What is our Selectmen a-gOing
to do about keeping the roads free
from snow this winter, which is
now almost in our midst. or amt
they a-going to do anything just
like they done last winter and the
winter before that and from time
Iimorial?
We amt had no snow as yet and
we hope we won't have none yet
for a while, but we believe IN ask
ing this question before it is too
late and not waiting until next
spring. after the snow hereabouts
has all melted. It has always been
our policy as editor and proprietor
OF the Bingville Bugle to take time
bv the forelock in such matters
and pull her forelock so blamed
hard that peepul who fiji posishions
of honor and trust will git worked
ND to their duties and prepare for
! the worst. In other words, we be-
/ lieve that a ounce of foresight is
mighty sight more than a whole
bushel Of hiudsight. This is why
we sneak about this now.
You all remember how deep the
snow was in Bingville last winter,
don't vou? If you don't you have
rurrible poor memory. Why the
snow in Bingville was clean up to
/ your neck i'll some places and over
YOUR head in others. Take Hank
|Dewberry, for instantS. Hank he's
six feet tall, and vet one morning
after a heavy snow fall last De
cen1ber when he started acroSt the
main street for Hen Wcathersby' ;
store to see If Hen would trust
| him for a plug OF tobacco, being
as he was out Of tobacco and hadn't
| had a chew since the night before,
| Hank he stumbled and fell into a
snow drift right in the middle Of
| the road that was about nine feet
deep and he clawed around and
swore until he was almost petercd
out. but still he couldn't see day
light, and, by gracious, he had to
dig outcn the STOW drift just like
woodchuck and he come out 10
feet away from where he fell in.
Hank might of dide or iroze 70
deth III that snow drift and no.
boldly ever been the wiser until
last spring.

vile was Jest as bad or worse as

Snide three hours to git here, and
didn't a possy of able-bodied men

We answer YES!
And what was orr Selectmen
doing all this time, pray? Well

We are aware that the office OF
town Selectmen don't paw any
salery. II is ornery posishion, as
you might say, and vet that's no
excuse for our Selectmen. IF they
didn't intend to perform the duties
of the office they had no business

elected. What did Deacon Butter
worth do when he was running to
be elected ore of the SeleCtmen?
Why, he went around and asked
everybody to vote for him if they
wanted good roads. and then after
he was elected why he begin to
set around and wear patches on
his pants all winter with the deep
snow on the roads hereabO1ts a
shame and a disgrace 10 Bingville.
We have heard the deacon pray

Of him working on the roads until

so lazy that he hates to eat his own

BUTTER HIGHER
THAN EVER SOON
Price Will Exceed Any In Recent Years,
Declares Head of the
"Trust."

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Consumers who are
looking for drop in the prices Of some
of the necessaries Of life will not get
any drop on butter, according to John
Newman, president Of the Eigin board
Of trade, After the board had increased
the price a cent a pound Monday, Mr..
Newman said it was his opinion that
even higher prices were coming before
winter.
Butter win be at prices to exceed
anything IN the last few years before
the winter is well started said Mr.
Newman. "The present dry weather il
the cause Of this prospect, The talk Of
50 cents for butter Is, however ridicu-
lous."
The price was raised from 27 to 2s
cents by the Elgin board, Many Of the
members reported that pastures III their
regions were dry and worthless and
that farmers had already begun to give
tl,eir cows feed that should be saved
for winter

GUARDING AGAINST sUNsrRoKE.
Care which should be Given Horses and
Cows.

During periods Of excessive heat, when
work horses in the fields or on the
streets are liable to suffer from sun
stroke or "overheating," much may be
done BY the owner to lessen the lkeli-
hood Of an attack Affected horses are
usually those that are sick Of soft, and
every possible means should be taken
to prevent indigestion and to fit the
animal to Withstand labor in hot wealth.
er, says the Country Gentleman Horses
under FIVE years Of age are more apt to
suffer than seasoned adult animals;
hence, young horses should be worked
lightly during hot weather. Indigestion,
The common forerunner Of sunstroke,
lis indicated by dullness, sluggshness,
painting at light labor, sweating in ata-
ble and the ehangeable character Of the
manure which is normal some days and
again elay.colored, mucous-colored, or
undigested, offensive mass. When % at.
fected it is extremely dangerous to work
the animal IN extreme hot weather.
Slight changes in food, more care In
feeding, rest and simple correetives are
required in such cases and preventive
measures amy be adopted as follows.
Feed hay night and morning onlyi give
drinking water before meals and in
small sips often when at work; prefer
clean, soft water to that rendered hard
BY the presence Of lime salts, which
tend to derange the stomach. Remove
the harness at noon, and allow suffi-
cient time for rest and mastication Of
food; groom the skin thoroughly once
daily; feed sound food; avoid corn in
summer as it is heating; prefer sound
old oats which repair waste Of tissue
and promote vim and endurance; avoid
sudden changes Of food, and do not feed
heated, green grass or clover.
Cleanse the stable daily, ventilate per.
fectly, screen doors and windows, re-
move manure piles from the vicinity OF
the stable; feed fresh food each meal
shade the horses head at work, but
avoid a heavy, wet sponge; if possible
do not work three horses abreast, as the
middle horse sufferers thereby and IS
the most liable to sunstroke; where
such combination cannot be avoided,
change horses often to afford as much
relief as possible. Choose the coolest
hours for work, and change teams often
during sultry moist weather when thun-
der storms are prevalent.
