THE ROAD BOND ISSUE.

THE expenditure of the sixty mill
lion dollar road bond issue on the
highways Of Missouri is at this time
a leading question in the state. A
special session Of the Legislature will
convene soon to decide just how this
money is to be expended and where.
One Of the first considerations
should be legislation to protect the
road building fund from graft so that
every penny possible will be placed
on the roads. Furthermore the money
should be spent so that it will do the
greatest number of citizens of the
state the most good and for the
greatest length of time.
The roads built by this fund should
be supervised in such a way that only
the most suitable type of roads for
each section will be built and they
built RIGHT.
We feel that permanency in road
Dul1uiHB Is d iHdLIeI That suOulu SiilSi
strongly into decisions regarding the
character of the highways. We favor
a good cross state highway but not to
the exclusion of other road building.
We have heard a number of various
plans for the expenditure of this
money advanced. We agree in part
with some of them, but not wholly.
AS a class the farmers of Missouri are
really the most vitality interested and
we are glad to see them taking an
active part in this matter. In the
final analysis we want the money
spent to the best interests of the
state and those most vitality affected
If it is not so spent Missouri need
never expect to carry another road
bond issue for years to come.

Not So Bad

Notwithstanding hot July and August days and threatened drouths have slipped into September with bountiful crop in prospect. Wheat was pretty fair taken the whole country over and hay not but there will be enough and poultry products are de- cared to have been profitable the average throughout the entire summer.
 Farmers around Holbrook tell us there is more money in hogs this year than at normal times and all those who have marketed their by way of the pig are not complaining of prices Finished beef is being marketed with profit by good feeders although old cows and canners are literally down to the bone Sheep are declared to be too cheap but the lamb crop has been fairly remuneratve
 Taken by and large and on the whole the sentiment as well as the prospects the farm better than they have been since the slump started year ago. And as the farm runs so runs the town to large extent Some thing like normal purchases now being made by re. sdents of both town and country where prices are right and the wheels are beginning to move again We've still lots to grumble about and all of do our share of it. But we pretty we'll agreed that things are slowly be- coming brighter that they could be whole lot worse There still lot in faith and right now is good time to put plenty of faith in the future to believe that next week is going to be much better week than this

Carrying Weapons

We believe Holbrook citizens who accustomed to reading of the rapidly increasing number of tragedts being enacted throughout the country will agree with us when say there ought to be laws enacted prohibiting the purchase of pistols other deadly weapons without
 written permit from sheriff, chief of police town marshall responsible constable magistrate. This thing of charging to the hardware store every time you get enrged when the old carna nature begins call for revenge is becoming too common and with little legislative assistance, by making it difficult to buy deadly weapon it would prevent many a fellow from committing murder. We have studied the matter care fully and have been unable just why country boasng the type of citizenship and Christianity should desire manufacture such weapons for general sale or to place them the market where it becomes possible for anyone, young or od responsible irresponsible to become the bearer of article dangerous as it is ible for human brain to invent.

It is being openly charged by some of the largest newspapers this country that coal shortage being purposeIy framed up with view to creating famine this winter sufficient in extent to send the price of coal higher than it has been. It the report IS largely based facts oo and proven by survey of the coal mining districts It high time the federal govern ment turned its attention to this matter. stitch in time saves nne and of prevention now will be worth pound of along about the tune the temper ature drops towards and the coal bin is empty We have been taught to look to for protec tion and that's why we feel entitled to have it now when dangerous practise threatens to suf- fering in the homes of millions of our people.

She Knew

He had been keeping her company eight years and had never even mentioned marriage and she had decid- ed to give him a strong hint the first opportunity she had. It came during one of the late summer days. As they started for a walk into the country she caught up a bright red sweater to wear. He touched her arm. 1 wouldn't wear that if I were you, Grace" he said. "The field in which the vioiets grow best has a Jersey bull in it and"
 "Oh, then, 1 wont wear it." she said emphatically, throwing the red sweater on the rack. ''If in eight years you haven't got enough courage to rescue me from an approaching spinsterhood I know you wouldn't have enough in a few minutes to save me from an approach ing b u H." = Indianapolis News.

Teaching Daughter

It is mistaken kindness for any Holbrook mother to do the work daughter should do. Every girl should have certain duties about the home and she grows older these duties should increase and the work of the mother should decrease It is big mistake to let your daughter fritter her time away, trying to make you think she is not strong enough to take serious repons bility You may not wish her to take big responsibilities but you should fill her time with useful and interesting employment. No matter who the girl, there comes
 time when she is going to find it essential to know thing about housekeeping and experience and informa ton in regard to household duties valuable assets to a woman, no matter how much money she may have.

ers to buy their farms. Because Of
the opposition Of the Forum and its
crowd, and, became Wall Street is
North Dakota's bonds, it
has been unable to carry these plans
fully into effect.
Buttno one state can grapple sue
cessfnlly with the entire grain mar
keting problem. The League knows
that. That ID why it has gone into
national politics. It has sent to the
next congress +. F. Ladd and ]. H.
Sinclair. These men will be found
consistently and vigorously fighting
for public control OF ownership Of the
banking system and Of the marketing
system, and to put, an end completely
to gambling.
Thru E. F. Ladd and J. M. Ander-
son the Equity has. had a big part
in the work Of the Committee Of II
in formulating a wheat pool plan. Such
a plan lies at present outside Of pol.
itics, and therefore outside Of the di-
rect province Of the Nonpartisan
League. But The Courier-News does
not know Of a single Nonpartisan
League member or editor who does
not heartily indorse the principle Of
a wheat pool, nor Of a single 1. ". A
politician or editor who does sincere.
ly indorse it.
This, then, is what the Nonpartisar
League has done, and is still trying tc
do, to improve marketing conditions
and to make impossible another 5000,
100000 robbery. Will the Forum
now explain what it has done, or what
its friends have done, besides attempt
ing to wreck everything the organic
ed farmers have tried to do, ant
sneering at the very idea that tn,
farmers are being robbed?
