A "GOODRICH ROAD," BROTHER

The road between this place and Rensselaer is about as bad as it can possibly be. Men, who under ordinary bad road conditions, are in the habit of driving that 13 miles in 30 minutes now have to take an hour to it, or wreck their cars. The Press when these road men started work on that particular section of road that the material they were putting on, because of the way it was applied,, would be worse than wasted. And it’s so. The road would have been far better by this time if it had been left alone. Covering up chuck holes with loose rock never did make a road and. never will and the exceeding dry weather of the past summer has done its share toward making the work a failure. 'Better had they built one or two miles this summer and BUILT it RIGHT than to have cov>ered the whole surface of 13 miles and made it all BAD—Remington Press. i tv. >

THE FARMERS’ CANDIDATE

Besides being a soldier of the world war, James Efruuett Scanlon has some other qualifications which ethtitle him to the respectful consideration of the people. He is not only one of the active corn farmers of Benton county, but he is an active member of the farmers’ bureau of that county and believes in the principle that the farmers - should organize to protect their interests in the legislature and elsewhere. Mr. Scanlon believes —and so expressed himself at Demotte last week —that all other occupations and trades are organizing for the protection of their own interests, and that the farmers should do likewise, and see to it that the proper representatives are elected in this* great agricultural state to safeguard the interests of the men who produce the gruin and cattle. I He is also an enemy of the board of trade and "bucket shop” industry and believes it takes thou-, sands of dollars out of the farmers' | pockets in gambling transactions. He favors stringent legislation to drive, all such enterprises out of our state,) and believes our laws are too lax in this respect. He also favors good | roads, but believes in cutting down the wasteful extravagance of our present highway commission. Mr. Scanlon is on the county ticket here and while you are voting look up his name.
