How many of us keep all our words of kindness for strang ers, for those In whom we have not one spark of vital interest, and to the hearts dependent upon us for sympa thy and appreciation, have scarcely one cheory word."1 i Now, Mr. Editor, you have made a good start, and hope your next will read ns follows: "Of all places mon ey should be most .avishly used, It Is on the lateral roads fn the farming districts of Oregon, from where the town and city people got tholr mon ey. How many of us want to spend all our money and bond the farmers from which we get our living to build ight-seelng roads for the tour ists, for whom we have not one spark of vital interest, and to tho farmer, upon whom we depend for our living through times of peace and war, we have not one hltchrack for them to tie their teams while they spend their hard-earned mon ey; not a feed yard all fitted up with water, and tables from which they might eat their lunch; not a rest room,, where their families may go and wash the mud off that has ac cumulated on them traveling over he muddy roads to trade with us; and wo give the farmers a cheery word when we meet them at the Grange nails through the county once a year, and pat them on the back and say, 'I love you, farmers, but oh you sight-seeing roads and tourists. Now. Mr, City Man, you make your own laws and rules for the city, and wo fanners have to respect them. When you buy of us or sell to us you set tho price. Vou make the Inws because you out-number us nt the polls. Put we think we should have some say about bonding our farms to build a pleasure drive at a cost of from ten to eleven thousand dollars per mile, and wo farmers be content wltji a few streaks of gravel over tho county nt a. cost of only eight hundred dollars per milo. How much has Koseburg gained in popu lation since you have been advertis ing through the auto tourist camp irrounds? What protlt have the mer chants mane on the cheese, crackers and coffee they have sold the tour ists? Do you know that any bond Is sue is only a slight draft on tho boII, ami the soil pays it in the end? Did the people of Koseburg ask the tour ists to help pay rent and to furnish pipe to carry water to their camp grounds? If not why ask the farm ers to furnish posts and poles to nulhl a hitch ruck? Why not ask him to come in some day and spend Mr money and then build the hitch rack? I am quite btiro he would, do it, lor all tanners are very generous. Why arc you nsking the fnrmer to make every effort to ralsa more crops? Are you afraid you will starve In times of war? Can't you live on bonds without the farmer or are yon sorry for the soldier and want tne crops raised for hit use? 1 believe every farmer would ap preciate some of the praise, kind ness nnd cheery words yon spenk of n your aitiiie, and by helping un milld our roads you will prove that you like your home people better than strangers. , JACK DAWSON.

Evidently our annual celebration has attractions as Mr. Woodruff, states that the Rotary Club, Ad Club' Realty Board, Progressive Business Men's Club, East Side Business Men's Club, Transportation Club, Ho tel Greeters, City Club, Oregon Mo tor Association, Hotelmen s Associa tion, and the Greater Portland Asso ciation will be represented. There might be some contests stag ed between Portland's business men and some from San Francisco, as the chamber of commerce of the latter city Is considering sending a delega tion. From present indications May 19, will bring a large number of people here from several important cities and our residents must not be lacking in hospitality at the time. Merchants and general public ap prove the carnival hat selected by tlhs year's committee. Formerly car nival hats sold for $1.00, but thiB was considered too much- for an article solely for the carnival and placed the committee in competition with local dealers, as many buyers felt they had to continue wearing the cap through the summer. The present style sells at 25c and Is suitable for men, women and children. It is appropriate for the carnival and 1b intended for only tem porary use. The price is in accord with the intent of the committee to make the occasion a real carnival with the minimum of expense to par ticipants. There is also strong approval of the committee's course in furnishing decorations ' for the school parade. Heretofore considerable time of teachers and pupils consumed and occasionally some money above ap propriation made by the committee, uut this year the school work will be Interrupted very little If at all and while decorations may not be as elab orate In.detall the massed effect will be pleasing and there will be no rival ry between the several rooms. The form of decorations for each will be determined by some disinterested committee, probably, with regard for age, size, numbor, etc. If IN JOINT SESSION A joint meeting of the library committees was held last evening in the office of County. Superintendent brown, city Superintendent Hamlin, chairman of the general library com mittee, presided. In addition to the regular library committee there were present Robt.
