aThe People Must Foot ths eiIIs."


A city of some 10000 inhabitants not
long ago decided to change its street
lighting from gas to electric and pro
posed building a municipal plant The
local electric company offered to pay
$500 toward the expense Of getting an
estimate by a first class expert, with
the proviso that 1t would supply lights
at a substantial reduction from the ex-
pert's estimate of what 1t would cost
the city to furnish its own lights. The
offer was rejected, one member Of the
council voicing the general sentiment
Of that body in these words:
"It doesn't make any difference what
the cost will be, the people want the
plant, and the people will have to foot
the bills"
Which of the parties to this offer was
working for the best interests Of the
city? When you answer don't blink the
fact that the self interest of the compa-
ny that wanted the contract was fully
balanced by the shOrtsighted self in
terest Of the councilmen who desired
reelection.

HIS SKIN NOW FINE
AND SMOOTH AS SILK

II wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years Of misery / passed with
my son. As an infant / noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger l put him under the care
Of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread TO four different parts
Of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. During
the day it would get rough and form
like scales. At night it would be
cracked, inhamed, and badly swollen,
with terrible burning and itching.
When / think Of his suffering, it nearly
breaks my heart. His screams could
be heard downstairs. The suffering
Of my son made me full of misery. /
had no ambition to work, to eat, nor
could 1 sleep.
lone doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening i saw an
article in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided TO give il trial.
Il tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when i
had used the first box of Ointment there
was a great improvement, and by the
time I'had used the second set of Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti-
cura Resolvent my child was cured. He
is now twelve years old, and his skin is
as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

COUNTYROAD WORKLNG

The road from Garfield to Custer, one
Of the most important roads in the county,
is simply awful. An attempt has been
made to work it but the man who did It
utterly failed in his attempt. Great
Fullies on the sides and heaps Of rock in
the middle. over which it is dangerous
for man or beast to travel is the kind Of
work that has been done. 1t is money
souandered and lost to the taxpayers
Road working and building is a science,
a trade, and man has to know how,
before he can be a successful road
worker. Piling great heaps Of rocks in
the middle of road without any regard
to drainage or smoothness is an old time
idea that don't work for any good. The
first thing to do is to get the water out
the way.gs The road led in such shape
that not drop of water that falls on It
will stand on the surface. The idea OF
filling up a hole with lot Of big rocks
and covering them over with dirt is no
good. II rocks are used they ought to
be crushed so they will pack hard and
solid to keep the water from standing on
the surface It's the water that creates
the trouble with all Of our roads. If the
taxpayers don't get better results for
their money they will cut the tax out and
we couldn't blame them.

Vorgeously draped in floral blankets.
The many expressions Of praise and en-
comiums that have been spoken and
written of Paul Barth, the late ex mayor
Of Louisville, would have no doubt, had he

to stand that which fell his lot just be-
fore he took his life. 1t is after hard
