BONDS OR NO BONDS
a nmnosition to bond the coun
4- n. nffoient amount to com
plete the trunk road and build
mads will probably be
tubmited to the voters in the near
future. The maximum uuouni
which may be authorized at this
time is $0,000.00. If authoma
lion is voted, only such part of the
total will be p'aced on the market
. ... time as mas be repuired to
match amounts expended by the !
utate or to cover actual construe
tion on market roads.The total
estimated repuiremenU for the
completion ot trunk highway is
belween $75,000.00 and $100,000.
, 00. This will leave above $4000,
000.00 available for matketroads.
UP AND DOWN
Wheat goes up and wheat goes
jn..nn when the farmers have
-nr. nr need some and down when
the harlest Is on. The city market
nnltiefil eroo interpreters ai
the prosperity of the
farmer when the wheat he has
old for a $1.00 raises to $2.10 on
the bowd of trabe. But the farm
era will get even before lonK-just
watch their smoke.

Shortly after undown ilia ap

Finally the fire died down and the

A big canoe swept out Into the
stream and from the swivel gun
