To Remove Ink Stains From Fabrics.

ABOUT ROAD BUILDING.

new country. While Mason
Valley cannot be considered
new country, altogether, it is new
so far as any good roads are con-
cerned. There is probably no
place on the coast where good
roads would be of greater benefit
than in our valley, and there is
doubtless place where there are
poorer roads for the amount OF
money expended. A good road
between this place and the rail-
road station would be of incal-
culable value to this section, and
would enhance the value of every
acre of land in the valley twenty
FIVE per cent. Enough money has
been spent on this road in the
past fifteen years to have made of
it the best road in the State, but
the money has been thrown away,
and the road as it is to-day is not
as good as it was before any work
was done on it whatever. In the
Summer it is a dry and dusty trail,
full of chuckholes, and in the wet
season the road more resembles a
ditch than anything else. There
is right way and wrong way
to do all things, and it seems that
those who have had the super
vision of road work i'll this county
have invariably adopted the wrong
way. In the first place grade
should be established, next the
road should be turnpiked up to
the grade; then graveled its en-
tire width. 1t is true that this
work would cost some money, but
when the highway was completed
on these lines there would be but
little cost to keep it in repairs for
years to come. As it is, repairs
are made each year, at consider
able expense, and they last no
time at all. 1t would not be
necessary that the entire road be
completed at once. A piece of
road could be built this season and
another piece next season, and in
two or three years the road would
be completed, and everybody
would consider it thing of ever
lasting good to the country.
Another instance of poor road
building may be seen on the main
street of our town. No attention
has been paid to grade, drain
age, or, apparently anything else.
Probably over a thousand dollars
has been expended on this one
piece of road-less than half a
mile long-which is enough money
to have built splendid road on a
good grade, and made it thing
of beauty to the place instead of
an eyesore.
Still another instance of money
being thrown away in road build
ing may be seen to the south of
us, on the main road between
Yerington and the creamery.
Those who ordered this work con-
Guided that quartz was the proper
thing out of which to repair this
section of road, and this was a
wise conclusion, provided the
work of throwing up a turnpike
had previously been done. AS it
is this quartz is being dumped into
a ditch-the center of the road
which is anywhere from one foot
to four feet lower than either side
of the road. The county is the
owner of road machine for use
in just such cases as this. To
properly build this road this ma
chine should have been employed
and the road turnpiked, leaving
drainage ditch on each side.
Then the quartz put on top would
have made au excellent piece of

4 GEEAr AovAMESr IN nEEsAH.

4 GREAT AoyEMENT LN NEENAH.
 Neenah, Wisconsin. is a good place to start a great reform movement in, and we congratulate Neenah on the fact that such a movement has been started there. The Neenah board of health has issued an edict against kissing. and has asked that the custom be discontinued for the general good of the public. It is urged that the practice is dangerous in more ways than one. and that it is the direct cause of the spread of con- tagious diseases.
 It is undeniable that kissing is dan gerous in more ways than one. It all ways has been, and probably always will be. It is full of microbes, including the microbe of love. We have no doubt that many of the people of Neenah have been hurt by it, and the Neenah board Of health has undoubtedly had ample evidence that it is dangerous and harmful Of course IL IS more populdN than any dangerous practice ought to be, but human nature is human nature. People will drink rum, bet on the ! horses. buy stocks when they are high, etc. etc. So it is not surprising that they will also tempt fate by kissing, The Neenah board of health has shown true regard for the public good, and great zeal in seeking it. If the reform it proposes succeeds in Neenah the board will be well entitled to stick s feather in it's cap and call itself worthy of more power and more money. And when Neenah abandons kissing other places can feel able and willing to imi- ltate her
