Highway Commissioners Find 1t Best to
Build Permanent Koadways.
In some localities the old WORKOUT
roads are patched up from year to
year and therefore are always in poor

pense to the town and constant irrita-
ton to travellers If the same amount

the highways all over the country would
be delight TO all.
1t never pays to patch up; it is always
cheaper to build permanently.
When the human system becomes run
down and enc feels tired, irritable and
lanQuid, when the blood, liver and
stomach become diseased and are strug-

NOVELTY WORKS CLOSED,
Plymouth to BE Deprived of Her Best
Factory.

/ Plymouth to BE Deprived of Her Best
Factory.
The Novelty works, otherwise known
as Plymouth Factory of the American
Bicycle company, Is closed down sn6 it
is likely that it will not resume. There
ls bare chance that it may, but there
are about 80 chances out of 100 that il
will not.
This plant has been sold by the
American Bicycle company to the
American Wood Rim company, and
Mr.. Lobdell, vice-president of the rim
company, is here attending to the de-
tails pursuant to the removal of stock
at this place to the other fact pries
owned by the company at Bradi ord, Pa,
and Marietta, Ohio.
Mr.. Edgerly, who has been managing
the works, was asked as to what
the company contemplated. In reply,
he stated that he had nothing to do
with the new management whatever,
to the plans of the new proprietors
There is bare chance, saws he, that this
plant will resume, though it seemed to
him that there was no certainty of its
doing so. He says he is positive that
the other two factories cannot, with
their present capacity, meet the de
nd uyhn FOL
rhe company will be Obliged to resume
at this factory or add to their factories
at the other places.
Don't you think they will exercise
better judgment from their own point
of view by increasing their facilities at
the other place than to keep the three
plants in operation, asked representa-
tive of the Independent.
Yes, says he, they could eliminate q
great expense by using but two fac
tories and l think that the chances are
that they will do so.
Mr.. Edgerly was satisfied that addi-
tions would necessarily need be made
at the other places should this factory
be kept idle.
Our people can draw their own con-
illusions from this interview relative to
the Novelty plant of this city.
George Thayer is inclined to view the
situation differently. He says that the
plant was always obliged to close down
at this season and he is certain that
when the business season opens up, the
company will be obliged to resume
here. Mr.. Thsyer did not express him
self as to the possibility of the other
factories capacities being increased
The president of the rim company
lives at Marietta, Ohio, and the vice
president at Bradford, Pa. 1t is easy
to understand that their interests are at
the other places.
All citizens regret the turn affairs
have taken, although it is no surprise to
those who have watched the operation
of the various trust organizations
throughout the country. Plymouth is
but one of many cities that have felt
the singing blows of the trust Let us
hope that this will at least serve as a
practical lesson TO our people on this
question.

The Republicans Of Somerset County are

Judge and Of Nelson Y. DUNCAN as Prosecutor
OF the Pleas. the terms Of both Of whom expire
this year. II - well known that Judge Bartine
desires a reappoiutment. but he Is Demo
