Good Stroke Of Business.

The G1 note is not the smallest is-

It was in circulation for many years,
4 source of annoyance to the cashiers
in making up their accounts. At
length the holder of it brought 1t to

ment persuaded the authorities to

Clay Center To Have Electric Fount

Clay Center To Have Electric Fount.
A few weeks ago the people of Clay
Center decided that an electric foun-
tain would be fine adornment for
Huntress park, the city's popular re-
sort, SO an entertainment was given
at the park for the purpose Of rails
ing money with which to install such
a fountain. Two hundred and twenty
six dollars we're cleared from the en-
tertainment and with other funds on
hand, runs the fund up to about $500.
A fountain costing about $500 will be
installed, but before that is done an
other entertainment will be given to
secure the whole sum needed. Clay
Center will then have its electric foun-
tain which has been SO much desired
by the citizens of the town.

from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

Cost of OiIinn Roads.

A recently published report of the
| Boston park commission is interesting.
| In 1906 twelve miles of road were
| treated with oil to keep down the
dust, and the result was so satisfac-
tory that in 1907 the whole extent of
more than forty miles was treated In
this way. Mr.. Putnam the engineer.
has carefully calculated the cost, and
he says that the annual cost of sprin-
King a thirty foot roadway was $4S9
a mile. whereas the cost of oiling the
same roadway thirty feet wide was
$3.50 In addition to laying the dust
the asphaltum in the oil had binding
effect on the surface of the road and
very materially lessened the cost for
repairs. The oil is put on in an emul.
sion in which fifteen pounds of SOAP
dissolved in fifty gallons of water are
mixed with hundred gallons of crude
oil. the whole being agitated to the
proper point of emulsion, and then $50
gallons of this are mixed with 45O gal
ons Of water and sprinklcd on the |
'oads. The plan has given the very
Dest satisfaction in Boston and might !
'e tried elsewhere with corresponding
y satisfactory results.

to have embodied scientific ideas in

and supported by large blocks Of con-
crete. Through each block run several
vertical holes, and In these, according
to the inventor. lies the virtue of the
idea.
The holes are filled with sharp sand,
and between the brick surface and the
blocks is placed an inch
layer of sand. This road, it Is held,
.annot be broken down. The sand dis
ributes pressure upon the surface

county there are short roads where
treatment has been given similar to the
pavement on Douglas avenue in Ellis
worth. Here there are two blocks that
| fool fourtifths of the visitors to the
| town. The treatment of this street
was commenced about two or three
years ago, consisting of coarse and
fine cinders in layers, then a covering
surface of salt and alkali scale.
The water In this country is very
hard, and in all the steam boilers at
the salt mills and other factories a sort
of alkali forms which must be remov-
ed frequently and this, with the salt
and alkali scale that forms in the salt
pans, is used on Douglas avenue. 1t
forms hard crust and makes most
excellent street. 1t is a success on
the most busy thoroughfare of Els
worth, and if the supply was not so
limited the farmers would use 1t for
the rural roads and more of the streets
of Ellsworth would be paved with 1t.
The salt and alkali crust on Douglas |
avenue is now about three inches |
thick. and this lies on three inches of
coarse cinders and three inches of fine
'tnders. 1t makes a pretty street, in
appearance being like an asphalt pave
nent before it becomes dirty.

"If my observations are correct the

lowing manner Small stones or peb-
bles are loOsened by the wheels of We

With the soft wheeled automobile

the suction caused by them and by the

little stones more easily and quickly,
and as there are hardly any iron

come plentiful, and before long they

Lesson In Good Roads.

The state engineer of New York in a
recent report says that in 1907 New
York built 81 miles of good roads
and in 1908 500 miles. The taxpayers
have authorized the expenditure of
S5O,O00,000 for roads. and the legisla-
ture has added $11.000,000 1t is stat
ed that the contention for good roads
had to be waged for years to get the
work started. The farmers were the
strongest in opposition. New Jersey
and Massachusetts took up the work
before New York. but now the EN-
pire State is getting in line. BY the
time the $G1,0OO,0GO shall have been
spent the three states, which all Join
at points, will have great system of
roads. One may leave PHILADELPHIA
and reach Boston on highways smooth
and solid A good automobile may
easily beat the trains on this trip, and
surely the pleasure is much greater.
