There are two elements that enter
into the investment in a road that
make it different in aspect from the
Investment in a house or other com
modity. One is the fact that the road
is a permanent investment. No coun
ty expects to get its money out of the
investment by selling. It becomes
fixed capitl of a peculiar kind. A
county cannot pick up its roads and
sell them. It can not sell them in
place; neither can it ordinarily use
them so as to obtain a cash income
from them or any form of cash return.
If the roads gtf to pieces, it is an abso
lute loss of fixed capital unrecoverable 1
in any way. Again, a road is a perish
able structure. It is exposed to all
sorts and conditions of weather, and
is subjected to heavy and rough treat
ment in its normal use. The result is
a constant and often rapid wear and.
deterioration. To meet this we must
be prepared to do such work as may
become necessary at a variable annual
charge.
Tribute of Respect.
Since we last assembled here at
school God has removed from our
midst and from the affair of this life
to the life beyond, E. W. Reed, for
many years the superintendent of
this school.
His death comes as a personal sor
row to each one of us and is felt as a
great loss to us and to the church.
His life was that of a faithful and
consistent christian, and his example
for righteousness will long be feltln
the community in which he lived.
Hig labors ended he has entered into
rest the rest promised to the chil
dren of God.
Bowing in submission to His will
whodoeth all things well. We join
in sympathy with the members of his
family, his brother and sister, and
children in their sad bereavement.

Announcement.
This is to announce that. I am a can
didate for the office of Clerk of the
Adair County Court, subject to the
action of the Democratic party at the
August Primary, 1917. Having be
come familiar with the duties of this
office by an experience of over two
years and also having bad considerable
business training and experience for
work of this character heretofore,
makes me feel justified in presenting
these claims to the voters of this
county for their consideration in mak
ing their selection of a candidate to
make this race If nominated and
elected, it shall be my endeavor to do
you gcod service in this capacity. If
you want me to bethe Clerk, it will
be a pleasure to hear of your speaking
right out in meetin' at the August
Primary to that effect and rest as
sured that your vote will be appreci
ated. Geo. J. Epperson
A Political Card.
To the Republicans voters of Adair
county I hereby announce myself a
candidate for School Superintendent
of Adair county, subject to the action
of the Republican voters"in the Au
gust primary. Having been a teacher
in the common schools for several
years, I realize that the hea'd of the
public school system of a county is the
most important officer elected by- it's
people. Since the welfare of the chil
dren of to-day as well as of those who
are to come after us, is dependent
largely upon the management of this
office. It should be filled by one who is
alive physically, mentally and morally
It is the belief that I can render effi
cient service, if elected, that impels
me to ask for this important position.
A man's fitness for the discharge of
public trust can be best judged, not
by his campaign promises, but by his
conduct in private life.
If as a citizen I have lived on the
square, and as a teacher have meas
ured up to the requirements, I am
justified in asking your support, but
if I have not done these things my
record will reveal it. I believe that
this office should as far as possible, be
removed from partisan politics, but at
the same time 1 believe that each man
should have a settled conviction, as
well as the courage to admit it and
the fidelity to stand by it. While I
will appreciate any support that I may
receive from the members of other
parties, yet I have no double natured
political qualities to describe in an at
tempt to catch such support. 1 would
have no man vote for me under the
belief that I am or have ever been any
tiling except a RepublicariMn belief as
well as practice, one whoj has helped
to fight the battles of his party,
grieved with its members in defeat
and rejoiced with them in victory.
My. name will be on the ballot in
the August primary, and if nominated
or defeated I will be found doing my
share in an effort to elect our nom
inees.

Yours Respectfully,

A Very Quiet Wedding.
So quiet did Miss Jennie Mat Jones,
of this place, and Mr. Robt. L. Weth
ington, of Clementsville, Casey coun
ty, keep their intentions, that but
few people in Columbia knew of their
marriage until several days after their
union.
The couple had been going together
for about two years, and it was gen
erally predicted that they would even
tually get married, and the prediction
came true last Saturday night week,
May 5th. The couple left the Jones
residence about 7 o'clock, saying they
were going to church. Instead they
came over on the square, got into a
waiting automobile, went to Camp
belisrille, and were married by Father
Murray, pastor of the Catholic Church
that city, returning to Columbia la
ter, and to the home of the bride
They are now at Gradyville -where
the groom is engaged in business, and
where they will remain for several
months. From Gradyville they will
come to this place, for a few month's
tay, and later will locate permanent
ly at Clementsville.
Thebrideisadaughterof Mr. a'nd'Mrs
J.'B. Jones, and is quite an attractive
young woman, who has many frienrls
The groom Js a popular and very in
dustrious .young man, who bears ac
quatntanceship, having a host of
lxiends in Adair county His father
died a few weeks ago, but hisbrothers
and sisters are living, fine people of
Casey county.
We trust that this union will prove
ftblessing to the contracting' parties
and that only happiness will come in
to their lives so long as both may live
Storming the German line3 East of
Arras alon a twelve mile front, Brit
ish troops have forced back, the Ger
mans at two important points and
have established themselves in Bulle
court, the scene of many desperate
struggles recently. Heavy losses were
inflicted on the Germans and more
than 700 prisoners were taken.
Without giving the armies of Crown
Prince Rupprecht time to recover af
ter the repulse of their ineffecnual
counter attacks, Field Marshal Haig
early Saturday threw his' forces
against three vital points in the line
protecting Douai and in each place
gained his objective. Atthe Southern
end of. the line was Bullecourt, ' pro
tecting Queant. Here thousands have
fallen in attacks and counter attacks
in the last two weeks." The battle
here lasted for many hours .during
which the British firmly placed them
selves in the village, but the fighting
still goes on.
Tiie way was cleared in Congress for
Col. Roosevelt, if he is given author
ization by 'the Administration, to
raise a division of volunteers for serv
ing in France. -
Reversing the previous action 'and
overriding the Conference Committee
on the Army Draft Bill, the House
voted 215 to 178 to empower the Pres
ident to extend authority for recruit
ing such a division. This sent the
Army Bill back to conference, but the
Senate already had adopted a similar
aw honzation .during original consld
erHun of the measure and its confer
ees are expected to agree quickly to jt
now.

Relative .Value of Food.
Editor News'.
In these times of high prices aud of
scarcity of provision, and with a pros
pect of more serious times ahead of
us, every garden and every farm
should be made to yield a little more
than they have ever yielded' before.
Now is the time to do the work that
will make this possible. With a larger
acreage and better cultivation, there
should be greater care in gathering
and preserving crops'
It is also important to raise the
crops that will give the best results in
food. The Government reports and
bulletins, which can be procured by
any one desiring them, give the anal
ysis of all the different kind! of food
used by m and their nutrative valile.
Permit us to give a few facts taken
from the table of food compositions
which may be of value to your read
ers. It gives the constituent el
ements that enter into our diet and it
shows the amount of these, water,
protein, fat, carbohydrates and ash, in
the different articles of food, vegeta
ble and animal, and also in the differ
ent cuts of meat as furnished by
butchers. A little examinrtion will
teach that the most costly cuts are not
always of most nutritive value.
Protein, fat and carbohydrates all
furnish energy or fuel for muscular ac
tion. Protein forms tissue (mnscular ten
don, and probably fat ) Fat forms
fatty tissue, and the carbohydrates
transformed into fat sugar, starcli
etc. The mineral matter (Ash) aids
in forming bone, and assists in diges
tion, etc.
The unit of the measure of energy
or fuel is the calorie A calorie is the
amount of heat which would raise a
pound of water 4 degrees F.
One pound of protein furnishes 1860
calories of energy, one pound of carbo
hydrates furnishes 1860 calories of en
ergy, one pound of fat furnishes 4220
calories of energy.
The American Dietary Standard for
a man at moderate work calls for 0.28
pound protein and 3,500 calories of en
ergy per day. '
Vegetables are in general terms car
bohydrates although they contain
sdme protein and fat.
Analysis shows that beef (hind
quarter) contains 15.3 per cent., pro
tein, 15.6 per cent., fat, and the fuel
value of a pound is 945 calories.
Fresh tenderloin pork contains 19 G
per cent., protein, 14.4 fat, and its fu
el value is 970 calories per pound.
Roller process flour contains 11.3 per
cent., protein, 2 2 fat, and its fuel val
ue is 1645 calories per pound.
Corn meal bolted contains 8.9 pro
tein, 1.8 fat, and its fuel value is 1665
calories per pound.
Dried beans contain 22.3 protein, 1.8
fat, and its fuel value is 1590 calories
per pound.
Cowpeas contain a small fraction
less of protein and fat, and are of the
same fuel value as dried beans.
It wjjl be seen from the foregoing
that dried beans and cowpeas are de
cidedly richer in protein, the muscle
making element of food, than either
beef or pork, and they furnish much
more energy or fuel than either of
them. In fact, the dried bean and
pea carry a higher per cent., of pro
tein than any ottier food.
What is the lesson of practical val
ue at this time that we get from the
above figures?
It is, in my judgment, that we
should not neglect to put in all the
navy beans, cowpeas and soy beans we
can conveniently with due regard to
other crops to be raised. It is not ex
pected or desired that they entirely
supercede a reasonable meat diet, but
they can supplement it, and to a large
extent supply us with a wholesome di
et to meet any shortage from that
source. They all yield good returns in
one soil and can be planted very safe
ly as late as the 10th of July.
In protein jalue, or for energy three
quarters of a pound of either of them
is about the equivalent of a pound of
meat In fact it we have these, and
some smoked bacon (which is 60.2 per
cent , fat,) cornbread, and biscuit oc
casionally, and vegetables, there need
be no occasion for alarm, or for any
body going-hungry in Adair county.
Our fathers lived and thrived on
similar diet in the early days. Why
cannot we do the same if it becomes
necessary? H. C. Baker.
