smaller pieces Of wood are fastened
across the upright sticks, about three
inches from the base, with small, thin,
sharp nails.
After the woodwork has been COM
pleted, II is bound round and round
with narrow ribbon until 1t is entirely
covered, and loop is arranged at the
top by which the stand may be lifted
when necessary or hung up in the win
dow. Smart little bows of ribbon
should be tied on where indicated in
the sketch.
We next come to that part in which
the fern pot is fitted, and this is made
of a piece of stout cardboard, cut out
in the shape shown by the diagram
B." and then covered on both sides
with silk of a color to match the rib
bon. Care must be taken to make this
portion exactly the correct size, and
when completed 1t can be laid in posi-
ton between the sticks and few
stitches through the edge of the silk
and the ribbon covering the wood will
secure 1t in its place.
These little stands are very mex
pensive and easy to make, and filled
with pretty ferns, should form attrac-
tive little articles for sale In bazaar.

for Highway improvement, asserts
that the United States suffers direct
loss of s4O,OOO,OOO annually on account
of incorrect and inadequate methods
in the construction, maintenance and
administration of public roads.
This enormous loss is nothing COM

excessive cost of transportation,
which is caused by the burden which
bad roads impose upon the farmers
and others who use the highways, and
this amount. according to Mr.. Pages
report, reaches the impressive total Of

They Allege New Regulative
Law Does Not Affect Es-

Gil Up in the Air.

When council meets Monday night.
one of the important matters for con-
sideration will be whether or not the
city saloon liquor license will be rails
ed to s70o. including state license. as
provided in the statute passed by the
last legislature
At the present time the city license
is 1851, state and county license 500
and federal license $25.
ty days in which to act on fixing the
amount Of the license, hut If council
fails to take any action. the state and
city license will be fixed at $400. in
creasing the present license $40.
The councils action which is consid-
erabiy in the dark on the new law. is
very doubtful. While some of the off,
cials, including President Hammond,
of the board of works, and City Clerk
b. A. Bescher favor raising the license
fee to $700, others claim that it would
not be fair
Ministers Are Busy
While council is puzzling its brain
over the liquor license fee, the Min
isterial Association is Rghting for the
restriction of the number of saloons
to one to each 1000 inhabitants.
Last night at a meeting OF the asso-
citation, resolution which will be cir
ri fpd in ho y;r nsf ~,
today for signatures, was adopted 1t
| is as follows:
"To the Commissioners of Wayne
county:
"Gentlemen-The Proctor Liquor
Regulation Bill, passed by the legisla-
ture. provides in section 4. that the
| number of retail saloon licenses grant
ed shall not be more than one to ev-
cry 500 inhabitants of any city, town
or township, which number may be
| further limited by the board Of coun-
ty commissioners of any county to any
| number not less than one to each one
thousand inhabitants of such city or
| township. Any limitation by the board
of commissioners shall be made at its
| first session after this act takes ef-
feet
THE undersigned, legal voters in
Wayne county, respectfully but ear
nestly petition your honorable body at
your session commencing Monday,
March 6. to limit the number Of sa-
looms in this county to one saloon for
every one thousand OF its inhabit-
ants
Ministers of the city consider this
an important temperance move, al
though they deplore greatly the pas
sage Of the Proctor bill However, no
action will be taken regarding the IL
cense fee increase, as this is thought
to be something concerning the coun-
Gil entirely. The ministers apparent
ly believe an increase in the license
is likely inasmuch as it would I'M
crease the income to the city and
schools.
| A committee of ministers will call
on the commissioners Monday, at the
opening Of their March session, to
present the petitions. on which are ex-
pected to be several thousand names.
Favorable action is anticipated by
them. Such move will be vigorously
opposed by the local liquor dealers or
ganization. They claim the new law
does not affect saloons already estab-
lished. Local attorneys disagree on
this point.
