and so they get along famously and
are terribly congenial.
As she talked yesterday. sitting be-
fore her mirror in her dressing room,
Miss Ring picked up a woody little
slipper sole arrangement, the kind
you put on crocheted slippers and

presents. and tipping a bottle of
something snow white, began her

And your brother-in-law Tommy
Meighan?" l said. DO tell me some
thing about him.
well. Tommy's been in the family
so long that he isn't a novelty any
more to me-" Miss Ring declared. rs
she put tiny bit of rouge here. and

rabbits foot arrangement. "Over in
England. of course. Tommy was the
rage long before he was ever known
in America. Seymour Hicks adorel
him and starred him, while in Amer

most popular screen artist of the
day.
Tommy and Frances have been
married 16 years." Miss Ring con-
tinued, delighted to talk about her
handsome brother-in-law, and II
Frances were jealous which she
isn't-she would have plenty of cause
for he certainly has the girls going.
They write him notes and want his
picture, and all that sort of thing.
and Frances is tickled to death that
he is so popular.
But why talk about menu" Miss
Ring veered round. I'D much rather

hear your sweet talk and observe
your wonderful optimism-and say,

Praise Age Herald Writer for Story
on City

Goodwater, November 24.-(Spe-
c!al)-The people of Goodwater APP
preciate the write-up of the town by
Frank Willis Barnett of The Age
Herald. The attractive and instruc-
tive narrative gave most of the peo-
pie and the surrounding territory
much valuable information of the
early history of the community.
II might have been truly said that
the territory contiguous to Goodwater
furnishes the best opportunities for
any one desiring to farm. Farm
lands are reasonable in price, pro-
ductive In all the usual farm prod
uets and the climate is healthy.

ton this year was a large one, and
the yield was far in excess OF that

through the past two months. Many
farmers are unable to get cans in
which to pack the syrup, and are be-
ing forced to use barrels. 1t is esti-
mated that the value of Butler coun-
TVS syrup will exceed $150.000.

Says Federal Road Money is Wasted


There is a lurking notion in Wash
ington that a lot of the Federal Aid
moey for highways is being wasted in
many of the States. Possibly this i'm
preston is partly due to the fact that
Senators and Representative are pre-
vented from giving their physical
presence to the demonstrations of
efficiency made by Federal, State and
District Inspectors, whose business it
is to check up on the work of county
and town highway officials. In any
event there is a good deal of the q
want to be shown Sentiment in the
Natioal Capitol. Senator King of
Utah, says that the State road organ
izations have received from the Gov
eminent, various road building equip
ment and motor driven vehicles, val
ued in excess of S1OO,OOO,OOO. A bill
for an additional 100000 of Fed
eral Aid money is in conference be
tween the two branches of Congress,
and before the money is voted the
same Senator would like to have a
general investigation of road opera
tions throughout the United States to
determine the truth of his claim that
the appropriations made by Congress
have been used and expended ''in an
extravagant and wasteful manner"
1t is fair TO say that the views of
Senator King do not represent the
general attitude of official Washing
ton, and he will have plenty of trouble
with his resolution, befre he is able
to convince his colleagues from
States that have the best kid of roads
that the work is not being we'll and
conscientiously done.

Money for Farm Exports

The.War Finance Corporation has
been empowered by Congress to issue
bonds for s1,5OO,OOO,OOO, and use a
billion dollars Of the money to aid the
farmers in exporting their products.
There was a lot of talk in Congress
about this legislation, and all hoped
that it would be helpful to the farm
ers in their present difficulties. The
movement of agricultural crops in the
domestic markets. and overseas to
foreign consumers has been very
heavy in recent months, and this is
likely to be still further accelerated
by the opening of the Government
purse-strings for the purpose of I'm
ancing the farmers. The heavy crop
movements at the greatly depressed
prices indicate that the farmers of the
country who have been holding their
grain and produce are unloading, not
withstanding the depressed MARKETS.
The Chicago stock yards have recent
" been receiving more cattle than
they could handle, and they have been
asking producers not to continue the
heavy shipments. The whole process
of farm business indicates that the
farmers have their backs to the wall
and must get money, no matter how
great may be their sacrifices.
1t seems probable that the farming
interests are expecting too much from
the recent legislation referred to
above. The billion dollars of author
lied financing is not likely to affect
the prices Of produce; since it repre-
sents merely 4 form of baking on a
large scale. Uhe cotton growers of
the South have apparently been great
" helped by the Government fnanc-
ing, as it has made it possible for
them to get their cotton to Europe.
The farmers as a whole will also be
greatly benefited by the financial
legislation; but it is clear that what
they need most is higher prices. And
that is something that Congress does
not appear to be able to furnish.
