Good Roads vs.
Preparedness
T he jingoes are now talk
ing about spending three hun
di d million dollars on the navy
and one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars on the army,or four
hundred and fifty million dol
lar; per year getting ready for
war that ought never to come.
Four hundred and fifty million
(i liars a year would amount to
ai mt five billions in eleven
y . rs! That sum would gridiron
the United States with hard
r< ads twelve miles apart, so
that no citizen would live more
than six miles from a good road
which would enable him to go
everywhere. It is estimated
that a fanner can haul four
1 ■ ic a much on a hard road
as on a dirt road .What a boon
it would be to a farmer to be
relieved of mud embargo! The
st tn above mentioned would in
ten years revolutionize the road
traffic and travel of the coun
ts , but half that sum would
probably supply present needs.
1 we keep our army and navy
appropriations as they are now
and simply use for good roads
the sum which the jingoes de
si i • to add to these appropria
t ns. the benefits will be enor
n.' ■Good roads or frenzied
p paredness, which? —Bry

Livestock raising in connec
ts it with general farming is
s; for practice than growing
cti'jis exclusively. The more
an :nals the farm supports the
better the opportunities for
saving fertility and growing
la _ r crops, the less the like
lihood of crop failure and tin
wider will be the margin for
profitable farming.—Farm and

Independence county was not
going to have a candidate for
going to have any candidate
for governor.

A MAN’S PRAYER
Let me live, Oh Mighty Master
Such a life as men should know.
Tasting triumph and disaster
Joy—and not too much of woe,
Let me run the gamut over
Let me fight and love and laugh,
And when I’m beneath the
clover
Let this be my epitah:
“Here lies one who took his
chances
In the busy world of men.
Battled luck and circumstances
Fought and fell, and fought
again,
Won sometimes—but did no
crowing,
Lost sometimes—but didn’t
wail.
Took his beating—but kept
going _, ___
Never let his courage fail.
“He was fallible and human
Therefore loved and under
stood
Both his fellowrnan and wo
man
Whether good or—not so good
Kept his spirit undiminished
Never lay down on a friend
Played the game till it was
finished,
Lived a sportsman to the end!”

Good Printing
Styles in Job Printing have undergone many
changes in the past few years. The old style ef
fects with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
of date designs have no connections with modern
business methods. Consequently they use more dig
nilied type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
of their business as wi ll.
I he equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
meat is up-to-date in every respect. A splendid
new linotype, good power presses, and a fine
assortment of the latest type faces, enable us to
handle any kind of pr.nting promtly. Nothing but
the best material used, and our printing never
fails to please the most particular users of high
grade printing..
Our services ere at your command six days in
the week.
