has more
time to read, more isolated opportun-
ity TO think, fewer unnecessary things
to do and he gets on the job earlier
in the morning to do 'em.
And while every other business
has nearly broken its back scramble
ing through this postwar deflation,
the farmer has taken the biggest IL
ouidation of any business, has cor
tinued to buy IN dear market and
sell in cheap ore, and has Rens,ally
weaihered the storm without Federal
aid or public sympathy.

MR.. WATERS REPLIES
TO MR.. ROGERS

Editor Star: l see Mr.. Rogers is
back again with some bobtail records,
and accuses me of lacking on some
of my January expenses to the $4,000.
As every one knows the present board
did not come into office until Jan. 4th,
1921, while the budget year began
Oct. 1st, 1920. The new board, after
being organized Jan. 4th, did not
have any bills to o. K, as we had not
made any. We did not meet again
until Feb. 9Th. So quoting from the
auditors report of Jan. 31st, Mr..
Rogers knows / could not have charg-
ed him UP with my January expenses
We note again he quotes what the
records show ON Jan. LIST, but fails to
tell what bills he o. KID on Jan. Bird
just before his term of Office expired
He admits having paid out in October
S1138.31, November $1531.60, Deem

which were $2479.27. Bob. borrow

if you did not spend over $4,000. Or
if you will sign an oath from Judg'
Futch that you did not o. K. thes'

try to get the money back, or sem
some one to Raiford. Now, Bob, pu

board of which Mr.. Rogers was chair
man, borrowed $4,000 to help pa,
these bills: October $4,000, Novembe
$500, December $4,000 and Januar
3rd, 1921, $1,000. Will you den
