Do You Believe in Signs?

A mark. note, token or symptom,
indicates that by which anything
may be known. that is, we are fore
warned II evil is to befall us. or we
have the pleasure of anticipation IL
the signs betoken a fortunate occur
renee. Accidental occurrences all
have their signs, every disease has
its symptoms. The point is to heed
the former. and counteract the ef-
feet of the latter. Spells of sick
headache follow indigestion and
stomach disorders. belching, bilious
ness and dyspepsia are signs of sick
ness. People that believe in these
signs and know that they are true

CEMENT
CONTRACT !.
AWARDED
After Months of Delay Work
Will Begin on Floor of
North Salem School

After months of unnecessary de-
lay and anunusual amount of politi-
cal log-rolling, the contract for put.
ting a cement floor in the basement
of North Salem school was awarded
Saturday night to o. c. Kennon for
$555.75. Mr.. Kennon was the only
bidder and the board authorized him
to begin work at once and complete
the job as rapidly as possible.
The history of the cement floor in
this school house is long and anus
ing.
Several months ago. the board de-
cided that it was necessary to have
the work done and bids were ad-
vertised for. There were two bid
ders, Mr.. Kennon whose bid was ap-
proximately s575, and August Ker-
berger, who put in bid at so much
a square foot.
The matter was in the hands of
the committee on repairs of which
Director A. A. Lee is chairman. In
the meantime DR.. w. H. Byrd, chair
man of the board, had forgotten who
was on the committee and meeting
Director E. M. Croisan. said to him:
ED, 1 believe you are on the COM
mittee on repairs; If so, you had bet
ter see about that floor"
Mr.. Croisan went to Mr.. Lee. The
latter told the former he was not a
member of the committee but he
would consult with him anyway. Mr..
Croisan then privately awarded the
gentleman went to work and put in
about one-half of the floor before
the members of the board were
aware of 1t and could stop him.
Members of the board who say
they were willing to waive the irreg-
ularity of the contract, were very
much dissatisfied with the manner in
which Kerberger did the work. The
board held another meeting and or
dered Kerberger to take out his
work. This he failed to do. An
other meeting was held and an at
torney was secured to give legal ad-
vice. New bids were then advertised
for any only one received, that of
Mr.. Kennon on which he was award
ed the contract Saturday night.
The attorney for the board has ad-
vised that body to ignore the cement
that was placed in and where it is
useful for filling to allow it to re-
main and when it is in the way of
the new work to throw it out.
Director Croisan has not attended
a meeting of the board since Septem-
Der /. The law provides that If a

The bureau of labor and statistics
has completed an estimate of the
population of the state by counties
based on the census of 1900, the
state census of 1905 and a compara-
tive statement of these figures of the
school enrolment of these years with
the enrolment and attendance of
this year. This gives the total popu-
lation of the state as 504.649. The
population of Marion county Is esti-
mated at 2S,539. Multnomah is
placed at 14S,264. 1t is noticeable
that the city of Portland is claiming
more than $4,000 more people than

HOW NOT TO ADVERTISE

The farmers of northern Indiana
and southern Michigan have come to
realize that advertising signboards
mar the beauty of the country and
that the advertisers in placing them
ruin young trees and break their
fences: and they have effected an or
ganization to see that every sign is
removed from their premises and to
prosecute merchants who, in the fu-
ture, trespass on their property. The
advertising signboards in the country
everywhere is blemish and blot,
besides being one of the least profit
able and effective modes of advertis-
ing.-Boston Globe.

HOW TO FIND FISH BAIT

The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
SPOT, shady and low lying knoll, but
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes, not single worm had
his spade turned up.
Here, sonny" said the old angler,
take this chunk of soap and make
me quart or two of soapsuds"
The boy brought the suds. the old
man sprinkled them over the ground
and then he, in his turn, began to dig.

1t was amazing. Here, where the boy
before had not found a single worm
the old man now discovered them in
dozens
You can find worms most any
where, sonny" said the old man, IF
you wet the ground with soapsuds
first. The soapsuds draws them. the
same as molasses draws flies. A weak
mixture of blue vitrol and water will

A Quaint, Covered Structure Which
Spans River in New Hampshire

Spans River in New Hampshire
The Republican bridge in Franklin,
N H., is thought to be the oldest in
the state. 1t crosses the Penigewas-
set just before that river unites with
the Winnipiseogee river to form the
Merrimac. s=
In June, 1910, ten men petitioned
for a bridge over the Pemigewasset
"at Webster Falls, so called" A hear
ing was granted, and December 8,
1900 the senate and house passed an
act Incorporating the ten men under
the name of the "Proprietors of the
Republican Bridge" Toll gates were
embodied in the articles of incorpor-
alton and included one cent for foot
passengers, three cents for each horse
and rider, and ten cents for each
horse and chaise, sulky chair or other
riding carriage.
The contract for building the bridge
called for its completion December 1,
1902. at $4,000, and was awarded to
William Durgin. 1t was ready for
business October 4, 1902.
This bridge was partly washed away
by freshet in 1908, and was repaired
at a cost of $500. In 1922 winter
freshet again got in it's work and the
bridge was temporarily repaired at
a cost of S1740.
The proprietors voted in 1929 to
"allow the inhabitants within the lin
rs of the new town of Franklin to
pass toll free to and from all public

military trainings to and from public
worship on the Sabbath
The town of Franklin paid the pro
prietors $4,000 May 3, 1856, and the
bridge was made free.
