 solemn truth. There is food in that considerab thought on the part of thousands As the Attorney General points out, the law must remain supreme civilization is retarded in it's intellectual moral and spiritual development
 Every crime wave, every deed of violence every concerted attack on law and order every open fout- ing of the statutes and authority if it goes unpun- ished and unheeded tends to weaken the structure national life Obedience to the laws of God and man must be taught and practiced, else there will be a gradual decline in civilization is glaringly shown in Russia R, today. sit1l4GWH people themselves.

THE TOLOVANA STRIKE.

These reports mean far more tran similar reports concerning lode strikes would mean for usually it is long time between discovery ol lode ore and operating mine.

Improvement of Highways

The improvement of public high
ways all over the United States is
carried on extensively in most of the
states, and Ohio is one of the fore
most. In many counties of Ohio. due
to the topography of the country.
the building of improved roads is
comparatively easy, compared to the
southern counties, especially Morgan
county, where the subsoil is often
slippery yellow or red clay. Then
the grades often are so great as to
reach and in some cases exceed the
established limit. In a level country
where road building material is
plenteous and transportation facili-
ties adequate, the expense is not so
great, and large comparative mile
age of improved roads is already
built.
Morgan county is to be congratu-
lated that 1t has as many miles of i'm
proved highways. 1t has not been
easy to secure them and sometimes
the land abutting is sorely tax
ed. according to its value for the
10 per cent. of the Improvement.
No man has undertaken and success
fully completed more miles of i'm
proved roads in Morgan county
than has H. D. Curtis. Six years ago
last August he began his first con-
tract of 2 k miles, beginning on the
Observation-Disclosures highway at
the VIM. Reiker place and building
towards Pennsville. His next con-
tract was for 1-3 miles, continu-
ing this same road through Penns-
vile.
The contract he has Just COM
pleted is a section adjoining the
brick improvement near Mr.. Hard
ing's on the McCOnnelsville-N Lex
ington highway and is 3A miles
long, reaching to the Deerfield
church. This has been one of his
most difficult jobs, where he met
with one serious problem after an
other. The A. B. Cowan hill certain
ly was nut to crack. But he did it
and no finer piece of road can be
found in the country than this az
miles.
The evenness of the grade, the su
perb mechanical skill required to
form the double curves with bitches.
and full width berms, the keying of
the stone and the grouting is all ex-
cellently done. This was very la
borious piece of work and he has fin
.ished it in fine style. While sand
stone was abundant, the limestone
necessary to complete the Job was
difficult to secure. 1t was necessary
to secure it from five different farms
namely, Messrs. Kinkaid, Weeden.
Cowan, Martin and Mccall. But
nothing daunted him, and it was fin
ished last Saturday.
Sunday there were hundreds of
automobiles over the road to view
1t and enjoy good smooth ride.
Mr.. Curtis is surly to be congratulate
ed on his successful completion of
this hazardous piece of work.

Investigate Before You Invest

How costly to the public is the
operation of the get-rich-quick pro-
mOter and his trained saleSmen, and
what important sums he is able to
secure from the small investors OF
the country, was told by D. c. Wills,
chairman of the board of the Fed
eral Reserve bank of Cleveland, to
the members and guests of the Co
lumbus Better Business Commits
sion Monday evening. During the
past year these people persuaded
small investors to withdraw from
savings banks more than a million
dollars each business day and invest
in stocks and securities that are
wholly worthless. Mr.. Wills has
learning the inside of the wildcat
promoters plans, as he served dur
ing the war on the capital issues
committee of the government and
met the men who sought opportunity
for putting out stocks and securities
of companies they wanted to pro-
mote.
Because of the continued loss of
these important sums and the seri-
BUSINESS of the loss to the investors,
ne mas been active in combating
them through the Better Business
Commission of Cleveland and has
delivered his address on safeguard
ing the small investor in numerous
places. These get-rich promoters
make a speciality of preying on the
small investor. They prepare clev-
er advertising showing large profits
and notable successes in companies
that have been promoted, these be-
ing employed to force the conclusion
on the minds of the prospective in
vestor that all promotions meet with
the same degree of success. The
talk of fabulous profits on small in
vestments for the small investor is
alluring and helps to unload the
security offered. Mr.. Wills is of the
opinion that only about per cent of
the promotions are deliberately dis
honest, the others failing because OF
lack of ability or adverse circum-
stances. His cure for 1t is greater
information. The plan employed
most successfully is for a large COM
pany to offer the investigation SER
