If a merchant or a banker, or a
farmer, or an editors for that matter,
becomes involved in arrow with his
employees and has to close down his
place of business for weeks or
months he accepts his loss as man
should.
The coal operators, however, are
not of this class. They are saddling
their loss onto the public in the shape
of enormously increased prices Of
coal, and are profiteering in con-
scienceless and shameless manner.
And since Washington appears un-
willing to perform its duty. the public
becomes the goat and pays its pound
of flesh-Genesee News.

Next week will mark the beginning
of actual contraction work on that
portion Of the Moscow -Bovil state
highway lying within Highway Dis
trict No. g. The highway board, at
a special meeting held last Monday,
cleaned up some matters regarding
the right of way east Of Deary, which
gives them an opportunity to begin
work. 1t is the intention of the
board to complete the road from Hell
mer to Deary this fall. Mrs. Olive
st. Michel, whose opposition to the
right-of-wayr across her farm. has
been the source of considerable dis
cussion, met with the board Monday
and closed up a compromise arrange
ment. She accepted $500 as liquidated
damages and signed a right-of-way
deed.
This week the Commissioners made
some improvements on the Pine
Creek road near the Harlem piace'
using the tractor and grader.
The work had been left uncom-
pleted last spring.-Deary Press.

3 our legislature 8, its next meeting
should make an appropriation Of not
less than $4,000 with which to create

cnase calcium arsenate during the sun,

can get it cheapest and sell to the
farmers duringathe crop season of the
following year, at cost: the price paid
oy the farmers to be put back into the

next year. Under this 7Gc-sod of
handling, the appropriation becomes !
revolving fund to be used year after
year until the necessity for the use of
calcium arscnate has passed.
L have no hopes of getting the ma
tional government to act for the pro-
lection of the cotton growers for sew

legislature to act. Our legislature
does not meet until the middle of Jan
uary. five wait for them to act be-
fore anything is done for the protec:
tion of our farmers, it will be too late
for the 1928 crop; therefore let the

once and get behind this matter and
formulate a plan to protect our Off
