STRONG MAN ADDED
TO CITIZENS BOARD
To Handle Read Tax If Voted
Judge GoodIoe Writes To
Joe Hamilton

Joe D. Hamilton, one of the
best known citizens of the Union
City section of the county has
been added to the Citizens Com
mjttee to handle the special road
tax fund if voted on Nov. I. Mr..
Hamilton's integrity and sterling
honesty Of purpose are known to
all In making the appointment
Judge Goodloe wrote Mr.. Ham
ilton as follows:
Richmond, Oct. 28, 1922
Mr.. Joe Hamilton Union CITY.
My Dear Sir-As you know,
the Fiscal Court has authorized a
vote for special road tax of 20
cents on each Sl00 worth of
taxable property of the county
for the purpose of meeting the
State-Aid on all Of the state
roads of the county-seven in
Misunderstanding into all parts
OF the county and the Court has
appointed a Citizens Committee
to handle the. entire situation
therefrom, and, desiring
that this committee be as eff
cient as possible and that every
part Of the county have represen-
tation thereon and knowing the
place you hold in the esteem and
confidence Of the people and your
very commendable position on
all moral and civic questions | am
that you act as a mem
Der Of this committee.
AS you know the special tax is
to provide permanently for Oh.
state roads, thereby releasing
Immediately the pesent revenue
and machinery for the construc-
ton of the remaining roads of the
county 1t must be apparent t.
any thinking man what large
possibilities for road improve
nent this move promises for
Madison county. 1t will also lie
that a vote for the tax
will be a vote for each mans in
dividual road because every one
has to travel some part of one of
the state roads to reach his coun-
ty seat and because it will re-
lease progressively practically
five times as much and FIJI
equipment of machinery to buil1
the road on which he actuclly
lives.
Madison county is now payirg
$4,000 into the state road fun1
and the only way to get any ben-
eft at home is to accept the state
aid on these roads.
Once in every mans life op-
portunity knocks and in my hum
bic opinion that opportunity for
Madison county is now knock
ing and if a similar proposition
should come to an Individual in
his business, I'm sure he would
readily recognize it as the oppor-
tunity of his life. Let's see our
county's opportunity and help
her seize ito '...'"' jH" 32tgfn
9dFfoping5 that YOU may give
your service to your county in
its need and that YOU will meet
with your committee next Fri
day. Nov. 3 at the State Bank &
frust Co., at 2 o'clock. l am
Very respectfully
J. D. GOODLOE.

ISSUE OF ROAD BONDS MAY

Violation of Law Providing for

ways Alleged.

jefferson City, Mo-, August 3.
There is legal trouble ahead of
the State Highway Commission
before its program is in working
order for the issuance of $5,00O,-
600 of state bonds and starting
work on the system of 1900 miles
of primary state highway. In
junction proceedings will be
filed in the Cole County Circuit
Court here next week by State
Senator William c. Irwin of this
city to prevent the State Fund
Commissioners from authorizing
the issuance and sale Of the
bonds. 1t will be contended that
the Commissioners violated a
provision of the state law in To-
eating these highways, which
provides that they shall connect
centers of population in the state
and thus reach the greatest num-
Der of people. Attention was
called to this feature Of the law
at the meeting held by the COM
mission last week to obtain opin-
ions from various parts of the
state relative to the merits and
dement's of the highways pro-
posed by the engineers of the
commission in their report of

Death Of Mrs. M. A. Shobe.
Butler Weekly Times,
Rutler MiSsnnri

Butler Weekly Times,
Butler, Missouri.
Dear Friends
l am writing you Of my moth
er, Mrs. NJ. A. Shobe s death.
, She passed away June the 3Oth
at Woodward, Okla. Her hus;;
! band, Arthur Shobe, died seven
teen years ago. All the old tim
ers of Butler will recall this big
hearted couple who resided at
Butler for so many years. My
father, u. Shobe, held many
county offices there and they
were very popular couple.
Their home was never too small
Though there were six children
to receive all their country cou-
sins and friends, and l have Of
ten heard my mother tell Of how
she never knew whether she was
getting a meal for her family or
for many families, for all were
welcome at the Shobe home. My
father was Mayor of Butler for
long time. We resided the
second door north of VIM. +.
Walton's home but | do not re-
call the street. We moved to
Oregon in 1881 when | was slip
of a girl so Of course do not re-
member so much Of Butler at
that time, though l have visited
your beautiful town many times
since. After living four years
in Oregon we moved to Yelling
ton, Kansas, where we resided
many years. and at which place
the bodies of my parents and my
two sisters are resting.
NY mother was i'll only 20
minutes and never suffered IL
pain though she was conscious to
the last. Her acquaintance We're
here friends as was evidenced by
the many beautiful floral offer
ings at the funeral
As last tribute to one who
did all she could to make Butler
IA good place in which to. live |
am asking you to please give this
little account OF my mother S
death in your paper. 1t seems
that the Butler Weekly Times
has come into our home and was
part Of us more than any other
paper for we have taken it since
| was tot.
Thanking you for- your kind
ness, -"..
Yours most truly,
Mrs. ID. B. Wyatt,

Veterans Bureau Making Drive
for Disabled Ex-Service
Men.

The Springfield Sub-District
office of the U. S. Veterans Blu
reau desires to get in touch with
every disabled World War vet
eran in Southwest Missouri. 1t
is impossible for us to make per-
sonal contact with everyone, so
I'VE take this method of inform
ing them of their rights.
All cx-scrvicc men who are
suffering from disabilities or in
juries incurred or traceable to
service in the World War should
file claim before it is too late.
All claims for compensation
must be filed within five years
from date of discharge.
All applications for Vocational
Training must be filed before
December IL, 1922. At the pres
ent time, the Springfield office
has over six hundred disabled
veterans receiving Vocational
Training which will make them
independent and self-supporting
citizens. While they are attend
ing schoo | or learning Il trade
they are paid an allowance OF
from eighty to one hundred sew
enty dollars per month. Over
one million dollars was spent by
the government last year in the
Springfield Sub-District on Vo-
cational Training of the disabled
veteran. Veterans who are elig-
IDLE for training should get in
now before their time limit ex-
pires.
