VALUE OF ROADS TO FARMER
The value of good roads may be
better understood when it is known
that the average cost to farmers of
the United States to transport pro-
duce to market is more than 23 cents
per ton per mile. These figures do
not include the cost of breakage of
harness or vehicles. The cost per ton
per mile over hard surfaced roads is
less than half the present average.
THE BEST COMMENT
The best comment that has been
made on the proposed peace confer-
ence, and the one that conveys the
one dominant lesson for the ages, is
the cartoon showing representatives
of the various powers seated around
the conference table and bearing on
their battered persons some of the
war scars, all uniting in one loud
wail, "Oh, why didn't we have this
conference before the war?"

Aged Couple
Live In City
Probably one of the oldest couples
in this section of the state live in
Drumright. They are Mr. and Mrs. E.
R. Rosson, who reside with their
son, B. F. Rosson, in the south part
of the city
Elias Rector Rosson is 83 year*
old and a veteran of the civil war,
having served with the Confederate
army during that great conflict. He is
a native of Missouri, having lived at
Jefferson City for a number of years
before his marriage, after which he
moved to Oklahoma. He is English by
birth, having been born on Christmas
day, celebrating his 83rd birthday
only a few days ago.
Mary Jane Rosson, his wife, is now
75 years old, having reached that age
on December 20th., last. She is in
good health and very spry for a wo-
man of her advanced years. She is
Dutch by birth and a native of Illi-
nois.
In 1849 Mr. and Mrs. Rosson moved
to Oklahoma

many men dismiss from their minds to 0klai

^ being one of the first
the story of some poverty stricken 1
family. The chances are five to one
that that same family was induced to
move to town because of poor
schools and poor roads in the coun-
try. The remedy for much of the pov- • —
erty now in our towns is good roads j ^oma was r°uph and rugged, before

and good schools in the country. Why ' wkite man claimed the state as his
should not country schools be given J 0Wn' Many years ag0' near the town
the same attention given city and Rtl"0"H 1,0
town schools. Why should not the
children be permitted to go to them
over good roads with dry feet, instead
of wading through mud and water?
Good roads will make the country a
better place in which to live.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
In an argument for good roads,
some wise man, whose name has been
lost, made use of the following:
Roads rule the world; not kings, nor
congresses, nor courts, nor consta-
bles, nor ships, nor soldiers. The road
is the only royal line in a democra-
cy, the only legislature that never
changes, the only court that never
sleeps, the only army that never
quits, the first aid to the redemption
of any nation, the exodus from stag-
nation in any society, the call from
savagery in any tribe, the high priest
of prosperity, after the order of Mel-
chisedec, without beginnings of days
or end of life. The road is umpire in
every war, and when the new map is
made, it simply pushes on its great
campaign of help, hope, brotherhood,
efficiency and peace."
of Stroud, he conducted a mill where
he raised his family. To them were
born four girls and six boys. Of the
girls, three are living, and all of whom
are widows. Of the boys, four are liv-
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. Rosson, although ad-
vanced in age, are still active. They
are both devoted Baptists and Chris,
tians and one of the proudest old cou-
ples one could imagine. Their life is
always bright and they are always
cheery.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
TO RAISE A MILLION
The Baptists of the south have in- j
augurated a campaign to raise
000,000 within the next five years to i
increase the endowment funds of
Baptist schools and colleges through
out the south and to equip them with
new buildings where necessary. The
Baptist University at Shawnee, the
leading Baptist educational institu-
tion in Oklahoma, will benefit from
the fund something like $150,000,
which will probably be spent in the
erection of new dormitories, which
arc very much needed, according to
Rev. W. S. Wiley, field secretary of
the Sunday school board of the South-
ern Baptist convention, who has just
returned from a conference held at
Nashville, Tenn.
Dr. Wiley stated yesterday that the
immense fund will be raised by church
collections, private donations and by
educational rally days in the schools
and colleges of the Southern Baptist
church, which number 18,000. He
said the educational committee of the
church, which recently met in Nash,
ville, estimated that it will require
v® ycars to complete the fund.
