The Good Roads meeting here laat
Saturday was well attended and every

meeting and the question of good

crowd of cittoens from all over the

Judge Garrett of Mangum was pres-

taK how the tendency of the people
k** always been to become less Isolat-
ed. but how the period the world has
Juat passed through haa brought the
people as a whole to a greater realiza-
tion of the fact that no Isolation should
exist between people. The people in
the community, in the state.' nation,
and Internationally are closer than
ever before, and the unison is growing
freater every day. To accomplish this
condition effectively, means and av-
enues of communication must be es-
tablished. and the construction of good
roads is a step In thia direction.

taken equal Interest and action in the,
move. He further stated that agree-
ment on the kind of road and the |
material to be used would he made
easily, and how Oklahoma Is at ad-
vantage In building the roads, as she
has within her own boundrles most all
of the material that will be needed
to build the roads.
He made a brief explanation of the
two Good Roads bills that are now
pending before the legislature. The
bills are similar in most respects, ex-
cept In one It provides that the com-
mission that is to have, in charge of
the road building, be made up by the
Senate appointing two members from
two different political parties and the
House doing likewise and make the
Governor the fifth member. While the
other provides that the Govenor
made chairman of the commlsi
with the power to appoint the four
other members. Both Hills are still
pending and will likely be pending
during the time while the roads that
will be built are being laid oat and
which Is sure to be designated In the
bill when it passes.
Another Important argument that
enters Into this move Is that It wiil
afford employment for the great num-
ber of soldiers that have and will yet
return from the army. It is not meant
that this Is provided only for the sol-
diers and they only will be allowed
and expected to do the work, but will
open a new field of work that will b«
used as a shifting means while the
country is getting back to a peace

8enator Knie, who is one of the sen-
ators from this district was present
and made a short talk on just what was
being done In the legislature on the
food roads question. He emphasized
the fact that the people must get in-
terested and make known what they
wanted and what roads will be of the
greatest benefit to the county. He
further stated that It was his belief
that the roads that will be hard sur-
faced will be designed in the bill when
it Is passed,, and for this reason, the
people should get busy before the bill
has been passed and it Is too late 1
George Bishop, who Is always awake 1
and Intensely interested in moves
along this line and any that tends to
help the farmer, was present and made I
a few remarks. And stated that the
building of good roads was no expe-
riment at all. as some of the states
have for a number of years be*n ex-
pending large sums of money |n con-
structing hnrrf surface roads, and ia
every case the work haa proved suc -
cessful and has been continued and
enlarged upon. California has always
taken great Interest in this move and
this year has appropriated a large
■um of money to be used In increas-
ing their milage of hard surface roads. 1
Mr. Bishop stated that good roads
would possibly benefit the farmer
more than any jther Interest and that
the farmer should take an interest
In this move at this time.

warning against
•come tax haa been sounded by
the Internal Revenue Bureau, in a
statement received by Collector Hu-
L. Bolei, from Commissioner
Daniel C. Roper.
islness houses and Individual
taxpayers are being canvaaaed this
year by numerous so-called 'Income
Tax Experts, who offer to use their
magic wands of Income Tax wisdom
to relieve the busy taxpayer from all
worries about his tax responsibilities.
"I desire to make public announce-
ment, for the information of taxpay-
ers, that an investigation of the qual-
ifications of many of these 'experta'
will dlaclose the fact that very few
have had the training and experience
that would place them anywhere aear
the expert class.
"Some of them were formerly tem-
porary employees of the government
who are attempting to capitalize this
fact regardless of their personal know
ledge of the revenue laws and regu-
lations. Others are soliciting clients
on the strength of diplomas as In-
come Tax experts obtained after tak-
ing long-distance courses by means
of printed Instructions of doubtftil
value.
"Taxpayers should not allow them-
selves to be Imposed upon by strang-
ers who claim to be Income Tax ex-
perts. They should discriminate care-
fully between really heli.ful, author-
itative advice in tax matters, and the
Irresponsible brand peddled under
glittering prepenses.
"The Bureau is arranging to furnish
their clothes. They would give us the
best they had, but they are that way
about everything we want. They sure
think the American soldiers are about
the stuff. I don't think I have ever
told you about my Buddie, he is a pret
ty good kid, we have been together
ever since.we left Travis, and have
slept together eTery night when we
sie|>t at all since we landed on this
side so you see we know each other
pretty well and he sure was a good
soldier. When we were on the front
1 never saw Mm- **wk up on s-rthlng
MB* we get along flae except he Is a
Socialist He lives near Eufoula and
his name la Nunn. but he Is some boy.
There Is only four of us now in the
squad that came from Travis, the rest
of them got bumped off or went to the
hoepitnl sick or woanded and then we
got several replacements and they are
all gone but we four have stayed to-
gether the whole way through and
they are all good boys and when one
has anything the others are welcome
to It, whether we are there or not.
They aeem more like brothers than
anything elae. Andrion is one of them
he Is about 1-8 Indian but he Is al-
right. his home Is at Fairland. Okla.
and Hlggenbotham Is from Coleman.
Okla. We have lots of fun with him.
He is Just like an old maid, but he
sure Is a good boy. I don't know hard-
ly what we would do If they were to
separate us. I will have some pictures
made If I stay here much longer. Will
send-yon some of them. Well I must
close H rite soon to your loving son,
Roy.
P. S. Haven't gotten my Xmas box
yet, but guess It will come some time
The adjhurned October 1918 term of
the district court convenes here next
Monday. No Jury cases were tried In
the term in October on account of the
Fiu and the people were all very busy
with war work at that time.
Nine criminal cases will be tried.
The most interesting of the criminal
cases will possibly be the caaes
against Roy Griffith. H. E. Keenum.
and W. V. Gray all of whom are charg-
ed with manslaughter In the second
degree. These parties refused to fur-
nish medical aid to their family when
it was needed. They belong to a sect
that does not believe in giving medi-
cal aid. They all live near Rockv.
Another case that will be fought
pretty strong is the case against C. C.
Bishop, charged with grand larceny.
Bishop while working for C. H. Mur-
dock Dodge station here was caught
taking from the business a number of
valuable parts and accessories. He
was caught at Frederick with a num-
ber of these articles in his car, brought
back here and admitted taking the
stuff. A number of minor civil cases
are on the docket for trial, but a
number of these cases wlil be disposed
of readily.
County Attorney J. G. Springer, who
has his first experience as county at-
torney in this term, has been working
on the cases during the past week, and
is preparing to prosecute thoroughly
cash case, though every case was al-
ready filed before he came into office.
The term Is expected to last about
ten days.

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education has entered into a special
arrangement of co-operation with the
American Red Cross in connection
with the after-care of disabled soldiers
and sailors and their families. The
Federal board is charged by the laws
of June 28, 1918. with the vocational
training and replacement in Indus-
try of discharged disabled soldiers,
and with the general supervslon of
their re-establishment in civilian life.
It is believed that the comprehensive
program of the Government for the
assistance of such men can not be ap-
plied with the best results unless, dur-
ing his period of training and the
first trying weeks of work In the new
position, the man's mind Is relieved of
every occasion for concern about the
welfare of his family. In other words,
the morale of the disabled soldier or
sailor must be supported through the
Influence of his family during the
readjustment to civil life, Just as ef-
fectively as during the time of active
military service.
The Red Cross throughout the war
has conducted through its 4,000 local
home service sections and 60,000
trained volunteer workers a Nation-
wide effort to Insure the well-being of
every soldier's family by providing
timely and practical information help-
ing to procure Government allotments
and ei'cwances. furnishing any neces
sary medical or legal advice, giving
financial relief when needed, and in
general assisting in a neighborly, sym
pathetic manner in the solution of
every difficulty which might 1

and France Is unable to care for them

A few have responded. Most of
them have been children. From all
parts of the county have come the
dimes and nickels of children In the
schools, given by little folks who know
what It might mean to give their teth-

But hardly a start has been made to-
