CREDIT WHERE OREDIT BELONGS.

Atchison at last has a Country club. It is particularly creditable and we have needed. something, persons who have not taken to the Country club idea and who regard Its activities as a waste of time, money and energy. "I can't afford to join the Country club," said a business man this morning. "I know some of those who are joining also can't afford it as they owe me." A Country club isn't a poor man's plaything but it is almost as essential to an up-and-going community as a modern hotel.

Golf has become the most popular athletic past time in the countrybaseball has been shoved into the background--and a city that hasn't grounds and a Country club isn't progressive. The business man who doesn't accept the advent of the Country club with good grace is not keeping up with the times. The times may not be everything they should be but Atchison must either do as other American cities are doing or drop back. There isn't a city of similar size in the United States that nas a more delightful Country club than has Atchison. There are two men who are deserving of more than ordinary praise and credit.

Wirt. Hetherington is the one man who "put over" the Country club. He worked out a financial plan that has proven to be a success and he has worked untiringly on the project for more than a year. If Wirt. Hetherington hadn't interested himself all of Bellevue farm would De in corn and wheat and Atchison probably would not have had a Country club within a decade.

To Will Thayer belongs a major part of the credit for the perfect grouping of the greens, ideal atrangement of the buildings and for the splendidly efficient manner in which artistic improvements were made. Mr. Thayer had personal charge of the improvements and his services were invaluable. He effected economies that saved for the Country club many thousands of dollars. Mr.

Hetherington and Mr. Thayer are modest and have requested The Globe to refrain from personal mention in praising the Country clun, But The Globe belleves good work is deserving of notice and recognition, and therefore it is placing credit where credit belongs. COOL ATTITUDE IN WARM WEATHER From Tuesday's Daily. A complaint has been filed against Leon Rule, a young farmer living north of Lancaster, charging that he threatened Jane Ipe, daughter of John Ipe, of the same neighborhood. She is seventeen years of age, and Rule is about 32.

"The first night he stayed in the Byram, we became pretty good frienda. I rather admired him. He looked daring enough to undertake almost anything.

He told me about his flights across the continent, daring exploits in South America, and his about, travels in some of the most unsettled parts of Europe.

The time came but my flying friend was not in sight.

He evaded me until evening. Finally I saw him. He told me that some unforeseen event, had taken place, which detained him little longer.

LIFE IS HELD LIGHTLY Public Officials Have No Concern Regarding The Good of The Public. From Monday's Daily. (BY PAUL CHALLISS.) Grading on the new AtchisonNortonville highway has started at the Atchison end, at the end of the concrete road.

The road as laid out, zig-zags in a southwesterly direction from Vickery's corner to a junction with the road at Parnell. Within this distance it makes gevan turns, crosses the Hotham farm along the east side of the railroads, crosses two Santa Fe tracks at Parnell store the Missouri Paelfic tracks Missouri Pafollows, Such a piece road engineer- at acrostupha ing would be hard to match. With established roads every half mile, in both directions, in this locality, only a desire to continue war time extravagance and a heap more taxes on an already over-burdened com- to munity will explain why a new road to is laid out across private property. No party of sane judgment would advocate making a new railroad es crossing, on is such an a already public established highway, to crossing, of a single track instead of two tracks, less than a quarter of a mile away. The section of road in question, between Vickery's corner and aPrnell would draw no traffic from the north and would benefit only one or two on the west, and either of these could reach the new road within a half mile, in case it is changed to the proper location.

On the other hand if the change is not made it deprives hundreds of residents living on the south of any use of this piece of road whatever. For more than a year efforts have this the road changed, runbeen to have the location of made, ning it straight south from Vickery's corner one mile, to the Cullinan corner, then due west to join the road at Parnell. In the entire length of the road of about fifteen miles, as now laid put, there are twelve turns. The proposed change eliminates six of them within two and one-half miles, and that alone is reason enough for making The highway law calls for an avoidance 0g turns in the road whenever possible, and this is very easily possible. Inadvertently two of the turns in theoriginal plan fthe road may be dropped as the absurdity of the plan of making an extra and needless railroad crossing at Parnell became SO apparent to the State Highway Commussion that they have recommended continuing the road on through the Hotham place and cross the track where the taxpayers wished to do with a proper location of the road.

The stretch of road from Cullinan's corner to Parnell is fed by three roads from the south, the main one being the Curlew road which is drawan increasing amount of traffic from the Potter- Winchester sections. These people would be enabled by the change to use from one to two miles of the new road in traveling to land they from both constitute Atchison a very and consider- Parnell, able portion of the landowners who have to pay for this improvement. The road as wished by the Cullinan corner would be slightly more expensive to bring to grade, but when everything is considered it is the most economical one to build. This piece of road is to be widened and graded anyway. The zig-zag route to Parnell Is in good shape and does not need grading for a dirt road, and all expense necessary put it in shape for the pavement to, saved to the tax payers by using the othering route.

In addition to this the straight line is needlessly paralled for one half mile, and within one half miles, if pavement is aid on the zig-zag route. The diagonal through the Hotham place is a few rods shorter than if all square turns are made, but the 089 of establishing a new road on new ground and half of it through a swamp will only be apparent to the passive taxpay when the bills come in. And after all the improvement of the straight line must be paid for also. Any statement that a change in the location of the road would lose Federal appropriation is all propaganda. The State Highwy Commisglon favors the change in the road.

Practically all public officials connected with the bullding of the road, directly or indirectly, agree that the road should have been laid out on the straight line in the first place. A good and sufficient petition asking for the change was presented to the County Commissioners, but It so Juggled by interested parties as to was be rendered inert. So long as such methods are rampant It means "the public con damned." The State Highway Commission has put this matter squarely up to the County Commiskioners, and there is but one answer as to why the change is not madepolitics. By prompt and concerted action this common sense change in the road can still be made. What are you going to do about it? B.

E. Muns, of Highland, was In Atchison Monday and pointed with pride to the tourists' camp at Highland. The park in the heart of Highland has been turned over to motoring tourists, and has been thoroughly equipped for their convenience.

Every night from five to fifteen outfits of motorists put up there, and they buy a lot of provisons from Highland grocers.

SMART ALECKS ARE THICK He Says Life Lines Should Be Stretched Out In Deep Water and Live Savers Employed. From Monday's Daily. "More human lives will be lost at Bean lake unless bathing regulations are adopted and professional life savers are employed. It is a wonder more persons are not drowned. A deplorabe condition exists and something shoud be done about it." This was the warning sounded in Atchison this by Frank Dougherty, of Mr.

"There were many narrow escapes Bean lake yesterday," Mr. Dougherty declared to a Globe reporter, "and I am surprised that a half a dozen or more persons were not drowned. Fool bathers and parents who do not watch their children are blame, Something must be done make the lake fool proof or the casuality list will mount upwards.

"There are deligtful bathing beachat the lake. They are smooth and sandy and gradually slope off inthe deep water. As soon as the average vacationist learns to paddle around he or she thinks it is necessary to swim the lake or to get out into deep water. "I know of four persons who heard the rustle of angel's wings day, but who were saved. Leonard Myers, who owns a motor boat, saw two youngsters splashing up water in the middle of the lake.

He ran out in his boat and pulled them in. These boys, who were about 10 years of age, had paddled to the center the lake while holding onto an inflated inner tube. The tube got away from them or collapsed and they were helpless when Myers saw them. If It had not been for him they would have drowned. Their parents probably were standing on it was cute that courthe bank and probably, thought they, age to swim out water over their the heads.

Some one hollered that a man had been drowned and they became panic-stricken. They gulped down some water and (were thrashing about in great style, so Ora tells me, when he rescued them.

It is getting SO that Missourians living about the lake are pulling out more bathers than they do fish. "It occurs to me that Bean lake more than her quota of smartalecks. A favorite pastime is for bather to row out into the deep water and then to turn over boat. They will then begin to scream and persons along the shore wil row out to their rescue only to be greeted with horse laughs from the smartalecks clinging to the -turned boat. It has become so we don't much attention to shrieks at Bean lake.

STILL IN LOVE WITH KANSAS George Remsburg writes from Porterville, California, on July 22: "Just bought a watermelon from J.

B. McNabb, formerly of Atchison. Mr. McNabb lives on a fruit ranch near Porterville and is doing well, although he acknowledges that Kansas 1s the best place to make money and the greatest state in the Union. He is a cooper by trade, and was formerly employed by Louis Weinman, of Atchison, whom he thinks is one of the finest fellows on earth.

He 1s loud in his praises of Atchison and Atchison people.

There are several "spice" publications in New York City. Probably the cleverest of them is, "The Tatler," which many New York readers say is even better than "Life." Its specialty 1s Broadway froth. "The Tatler" has a large circulation not only in the New York but all through The following are from "The The man looked toward the sun, The in the sky, Three maids passed in between, Wearing dresses of crepe de cheneThe man looked towards the sun And longed for another eye. Many a man who married to avoid the draft long since wished he had died for his country. Young ladies seldom get lumbago, but most of them have limb-ego.

Latterly the reformers have been after the eight-foot screen kiss. They claim that a three-foot kiss is long enough and that when a kiss is three feet and one inch in length it is against the peace and morality of the community. Nobody has ever measured the park bench kiss but some of them run to AL thousand feet. Dr. Kotsoff, a scientist, in an address before a philosophical society, recommended kissing as a stimulant to health.

He did not recommend Hisses, either, but regular old sockdologers. "Kissing between lovers or sweethearts," said Dr. Kotsoff, "sends forth etheral and hypnotic waves, traveling with great velocity and electrifying and rejuvenating every psychic, mental and physical cell structure of the body. a most potent agency for courage, goodcheer, optimism, hope, health and longevity." It is even proposed that squads of kissable young ladies be sent out to make the rounds and restore young men to perfect health by kissing them. Nowadays a man has to die to get his bier.

"All men are created equal but some are not equal to very much. A blue law agitator announces that if the girls wear their skirts any shorter this coming season, members of the Reform League will look the other way. Not being a member of that organization we shall continue to look the way we always did. We don't care how short the girls wear their skirts. We believe in minding our own business.
