charges. The following passage was
included in the communication:
when great grief comes no one is
in a bargaining mood but wants the
best"
A committee of ministers was APP
pointed TO confer with a delegation
of the st. Louis Undertakers' Asso-

Besides this large slide, Mr.. Gan
nett has constructed smaller one
for beginners and a large number of
boys. both large and small, were TAX
ing their first lessons and were doing
some pretty work initiating Mr.. Ole
son in a smaller degree.
From the interest shown in this
sport at its very beginning in this
section 1t is likely that before very

big winter carnival and it is the hope
of many that it may be held this very
winter.

STATIONS in the past two days. there
are many in the city who are seri-
ously planning to become skilful ski
ers.
The construction is located on the
top of high hill, just a few rods
south of the toboggan slide. Just at
the end of the slide there is rather
steep incline and this affords splen-
did natural facilities for trying ones
luck at jumping. The other hills in
the vicinity of the slide are also ex-
cellent places to ski.
Mr.. Oleson, the professional skier,
from Berlin, N. H., says that a great

make ideal skiing here.

The Commercial takes to the idea
of liberal appropriation for the
public highways over and above ev-
cry other public enterprise. So, out
of the clouds of an impenetrable
storm of appropriations the proposed
appropriation of $1O0,000,O00 by
Congress for the public highways
comes as beacon of light. We don't
need standing army of a quarter
of million. We don't need so darn
many improvements while the coun-
try is bled to death with taxes. There
is no demand for all these extrava-
gances and Congress should be made
to stop. We do need our public
school system, but we don't need Fed
eral aid or any other for college
training. The children should be
kept in school and educated at public
expense, but young men and women
should educate themselves with the
classics and the trades. If young
man or woman is too trifling to give
himself or herself Independent col
lege or vocational training the public
money spent in that way is wasted.
1t is a mistake. People should not
be taxed for these things. But there
is one enterprise that is more vital
to the people of the United States
than everything else, and that is the
public highway system. The con-
struction of standard highways in
the United States would solve the
railroad problems. A standard high
way system would give us universal
truck traffic and free the people from
the menace of organized labor and
the gluttony of the railroads. With
standard highway system, as Mr..
Bryan once suggested, we could mo-
Billie standing army of millions in
few days or weeks. Go in for pub
lie highways is the word.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
FOR WINTER EGGS

'Ealy Matched pullets will mature
and begin laying early in the fall,
and if properly fed and cared for will
continue to lay tEruout the winter"
say specialists of the Bureau of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.
Regardless of good types of houses,
of how well yards are kept, of bal
anced rations fed, it takes early
Matched pullets to produce eggs in
the early fall and winter when eggs
are ocarce and consequently high in
price.
