BETCHER I'LL KNOW DAD )
ALL RIGHT, SAYS WARREN
New York, April 7j Warren Persh-
ing, the 0-ycar-old son of Gen. John
J. Pershing, commander in chief of
American Expeditionary Forces, cut "a
caper in his stateroom on tho huge
steamer Leviathan today.
"Whoops! I'm going to sco Dadl"
said he. Sergeant Welz, who was de-
tailed to look after the little son of
the nrmy'a "big boss," and who will
be his stateroom bunkic, grinned.
Maybe it seemed queer to him to hear
anyone speak thus familiarly of Gen
Pershing,
"This is somo big boot," said "Licu-
tennnt" Pershing, upon the sleeves of
whose blue serge coat, cut in a mita-
tary fashion, wns officer's braid. For
all its size, the Lcvnlthnn, the largest
vessel afloat, apparently wns not so
big in the boy's estimation as "Dad,"
to whom he is speeding ns a member
of tho party to Secretory of War Ba-
ker. "The ship may roll nnd pitch like
n chip in a bath tub when she gets on
tho ocean nnd you may not feel like
eating nny meals for n dny or two.''
warned someone.
"Huh! I should worry! I'm going
to see Dad."
Secretary Bnkcr entered the state-
room in time to hear tho remark.
"It's it long time since Wnrrcn saw
his father," said Mr. Baker. I don't
know whether they'll know each other
or not," ho added with a smile.
"Lieutenant" Pershing grinned
"Betcher I'll know Dad, all-right,"
said he. And the boy who has boon
living at Lincoln, Neb., with his nunts,
Miss Mary Pershing and Mrs. D. M.
Butler, looks so much like "Dad" that
there can be no room to doubt his
fnther will know him at once.

On tho 11th day of March, 1019, tho Commissioners' Court in regular sea"?
slon took up for consideration thc question of the division of funds in the
event that tho bond election carried and passed and placed on record the fol-
lowing: "Resolved: That in order to allay any misapprehension as to tho dispo-
sition and application of the funds thnt arise by reason of tho proposed road
bond issue, in tho event some carries, we, tho Commissioners' Court of Will-
iamson County, Texas, here nnd now make tho following declaration:
(1) Taking into consideration tho bonds now outstanding nnd to be re-
funded, and thc amount of same, we proposo to distribute tho funds to each
County Commissioner's Precinct as follows:
Commissioner's Precinct No. 2 10.0 per cent
Commissioner's Precinct No. 1 29.7 per cent
Commissioner's Precinct No. 3 21.8 per cent
Commissioners Precinct No. 4 38.5 per cent
(2) We further propose to pro rate In each Commissioner's Precinct,
among tho two Justices' Precincts therein, tho funds upon a bnsls of tho rela-
tive taxablo values in Bald Justices' Precincts, taking into consideration tho
funds heretofore used from outstanding bonded road indebtedness of said pre
cincts, or nnypart thereof, provided, however, tho two sold Justices' Precincts
may prescribe, by agreement a different disposition than nbovc.
(3) Wo further proposo that, in tho event tho road bond election carries,
to appoint three recognized able' business men, from three several places in
each Commissioner's Prcccinct, whoso privilege nnd authority it shall bo to
act in an advisory cnpaclty to this court in the matters of contrncting for thc
supervision of thc building of thc roads nnd highwnys, employment of compe
tent engineers, if more thnn one should bo required, nnd in nil such other mat
ters as pertain to tho expenditure of said funds, nnd Its proper application."

We, thc undersigned committee appointed by the Williamson County Road
Association hereby represent to thc pcoplo of Williamson County that the
nbovo resolution has been placed on thc records of tho Commissioners' Court
nnd wc say most emphatically that if tho bond issue carries these resolutions
will bo carried out in every particulnr.
Wc forther say that the outstandlngbonds ngninst the Tnylor, Granger,
nnd Hutto precincts will bo paid out of tho funds coming to each of these pre-
cincts and tho pcoplo who do not livo in theso precincts will have no part of
those bonds to pay. In other words, thc outstanding bonds will bo charged to
ench of the precincts which owe them nnd then thoy will get tho bnlnnce of
thc money coming to them out of thc bond issue. For InBtonco Tnylor Com-
missioner's Precinct is entitled to 38.5 per cent of tho funds or $577,500. Tho

and will have no part qf thc outstanding bonds of tho Taylor road district to

Wc stand pledged to see that tho orders of thc Commlssioncrs'Court aro

FOURTEEN POINTS IN FAVOR OF THE ROAD BONDS
Economy in time. We can do our hauling and make our journeys much
'quicker on good roads than on bad ones
Protects vehicles and saves blacksmiths' bills.
PVnnnmv In hntiltnfr. Loads can be hauled ovcr good roads much
cheaper than on bad ones.
Saves horses. A bad pull over bad roads is bad for your horses.
Complete system of ronds. By bonding and building all ovor the coun-
ty at onco we will have roads that "go somowhero" and do Jiot end J
in tho mud.
Sale of bonds. County bonds can bo sold nt better price than precinct
bonds.
State and Federal aid.
Better schools, churches and Sunday schools. Our children con get to
schools and Sunday schools and wo can all got to churches on good
roads, while many aro deprived of that privilege in bad weather on bad
roads.
Permanent bridges and culverts With the money provided by n bond
issue good and lasting bridges and culverts mny bo provided jn tho place
of makeshifts we now have.
Saves tires. Good roads will make our tires, as well ns all parts of our
automobiles, buggies, wagons and other vehicles last longer.
Incrcaso in value of lands. Look at the advertisements and sco tho
diiTcrcnco in prices of forms on nnd near good roads compared with
those where roods nro bad.
Better markets. Wo can get to market at any time ovor good ronds
and market farm products.
Shorter roods. By building a complete system of good roads, arrange-
ments will be made to shorten tho roods and do away with sharp nnd
dangerous turns. '
Advertise thc County. Good roads arc attractive to tourists, land buy-
ers and travellers of nil kinds. Bad roads give a county a block-eye.
Nobody will say that good rouds aro not desirable something everybody
,! . A rnuntv without trood roads is a back numbor nnd its" citl enahip
is regarded with contemptuous pity by people of moro progressive and on-
lightened communities. Do wo want to Uo set flown, in me moss-oncn cmns

If wo wont good roods wo havo to pay for' them. No kind-hearted phil-
anthropist is going to do it for us. And tho only way to raise tho monoy is
u (..,(.,. iinn.l nnd lowim? a tax to pay them off. Good roads nro a pub-
He benefit and arc of valuo to overybod y. Therefore, everybody should holp

Denton County, with taxable values less than Williamson, is coming up
out of tho mud nnd sand, having voted a bond Issue of 81,600,000 by a major-
ity of 5 to 1. Hunt county likewise, with smaller taxablo values, has voted

Good" rouds nro valuable. Anything that is valuable costs money. Vote

Help voursolf and you will get holp from others. The Government of tho
United States is promoting the greatest good rood building movement ovor
