Sufficient Funds Not Appropriat

They Should Be.
Tin matter of tin- maintenance
of I In? roads of I liis county has
often been discussed ami many
of tin taxpayers of the county
have express- d their surprise at
Hit." high cost f maintaining the
'i-bads',' when, as a matter of fact,
ihe cost of putting tin roads in
shape, and maintaining them is
far less than that in other sec
tions of the stale ami I lie rate
over the slate is inneh lower
than that inaile in oilier states
ami in foreign countries, where
the matter of good roads is made
a close lmly of by I he experts
ami the cost rims much higher
than in this country. The watch
fulness of he old world coun
tries in expending I he largo sums
of money in the maintenance of
the roadways has resulted in a
reputation Ihat is world-wide
ami should be an object lesson
to our own country, where the
expenditure of even small sums
of money is greeted with a howl
from the watchdogs of the treas
ury, who believe in letting' the
roads go, rather than see them
fixed up at the cost of a little
money.
In England there -is expended
each year the sum of per
mile fur the main roads and -Si 12

France annually gives over the
amount of .$3it for the main
roads and as low as .(5 per mile

the care of the- roads comes un
der the charge of the different
slates of the empire, of which
Wurtlemberg as an average, the
eost of maintenance is about $ 500
per mile. Italy's cost runs from
274 on the national roads to
18.' on the provincial roads,
while Russia's cost is from $70
to 210 per mile, and part of this
is the work done by the convicts.
Tn Spain the expenditure is about
?2iO per mile each year for the
maintenance of the roads.
Here in Cass co-unty the cost
of keeping up the roads is noth
ing compared to those of the
ctiint lies printed a!uve, and
while the results have given
these countries the finest- roads
in the world, the different road
overseers in this county have
done as well as they could with
the amounts given them, perhaps
which have been far inadequate
to carry out the work needed. In
this county each precinct is al
lowed about $1,200 per precinct,
and it is estimated there is about
seventy-two miles of road in
each precinct, so it can readily
lie seen Ihat the cost of the Cass
county roads is not very heavy.

"SMART ALECK" GETS
A SLAP IN THE FACE
. BY HIS GRANDMOTHER
A very 'amusing incident oc
curred a few nights ago in one of
the moving picture shows of the
city and one that occasioned
much laughter from the parties
in the theater witnessing the affair.-
One of the young men of
the city, accompanied by two
companions, entered and took
their seats behind mie of the
young men's grandmother, and
during the course of the show the
young1 man leaned forward and
made some remark to her, which
was evidently not grea'ly relish
ed, but there was nothing said at
the time. A few minutes after
this incident the party of three
moved their seats .several rows
down toward the front, apparent
ly to escape the presence of the
elderly lady, and there was no
sign given that she noticed the
a tVair, but a few minutes later
she arose, and walking down the
aisle to where the young man
was sitting placed two resound
ing slans to the side of his neaa
and then walked out of the thea
ter, feeling- that it had been a
duty well performed. . The two
companions of the young man
were greatly alarmed at first for
fear the war would be spread in
to their persons, but there was no
more hostile demonstrations of
fered.

teams of the stale. There will
probably be a large number of
rootors accompany the llavelock

they deserve to take the game
from the visitors.
Fine Horse Dies.
Fred Lutz, one of the young
farmers residing near Murray,
last night had one of his best
work horses die as the result of
an injury the animal received
some time ago, and as the horse
was a very valuable one the loss
to Mr. Lutz will be quite heavy
and it will be hard to replace the
animal, which was an exception
ally good one.
Find The Cause.
In case of an accident you will
try to hi id the cause of the same

You should do the same in case
of sudden sickness, nervousness,

choice seats and there will be a
special seat sale in advance of
the regular sale, at which lime
those who sign the list will be
allowed to choose their seats. I

am able to secure the signatures
required. I have read the
criticisms from the newspapers
in the different cities in which
the company has appeared, all
speaking in the highest terms of
the attraction. Paul Oilmore is
paving us the trouble and expense
of a trip to New York by bringing
to our doors a New York produc

THE WHEAT CROP AT THE
COUNTY POOR FARM MADE
33 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE
The harvest at the county
farm, just west of this city, has
just been finished and the result
of the threshing of the -wheat
and oats crop has been very
gratifying to Ihe board of county
commissioners, as well as Super
intendent (ieorge It. Tains. On
Ihe twenty acres of oats ftlantcd
al the farm over 1,00 bushels
was threshed out. being about 53
bushels per acre, which is most
Haltering' yield, while the wheal
crop averaged 33 bushels to the
acre, which is certainly some
wheat. The result of the crops
on the county farm shows the
careful, care and attention that
Superintendent Tarns and his
men devoted to the preparing: of
Ihe soil and the care of the
growing crop and demonstrates
t lie fact that it . is necessary to
have a farmer who is right up to
the minute as superintendent of
the county farm, and in this
position Mr. Tains has certainly
been a valuable man for the in
terests of the taxpayers of the
county.

Secretarial Board Has New Plan
to Propose.
WOULD DECREASE MORTALITY.
Believe Weakling Infants as Well as
Strong Wold Be Helped Code Com
mission Finds Way to Print New
Statutes Crusade Against Firearms.
Lincoln, Sept. 18 A "Save the
Dabies" movement of state-wide scope,
and believed by its originators to be a
more advanced step than even th
"Better Babies" crusade, inaugurated
nt the last state fair, is likely to be
put under headway by the board of
secretaries of the t state board of
health. The details of the plan have
not been worked over, but the mem
bers are unitedly in favor of such a
movement. It is expected that full
conditions will be presented to the
state board proper within a fortnight.
As outlined by Drs. Carr ana cum
mins of the secretarial board, it would
be a comparative contest, that is. tots
of various ages would be measured
and examined from year to year regu
larly and prizes would be awarded to
those babies who made the greatest
annual irrmrovenient. An especial ef
fort would be made to obtain the en
trance of weaklings and babies whose
physical and mental conditions during
the first two or three years of their
lives were not of the best. Thus the
class of children which should b
reached by contests of this natur
would be included in the proposed
ctpn nnfi not alone the children whom
fond mamas and papas entered them
wholly because of their good pnysicai
measurements and mental brightness.
To carry out the plan the officials say
that they would have to have the as
sistance of doctors in all towns of the
state. An exhaustive set of rules
would have to be prescribed and fol
lowed and elaborate sets of blanks
would have to be prepared to keep rec
ords on the development of the con
testants. But in the end, the secre
taries believe, the work would be
worth while and infant mortality would
be greatly reduced.
Wants to Incorporate.
Sprague, an unincorporated village
of this county, claims a distinction
which few other localities in the coun
try can duplicate. Half of its voting
population belongs to its community
bras3 band and that half can ride in a
single hayrack, making a load no
greater than three mules can draw
over the country roads. The voting
strength of tho village is twenty-eight.
Its band, representing the live wires
of the place, came here to support a
petition for incorporation as a village.
The county board, by which action
must be taken, was serenaded by the
Spraguites previous to the mcetins
where the matter was discussed.
Crusade Against Firearms.
A crusada against the toting and
sale of firearms in this city is to fol
low as the result of the reckless shoot
ing of a woman at a charivari party,
the wounding of two negroes by guns
in the hands of other members of their
race and the mysterious killing of two
boys near here, all within the past two
weeks. A long talked of city ordinance
prescribing stringent regulations for
the sale of firearms will likely be pre
sented to tho city commission at its
next meeting.
Will Have Statutes.
Members of the state code commis
sion have finally settled the quest ios
of publ;cation of the state laws. The
Journal company, which bid low on
the work recently, will print the re
vised statutes and take a chance on
getting the balance of its money when
the next legislature drafts its de
ficiencies measure. The cost of the
job will rch above the $13,000 mark
and the code commission has only
about $12,000 on hand with which to
make payment.
Private Car Companies Pay Taxes.
Senate file 323, passed by tho last
legislature, requires that private car
companies, instead of being assessed
in tho counties shall be assessed by
the state board of equalization and
the companies shall pay their tax di
rect to the state treasurer. Under that
law the tax is being paid, the first
company to respond being the Illinois
Oil company of Rock Island with a
draft for $4.56.
Lutheran Seminary to Be Dedicated.
The German Nebraska synod of the
German Lutheran church is in session
In Lincoln. Besides the 100 or more
pastors of the synod who are present,
there are a number of officers of the
national head of the church in attend
ance. The session will conclude Sun
day with dedication ceremonies of the
new Lutheran seminary.
Sends Out Second Call.
Second calls for the payment of the
state license fee are being sent out to
hotels, rooming houses, restaurants
and apartment houses by Hotel Com
missioner Ackerman. Of the 4,800 es
tabllshments in the state-subject tc
the new law less than 1,700 have paid
fees to the state.

BISlPPtiBS BUT IS FOUND
Last evnninpf Ward Harr and
his wife had a very unpleasant
experience in -getting settled in
their now home in on3 of the
hunk cars used hy the employes
of Ihe Burliniilon section force,
and which are located along the
tracks near the depot. Ward,
who has just moved hero to work
on the section, had purchased a
brain! new mattress for their
roucli, and after pelting it safe
ly installed in the car he and his
wife departed to secure a bucket
of water, and on their return to
the car, after an absence of a few
minutes, they were greatly sur
prised to find the mattress gone,
and without a trace of where it
had disappeared. The police were
at once notified and Chief of
Police Hainey arriving on the
ground, started a search for the
missing- mattress, which was
located some distance south of
the old elevator in a patch of
Iiiph weeds, where it had been
thrown, evidently by some party
to have a "lit tie fun at the ex
pense of Mr. and Mrs. nan. The
mattress was brought back to
the car and hereafter will be
nailed down when the occupants
leave the car.
