Gardner spent last week In Chicago, attending the National Good Roads Association which was 'attended by 21,000 people from all parts of the country. The meetings were held in the colliseum where 6ne of the national political parties held its meetings two years ago. All kinds of road machines were on display, to ' gether with all types of hard roads. I Mayor Gardner feels that he was greatly benefited by his trip and gained information that will be valuable to Shelby which is about to sperd IdOO,000 for hard surfaced streets. Over two million dollars worth of machinerywere sold each of the four days of the meeting. While there, Mayor Gardner had an interview with Chairman Page of the state highway commission who assured him that the Chaidotte-Ashe. vllle highway via Shelby was on the, program of roads to be built by the state and that he hoped work could be done on this stretch this summer Mrs. W.

She has, by Careful selection tor1 ten years, developed a winter-laying strain. As an evidence : of her success she has had 90 biddies hatched, in January and has lost only five of them.

We are going: to copy several para| graphs from it. Listen to this: "Every business man finds an inspector at his elbows, a federal sleuth at his heels. Houses are searched, homes outraged and the public highways dappled in the blood of unoffending citizens by a multitude of agents and inspectors Ignorant of and indifferent to the law of the land and the rights of the citizens."

We are, in fact, the most governed country in the world, and the ten dency is growing to be even more governed. Where the end is no one ; seems to have the slightest idea. Lis ten to this conclusion of the article in question: "The American peoplo are in the progress of being: governed to death as well as taxed to death, in order to support the armieB of officeholders who have undertaken to regulate them from the cradle to the ' grave. What makes a bad matter' immeasurably worse, they seem to j have lost all their capacity for resis- < tance to the ever-widening rule of bureaucracy." And it is all too true for the real American to contemplate without a feeling of sadness. This home of the free and the brave to be under the absolute control of this wet nursing process that is now in the ascendency.
