North Dakota Corn and Wheat
Region Summary
For the week ending Aug. 19, 1924:
The weather during the week was
favorable for harvesting and thresh-
ing, but mostly too cool and cloudy
for corn. The spring wheat harvest
is we'll advanced and some late sown
is being out early on account OF
black stem rust. Rye and barley

Before Kiwanis Club

to appear before the Kiwanis club
of that city, whose membership is
made up of an exclusive set. Travis
did there just what his many friends
in this county knew he would do
that is made good. He always does
on such. occasions. Speaking OF the
meeting the Signal paid Mr.. Travis

riverman of McConnelsyilla, one of
the best known men in the Muskin-

cal Kiwanis club at the Central

before the advent of the railroad
and gave many thrilling tales of his
experiences while steamboating be-
tween this city and Marietta. Cap

old songs and made E'crat hit with

of many of the old favorite musical
numbers on the violin.

Homer TIP. Citizen
Writes About Roads

Editor Democratic was the
writer's good fortune TO be present
when Mr.. Falcon of the state high
way construction department, came
to look over the west end OF l. G. III.
sos. more commonly known as the
Ringgold road. We understand
that the state highway department
stands ready at any time to furnish
so percent of the cost of this road,
provided the county, township, and
abutting land owners furnish the
rest.
Why are Commissioners Pierpoint
and Barkhurst so aVerse to helping
us? Last summer a number of us at
tended a commissioners meeting
and presented a petition asking for
the improvement of this road in
Homer township They refused to
even call for a survey, claiming the
state would not grant it. We now
know this to be incorrect.
Athens county has received $780,
900 federal aid money. Why has
Morgan county received little or
none? Yet this is federal aid road,
and a part of an east and west state
highway. With few bridges, not
many culverts, good grades, and an
abundance of limestone, Immediate
ly adjacent, this road would be. re-
markably easy to build. 1t is the
most practical and direct route be-
tween the Muskingum and Sunday
Creek and Hooking valleys, yet any
appreciable aid received from them
must be compulsory We begin to
understand why, and we wish to
say to the business men of the twin
cities, that your Homer township
customers, who spend $4,000 or
| $4,000 with you annually, are quit
ting because the roads leading to
your towns are becoming worse each
| year
We wish to say to all those who
are vitality interested along the en-
| tire route, that we want the entire
road. and any work on this end will
| be an added stimulus to correct the
two ends, thus making complete

Death OF Lewis Huffman

Mr.. Lewis Huffman died Monday
night in Columbus where he had
made his home since last fall, going
to that city from his place across the
river from Durant. He was 80 years
of age and was born in Bloom town
ship, and lived much of his life in
the vicinity of Rokeby Lock. He
was twice married. His first mar
riage was to Sarah Hughes. She
died about eight years ago. They
had one son, Charles Huffman who
died about the same time as did his
mother. Later Mr.. Huffman married
Mrs. Jennie Newton who survives.
While in Columbus they made their
home with Mrs. Huffman's daughter.
Mrs. Coffey. Mr.. Huffman was an
excellent citizen. Many years ago
he joined the M. p. church at Eagle
port. He was the last of his family
of a number of children.
The body was brought to Eagle
port Wednesday on the II o'clock
train, and taken to the Eagleport
church where funeral services were
held, conducted by Rev. Frank Gilli-

Good Roads Meeting In Homer

Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Kincaid served
a bounteous chicken dinner last
Thursday to Chas. Bryson and Mr..
Falcon of Athens, both State road
men, and Commissioner Lowell OF
near Mountville, also to several 9TH
ers. These men were here in the In
terest of this piece of road, part
of the McConnelsville-Glou state
route. to extend from the end of pike
near Miles Kasler's residence to the
Union township line near G. p. Bak-
er's residence.
Our community is greatly encour-
aged by the meeting, and hope to
see this part of the road under con-
struction in the near future, and
that all concerned will put their
shoulder to the wheel and help push
i. along. We hope in few years to
see a hard surface road complete
through to our thriving little coun-
ty seat. so more of our dollars Will
remain in our own county instead or
going to others as they now are. Mr..
Falcon the state road builder ad-
vised the county to build what is
called a traffic bound road. That is,
as we understand it, thoroughly
graded and crowned surface and
each year layer of crushed lime
rock. After a few years this forms
a solid foundation, then layer of
fine rock covered-b tar which will
make it a complete hard surface
road.
This part of the county will be
greatly benefited by this road, for
the greater part of this becomes al
most impossible during the spring
months as it is mostly red clay
ground, and it rolls SO on the wheels
of vehicles.
We only ask our commissioners to
go ffty-ifty with this end of the
county, and feel they will be will
ing TO do all they can to see this
strip under construction as soon as
possible-XX.
