Just a Paving Suggestion
The subject of more street pav-
ing will come up some day not
very far distant, and we might
jjst as well be thinking about it.
Now, before somebody vetoes the
motion—because of taxes, let's
figure just a little.
The streets can be provided
with paving at almost the same
cost of the upkeep of the present
dirt system. The engineers say
that the soil at Canadian is of
such quality that a dirt bed can
be i graded up and ! packed and
then a layer of sand is all that
is necessary for a be*d for paving
briCk. No concrete js necessary.
On; all streets outside of those
already paved the paving need
not cover the entire (width of the
street A width sufficient on
each side of the street for cars
to travel, say 12 feet wide, with
a park way in the middle of the
street would take pare of the
traffic, give paved streets and
answer every purposfe for a hun-
dred years to come.*-—■—•—■——
All the cost to each property
o^her would be paying for a
tjSelve-foot width of paving brick
"aid on a bed of sand, with the
treet properly graded.
Is it worth it? Would any
property owner, no matter how
Tiumble the building might be,
hesitate to pay such a small
sum to have his home on a paved
street. Think it over.
Got a Wallop a la Jack Dempsey
Brent Taylor had an experi-
ence Saturday afternoon which he
will not forget for some little
while, and swears he will not ha
any more "high explosives" on 1'
truck. He was bringing a ta
of carbonate gas to the ^'ite
Pharmacy for the sod^ j^nt&ift.
The day was exceptional!i(hot ^fid
the tank lay in thTv sun. Mr.
Taylor heard the gas escaping
and looked into the truck to dis„
cover the cause. The tanks are
equipt with a safety valve which
allows them to let off ga$ ..in-case'
there is too much. The, yalye_
opened just as Mr. Tayfof • stuck
bis head over the side of the i
truck, the, force of the gas hitting
him on the chin. His 'bat' was
thrown twenty feet awaytjanjl .he
looked around several minute?
before discovering his head was
still attached to his shoulders.

blow and brought the blood" quite
freely.-—Canyon News. \

Big Crowd Enjoys the
Fourth at Anvil Park
Lake; Fireworks Good
The Fourth was a quiet day for
Canadian. Our citizens celebrat-
ed in neigboring towns. The
Country Club furnished a picnic
ground for the owners. Anvil
Park Lake entertained a big
crowd all day. In fact some peo-
ple were out there before sunup
to enjoy a plunge in the waters.
By sundown there were more than
one hundred cars parked there
^hd the banks of the lake were
'%wded with folks. At eight
iljpck a generous display of fire-
"s entertained the crowd, and
^SftJfe cars strung out for home
theyr, made almost a white way

A MATTER of CHOICE
I dreamed I went to Heaven;
I was admitted there,
And beside a smiling cherubim
Strolled the pearly streets so fair.
I heard celestial music,
I heard the heavenly song
Fursf'ToTt'fi 'in' praise ancT'gTory
From that assembled throng.
Then we came into a garden
Fenced high with golden rails,
From whence there came a mur-
muring
Of discontented wails.
I said: "Oh, tell me, Angel,
Why those people so confined?
To find bondage here in heaven
Is amazing to my mind."
He twanged his harp and winked
at me,
Ard thus made good reply:
"Those people lived on the Texas

Before their time to die.
It is my sacred duty
To bind with guilded chain.

And never come back here again."

' ise. Pepifyyour business
Wanted: The Baby Given to a Stranger
CHICAGO.—Sometimes you chii read
between lines •in tlie ''Personal
column" of the classified advertising
section. Sometimes the story Is only
suggested—as in the ad that follows:
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS RE-
wnrd—to lady or persons knowing
lady who accepted baby girl at Sher-
idan rd. "L" station on Feb. 3, about
9 p. m. Baby was dressed In white
flannels, wrapped in cotton blanket,
pink wool ahnwl, and a lady's black
fur cloth cape made with vest front.
A brown suit case contained clothes.
Love came to Dolores working he-
JUad-iiec couuter to. a bin store and
trapped her. The girl Anally told a
newspaper about It
"I lovad him and I thought he loved
me: he swore to marry me," the said.
"He kissed me very tenderly the da'
my baby was born. He kissed my ring
finger and said lie would get the ring
very soon. And he told me not to
worry, that he would take care of
the baby until I was strong again.
He had kind friends who would treat
'our~BaFy well.' T was afraid to part
with my baby, but I trusted him.
"We went to the elevated station.
A woman was waiting there. I kissed
my baby good-by; and I haven't seen
her since. He gave me an address in
Belmont avenue. I could not find the
address. Then I knew I uad been
duped. I realized I didn't even know
where my baby's father lived, or that
the name ne had given me was his
real name. .
The reporter asked her questions.
Then he found the man, after a long
search. He and his wife live near
Hubbard Woods. He Is not rich, but
he Is able to pay the $'200 reward.
He admitted he had given the baby to
a stranger. _
His wife knows the story now—and
perhaps some day he can «ep his
promise to Dolores.

are- outj and some of thaxu- floated
away; -tot-the -sea.; -1 ; r.% -T:. • - ,
Our ro^ds are washed, and in
many: places: {mpa«sable,.-ap4. with
each succeeding rain -getting
worse. "
People are grumbiing; and cry-
irK: "Fix the roads! We can't
citir^WcFeeTw?*"-
■' 'Bat' at Thp-'sirmr ttme"they- say:
"Don't put the county in debt any
further. Don't vote any more
bonds. We don't want taxes any
higher!"
All such expressions we hear
continually, "But still we must
fix the road."
Hemphill County's Road and
Bridge Fund is overdrawn now,
until the commissioners dare not
go any farther; and if we should,
in violation of law, continue to is-
sue R. and B. warrants, nobody
wants to work for the county.
The banks can't handle such long
time paper, especially when they
don't know when it will be paid.
Tho indphtoHnoaa of the R. &
B. fund of $30,00() is drawing on
an average of better than 10 per
cent interest, ani all this must
be paid some tirfte, and the tax
payers of this county will have
to pay it. t
While we are waiting to catch
up, our roads arfe getting worse
all the time; eveny day that they
go as they are it will cost the
county that much more to fix
them. The incomie of the county
in this fund wilb not more than
take care of the regular upkeep
of our roads, and the condition
that we are now in is such that
unless there is some sourse from
which we can ge,t funds to pay
our past obligations, and take
care of our roads until our annual
revenue comes in, it simply means
ruin for our roads.
It is not good business sense
to let things go as they are.
Hemphill County is not heavily
taxed for roads. If you will take
the trouble to investigate other
counties around us you will find
that one of our adjoining counties
has many more road districts and
paying double, several times the
rate of tax we are.
A $50,000 bond 'issue in Hemp-
hill County bonds issued at 6
per cent interest; payable in 30
years, issued to bjC paid serially
would cost us 8 cents on the
$100 valuation. 'Every man in
Hemphill County "owning $1000C
worth of property, taxation value
would pay only $8.00 each yeai
for better roads;? and most any
man would pay that much to be
pulled through, or out of, or
over some of the' roads we now
have. To say nothing as to what
they are going to be.
I know that this, is a hard time
to talk bond issue' or an increase
of taxes, but I appeal to the judg-
ment of every one of you as cit-
izens of this Countv: WHAT
■ARE YOU GOING TO DO, with
the facts staring us in the face
the facts that we are going to
have to fix our roads. We can-
not let them go. The longer we
wait, the worse they become, and
the more it will cost to fix them.
To wait until times get better,
as some one says, means the ruin
of the roads, and is not wise nor
economical.
The proposed bond issue of
$50,000 increases, our indebted-
ness only $20,000, as we already
owe $30,000, which we would pay
off out of the bond issue. The
interest we are paying on the
$30,000 is as great as we will
nay on the whole1 of the bonds.
The debt we already have we
must pay soon. Oin the bonds we
would have 30 ye^rs in which to
pay them, but we would pay a
fractional part e*ch year, thus
gradually reducing our debt and
the tax levy.
ftie court is to
launch no more road projects
only take care of what we have.
We have passed an order that
hereafter each commissioner's
precinct shall spend its pro rata
of road tax in its own district.
Our plan is to employ a com-
retent road supervisor, who shall
have charge of all the roads in
the county. He is to have a
small payroll of capable men
under him, responsible to him.
£nd he in turn is responsible to
the court and can be discharged
any time he fails to make good.
We propose to adopt the bud-
get system, and we believe that
we can, if we can get out of debt,
and have enough funds-4o fi*-o r
roads, keep the roads up and
gradually improve them, unde«
this system, and take care of all
