I FOREST ROAD MUST BE VIEWED Filing of Petition and Bond Forces Court tc Follow Out Regular Procedure. PROJECT IS CERTAIN CARETS A VARIETY STORE WHERE YOU SAVE Remember you get Roger's Silverware free at Carr's Statement of Judge Qulne That Coun ty Hum No Funds With Which To Make Survey Will Not Holt Improvements. The county court has no other re course but to go ahead with the viewing and surveying ot the Rock Creek Forest iloundary road. Dis trict Attorney Neuner Informed the court today. Saturday County Judge Quino stated that the court had no money with which to pay viewers and surveyors as the action of the taxpayers league In cutting the bud get had eliminated the greater part of this fund. A petition and bond, however, with H. T. Ulakely as principal and A. J. Lllburn and A. C. Marsters as surety has been filed with the court. This makes It Imperative that the court go ahead and have the road viewed and surveyed and after this Is done there Is little doubt but that the project will be adopted, f he law provides that where petition accompanied by a bond is tiled the court must have the de sired road viewed and surveyed. If the route proves Impractical then the bondsmen pay the cost of the view. lng and surveying but if the route is adopted as a project the cost Is borne by the county. Even though the funds for vlew: lng and surveying are low the court must abide by the regular procedure, the district attorney states. The viewers and surveyors will probably be on the Job for a week or more and the cost to the county will be quite heavy. Because of the small amount left in the fund for viewing It Is possible (hat the court will rut the amount paid the viewers and adopt a new schedule for this class of work. .

When hunting was the chief occupa tion of man the skjus ot animals were the enrllcst means ot currency, and this medium of exchange Is still used by the North American Indians. Leather munoy was the natural suc cessor to skins, and was used freely In Koiue and Curtilage, as well as being clrculutvd In HuhsIu as lute as the reign of I'eter the Great. As civilization advanced sheep and cuttle came to be regarded as the most negotiable form of wealth, and many of our words In common use aro historic reminders of the fact. For example, "pecuniary" reminds us of the Latin "pecunln," meaning money, and "pecus," signifying cattlo; whereas the word "fee," a sum of money paid as wages, Is derived from the Saxon "fcoh," a word used to ex press both cattlo uud money. By an old Herman code of laws sheep and cattle were counted by the head, and were called "capltalo," showing the source of our commercial word, "capital," for wealth, the law term "chattel" (in "goods and chat tels"), for effects, and our common name for oxen "cattle." At the present time oxen form the principal wealth and circulating medi um among the Zulus and Kaffirs. Laboratory for Tribal Study.
