The road IS the only permanent

A Supervisor must depend on his
popularity for his election, and he,
usually will not antagonize a person
whose vote ne IS likely to need. A
baseball umpire Is supposed to give
impartial decisions. This a Road
Superintendent should do, AMI he
should give it in favor of the travel

individually. There should be no
thought of losing Mr. AS Or Mr. BIS

A REAL POISON PERIL.
Venom Of the Most Deadly Creature In
This Ha.nAn,x

Venom Of the Most Deadly Creature In
This Country.
One venomous creature there is in
this country which may justly be
termed a public peril in the widest
sense. Proportionately to population
more victims fall to it yearly in the
United States than to the dreaded
cobra in India. Some 1900 Ameri-
cans are killed every year by it's bite
Three hundred thousand more are
made seriously Ill from the after eff
fects. Unfortunately the virus works
so slowly that alarm is stilled. The
victims do not sicken at once. The
bite Is forgotten. but ten days or two
weeks after the subject falls into a
fever. His blood is poisoned within
him. Eventually in extreme cases he
becomes delirious. succumbs to stu
por and dies.
Yet because there is nothing horrifc
to the sensation loving Imagination in
the malaria bearing mosquito public
inertia or ignorance tolerates it with a
grin and permits it to breed In city
and country alike throughout the
length and breadth Of the nation.
Compared with it as a real menace all
the combined brood Of snakes, scor-
pions, centipedes, tarantulas and other
pet bugaboos Of our childish romanti-
cism are utterly negligible, are as fig
ment to reality. as shadow to sub
stance. 1t is perhaps characteristic Of
our wryly humorous American tenn
permanent that we should have invest
ed the unimportant danger with all
the shuddering attributes Of horror
and have made Of the real peril joke
to be perennially hailed with laughter
In a thousand thoughtless prints.-Ev
