OUR ASSOCIATE MEMBERS.

Tho there is a widespread and gem
eral interest in Sunshine work there
are great many who can not give it
personal attention and yet would be
willing to contribute their mite to-
wards bringing "good cheer'' to
others. A.
To all these Sunshine offers the op-
portunity to become an associate mem
Der, with dues Of 81 year. Please
become an associate member and help
the good work along. The society has
no income whatever, except what is
given in voluntarily and tho much of
the work includes passing on clothing,
fruit, magazines and other articles Civ
en- to the society for others, money is
also absolutely necessary. For in
stance, Sunshine spent over SIP in Sep
TENDER for drayage, which included the
hauling of the articles given Sunshine
to the needy. families. Whenever
possible the recipients come to head
quarters for the things, but this can
not always be done and so every month
there is a bill for drayage. =
Often Sunshine has loaned money or
paid the rent for some sick woman,
and there are hundreds of ways to use
money. A-+.@@*

Studying State Roads.

The state geological survey is sys-
tematically studying the condition of
the roads of the state, together with
the methods used in building them and
keeping them in repair. 1t is taking up
this investigation for the purpose of
spreading as widely as possible the
knowledge Of how to build roads prop
erly and how to care for them in the
most economical and intelligent man
ner. Particular attention is being paid
to the common dirt roads, as it is evil
dent that most roads must be made of
the dirt found along the roadway for
many years to come, and therefore in
formation as to the cheapest and best
means of making such roads will be Of
greatest value. Letters enclosing list
of questions concerning the roads in
his township will be sent to each town
clerk in few days. 1t is important
that a complete set of data such as
these questions ask for should be in
the hands of the geological survey as
soon as possible. Any person interest
ed can then find where the best meth
DDS of road work in any county are be-
ing used, and any advice the survey
may be asked for will be based on a
complete knowledge of conditions
which would be difficult to obtain in
any other manner.

SENTENCED TO JAIL.
Ice Dealers at Toledo, Ohio, Convic-
ted of Combination and get
Heavy Sentences.

Toledo, o., June 26.-In the common
pleas court Judge Kinkade imposed
the maximum sentence of SIS, 900 fine
and one year in the workhouse on five
ice men guilty of conspiracy in the re-
straint of trade.
Inc men sentenced are Joseph A,
Miller. who was convicted; B. A. Beard
Il. z. Lennon, HI. P. Breining and
Peter II. Waters, who pleaded guilty.
The judge said the sentences might be
mitigaied in the event the men made
restitution.
Hearing on the motions in arrest OF
judgement cannot be heard for some
time, and the ice men will stand COM
mitted until the fines are paid or the
sentence disposed of.
The five men, all of them prominent
in business and social circles, were
taken to the county Jail to await the
making out of the necessary papers to
commit them to the workhouse, unless
in the meantime they meet Judge Kin
kade's requirements of restitution.
These men were indicted under the
Valentine antitrust law for combining
to restrain trade Under the pretext
that the ice supply was much smaller
than in recent years, these dealers
combined and advanced the price from
so to 100 per cent. They were indicted
and one of them stood trial and was
convicted. The others entered pleas
of guilty.
The sentence is the maximum under
the law. If they would escape any
part of it they must pay back to Gus
toners all overcharges and must agree
to sell ice at the price prior to forming
the combination. The law provides
for Imprisonment as we'll as fine, and
if the men go to the workhouse they
will be put at hard labor. Two or
three of them are worth at least $780,
