Joplin, Feb. 22.-The above move
may be taken as the first real steI
toward definite action on the elabor.
ate system of high type roads which
aer to connect the communities o1
Missouri under the state road law
road men said yesterday.
The action of the commission was
described as a great victory for the
men who have striven for years tc
realize their ideals in connection
with a vast system Of roads for Mis-
souri,.
Visualizing further ahead, the road
boosters of the state and of the Jop-
lin district in particular, can see on
the horizon the realization of their
fondest ambition-a high type road
from Joplin through Webb City, Car
thage, Springfield, Rolla and into ST.
Louis. It's completion would be an
Overwhelming victory for those who
have striven for the past ten years to
make such a road reality.
AS many of the pioneer road build
ers of the district have often said, it
would open up to st. Louis and points
beyond, the great southwest of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas. They have pointed out that Jop-
lin is the gateway to this vast terri
tory and the establishment Of the
road would open up tradeway of un-
limited opportunity into the east.
John Malang, superintendent of the
Joplin Special Road District, and one
of the most ardent workers in the
state on behalf of the Missouri road
system, was in Springfield yesterday
road men there in the op-
portunities before them in the estab-
lishment of such a road.
The road men of the district, who
have spent their time and energy on
the development of state highways,
may feel that their work is beginning
to show its desired results and the ac-
ton of the state commission may be
considered by them as the first real
step toward realization of their am
bitions.

A MISTAKE

Thousands of people make is in
taking what is known as laxatives.
There are many, many kinds and all
harmful except perhaps one or two.
Chiropractic is not a laxative, but it
is "a hand adjustment that rights the
wrong, or makes the wrong right.
After that, if you will eat the kind of
food you were intended to eat, you
will never more have constipation or
have to takelxaatives.
