Athens, June 17.--(Special.) 1.-The election to decide whether Athens should issue $10,O0O for the purpose of building a city school building was held yesterday. and when the polls closed 143 votes had been cast. a very small vote.

FOR A CLEAN AND
IAN AND
BEAUTIFUL CITY.
est. Louis starr

THE women Of the flourishing lit
tie city OF Edwardsville, ILL.,, have in
augurated crusade for cleanliness
from which must come great good,not
only for themselves, but for their en-
tire community, and other communl-
ties as we'll, and they have gone
about their work in hand in way
that is characteristic of American
women. They saw there were ugly
spots upon their home town, and de-
cided that these ugly spots should be
made beautiful. Having made this
decision, they did not stand around
waiting for some one to come along
and do the work for them, nor did
they sit about in solemn conclave and
tell each other how the thing should
be done. They simply rolled up their
sleeves and went to work. They be-
gan right at the beglnning-by the
removal from the streets and alleys
and vacant lots Of all rubbish, and by
that job itself they worked such
change in the general appearance OF
the city that it is reported anyone
familiar with tie highways and by
ways OF Edwanlsville before the inau-
guration of the cara1aign would
scarcely have recognized the place
after this initiatory work was done.
I When the old tin cans and other
things had all been gathered up and
carted away, tite5o oarnest and ener-
getic ladies' were able to see what
more there was to be done, and they
pitched right in. They enlisted the as
sistance of some of the men and
infused into them part of their enc
ergy, and the men took hold with
a WILL Committees were appointed
to conduct the campaign and see that
the work was done strictly along
practical lines. Plans were made for
beautifylng the lawns and trout yards.
and with the thoroughness Of good
housewives, who always sweep hard
est under beds and in dark corners,
they attacked the back yards. A sys-
tenn of prizes for the best kept yards
was announced, and the children were
led into the good work by the offer
of cash prizes for such work as they
could do, and for school essays on
subjects related to civic improve
ment. In fact, the wives. mothers,
, daughters and sweethearts of the
men Of Edwardsville have started thel
spring house cleaning on a wholesale
: scale, and they have just reason to
: be gratified with results.
/ The women of Edwardsville are go
n ing to be proud of their little city
and they are fully justified in being
s proud Of themselves individually ant
II collectively. 1t is certainly to b'
Q hoped that their conduct will be con
u tagious; that other communities viii
be aroused to emulation of thel
good example. Even IL the Father'o %
Waters and State boundaries do sci

STANDARDO|L COMPANY
WANTS BOONE COUNTY
FARMERS TO TRY PROJECT

In communication to the Stur-
geon Leader from the Standard OH
Company of Kansas, a new project
for Missouri and this section of the
State is proposed whereby the dirt
roads are oiled. 1t is an experiment
that would be well for the farmers to
try, oiling perhaps only half-mtle
of dirt road The Leader states it
can raise good part of the money
to do this if committee of farmers
w consent to put oil on the roads
after grading, narrowing and draggin
same.
The following is the communica-
ton:
1--WE have noted in the Kansas
City Star numerous items on the
roads in your section that are being
worked up by dragging. We are yer.
much interested in good roads for diff
ferent reasons; the main reason is
we are running hundreds Of wagons
over the country roads supplying diff
ferent parties with oil. We believe
that where a road is grade and
dragged into good condition and
then covered with Standard Macad
am Asphalt Binder Oil 1t would be
as good as a rock road. For this
reason we are putting out Standard
Macadam Asphalt Binder Oil for use
on dirt roads. 1t makes the roat
water proof, the Oil acting as
binder, and making it absolutely dust
less. There was piece OF roat
built by the Kansas State Agriculture
College at Manhattan, Kansas, II
1906. This is a 16 It. road ant
crowned about inches. After
was built they narrowed 1t dow
about A to 1.2 inches, then COY
cred it with heavy asphalt oil, us
ling about one gallon to q squar
yard and went over 1t with a ligh
roller. This road is in perfect cond
tion to-day, and has not had a cen
, of money spent on it. This
, like the oil they use on the roads ]
, California and we believe good road
can be built in this country th
p same as in California by the use
Standard Macadam Asphalt Bind
Y Oil. 1t forms water proof cove
!. ing for the road and renders 1t dui
less. We are sending you to-day, u
der separate cover, a pamphlet
the use of Standard Macadam Asph'
Binder Oil, which shows what h
T. been done with 1t. If you are at
n interested in this kind of work
L would be pleased to hear from y
further and to what extent"
