SOUTH SIDE ASSOC,
DEMANDS A BRIDGE
Makes Dire Appeal to Coun-
ty Council-Main Street
Bridge in Bad Shape.

The directors of the South Side I'm
provement association appeared before
the county council this afternoon and
asked for an appropriation sufficient
to build the south side bridge at South
l. street. The directors of the asso-
citation stated that the county at the
present time had fund of S44,971 set
aside for the construction of the
| bridge and that to build the bridge ii
| would only take from $4,000 to $780,
loo. They asked the council to adjust
the levy SO that the additional amount
could be collected, which would be
sufficient to construct the bridge.
They stated that they had presented
the matter several times to the county
commissioners but without result and
that had come before council to try to
get action. The commissioners called
Jack Mueller, county engineer, to eX-
plain what had been done and why
! the matter had not been reported on.
Engineer Mueller stated that he had
made three surveys and had made an
examination of the Main street bridge.
thinking that it might be torn down
and reconstructed at South l. street,
but upon examination he found that
the bridge was in such bad shape that
it would not pay to do anything with
it. He stated that the bridge was
not constructed to carry the heavy
interurban cars and the current of
the street car company has caused
electrolypsis on the west end of the
bridge, which had left that part Of
the bridge in bad shape. He also
stated that it would be only a few
years until there would have to be a
new bridge constructed in it's place.
The bridge contemplated for South
L street would be 400 feet long, 40 feet
wide and have a sidewalk of five feet,
leaving the roadway thirty. feet. This
sort of a bridge would cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. including ap-
proaches. Mr. Coe showed the coun-
Gil how the appropriation could be
made without raising the levy, by re-
ducing one or two of the items on
the budget. The county council ad-
journed at 200 to meet again at 800
to consider the appropriations on the
1912 budget. The commissioners and
|council generally favored the appro-
tpriation providing it would not neces.
state the raising of the tax levy.

ITALIANS LINED UP
AND WERE SEARCHED
John Doe Reported to Off
GERS $3.50 Had Been
Stolen from Him.

Sheriff Albert Steen and deputies
Clarence Mote and Ed Morel, Rice Mil
Ter of Greensboro and Sam Roberts
were called to the Italian camp just
south of the Wernle Orphans Home
on Monday night to search for $3.50
which had been stolen from one of the
Italians, whom the authorities styled
John Doe. Sixty nine of the laborers
were lined up on the car tracks and
while deputies Mote, Roberts and Mil
Ter searched these, the sheriff and
Morel went into the cars which they
searched. The money was not found,
though two brothers, whose names
the sheriff could neither understand
nor get the spelling of are suspicioned
but were not arrested. The authorities
returned to the camp on Tuesday af-
ternoon, but at press time had made
no further discoveries nor made any
arrests
While searching the men deputy
Roberts found that one had hundred
and fifty dollars sewed up in the
inside of his undershirt, in such man.
ner that the money was always next
to his shoulderes. Even some gold ca
giles were sewed between the cloth.
When the deputy made the discovery
and compelled the man to disrobe and
count out the money ne squealed and
was most reluctant to do so. However
the robbed Italian, whose name the
authorities do not have, exonerated
the man. The authorities did not learn
just how it was the money had been
secreted from the Italians hiding
place.

a tooth for tooth in all OF them, ex-
cepting in the mill between Jimmy
Watts of Indianapolis and Jimmy
Goodman Of Chicago, which was stop
ped in the third round by promoter
Hugh McGann after Goodman had
been sent to the floor for the second
time, ready to receive the count.
Though NO knockout was registered,
1t would have been had the referee so
willed.
But the main so between Young
Sweeney of indianapolis and Jimmy
Anderson of Brazil was the stellar at
traction, the lightweights mixing it
up frequently and coming out scratch
ed and plainly showing the evidence
Of some of the fierce spells Of grilling.
Both were cautious of each other.
Both were clever, possibly Sweeney
having the shade, as he was active
on his feet and clever in landing
blows. Anderson has the punch;
Sweeney evidently lacks it, but is
quicker. Consequently Sweeney had
his speedy little opponent in many
tighter holes than Anderson was in.
The popular decision possibly favored
Anderson. though there were many
who thought the former Chicago lad
had the better Of the exhibition so far
as points are concerned: referee Nc
Gam rendered no decision.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

Here are some other quotations
from Mr.. Osborn's book:
"The daily newspaper responds
to EVERY DAILY WANT of
the home-national, local, society,
and sporting news-and last but
not least, ADV Err TIs1N G
NEWS"
There is no other kind of ad-
vertising which possesses as many
elements of producing profit as
the daily newspaper, for it reaches
and is read by every member of
the family"
"The daily newspaper ad. is al
ways fresh. 1t never has favor
of staleness."
Through the daily newspaper
you can advertise in towns where
your goods are on sale. You
therefore get 100 per cent value."
"It gets CLOSER TO THE
PEOPLE than any other kind of
publicity. You believe in the
newspapers policies; therefore
have CONFIDENCE in its ad-
vertising columns
"The daily newspaper is bought
for both news and advertising. Its
place in the home is as important
as the family clock"
The booklet is prepared with
great care and skill, and is full
of facts.
1t is one of the advertising
gems of the age-yery helpful,
very intelligent.

GUY S. OSBORN has issued
a little booklet entitled WHY
NEWSPAPERS" The intro
duction is: Remember, it's not
what you pay for the ad.-it's
what the ADVERTISEMENT
PAYS YOUl Advertising is to
business what yeast is to bread.
Mr.. Osborn represents several
good newspapers, and his busi-
ness is to secure advertising for
them, but he is very broad in his
views, and has so much faith in
NEWSPAPER ADVERT1S-
ING that he says:
This little booklet may fall
into the hands of some advertiser
who would like to learn more
about daily newspaper advertising
and its possibilities.
Even though you may not be
interested in the territory covered
by my papers, l should be glad
to give you all the information 1
can, or refer you to other repre-
sentatives whose papers do cover
the territory"
This is the spirit of COOP
GRAFTON that is gradually
manifesting itself among news
paper workers for the good of the
newspaper advertising cause.

but it has not come. too late, even
though our friends in the maga-
zine field long ago set us the ex-
