JOYOUS JuNKEr

The Holly Commercial Club held
q jazzy, jolly iamboree last Friday
night at the Club rooms. The
Methodist ladies' served fine fried
chicken dinner with all the fixings,
topping off with pumpkin pie, af-
ter which cigars were passed 1t
was just a hilarious bunch of IRE
pressible and irresponsible school
boys Of bigger growth during a
recess in business cares.
We just laughed and sang and
told funny stories and did not care
whether school kept on or not 1t
is just as necessary to keep the
wheels going around in business
activity
Some of'the old songs were sang
and an improvised choir gave some
parodies ON Joe Mack and drain
ing tie bottoms and also on schools
and churches in Holly.
John Adkins our genial post.
master had charge of the program
and made hit" with his fellows
as toast master He imposed a
hugh task on his toast servers re
quiring of each funny story or SO
Now 1T is easier, to be sage than
clown, or at least, to pass for one
but the speakers did right nobly-
the burr on the chestnut was not
oyer-visible.
The Special speakers were Messrs
Ilse, Gorby. and Steele, and they.
gave ds some kome-brew wit and
humor, rather spicy but good at
that. Two confessions given may
keep them explaining to their
friends: Said Prof. Ilse ~ smoke
and drink sometimes but don't
chew" and Rev. l. l. Gorby said, q
60 to the movies but I don't thinl,
by that I'll lose what little religion
l have. And Adkins limited pretty
strongly that Steele had been q
prodigal son in his recent absence
from town and the. speaker, giver.
chance, never denied it. What
are the good citizens of Holly com
ing to? But even at that "confes
sion Is good for the soul" Perhaps
the date Columbus Day, had some
subtle effect In extracting these
confessions. -
There was but little business. A
balance on hand in the treasure
OF S77G.SS was reported. A commuin
ication from the Editor OF The
Earth, Topeka, Kan, suggesting
that the Industrial concerns near
the Santa Fe tracks should put the
name Holly on their public out
side signs so as to give travellers
passing through some inkling of
the town they were viewing, prG-
voked considerable favorable com
ment Several speakers present
suggested similar publicity for the
Trail. AT present aside 1rOm tht
big plac3rd at the entrance of the
state, % tourist passing through
would net know the name OF the
town. Indeed, it is common ex-
perience for residents of Holly to
be asked by tourists the name of
the town and its population. Some
snappy slogan was also suggested
along with the name. The Execu-
tive Committee took the matter
unded advisement.
fhe next banquet, in November
will be in charge of r. ]. Ilse, who
will preside and provide for the
programme.

IMPROVED
ROADS
Scientific Adjustment
of HIGHWAYS Is Needed

Often it is thought that heavy vehi-
Giles. carrying heavy loads. are respon-
sible for the deplorable condition of
some of our highways. We have seen
Photographic and other proof of the
wrecking of roads, indicating that
these roads had been blown up from
beneath the surface. We have seen the
calamitous condition of pavements
smashed by pressure of some kind.
What Is the answer?
In the fall We find some roads APP
pearing to be models Of durability. In
the spring they are wrecks. Mean.
while heavy trucks had been driven
over them. Could there be a superb
cially palmer case of cause and eff
feet?
On some stretches Of the very road
where the collapse Of the pavements
Is most discouraging nothing goes
wrong. There the trucks do not crush
the concrete or buckle the brick pave
ments. The loads are precisely the
same that are hauled over the other
stretches of the road. The same
wheels of the same vehicles roll over
sections that stand up under the test
that roll over the strips that give
away.
What, then, Is responsible7
Is 1t the weight Of the loads or Is
1t the manner In which the road was
constructed? Is 1t the way the build
ers failed to adapt their work to the
conditions they had to deal within
Matters Of soil and drainage, ma
terials and construction methods were
not given proper attention.
When one road along q sandy ridge.
with good natural drainage. comes
through a hard winter scarcely the
worse for wear at any point. and an
other road In the same district and
the same climate, carrying the same
traffic, with the same truckloads, but
with spots where the subsoil Is wet
and there Is no natural drainage, Is
found in state Of collapse after the
frost comes out Of the ground, what
Is the logical conclusion? Is 1t lighter
roads or closer attention to drainage
and other important features entering
into the construction of our highways?
Isn't the remedy to be sought in the
more scientific adjustment Of the
highways to the natural changes in
the direction of larger vehicle units
and more economical transportation
on the public roads?
The question is vital to the solution
of the whole problem of county high
ways, their construction and mainte-
nance. 1t Is of immense Importance
to all producers and consumers. 1t is
a basic transportation problem for
Americas millions Of people who want
to do the sensible thing and the right
thing by all interested.
One of the gratifying evidences of
appreciation Of the value of truck
transportation throughout the country
Is the determination of responsible au-
thorities to have real highways, not
merely makeshifts. They have profit
ed by experience and realize that to
meet the transportation conditions the
highways must be constructed accord

nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
II the kidneys are not in a healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
