Keep 1t in Condition for Short Pc
riod to Show the Possibilities of This
Method of Highway Improvement
ordway to Have Charge.

The Retail Merchants association,
will take charge of the Improvement of
two miles of the East Main street road
for a period of three months, The
working of the road is to be done with
King drag and it's purpose is to show
what can be done by this method of
highway improvement in the hope that
the start thus made will be followed
by the city and be far reaching and
suit
The merchants association Is to pay
for and have direct charge of the work,
which will be under the supervision of
Street Commissioner George Ordway.
The two miles to be worked are the
two miles directly east Of the city's
limits.
Mayor Ingledue Suggests Plan.
This plan was adopted at the meet
ing of the association Monday after 1T
had been proposed by Mayor Ingledue.
as the road thaws sufficiently to be
worked 1t is then to be dragged re-
peatedly during a period of three
months.
The object. of the undertaking Is
threefold. 1t will greatly improve this
stretch Of road which in muddy weather
Is one of the worst leading into the
city. 1t will show to the farmers the
possibility of road improvement with
the King drag. 1t will furnish a START
ing point for the expenditure of thel-
mill tax the board of supervisors has
levied against city property to be ex-
pended under the direction of the city
for the Improvement Of highways lead
ing to town.
Plan to Improve All Roads.
The plan, Of which this is the be-
ginning, is to be improve all of the
roads over which traffic comes into the
city. The money for this purpose will
be derived from the tax. referred to
above, which will be collected for the
first time next year. This tax will bring
about $1,000 each year According to
the law this money must be expended
by the supervisors under the direction
or the city lOr lue Improvement VI
country highways adjacent to the city.
The scheme is to improve thes roads
for a distance Of three miles from the
city limits with King drags. paying for
the work out of the road tax fund.
~ Get Farmers to Join.
1t is the hope that after this work
had been started and the roads had
been improved for distance Of two
miles that the farmers living beyond
the improved portion would join
in and the result would be that
the main travelled roads for distance
of ten miles or more could be made
good and easily passable at all times

The city has never before had this
fund to work with, it having been lev

POPULAR RECIPE +;
Effective Home Made Cough
Syrup.

Make plain syrup by taking one
pint OF Granulated Sugar, add one half
cup Of water, stir and let boil just a
moment. Put two and one-half ounces
OF pure Pinex in a pint bottle and fill
dt up with the Graapulated Sugar Syrup.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours. Keep well corked and 1t
will never spoil.
The effectiveness Of this simple home
made article is surprising. 1t usually
stops deep-seated cough in twenty
four hours 1t is also excellent for
colds, whooping cough. pains in the
chest, bronchial troubles and similar
ailments
Use the real Pinex in making It,
however. It is the most valuable, con-
centrated compound of Norway White
Pine Extract, and it is far superior to
the numerous pine oil and pine tar
preparations. If your druggist does not
have 1t, ne can get 1T for you with
out trouble.
The proportion above suggested
makes full pint Of the best cold and
cough remedy. The taste DIS very pleas
mt. The total cost is about 81 cents.

CHILD AND THE RATTLEsNAkK.
The Little One Played with Death
But Knew II Not.

The child saw the Beautiful Death
that lay in the sunshine on the edge
OF the bending grass; he had never
been afraid Of anything; he was not
afraid of the snake. He stretched out
his little rosy arms toward 1t and
laughed and gurgled. The snake
shortened his coil, and in his hiss now
there was menace. The last rays OF
the sun shone on the head Of the rep
tile; they seemed to light up all his
evil features. They showed that his
eyes had a touch of red in them and
were lustful; they showed a fieck OF
dried blood, not his own, on the cruel
curve of the lip; they showed the
spreading nostrils and the jaws OF
iron. But the child could see none OF
these things; for the child knew moth
ing Of lust, OF cruelty, OF blood. He
rolled over on his stomach and, taking
hold on the grass, pulled himself play
fully toward the snake; he touched the
monsters cold head with his little
warm fingers. And not even then did
the Banded Death strike-the child's
touch was a caress; IN the child's face
and voice was neither hatred nor fear
Then the rattlesnake glided slowly
out of his coil and disappeared in the
grass by the fence. And the mother
