The matter of good roads
has not had much attention of
late. But the issue is still here
and should never be lost to the
public eye. I have traveled
over some of the roads built in
this county last year, recently.
Where these roads have been
kept up—and that will be nec-
essary of any kind of a road
built—they have already saved
much to the traveling public.
Drive to Patroon if you will
and then as soon as you get
back drive to Tenaha and see
the difference. Drive to Joa-
quin and see the difference
when you get on the road that
Mr. Josh Taylor built there;
drive over the sand hill road
and see the difference as soon
as you get over the graded and
clay road. This should be
enough argument in favor of
most any kind of a tax to get
roads. The streets of Center
are in fine shape considering
that but little if any money has
been spent on their upkeep
since they were grade up in
1916. All these roads ‘men-
tioned gets rough after rains,
but where they have been drug
after the rain they have im-
proved instead of deterioated.
Keep the road question in mind
Mr. Citizen, for we should go
to work now and build good
roads for the boys when they
come home from the war.
Women Will Not Hav“
to Register to Vote.
Last week The Champion
carried an extended article
stating that the women of the
county would have to register
with the tax collector, in order
to avail themselves of the op-
portunity to vote in the coming
primary elections. This was
: the construction of the law by
laymen but the Attorney Gen-
eral of the State has announc-
ed a ruling that only those re-
siding in a town or city of 10,-
000 or more population are re-
quired to register.
This is important to take no-
tice of, since the former report
has been published. Other
statements in the article of last
week are held good, that is the
qualifications as to age etc.

“She was under treatment
several times and tried any
number of different medicines
but everything failed to help
her until she began on Tanlac.
She began picking up right off
When she began taking Tanlac
and her despondent feelings
soon disappeared. She has
such a big appetite now that
she can hardly get enough to
eat and her digestion is fine.
She has already gained eight
and a half pounds and says she
never felt better. She sleeps
good every night and does all
her work with ease and is
bright and cheerful all the
the time. I’m certainly grateful
for the happinesss Tanlac has
brought to my home by restor-
ing my wife’s health. I hon-
estly believe it will help any-
body.’

OF PROUDEST MEN IN
TEXAS HE SAYS.
“I’m Certainly Grateful for the
Happiness Tanlac Has
Brought to My Home.”
“I’m one of the proudest
men in Texas today and I just
want to tell the people it’s all
because of what this Tanlac
has done for my wife.,” said
W. D. Mitchell of 1808 Warren
Street, Dallas, Texas, a few
days ago.
“She had suffered so much
during the past year,’” he con-
tinued “with stomach trouble
that she had almost given up
hope. Her .appetite left her
entirely and what she did eat
would just stay in her stomach
and make gas and misery for
her. Her nerves went all to
pieces and she got so weak and
run-down she would have to
lie down and rest during the
day while trying to do her
work. S'
SURGEONS agree that in
cases of cuts, burns, bruises
and wounds, the first treatment
is most important. When an
efficient antiseptic is applied
promptly, there is no danger
of infection and the wound be-
gins to heal at once. For use
on man or beast, BOROZONE
is the ideal antiseptic and heal-
ing agent. Buy it now and be
ready for an emergency. Price

A brief editorial in The
Champion last week with re-
ference to the failure of home
co-operation of the business
men, causd some deal of com-
ment among the Center citizens
The item was not directed at
any person or firm but was a
matter that needed attention
called to. As was said in that
item Center is a good town,
just naturally a good location
and it has good business men
directing the various branches
of business. But we need
more home co-operation and
home loyalty. We need it
bad. The fellow that makes
his money here should invest it
here. The fellow who is in a
line of business should always
patronize a home industry
when it is possible. Other
towns do this. And it is as
it should be. The Champion
hopes to some day to be able to
print an item stating that ALL
CENTER CO-OPERATES TO
THE COMMON GOOD OF
THE TOWN. And then Cen-
ter will come into its own.

HEART TO HEART
WITH THE SUBSCRIBERS.
Since the suggestion two
weeks ago that those whose
time expires these months or
has already expired—those
wno are in the habit of paying
in the fall—settle the account
now, many have come in and
renewed and many have sent in
This is the right idea. If
The Champion is worth any-
thing at all it is worth paying
for promptly. Money is. as
plentiful now as it usually is in
the fall. The Champion is
carrying a great deal of read-
ing matter that is of vital im-
portance to the people. We
are making history in this
country now and the local pa-
per is putting the matter into
printed form.
But it is expensive to run a
newspaper now, be it a large
or small one. This expense in-
creases almost daily too. We
have been notified of another
advance in white print paper
—1 cent per pound, and when
it ist aken into consideration
that The Champion uses nearly
200 pounds each week regular,
and lots of times nearly 300
pounds, this item of increase is
one that counts up during the
year.
Our help must be paid prom-
ptly and an amount sufficient J
that they may live, and also
they are expected to buy Liber-
ty Bonds, War Saving Stamps '
and help the Red Cross, too.
The revenue of the business
comes from the subscription,
advertising and job printing.
The last named is a separate
part of the business from the
pape, but it takes the revenue
of all three to make it possible
for us to maintain a force suf-
ficient to issue the paper. We
carry considerable more read-
ing matter than we do adver-
tising and while the advertis-
ing is an asset to the reader,
there can be no complaint
about us devoting -too much
space for that item of income.
If makes it necessary now,
more than ever before, that we
have our pay for subscription
promptly.
As suggested in the last arti-
cle along this line, we are go-
ing to discontinue sending the
paper to those whose time has
expired, or who makes no ar-
rangements with us to carry
same, if it is to be carried.
Such small amount as may be
due we will post up and will
expect payment of same. The
printed label on the paper de-
notes the month and the year
of the expiration of the paper
and this additional trouble and
expense is provided in order
that the subscriber may know
when their time has expired.
Turn now and see about it and
if your time is out send in the
renewal at once. If not com-
ing to Center soon, send it by
mail or some one passing. The
name will be minted in the im-
mortal list and the date chang-
ed on the p 'per, which will be
sufficient r:eeipt.

streams hereabouts will be full

the people are too blooming
busy in Shelby county doing
things to help win the war, to
go fishing. It is very notice-
able that fishing parties are
few and far between.
The Shelby county crops are
now beginning to show what
they are going to do. The cool
nights up to now have kept the
vegetation from growing off
but with the warm nights and
the splendid season the next
few weeks will show a consid-
able improvement. The corn,
peanuts and other feed and
food acreage will be very
