CITIZENS BUILD
ROADS UP TUG

The way TO make the roads passable
is TO get out and make them passable.
This has been demonstrated very
recently by the citizens along Tug
river between Louisa and the Martin
county line.
a month ago. and for ages" prev
fous, II was impossible to get through
on that route. There was big slip
in the road at one place that occurred
long ago making an impossible place
At many other points the condition
was very bad.
About three weeks ago Robt. w. Vim
son started movement amongst the
citizens to get out and repair the road
without any compensation, The prop
osition was enthusiastically received
and resulted in So men and several
boys volunteering TO give their labor
Also, the services of seven teams were
contributed.
To make the story short this little
army of good citizens made road over
which automobiles may run to the
Martin county line. A culvert and NIL
was put in at one place that would
have cost the county about $500.
We are told that the men and boys
who worked out this road put more
pep" into the job than was ever be-
fore seen in that part of the county.
This is very commendabie ex-
ample. If followed in all parts OF the
county the roads would be kept open
for traffic at all times. Also. that
spirit would bring real roads all over
the county sooner than we may ever
hope to get them otherwise.
If the county officials would follew up
such worlsas this with patrol system
the results would be fine. If the Tug
road were divided into sections now
and contracts let to citizens along the
way to keep the road in repair, II
would he maintained. Under such a
plan the contractor cures a mudhole
as soon as II starts; he keeps the
bitches open and the road dressed. He
can not afford to neglect repairs.

worked the road free.

The taxpayers of Pike county are
saved for the year of 1921 at least
five thousand dollars ls5000.00) in vir-
tue OF this piece of legislation.
Very truly,
T.. E. TRIvETTE.

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration of
Judges and Spectators.

One Of the most interesting sights
at The international Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. As the Cana
dian section of these parades~ came IN
to view and as IL passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There We're two or three reasons for
this the principal one being that In
this section there we're the wonderful
ClydesdaleS, the BelgianS and the Per-
cheronS that had carried off champion
ships ana first prizes. The province
Of saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play Of ClydeSda]es and showed in a
number of classes. and in every class
they got in the money. a remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan showing

Another of the reasons for the APP

the parade was the heartineSs with
which the American spirit was imbued
