Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other

look ahead and plan ahead so that when
favorable opportunity presents itself
he is ready to take advantage Of it. A
little forethought will also save much ex-
pense and valuable time. A prudent and
careful man will keep bottle of Cham

Look After the Bridges.

The board of county commissioners
have been repeatedly warned that it was
unwise to allow bridges to stand for
a number Of years after construction
without going over them and regulat-
ing the strain and tension. The matter
has been neglected until the bridge four
miles below town il in . dangerous
condition.
The bridges at White River and
Rangely should be carefully gone over
and frightened. By following this plan
for few years the strain is equalizsd
and the bridge lasts the usual time.
On the other hand If 1t is neglected
they are liable to 70 to rack at any time.
