OUR REPLY.

We are glad our "farmer friend"
brought up this subject, for we
think we have the solution to the
inquiry, in hand.
The proposition is to issue
100000 bonds the first year and
build 40 or so miles of pike. If
the proposition carries for pixies,
the commissioners will sell the
bonds in thirty. days notice which
will take it to June or perhaps
July before the work is in full
operation this year. The pre-
sent board of commissioners are
H. H. West, prominent farmer of
Washington township, j. w.
Strentz, builder and contractor of
Logan, and Lewis Kleinsmith, re-
tired stone m ason of Logan
We can say, without fear of
contradiction, that there are not
three more honorable, more honest
or more capable men in Hooking
county. They will appoint three
road-conmissioners, who together
with the engineer whom they hire,
will locate roads and lay plans and
survey for same. Our county
commissioners have given positive

An Important Inquiry.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
/ have been reading your pike
propositions with interest; consi-
der them first class SO far. Now
here is another ''pike" problem
for you to solve through the
columns of your excellent paper.
We have been told that county,
not thousand miles from ours,
issued bonds for piking, and the
Commissioners and Engineers got
62% of the peoples money for
their service. Now we don't want
it after that fashion. Can you
assure US that this will not be our
lot. My little speech is not for
publication. 1 know that I am
not able to handle the subject. l
also know that you are, and will be
pleased to see you give it good
airing. We know lots of people
who are in favor Of bonding the
to build roads, but they are not
in favor of bonding to fill the
pockets of few individuals.
Wishing success to the DEMoC RAT
l remain your old time

sand to build pixies. Who have
the teams, the mustle, the sand
and gravel? The farmers. There
is not farmer in the county but
what can have the opportunity of
placing on the work his teams and
his labor, and to sell his gravel
and sand for the grades. A farm
er of Fayette county of our
knowledge, got 800 90 in two
summers for his teams and drivers
and the sand and gravel he sold
the county on the construction of
pixies in the vicinity of his farm.
He said that he paid $500 extra
on his tax each year for 90 years
or 10000. He had the roads and
was 100000 ahead. He would
have to live 140 years to pay out
what he received from the county.
He said that every farmer along
the line made money, and the COM
missioners put all the teams on
they could get.
There is an abundance of gravel
and sand along the main roads in
Hooking, and it is reasonable that
commissioners will buy that which
is nearest the proposed work.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-03-26

assurance that these Road-com-
missioners. will be appointed by
recommendations of the people.
They will carefully select three
men from different parts of the
county on this board; the choice
of the people of the differ
ent Localities. There is then no
doubt that the Board of Road
Commissioners will be of the best
men of our county.
These Road d-Commissioner and
engineer will get fixed salary per
day for each days service per-
formed, and it is an experienced
fact in other counties, that a
board of Road-commissioners and
engineer can oversee the construc-
tion of so miles of pike at a time
as we'll as 20 miles. That sis
good argument in favor of issuing
bonds and build much at time.
We will save thousand of dollars
salaries by pushing the work in
large proportions.
In September next Mr.. Klein
smith retires and Fred Weymuel-
ler goes into the board of COM
missioners, and where is there
more honorable, honest man in the
world than Fred Weymueller.
This will make the board com
posed of two farmers and one con-
tractor, and both political parties
represented. Could the farmers
of Hooking county be better re-
presented in the building of these
pixies, with the strong probability
of farmers composing the board
of Road Commissioners?
If ever there was public work
practically in the hands of the
people themselves, it will be the
building of pixies in Hooking
county. The people will
know every move and every ex-
penditure, through their neigh
Dor, who is ON the board and in
whom they have the utmost con-
fidence.
Believe not eaoh singing bird
about robbers. The old detective
rule in cities is that the man that
yells, "Look out for pick-pockets,"
is the man they watch. Some
persons in this county are opposed
to pixies for Personal REASONS,
because pixies woulo give compe-
tition for their products in the
and they are starting all
kinds of stories to athwart the adj
vancement Of our county.
Now, another thing as to who
gets the bulk of the pike money.
1t takes teams and graders ssd
wagons and men and gravel and
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-03-26

the farmers to get to town with
their heavy loads, and that makes
com petition for Charley Wright,
and his prices come down. Don't
you see, Mr.. Hill Farmer? Don't
you catch on to why Charley
Wright is so anxious that there
will be no pixies? He has you
barred IN the winter time by the
mud, and he wants to keep you
barred.
A prominent farmer west of
Logan few miles, who is also
against pixies, admitted to US that
to build pixies would give the
other farmers n chance to bring
in their produce to the markets
and compete with him, and of
course he opposed that.
The pixies are to be built for
you, Mr.. Hill Farmer, and it is
time you were getting your eyes
open to the fact that you are OPP
posing yourselves in favor of the
farm-product monopolies near
Logan. Show them by your
vote that you are on to their job,
and you will make way to get
your products to market when
prices are the highest. Vote for
pixies and dry up the mud wall
that bars you from the markets.

Only the weak need a tonic People are

One Of the obscure causes Of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh inaames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous. This discharge Of mucous is the
same as the loss Of blood, 1t produces
weakness.

The formation Of liquid drops has
been investigated by NM. Leduc and
Sacerdote, and the result published in
Complies Rendus. This is an expert
mental investigation Of the relationship
between the radius Of the tube and the
weight Of the drop emitted. 1t Is found
that Tates law, viz, for the same
liquid the weight of the drop Is pro
portlonal to the radius Of the orifce, is
satisfied for radii from 0.5 to 1,5 cent?
metres, but that It becomes less and
less true as this range is departed from,
on either side. For orifces greater
than two centlmetres the weight of the
drop Is practically constant. Tate'sI
law is theoretically derived from the
supposltion that the surface tension Isl
the only molecular force acting; but 1T
Is pointed out that cohesion plays a.
large part in the phenomenon. {
