MAKING A BALLOON.
The Way 1t Is Patched, Vanished and
Powdered.

A balloon consists of patches of cloth
about a yard square sewed secure
ly together. This is not because Of
any difficulty in making the fabric Of
a globular shape, for that could easily
be done If the pieces were shaped like
the skin on the section of an apple.
The reason is that no absolutely re-
liable fabric has yet been invented,
and there is always the possibility OF
the balloon bursting. Should this hap
pen to one of these patches, the escape
of gas will not be dangerously rapid,
as it would be If larger sections were
used.
When the balloon is made 1t is care
fully vanished, three coats being Civ
en-, and each being allowed to dry
thoroughly before the next is applied.
If one coat is left moist the fabric
will be attacked by a species of dry
rot, which will make 1t as fragile as
the paper this is printed on. In the
early days of ballooning many fatal
accidents We're due to this defect, but
now the utmost care is exercised.
When a balloon Is packed up for a
journey, powdered chalk is sprinkled
between the folds, as otherwise they
would stick together and tear.-Pear-

Lady Assistant.

Two house martins built their nests
against an attic window of a farm, TO
which the birds had come for several
successive years. Last spring, how
ever before they arrived an enterpris-
ing sparrow took up her abode in one
of the nests. Shortly after this the
martins returned as usual and one day
the farm people noticed that the hole
OF the nest which the sparrow occupied
had been blocked up. Next morning d
boy climbed up TO ascertain the mean
ing, and not finding any outlet broke
away a part of the nest to find the
poor sparrow dead on her eggs. The
house martins had walled her up for
daring to take possession of their
house.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 22.-Aside from
the batteries no changes will be made
in the Detroit lineup next season.
Manager Jennings says he will stand
pat on the American League pennant
winners of this year. He had contem-
plated making change at first base,
but Claude Rossman displayed such
class during the worlds series and
the hard campaign that neither Char
lie Carr, Brown or any one else will
be given a chance to fill his brogans
at the first sack.
1t is the pitching staff that will
cause Hughey some worry. Four reg
ulars have done fine work, but he fig
ures that four is not enough. Ed
Summers, the leading finger on the
indianapolis Browns, will very probab-
ly be the fifth man and Willets or
Jones sixth.
There is little chance of change
in the catching department. Schmidt
and Payne were handicapped during
the latter part of the season by in
iuries. They both hit good in the race
for the flag, but fell down woefully in
the fight for the worlds title. How
ever, Hughey had faith in both OF
them and they will be behind the bat
next spring for the Tigers.
The locals will train at Hot Springs
and Little Rock, Ark, next spring.

WE'D, APRIL 10, 1907.

Last weeks session of the Fis.
cal Court was one Of unusual in
terest, made so by the introduc-
ton of one of the most vital
questions that confront the en-.
tire people of the county-a ques.
ton that not only affects the
happiness and convenience of the
people, but one that figures in
! real values. 1t was the question
of building macadam roads, the
Inauguration of a system that
held out hope and inspiration to
every part of our county, and
pointed to a time when the mud
/, holes and mires of to-day would
disappear on all of our leading
roads-a system that would ap-
peal to the pride and we'll being
of every part of the county. 1t
failed. and it's failure but marks
I the decline in the thrift and en-
terprise for which this county
has received broad advertising,
and for which a good number of
it's citizens have theoretically
devoted much of their time, tai
.ents and means. In the entire
history of this county no prop
osition of public import and mer-
. it, ever had a more united, hon.
est and painstaking effort on the
part of the strongest taxpayers.
No proposition was ever more
thorouhly and Systematically
studied and developed by an in
.terested people than the one pre-
sented by the Commercial Club,
and, in truth and in justice, we
believe that it was absolutely
free from features by which
graft could be practiced. 1t
safeguarded every dollar and ev-
cry dime, and guaranteed full
and lasting value, but it had
been developed by the CONNER
cial Club, and was presented by
that organization, an organiza-
ton we later found to be mis-
trusted and denounced as having
personal interests above public
necessity and the general good,
and, in view of this, its PROPOSE
ton was killed by a vote of 5 to 2
for it. The mind of some men,
bers of the court seemed to have
been poisoned against the Club,
and it is doubtful whether some
Of them would have approved
the adoption of the Declaration
of Independence if the Club had
presented it. In view Of such
actions of the court, painstaking
effort on the part of the many
citizens of this town, and the
further fact that the County
Judge and County Attorney were
thoroughly in accord with the
movement, and made an honor
able effort for favorable action,
the defeat sinks this county low
er in progressiveness than any
move that has been made for
many years. The plan devel-
oped by the Club is too extern
siye, and it's details too full to be
given in this issue, but we hope
to present it in next issue, that
the people of this county may
nsee and understand that no effort
ON the part ,dof the Commercial

,part of thlscounty, but meant to
establish a9system that would

soon as possible Not senlyndid'
The Adair County news., 1907-04-10

the court reject the plan offered
but it downed every proposition
that meant to build our public
roads, or to improve them. 1t
refused to adopt a system of any
kind, refused to use any of the
present funds in making or en-
couraging the citizens to make
some substantial rOa DIS. The
bridge proposition Jared as every
road proposition. The only eff
fort, the only evidence, that the
majority part of the court gave
in favor of any plan submitted,
was an order made authorizing
the County Judge to subscribe
for $4,000 stock in a turnpike
company to be formed to build a
road to Cumberland RI er,
and when the road is
built to the county line and a
guarantee that it will be COM
pleted, then the county will pay
the amount pledged. While this
would be of great value to Adair
county, yet there is no evidence
that it will materialize within
the life of present efforts. The
tax levy for general expenses
was cut to Is cents, and the road
tax blotted out of existence.
1t is not manly not game to
wilt under adverse circum-
stances; it is not wise nor pro-
gressive to yield to disappoint-
ment, and it is not just torebel
against the majority. The Com
mercial Club made an upright,
honorable plea and presented in
telligent, equitable plans for bet
ter public conditions, but got
nothing but defeat. The court
is composed of good meaning
men, good citizens, and will
doubtless see their mistake next
Winter, if not sooner. The first
real effort to get good system OF
substantial road building has
been made and lost. The prop
osition was not only defeated,
but a backward step was taken,
Beyond a doubt the people Of
this county will not be contented
with such a move nor indorSe the
action of the Fiscal Court. We
have no apology to offer for the
interest we felt, nor the effort
made to get a good plan of road
building started. We quit the
fight with no malice, and with no
charges of bad motives on the
part of any one. 1t is not our
purpose to dictate nor criticise;
it is not our makeup to sull and
sour. Our desire to see progress
i've methods strengthen, condi-
lions changed, and to help secure
and enjoy some of the conven
fences of modern life, alone,
have prompted the News to take
the position of advancement,
and if this present policy is the
standard by which the people of
Adair county desire their inter-
ests advanced, their happiness
increased and their blessings Sc
cured, or if it their purpose to
seek the lowest possible taxation,
content themselves with present
conditions and live in peace and
happiness, this publication will
doubtless be to some extent, an
annoying medium.

not yet condemned it nor tied a
blue ribbon on the five members
of the court who refused to adopt
some good system of making
substantial al roads, and who
shouldered the responsibility of
blotting out every cent of road
tax. The Club is all right, and
if it proves game, Can and will be
worth much to Columbia and
Adair county.
Adair county ought to issue
$50, in 20 year 5 per cent
bonds, and build so or rs miles of
good pike roads. These bonds
could be carried and paid off in
20 years on a levy of 20 cents or
less, and the people Immediately
secure the blessings of the good
roads. 1t is a proposition that
will bear the closest investiga-
ton, and grow in favor the more
you figure on cost and results.
