MORROW COVSTY OFFICIAL PAPER
SENTIMENT A FACTOR.
A very singular combination of
confidence and perplexity prevails In
business circles. Confidence is gen
erally strong, partly because war has
bred a spirit of courage that animal
nearly all men. Difficulties that be
fore the war would have produced
depression and lower prices are now
faced with a determination to over
c .. -i a.l obstacles, whh is a veo
decisive factor in recuperation, says
the Clews Financial Review. Sen
timent is usually regarded as an
element that does not exist in bus
iness; yet it makes a vast difference,
whether fear or confidence is the
ruiiug spirit, and fortunately the
latter dominates opinion, not only in
the United States, but also in Great
Britain, the two leading industrial
powers of the world. So long as
U.i. .no nations possess the abiliiy
and the initiative to go ahead, as
they unquestionably do, there is nc
reason to fear that the war will have
anything approaching the depressing
efiocts once anticipated. It must be
remembered that the world is infi
ll; ,c ekseiw related than ever
before, and that the resources and re
cuperating powers of the chief na
tions were never so easy to marshal
as a unit in the work of regeneration
as at present. It is quite evident
therefore that there will be inter
national co-operation in the work of
reconstruction. The production of
rt ...eriais and the distribution
of finished products cannot be left to
haphazard and speculative designs;
but must be guided by temporary
government control, with a viow of
avoiding waste of concentrating
energy, of stimulating efficiency and
of restraining inflation or specula
tion by united economic methods.

ROADS FOR WAR AND ROADS
FOR PEACE
What better time than now to
inaugurate a widespread, vigorous
road program? From the county to
the nation, why should not the good
roads movement take a new and
practical Impulse?
We hope that when peace is made
it will be made on the basis to avoid
all future war, yet between the hope
and the realization, time at least in
tervenes; and no man can tell wheth
er or not the hope is to be realized
as a result of the pending peace conference.
In France and Belgium and Ger
many we have bean taught the value
of good reads in war. It is, perhaps
no exaggeration to say that for the
freedom of the world they saved the
day in Fiance. Ai we read the rec
ord of campaigns in that country,
we can but realize how essential the
good roads were to the ' marvelous
laow.uaiion of Freitf.li troops which
turned back from Paris the first
flood cf Hun invasion. The further
wd su.,uia analyze the practical con
duct oi French campaigns, the inure
would we be convinced that good
roadrj was one of tRe vital factors in
successful Frtsiich resistance to the
Hun.
Lut in peace more than in war
lies the argument for the construc
tion of the bc.it of road throughout
the country. As a matter of imme
diate coiibideration we come first to
the fjod of initii.si.nal shock absorp
tion iii gtuing down to the adjust
ment;; ,vhuh piace will bring about
We must provide for labor by the in
auguration of every public work, the
resul; of which will give assurance
of economic service in our further
industrial development. There Is no
puoii - woi'K we have in mind at this
time which mure effectually does this
than good roads.
The good roads problem is na
tional, state-wide and applicable to
eveiy country. The time is ripe
for congress, for state legislatures
slnd county governments to consider
it a::d not only consider it, but get
action on it at once. The time is
ripe when, through organized effort,
there shall be brought about the
fullest possible co-operation and co
ordination between federal, state and
county agencies of road building.
A comprehensive road program,
local, state and national, would fit
into our present need, and would lay
the foundation of activities of vital
service In the reconstruction work
that is before us as a people. Tel
egram. tt
IXIYK will lift the burden
Those who are really never happy
until they discover something to
worry about are Just now telling of
the woe to come when the millions
of men come back from war seeking
the places the women have taken.
Even a war of sexes that old
bogy that maiden aunts and grouchy
bachelors frpt over is seen looming.
Its black flas'of piracy in the offlng.
We doubt It. Maybe because wo
believe there are so many folks like
this couple we are going to tell you
about.
The man is a young successful
dentist.
He is just hitting his professional
stride, and his wife has furs, and a
coupe, and a nice bungalow.
Some years ago, when they mar
ried, he was just beginnlug his
college course.
She was a well paid saleswoman.
For four years after marriage she
kept on the job, and supported him
through his course.
Then she kept right on until he
had his office equipped and enough
patronage to provide a living.
Then she rested from her labors;
they had a baby; within a couple of
ears started to build their home
nest, and, as his success increased,
her leisure and comforts did too.
That is the natural, helpful course
that right thinking men and women
will choose when conditions are
favorable, and not one woman in
fifty will prefer the office, the factory,
the desk, or the clerkship if she can
have a home of her own, babies of
her own to cuddle, and a man who
loves her.
Woman's rights and feminism and
equality before the law, and at the
polls, and all the rest of it do not
Jiauge real human nature, and as
long as baby's soft fingers caressing
mother's cheek retain their heart
,,ull, so long will there be no real sex
problems to trouble us.
Or so we believe.

ADDS TO FARM PROFITS
From different sections of the
country come signs that the sheep
industry is coming back strong with
the renewed interest in wool and
mutton production.
Sheep are stop-gaps on the farm.
They are weed and waste devourers.
Practical, hard-headed farmers years
ago discovered that they could main
tain quite a flock of sheep on their
farms t with no apparent loss of sup
port of other lines of livestock.
The fall of the year is the proper
iiue to get into the business of grow
ing sheep. The beginner usually has
best success if he will get a few head
of good grade ewes, and a purebred
ram of the breed he favors. The
oreed to choose is less important
than the excellence of Individuals of
the breed. Better start with a few
ewes and grow into the business.
With good care sheep Increase
rapidly. In a few years a good bunch
of ewes can be grown from a small
start.
DOESN'T HE MAKE YOU TIRED?
The moody, morose, pessimistic
individual, who does little good for
himself or any one else. He con
tinually looks on the dark side of
life and can only see the worst of
everything. In his eyes nobody is
right. The churches are all going
to the bad; his neighbors are bad.
business men are badV-everybody
and everything is bad. This sort ot
a fellow usually lives all over the
country first at one place, then at
another and has little influence any-
where. Of course he soon tires out
with everybody and everybody geis
tiled of him. Eut regardless of such
there is still much good in the
world and it is a pretty good place to
live.
John D. itockefeiier, Jr., recently
outlined a plan for industrial har
mony in an address before the War
emergency and Reconstruction Con
ference at Atlantic City, no de
clared "the four parties to industry"
to be "capital, management, labor
and the community." lie asserted
also that capital and labor are par
tners, wjth common interests, and
not enemies, and lhat each should
j be adequately represented in making
for the welfare of each. He expressed
himself as profoundly" believing
that working and living conditions
"ought to have time, not alone for
food and sleep, but also for recrea
tion and the development of the
higher things of life." Coming from
a man of Mr. Rockefeller's intelli
gence and sincerety, these words
should have great weight in these
reconstruction times.
HOBO LIBERTY.
Large regions of the world todav
are trying to prove that man can be
fed and happy without Ideals, au-'
thority or reverence.
After said regions starve a while
and discover anew the truth of the
texth: "iiy the sweat of your brow
shall ye eat" their madness will take
the place of oratory and pillage.,
Russia, portions of Germany ana
various other sections are trying to
gain comfort and happiness without
paying. I
The American hobo came nearer
being contented without labor,
ideals, or acknowledged authority
than any other class ever did; and
yet the American tramp, In the last
analysis, was merely a dirty, vermiu
infested, half-fed parasite, existing
through the laxity of police, and
I upon the charity of the workers,
t who provided the "back door fiand
j outs," and the occasional dime
"mooched on the de main stem."
The unwashed dreamers will al
ways discover that comfort Is an
unnatural state for mankind.
That food, clothing, fires, houses,
fertile acres, . the invention ' and
luxuries of the race come through
effort, constant and well applied
effort.
The native state ot man la the
savage state; competing with the
boasts for his bones to gnaw, and his
skins to wrap himself in.
The nearer a man approaches the
state of Idleness, and hatred of all
authority bat his own desires, the
lower he sinks In the slough from
which his ancestors so tollfully
emerged, and the more ' uncomfor
table he becomes.
Productive labor Is the foundation
of all human happiness, and our
revolutionised world should no more
have a place for the red flag loafer,
than it should have for the dainty
idler supported by the interest on
the heaped-up stealings cf his an
cestors. The Puritan Jaw that those who
work not, eat not, should be a
fundamental constitutional precept
in every country under the sun.

Kidney Pills, for I have always
I found them just what they are rap
presented to be. When I get that

my back and notice my kidneys are
not - acting right, I get a box of
Doaji'8 Kidney Pills. After taking
them a few days, I feel as well as
ever."
