The city council held a special
meeting Wednesday night to con-
slider the Kennebec hill street mat
ter. Those who travel this street
know the terrible condition it is in.
This condition was brought about
very largely because of the heavy
hauling of the contractors building
the GAINESVILLE road. This hauling
has been stopped by the mayor,
since but little more of such hauling
would make Kennebec hill beyond
travel. The decision of the council
was to take the matter up with the
state highway department in an ef-
fort to get that department. to fix
Kennebec hill. At this meeting
Atty Danford represented the road
construction company.

words: "Ihe most beautiful woman
in the world" 1t made us wonder
who is so silly as to suppose that
anyone is going to believe that state
ment, regardless of how pretty the
face in the picture.
Has the man who made that state
ment seen every girl in the world,
face to face? Certainly not. Nor
has he seen one-half of them, nor
one ten-thousandth of them. And
another thing, does this girl really
become the prettiest girl in the
world simply because a magazine
editor and her own personal friends
think she is? Isn't it possible that
their idea of beauty is far different
from the ideas of millions of others?
We are not pointing out any
world beauties" around Mountain
Home, and yet we have seen any
number who will measure up in a
beauty contest with the young lady
whose picture appears IN the maya
zine. She is good to look at, that is
true, but for that matter we have
liberal number of girls right here at
home who are just about 100 per
cent perfect when it comes to looks,
yet who do not fit about the bright
lights Of Broadway or Paris. So
when we run across one of these pic
lures with the claim that "she is the
most beautiful girl in the world"
we merely mark it down as silly rot,
and go right ahead feeling sorry for
the man who has never visited this
particular section of the good old

TOOK NO CHANCES

Not long ago an editor up in
Maine wrote up a swell reception.
He didn't want to take chances on
a libel suit, so he qualified his state
ments carefully. Here's what he
wrote:
"a woman giving the name of ].
G. Jones, who is reported to be one
of the society leaders of this section,
is said to have given what purported
to be a reception yesterday after
noon. 1t is understood that a con-
siderable number of so-called guests,
reported to be ladies notorious in
society circles, were present, and
some of them are quoted as saying
they enjoyed the occasion. It is
charged that the firm of Bower &
Black furnished the refreshments
and Stringham, the alleged music.
The hostess is said to have worn a
necklace of alleged pearls, which she
declares was given to her by her
reputed husband"

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
ABOUT THE BONUS

Announcement that Congress has
passed the bonus bill carrying
awards for those who served in the
World War appears to have created
considerable misunderstanding in
and around Mountain Home. We
understand that quite few of those
entitled to the bonus under the new
legislation are applying to their
postmaster and their congressman,
and even to state officials, to know
how much they are going to get and
when they are going to get it.
At this moment we haven't at
hand full details of the provisions
of the new law, but we do know that
the bonus is to be in the form of in
surance and is not to be paid out
Immediately in cash. We also know
that orders have been sent out of
Washington to government officials
to the effect that a full explanation
of the bill will be forthcoming with
in short time, but that it is I'M
necessary to take the matter up
with postmasters, as they will have
absolutely nothing to do with the
bonus-paying machinery. An army
of clerks and officials is now work
ing on instructions to those entitled
to bonus, and each and every one
of these will shortly hear direct from
Washington. They will be told how
to figure out their term of service,
how to determine just how much is
coming to them under the new law,
and how to go about getting the in
surance.
We have no inclination to discuss
the merits of the law. TO many it
is satisfactory-to many others it is
not. We know nothing Of its merits
or dement's. All that we know is
that this government is obligated to
the men who fought for it, and now
that 1t has been decided to set
tie that obligation it should be done
without delay or unnecessary red
tape.

devote to anonymous letters, or even
signed letters that are intended to
stir up trouble or to damage some
ones character or hurt their feel
ings. The newspaper is the best
place in the world to air opinions.
But it is the poorest place on earth
to try to vent your spite on some
one, or to attempt to injure some
ones standing in the community, or
someone's business. We want to be
honest with everyone, whether they
are readers Of the paper or not. And
for that reason we have no space for
"roasts' or knocks" that are not
deserved. If you have an opinion
you believe of interest to the com
munity, write it out and send it in.
No matter if it doesn't agree with
our opinion, you are entitled to ex-
press it. But don't write something
you won't sign your name to, and
even if you sign it don't expect it to
appear in print if it strikes us as
being intended to damage someone's
good name, someone's business or
any institution in the neighborhood
that is entitled to our support.

TO TROUBLE HUNTERS

We long ago realized that news
paper cannot be successful If it does
not open its columns to its readers.
We have always felt that the one
sided newspaper is not an honest
newspaper, but that its columns
must be opsn to anyone who differs
with the utterances contained in it.
So when letters that are properly
signed some to us, they receive con-
sideration. But we have not the
space, and we never will have, to

East Lake Country Club, Atlanta,
Ca, April 5.--Arthur Havers, national
open golf champion OF Great Britain.
this afternoon defeated Bobby Jones.
,wo and one up in their 3ehole inter
national match staged here.
With the defeat of Jones. the ques-
ton of British-American golf surprem-
acy was definitely settled, as the
southern youth holds the national
open championship title of the United
States.
Havers' victory was the more inn
pressiye as he won from Jones on the
latter's home course. Bat putting
throughout the game was responsible
for Bobby's defeat. Time and time
again Jones missed short puts. and
the Britisher gradually increased the
lead which he held throughout most
Of the game.
Long drives by both champions fea-
tured the play from the first hole to
the last.
Intermittent showers fell all day
and slowed up the corse.
