Cssh Road Tax Law.

Some newspapers have told the peo-
pie through their columns that now
Earle has the cash road tax law
fastened onto the people 1.-The man who
lives on the by.road will not get dol
lars worth of repairs, for the township
highway commissioner will expend it
all on the main aut o-mo- bile-r-oa'd.s. "
The truth of the matter is that never
in the history of Michigan did the by
road taxpayer have such protection as
he has under the cash road tax law, for
it says in the law-''The road repair
fund must be expended on the roads
directly beneftting the property taxed. ."
1t further says that if ten taxpayers
think the commissioner is not doing
this, it is their right to protest to the
township board, and the board must
look into the matter and decide which
is right, and order how the work shall
be done.
The bill is home-rule bill, giving
the townships the right to say how
much they will raise in both the road
repair and highway improvement
funds, although it limits the amount of
each fund to ne.half of one per cent.
The township board has the right to
borrow three-fourths of the fund voted,
so the highway commissioner can pay
cash for work done; one-fourth may be
reserved for emergency repairs and
taking care of snow in the winter time.
The highway commissioner can hire
men in different sections of the town
ship to look after snow in winter and
pay them for their work.
1t would be a wonder if man could
draw perfect bill the first time. and
Commissioner Earle does not expect
that he did, so he asks the citizens of
the state to stand by the township COM
missioners and help them along, and
when defect appear, to write to the
State Highway Department and tell
where the law can be improved, and
why; but to write in spirit of inter
est in the state of Michigan, and not
in spirit of having general kick
coming.

EASY TO MIX THIS
Prepare II at Home BY Shaking Well
In Bottle.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
"a simple prescription, as formulated
by noted authority, who claims that
he has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known druggist here at home
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache. as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney struct-
ure, cleansing these most important
organs and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it trial

The Lowest Chicago Price on a Piano.
Everyone in Chicago knows that the
way to secure piano at the lowest price
is to call on Lyon g. Healy. This firm
exhibits the largest and most varied
stock of pianos in the world. Over
1000 instruments are displayed side
by side under their roof. All of these
pianos are sold at low, fixed prices,
which are the same to everyone.
The foundation stone of Lyon &
Healy's success is to have every piano
they sell act as missionary, that is, to
be instrumental in selling many other
pianos for them.
Lyon & Healy now offer to ship
pianos to persons at distance at
precisely the same prices they ask for
the goods in Chicago. Furthermore,
they make speciality of selecting
instruments for persons at distance.
The advantage of buying piano
from the great Chicago music house is
selfevident. There is nothing to
equal the pianos that Lyon & Healy
offer. In the 20 great makes that
Lyon q Healy sell you will, of course,
find Steinway, Webers, Lyon 81 Healys,
and, in fact. all the most
desirable instruments of the day.
Write for their new and very beau
tiful catalogue entitled "A Piano
Book. Address Lyon a. Healy at 10
Adams Street, Chicago.

Big Coal Strike Reported Over
in Hodgeman County.

Special to The News.
Dodge Feb. 6-Arthur Orebaugh
was in town Monday and reported
that a new settler on farm 30 miles
North of D odge had struck l6 foot
vein of coal. Mr.. Orebangh had
not seen the coal, but the story was
that the settler undertook to dig a
we'll. At the depth of 24o feet the
drill encountered the coal and the
search for water ceased.
Thursday MIR. Sites and daughter
we're in from the same neighborhood
and reported the depth of the vein
at II feet.
President Allen of the Farmers
Union also confirms the report.
A seventeen foot vein of bitumin-
Gus coal IN Hodgenlan county would
mean wonderous wealth for our
neighborhood and would make pos
sible lot of things in this section
that have not been dreamed of.

Great Coal Veins

VIII Take Little Capital
TO Make Paying Mines
Six Feet of Coal
MOI Found Every
Day.

| Special to The News.
The theory of the "oldest iuhab-
liant" that bounteous supply of
coal could be found in Ford county
is likely to be demonstrated and
that quickly.
Geo. Slocum who lives near the
Ford county line was driving well
on his farm and at depth of rs
feet opened up a six-foot vein of
bituminous coal of a very excellent
quality.
Lest there might be some mistake,
Mr.. Slocum had several holes bored
and found coal in all of them, the
depth being practically the same in
each.
1t has been further reported that
from one of the holes flow of gas
is escaping that can be heard for
two-hundred yards.
The well-known probity of Mr..
Slocum gives absolute confidence In
the truth of the find.
Mr.. Slocum's farm is about twen-
ty miles north of Meade. The vein
is so near the surface that it will re-
quire but small capital to develop
the property into a paying mine.
Other tests will be made and if
the coal proves as valuable as the
indications promise. it can be but a
short time till Ford county coal will
be another resource to add to to the
wealth of the community.
