baseless and the man innocent, where

While George Washington wa!
serving his second term as president
he was The most maligned man of his
day. He was slandered by venOmous
serp.nts with legs. Foolish men lied
about him and when he died he was
not popular. But today millions bow

| The government mas erected in his
honor the greatest and highest stone

The capital city OF the nation is

Historians place him among the IL

History has and is doins justice to

And the future historian will do
justice to Woodrow Wilson, Mil

grave with as much appreciation and

IMPROVED ROADS

Sometimes when the question of

cuSsed, someone rises to declare that
we are to poor and can't afford to
build them" No matter how rich
community may be, there are al
ways few people who think it is
too poor to build good roads and ad-
wise that bonding be put off until
times are better, until next year, or
until the community is weal;Aier ana
better able to afford good roads.
This time never arrives, for in this
day and time, without exception the
communities that have built and are
building good roads are growing aud
prospering, while thos" that have
failed to build them are barely hold
