LAUD CITY STREETS
Columbus Council Commit
tee Makes Inspection.

Richmond has the best constructed
and maintained streets of any city in
the country according to Cooper Broth
ers, one of the prominent road con-
tracing firms in the Middle West The
members of the firm were here last
week inspecting the macadam streets
of the city, which are considered mod
els by road experts throughout the
state, and after their inspection pass
ed the foregoing compliment
A committee representing the pub
lie improvement department of olum-
bus, Ohio, investigated the streets of
the city November Is. They reported
that motorists from that city had
spread the report in Columbus that
Richmond had such wonderful streets
that before making the extensive i'm
provements in a new edition to Colum-
bus the local streets should be exam
ined. Messrs. Sands and Wright, two
Columbus oouncilmen, were in the
committee which went over the local
macadam streets. They obtained sta
tistics from Street Commissioner
Gem relative to the cost, repairs and
maintenance of the streets. to be pre-
scented to the council of Columbus.

EGGS TAKE JUMP
Forty Cents a Dozen Was
Quotation Today.

Eggs are luxury these days. At
forty cents a dozen few housewives
serve them for breakfast dish or use
them in the preparation of other food
stuffs.
The price of eggs took a jump here
following the announcement last
week that they were selling in New
York for seventy-two cents a dozen,
the highest price ever paid for them in
that city.
Dealers do not know to what to at.
tribute the increase. Usually al this
season eggs advance, but never before
have they gone to forty cents. a price
that is indicative of mid winter.
1t has been known here that egg
brokers were trying to corner the mar
ket for some time. II was reported in
Richmond last month by a person con
yersant with the situation that this
was being done. and he prophesied
that eggs would be not only luxury
but also so prohibitive in price that
they would be regarded a curio before
the winter was over.

THE SYSTEMS WRONG
But if Everybody Would Get Together and Give One
United Shove, Rank Injustice and Social Inc
qualities Could Be Adjusted

Andrew Carnegie is the one grand
old fraud of the U. S.
AS a citizen he's absurd.
And as an exponent of the arts a
joke.
After squeezing the public dry and
raking in the shekels by the bushel-
he retires to his toy castle in his ma
tive land and there issues pious and
canting pronounciamentoes.
How to get rich by Stealing
How to build libraries without pay
ing for EN-
How to bunko young men with ad-
vice"
How I'm reformer for revenue
only"
The truth is that the remedy for our
social ills is in the hands of the lat
ter's victims.
If all the people who kick against
the present system-and two-thirds
are kicking against it-would get to-
gether, start propaganda and ram it
down the threats of the minority that
controls things, it would be a matter
of not centuries but months when
things would be whirled round hind
side before with such dizzy velocity
that the minority would fly clear off
the bar and be sent spinning into obli-
WON.
But people won't do anything
Why?
Because they are too supine, too
selfish, too afraid.
What good will it do you to take
this matter up" some one asked the
writer.
Possibly none. In fact none at all.
But nonetheless here is one protest
registered.
The writer doesn't believe that any
town needs a street bad enough to
justify robbing an old man of the pro-
duct of lifetime of labor.

The report of the Municipal light

FerIing's Report.
DR.. George Ferling presented his
statement to the council for time spent
as inspector at the Holzapfel plant.
For cold storage from May 4 to May
20 and from October 20 to November
2, and for ink which he personally
prepared for the purpose of stamping
meats. The total amount being $3.15.
The report was referred to the finance
committee.
Attention was called to the condi-
ton of the gutter at the intersection
of Grant and Sheridan street. A wo-
man was reported to have fallen into
the gutter as a result of the gutter
cover having been carried away. Coun-
Gilman Kaufman called the attention
to the need of an arc light at the cor
ner of North Sixteenth and E streets.
He reported that women have been as.
sailed at this place and the need was
as great as in any part of the city.
Mayor Zimmerman then reported that
the light plant would not be able to
take on any more lights at this time,
as the maximum load was now being
carried by the plant.

ROAD MAINTENANCE
WILL Be DISCUSSED
County Commissioners and
Road Supervisors TO Meet
Here Saturday.

Better roads for Wayne county"
Through the persistent use OF the
above slogan the board of county COM
missioners expects 10 bring about
great results. To this end an organi-
ration is 10 be formed in this county at
a meeting to be held al the court
house Saturday afternoon.
Letters have been sent to county
road superintsndents, road supervis-
ors, the township trustees, and men,
bers of the Commercial club, asking
them TO attend the meeting which is
TO be held at.2 O'Clock. IL is the idea
of the commissioners to form a per
manent good roads organization and to
determine upon a more uniform policy
of road maintenance.
This is the first time in the history
OF the county that the problem of con-
serving public highways has been ap-l
preached with the purpose OF arriving.
at a solution that will give farmers
good roads and at the same time pro-
tect the interests of the taxpayer
Robert Beeson. president of the
board of commissioners. will explain
! the method which he has used with
success in his district. He has operat-
ed on the principle that county roads
lack proper drainage OF surface water.
/ With this in view he has rounded off
all roads under his supervision SO
that they slope from the middle to
the sides. This plan. according to
persons who have seen the roads. gives
~
making OF ruts by teams following In
the path that has been cut by wheels
and the hoofs of horses.
All Requisites Here.
County Auditor Bowman declared
today, in speaking of the meeting. that
Wayne county should have the best
roads of any county in this state.
There is more gravel in Wayne
county than in any county in In
diana and il is easy to get to-" the au-
ditor said. The gravel is distributed
over the county and 1t requires but
little hauling"
1t is likely that the proposed or
ganization here will take part in the
attempt to have the 1913 legislature
change the road tax law. Some declare
that not only the railroads cheat the
county on road improvements. but
that a large number of farmers, who
pay their tax in gravel hauling also do
so.
J The plan to have the law changed.
SO that all work will be paid for by
the state, may be suggested at the
Saturday meeting.
1t is expected that there will be q
large attendance at the meeting. There
are forty-eight road supervisors, who
are elected by the people in their re-
| spective districts and forty-eight road
superintendents, appointed by the
board of county commissioners. The
supervisors oversee the improve
ments on the township roads and the
superintendents on the county free
turnpikes.

THE GOOD PHYSICIANS METHOD
1t is a small wonder that physi-
clans prescribe an Alternative (blood
purifier) for SO many Affections, since
the blood is so intimately related with
every function of the human body.
Poisoned, or impure blood, aside
from such manifestations as syphilis.
catarrh. infammatory rheumatism,
pimples. boils, sores, muddy complex
ion, etc, effects the appetite, the d.
gestion and the whole human or
ganism.
The most powerful and effective
Alternative known is DR.. A. B. Simp-
sons Vegetable Compound, discover
ed by a famous physician OF Indiana
and used in his practice more than
forty years ago. 1t has never failed
to cure the most dreadful form of all
poisoned blood (syphilis1 and has of
course readily conquered all the les
ser blood diseases.
Nothing has ever equalled it for
giving a clear. healthy complexion.

DANCED ON ONE LEG

Henry Schultz was fined 81 and
costs in police court this morning for
begging. Schultz has only one leg and
moves about with the aid of a crutch
and cane. He was going from store
to store on Main street, saying he had
permission from the police depart
ment to ask for subscriptions from the
merchants to purchase a wooden leg.
Complaint was made to the police
headquarters that he had been using
the money to buy liquor. Mayor
Zimmerman told him he would be sent
to the county jail for LA days. When
he later heard that he was only going
to Jail for II days he forgot his infirm-
ity and danced for Joy.
