Tha County Road Dispute. Kent county has n o w comple ted
its county h i g h w a y sys tem. T h e eighty-live miles of t r u n k a n d non-t r u n k l ine roads bui l t this year at a cost of $1,500,000 a r e the linal connec t ing l inks in a g roup of m a i n a r te r ies wh ich should llii the coun-ty's needs in this r egard fo r years to come. Several other count ies a lso have completed the i r county sys tems ; and , w i t h Kent , a r e going on in the cons t ruc t ion of side roads only unde r the Covert act .
' i h e act ha s met wi th a good deal of opposi t ion f r o m the f a rmers . Some of them feel tiiat the feeder roads w h i c h go past the i r p rope r ly a re as m u c h to the benelit ot the coun ty as a who le as the h ighways picked f o r the m a i n a r te r ies by the r o a d commiss ion . With this idea in mind it is n o w o n d e r tha t they object to the i r en fo rced subjec t ion to the Covert regula t ions . But at bo t tom the dill 'erences lie f r o m a wrong concept ion of the s i tua t ion .
UnUer the Covert act p rope r ty holders on b o t h s ides of ttie road to be built or improved can by peti-tion of 00 per cent of the i r numbe i have the work done ; but they must puy a special assessment in addi-tion to (heir r egu la r t ownsh ip and county taxes. i bis assessment de-pends on the impor t ance of the t r i -butary as de te rmined by the county road commission. Sometimes the county pays 50 per cent , the town-ship :t5 per cent and the p r o p e r t y o w n e r s along the road 15 per cent pro ra ted, this being the special case of an impor tan t feeder high-way. F o r roads of lesser import -ance the sha re of the county dimin-ishes, in some cases only 15 or 20 per cent being gran ted .
The state, in bui lding its county system, had to choose the roads most s t raget ica l ly located to gather these feeders and ca r ry the tratlic through the cen te r . This was done scienti i ically. ( Irand Bapids, not Bockford or Lowell , was made the radia t ion poin t . Many fa rmers , depr ived of f ree roads because their location was not along these main h ighways , have been demand ing the placing of their roads on the sys tem. The road commission necessari ly came into coullicl with the t ownsh ip supervisors , who nat-ural ly pulled fo r their own locali-ties. T h e commission had to be r a the r a r b i t r a r y . A Vergennes s t re tch , for ins tance, was cut oi l on recons idera t ion a f t e r having been included in the system.
If the Vergennes f a r m e r s or any o the r s who feel that they need a bet ter road and wan to get it at the present t ime they can have recourse only to the Covert act. That act is 'the s tate provis ion which guaran-tees them help. Othe rwise the bui lding of the i r feeder roads would be up to them. The burden is taken f rom the p roper ty owners ' should-ers par t ly by a spreading of a per-centage over the townsh ip and par t -ly by county assis tance.
F r o m now on this measure , which provides a na tu ra l g rowth of feed-
ier h ighways wi thou t put t ing an e te rna l and sometimes unnecessary d ra in on the count ies , should come into increas ing popular i ty . T h e r e is no longer any ipiestion of a | c o u n -ty system as the county has ' more than done its pa r t ; on the o ther hand, the f a r m e r cannot build wi th-out aid. The Covert act appears the best possible middle path.— Press.
At The Ledger 's request M. B. McPherson, of Vergennes, p resents the fo l lowing brief r ep ly : Kditor Ledger:—
Tile only county road d i spu te is to set t le the quest ion w h e t h e r the Board of Supervisors o r the Coun-ty Boad Commission is to rule in Kent county .
T h e Board of Supervisors is the legislative body of the county , and represen ts the interes ts of the peo-ple more closely than any other body in our present form of gov-erii inent.
They k n o w when the bu rden of taxat ion lias become such a serious mat te r that it may menace the wel-f a re of ou r coun ty , H some relief is not oM'ered.
All Ihe coun ty taxes are voted by the superv isors , and yet over this ipiestion of Covert roads the road commission insis ts that they and the (10 per cent of the p roper ty own ers shall have all the say.
Tiie Board of Supervisors have no opt ion but to spread the taxes and add an addi t ional burden upon each and every lax p a y e r in Kent county.
T h e amount to be placed in the county budget this fall will exceed ij;100,000 fo r Covert roads.
It is the con ten t ion of near ly all the superv i so r s that Kent county sliouid get noon a pay-as-you-go policy f o r roads and stop the issu-ing of bonds bea r ing a high ra te of in teres t .
Th i s subject will be gone into ful ly at the October session so that each member of the Board may know w h e r e we are d r i f t i ng and Ihe publ ic will real ize that the Board of Superv i sors is p r a d i c a l l y a unit as was s h o w n in J u n e by the vote of 45 lo 2 to eease the con-s l rue l ion of Cover t roads.

^Vhenyou come right down to reason , what is there discount tires—
TH E next time a friend comes to you all excited about some
wonderful tire bargain—ask him
h o w much value he ought to get for each dollar of tire money.
It's astonishing that any car
owner today should not know all
the tire service he is entitled to.
Nor h o w to check up between the economy of par quality on
one h a n d — a n d big discounts, surplus stocks, discontinued lines and retreads on the other.
F o r t w o y e a r s U. S . T i r e
makers have been telling the
American people all about tires.
They have laid open the tire business from every angle.
T h e y have a lways led the fight for better tires.
T h e y have consist-
ently maintained quality first
standards with certain economy for the tire buyer.
T h e y h a v e e s t a b l i s h e d 92 Factory Branches all over the
country. Perfecting U. S. distri-
bution so that you get a fresh,
live tire every time you buy a U. S. Tire,
• • •
So when a man once decides on U. S. Tires he knows what he is getting in q u a l i t y — s e r v i c e -economy.
In support of his o w n judg-
ment he gets the pledged word
and reputat ion of the largest
and most successful tire concern m the world.
A sound reason for the fact

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or btaider trouble and never suspect it .
Women's complaints often prove to be noihinR else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-uition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
Vou may sufTer pain in the back, head-ache and loss of ambition.
I'oor health makes you nervous, irrita-ble and may be despondent; it makes any ono so.
Hut hundreds o f women claim that Dr. j Kilmer's Swamp-Uoot, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see wlur Swamp-Root, the prout kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will d > for them. By <iicIosin({ ten cents to Or. Kilmer i Co.. Binghamton, N. Y.. you may receive 'am-ple size bottle by Parcel Post. Vou can purchase medium and l a w size bottles at all drug stores.—Advertisement.

Close behind t h e l i t t e r walked Habe's f a t h e r , seeming old and broken wi th remorse fo r Ihe th ing he hail done . T h e grief of Hen Li t t le ford was touch-ing now, a n d D a l e w a s a Utile so r ry that he had spoken so b i t te r ly lo him.
They reached t h e H a l f w a y swi tch ten minutes be fo re Ihe arr ival of the fust mall. A shor t passenger t r a in w a s (HI the long siding, wa i t ing f o r t h e south bound to pass , Dale gave his end of the i l l l e r t o Caleb Moreland, and s t rode up to t h e locomotive. T h e engineer sat quiet ly smoking In h is cab.
Dale wan ted Hie f a s t mall s lopped, and gave ids reasons .
T h e engineer smoked nnd consid* lered. It was agtiiiiHt rules. Dale swore a t rules. T h e engineer said he would see Ihe conductor . H e did, nnd the conductor s tepped lo Hie ground and began to consider,
"Hel te r put her on my triiln," he said Hnaily, "and l a k e her to Har ton ' s s ta t ion . T h e r e ' s u good doc tor a t Hur-ton 's—"
"Hut th i s is a c a s e f o r a Htirgeon!" Impat ient ly In t e r rup ted Hill Dale,
They disagreed. T h e old t r a i n m a n w a s a close f r i end of the doctor nt Har ton ' s s ta t ion . What wad the dlf* f e r ence between a doctor and u sur-geon, anyway T
Dale became angry . "You'll s lop the f a s t mull for us."
he snapped, "or we'll l ake your <1—d red Hag and hold he r up long enough to p u t Ihe girl aboard , and you've got only half a second to decide wh ich ! "
T h o conductor w a s obdura te . T h e moun ta in men were too hot-headed t o bea r wi th him longer. T h e posi t ions of u doxen rilles unde rwen t a sudden change. T h e conductor immediate ly went pa le a n d ment ioned the law— but h e ag reed to s t o p Ihe southbound,
Aa h e ordered h i s Hagman up t h e t racks , t h e sound of the fus t t r a in ' s wh i s t l e c a m e t o t h e i r ea r s .
T h e lifer came to a screeching h a l t wi th s p a r k s s t r e aming f rom Its wheels . Bill Dale anil J o h n Moreland passed the l i t t e r ami i ts bu rden Into t h e bag-gage car and fo l lowed It hast i ly , a n d Ben Li t t le ford cl imbed In a f t e r them. J o h n Moreland leaned out of the door-way nnd o rde red h i s son L u k e t o p a s s him his rllle, a n d Luke obeyed proinptly.
T h e r e w a s a shr iek f rom the whis t le , and t h e b r akes were r e l ea sed ; t h e t ra in began to g a t h e r monientiim. A baggageman approached John More-land and asked why the rllle. More-land half closed one keen grey e y e and pa t t ed the wa lnu t slock of b i s r epea te r .
"Oh, 1 Jest brought It along to b m ,
'a t everybody h n s a s t ra ight dea l , " h e d rawled—"go oo abou t yore business, mis te r . "
T h e b a g g a g e m a n wen t a b o u t h is business .
T h e conductor of the f a s t t r a i n wns very unl ike the conductor of t h e north-bound. When he had learned some-th ing of t h e c i rcumstances , h e Inslmi-oted tha t Dale had done exact ly t h e right Hilng. H e would see whe the r t he re w a s a doctor aboard .
Within Hve more minutes he re-turned in company wi th nn elderly man wear ing a pointed beard a n d nose glasses. |
"Doctor McKenzle," h e sa id polite-ly ; "Mr. "
"Dale ."
The two nodded, and the physician knelt beside Hie l i t ter , which bail been placed wi th Its ends on boxes to allow the cen te r lo swing t ree . He m a d e a s thorough an exaiulnat lon as w a s pos-sible unde r the condit ions, then a rose and stood looking down upon the young woman wi th something l ike ad-mirat ion in his sober , profess ional eyes.
" P e r f e c t physique," he said a s though to hituself. . . . " S h e will h a v e to undergo a n opera t ion ," h e told Dale . " T h e bone the re Is broken In slightly, mak ing a compress ion ; she will doubt less be unconscious uiitli t he p res su re is relieved. Hut she 1ms line c h a n c e s f o r a quick a n d en t i r e recov-ery, with a good surgeon on Hie Job. so there ' s not much ground for worry."
Dale w a s glad. T h e y were al l glad. Hen Li t t le ford lauglied nervously in i d s sudden joy. H e w e n t down to h is knees beside his daughte r , look u p one of he r l imp h a n d s and s t roked U in a way tha t was p i t i fu l .
When he arose he spoke cordial ly lo Moreland. Iiiit Moreland d idn ' t re-ply. l i e still looked UIMMI his old en-emy with contempt .
Doctor McKenzle was leaving the t ra in til Hie next town of Importance, and he would wire Doctor Hraciner to meet Hiem with an ambulance, i t Dale wished,
" i f you please," sa id Dale. They reached Hie city shortly before
inidniglit, and were promptly me t by the surgeon, Hraetner took cha rge of Hie pa t ien t , put her into ids ambu-lance a n d hu r r i ed iier to his p r iva t e hospi ta l . Hill Dale a n d the two clan ch i e f s followed In an automobile . T h e lillltiien had never be fo re seen an au-tomobi le ; bu t they asked no ques t ions a b o u t it, a n d t h e only word of com-ment was this, f rom J o h n More l and :
"1 don' l like the smell ." Every th ing bad been made ready for
Hie operat ion, and Habe received sur-gical aid wi thout delay.
T h e two mounta ineers and Dale waited in ano the r room. Dale had in-duced J o h n Moreland to unload Ids rllle, both chamber and magazine. Habe 's f a t h e r paced t h e tloor anxious-ly now and then, Moreland sa t like a stone, wi th bis empty rllle be tween his knees, a n d wa tched his old enemy queeriy.
I t seemed a long t ime be fo re Hrae-tner came to them and told Ihetii smil-ingly that il was all over and tha t the girl w a s then coming f r o m under the e f fec ts of the e ther . She would be all r ight soon, he was reasonably cer ta in . No, they'd be t t e r not see he r Just then. Hut p e r h a p s they could see h e r at some t ime d u r i n g t h e a f t e r n o o n of the following day .
Dale escor ted tils two companions to a modest hotel and then put them In a room l h a t had but one b e d ; hy t h u s th rowing them together In a s t r a n g e land, lie hoped to do some-th ing toward mak ing them f r i ends . Then Dale went lo nno the r room, un-dressed and went lo bed.
I t may b e noted, pa ren the t i ca l ly a s It were, that John Moreland and Ben Li t t leford quickly reached a wordless agreement no t to s leep together—they divided the pil lows a n d l inens evenly, t o r e the odd coverlet exac t ly In half , and slept on the Hoor,
When Dale went down to the lobby the following morning an alert-eyed young fellow sp rung f rom a cha i r and has tened u p to him.
"By George, Hobby!" Dale ex-d u l m e d , us they begun to shake hands , " H o w did you know 1 was here, any-way? Vour boasted riuse fo r news, e h ? "
"tJull ty," smiled McLuurln. " I got word # lus t n ight thu t a mounta in girl had been b rough t lo Hraemer 's , acci-dental ly shot , and 1 smelled a f e u d ; so 1 hu r r i ed o v e r to ge t the s tory .

So here 1 am, Itlil, a n d 1 wan t the s tory . I'll p lume It In, a n d then I 'll give you some news."
" T h e s tory mus tn ' t be published.

And 1 am of t h e opinion that t h e girl wouldn ' t like t h e publielty. SuppoNe you forget uli abou t It, Bobby.
If McLuurln was disappointed, he kept it well to himself .
"They suid she wus hnndsnme, n sort of pr imi t ive Venus," hu winked. "Is t he re u r o m a n c e connected, Hill?"
"Not yet," smiled Dale. "Bu t soon?" " W h o can te l l?" Dale shrugged u
liltle. "Tell m e the news." "All r ight ." McLuurln drew his
f r i end toward a pair of empty chulrs . "1 mar r i ed Pa t r ic ia Claver ing tho d a y be fo re yes terday . We—"
"Bully i Oo on." " W e were murr led In an automobile,

Dale laughed boyishly. McLuurln went o n :
"There ' s more news. Your f a the r has been t ry ing ba rd to And you. He sent a man to At lanta to look fo r you. H e told nie he'd give me a house ami lot If I'd una y o u — u n ( j j j j | U , r e W q s a l i t t le more of the highway robber in me, I'd call Ids b a n d ! "
"And mother—have you seen her? ' Dale mut te red .
"I 've seen her twice since Hie nenv-wedding."
"Did s h e have anyth ing to say about me? Tell me the whole t r u th . Hobby. I can t a k e It, old man. I'm big enough."
McLaurin f rowned . "Since you've asked me. Hill, your mother—I over-heard he r tel l ing your f a t h e r that she would never forgive you f o r the 'ut-ter ly shameless , d i sgracefu l scene ' you m a d e in church."
"I see," said Dale. He br ightened and went on, "As soon as 1 can get ni.\ two i r l ends down to Hie dining room. Hobby, you ' r e going with nie to f a the r . We're going to claim t b a t house and lot for you."
"I*or Pa t r ic ia ' s sake, I 've a tlitinder-ing big notion to t a k e you up," laughed McLaurin . " i o u r dad would neve? miss It."
"Tha t ' s I t—take me up fo r Pat ' s sake ," said Dale, rising. "You'd be foolish it you didn' t . Vou should be willing to do anyth ing , a lmost , im- I 'at . She 's a Jewel, Hobby."
Half an hour l a t e r they caught u pass ing c a r that soon carr ied them to a palace ol g ran i t e and s tone and cream-colored br ick—the home ot the old coal king, John K. Dale.
At the wide I rout ga t eway young Dale drew back.
"Hring l a t h e r out here," b e said In a low voice. "Prom what you told me. I guess mother wouldn't want me to come In. Hut you can litiii out about t h a i — "
He hoped his mother would want to s e e him. While she had never seemed to ca re lo r blm as o the r mothers earoo for their b o y s ; wiiile site hadn ' t been qu i t e so d e a r to him as she might have been—
"And if she wents to see me, Hi^bby, let me know."
McLaurin smiled a somewha l wor-ried smile, and went up lo the f ront door. A inonient l a t e r he w a s shown In. Vet a n o t h e r moment , und .lohn K. Dale, his llorld f ace beaming with gladness . Imsteiied oul to the ga teway . Young Dale was ins tan t ly touched by his l a i h e r s new al l i l t ide toward b l m ; then he remembered the long night of David Moreland 's people, and he st if-lened a l i t t le and drew back a pace.
"Vou've come homo to s lay, haven ' t you, Car lyle? ' ' said the older 111:111, and bis voice w a s tilled with pleading. "What you did is all r i gh t ; we'll never mention It again. You'll s t ay , won't you, Carlyle, my boy?"
"No," answered t h e son. a trl l le cold-ly In spi te of himself . "I 've spent all the Idle, useless yea r s I'll ever spend. I'm get t ing ready to develop the coal in David Moreland 's mounta in ."
"1 >a \ id—More land ' s—mounta in!" T h e re t i red coal m a g n a t e b rea lhed
the th ree words In a husky tone. Ho put for th a hand and rested it aga ins t one of the huge s tone ga tepos ts , a s though to s t eady himself , and some of the color went f rom bis face .
"You say David Moreland 's moun-tain, Car ly le?" Jerkily.
"Yes."
"And you—you learned a b o u t David More land?"
"Yes." Hill Dale folded bis a r m s and stood the re looking a t Ids f a t h e r with eyes that accused.
"You know who killed h im?" old Dale mut te red .

Making History. I NFANT MORTALITY in past ages has been something frightM, something
' almost beyond belief, and even today it occupies the time and the mind of leading physicians in all countries. The death rate among infants is being grad-ually reduced through new methods of hygiene, new preventatives and new reme-dies for infants. This reduction in the death rate has NOT been accomplished by adapting the precautions taken and remedies used by adults. Rather has it been to keep clear of the old methods, and choose after long research the precautions and remedies specifically applicable to infants.
This being so, is it necessary for us to caution mothers against trying to give her baby relief with a remedy that she would use for herself? Will she remember that Fletcher's Castoria is strictly a remedy for infants and children?

Of Course You Love Your Baby. You love i t because of its very helplessness, bccause i t can't tell
you what is the matter when i t feels bad. I t can only c ry and look to you for help. But the more you love baby, the more you want to help baby, the more you ought to realize what a wonderful remedy Fletcher's Castoria is. . I t has been used for babies' ailments for over thir ty years.
An experienced doctor discovered Fletcher's Castoria especially for babies' use. It is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Doctors who know what is safe and best for babies have only good to say of it.
Don't neglect your baby. Get a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria and Rive baby a few doses of it. See how the little one smiles at you as if trying to thank you for helping it. Soon you will learn to depend on Fletcher's Castoria, made just for Infants and Children, and of course you would not think of using anything for them that was not prepared especially for Infants and Children. So keep it in the house.
