The Paving Question Continued.

The city council having submitted
the proposition for additional paving in
Cresco, covering twenty.one blocks
according to report, subject to the con-
sent Of the abutting property owners,
we take the liberty of expressing our
opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of such
extreme measures in a town no larger
than ours, supposed to be three thons-
and inhabitants.
According to the old saying we
should 'creep before we walk is
applicable in the present case. Like
the auto craze, although many are able
to stand the extravaganza ,, but in nine
ty-nine cases out of every one-hundred
it is not in proportion to their circum-
stances. Yet, but few realize the fact
till it is too late for repentance, and so
it is in the paving ''fad." Therefore
we submit the following estimated cost
of the work laid out for the ensuing
year.
Twenty-one blocks. counting 400 feet
or 1873 yards in length for each, and 80
feet or 10 yards in width the average,
is 1880 square yards to each block,
which equals 1880 total; this multi.

piled by $500 gives $55, 300 besides the
crossings. At $3.50 each of the fifteen
makes Sc, $50. Next the curbing, 49,
800 feet at 20 cents per foot, is So, 200,
then the surveying, about $4OO. All
footed up makes $66,2O0 the abutting
property owners would have to pay
providing the proposed work should be
forced through, or Sl97 for each of the
fifty foot fronting on both sides of the
street, equivalent to 1886 lots, all of
which would fall on the property own
ers to pay, simply for style, when we
consider that our streets are high and
dry and can be kept in first class condi-
ton with the grader, far preferable to
the filth the wind sends through the air
unless at great cost the sprinkler is
kept busy, and the accumulation hauled
away; an expense we don't care to
assume. Therefore we prefer mother
earth" to the noisy, rock-like surface
of pavement, even if it could be served
to US free of cost for the construction,
on account of the expense in keeping it
clean. We remember how it was on
Main St last summer for a while when
for some reason it was neglected; the
walks were covered which reminded US
of old times walking through the barn.

Evangelical Missionary Meeting.

The Women's Missionary Society,
Sunday morning, at the Evangelical
church near Florenceville, observed
their annual Day of Prayer. A fair
attendance was present despite the
cold weather. The theme of the serv-
ice was found in the request from the
great missionary, Apostle Paul, Pray
for u.s." The offering which was
taken will be devoted to the conversion
of Italians who are coming to America.
The needs in this field are great and
the success attending the work phenom-
email. All absent members should bring
their offerings for this work to the
next monthly meeting, March 3rd, at
the home of Mrs. Ed Schuman. Visit
ors always welcome. -: !.

such work had better not be extended

Dr. Newell Dwight Hills says: "Statisticians reckon the aver age mans value at S600 a year Each worker in wood, iron or brass stands for an engine or industrial plant worth s10,000. producing at per cent, an income of $500. The death of the ay- craze workman. therefore, is equiva- lent to the destruction of a s1O,O00 mill or engine. The economic loss through the non-productivity of 2O.O00 drunkards is equal to one Chicago fire. involving $2O0,0O0, ,000"

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
 BENEFITS

Only one person in 1000 in Denmark is unable to read and write, as com pared with seven out of every 1000 in the United States. Of 260,000 Danish children of school age, only 370 failed to attend school during the year 1911 Compulsory attendance upon school between the age of ' and Ii is so strictly enforced in Denmark that "the few who persist in avoiding their le- gal responsibilities are punished so severely that they are glad enough to change theirm inds."
 According to H. w. Foght of the United States Department of Educa- tion, the Danish schools are run six days in the week, giving at least 246 school days to the year. The people are so imbued with the value of edu- cation that they will go to any extre- mity to keep children in school.
 School life is made attractive by giving large place to popular songs. "All teachers" says MT. Foght, must be able to instruct in music, whether they can sing or not. The teacher al- most invariably accompanies the songs with violin, which all teachers know how to use." School music includes patriotic, religious and folk songs.
 Danish schools use a spelling book. Spelling is taught as a part of the reading process. Grammar is likewise taught largely through doing" as MT. Foght expresses it. "Dictation is giv en from some classic; this is then ana lyzed and rules of grammar are ap- piled as needed" The Bible is strong ly emphasized in all the schools.
 Children at school wear slippers and the girls wear short blommer-l skirts. In their physical exercises, which have prominent place in even the rural schools of Denmark, the pc culiar dress of the girls serves them we'll in giving freedom of movement.
 MT. Foght says the secret of Den marks high place in educational af- fairs lies in the hold which the teach CT has upon the entire people. Every teacher is professional teacher. The salaries are among the highest givn to any class of workers. Teachers houses with valuable pieces of land attached, are furnished in addition to the already liberal salaries. Teach ing is, from every standpoint, made honorable in Denmark. The teacher has high social ranking, is leader in both church and state, and is invar-

OUT OF 4 JOB,


 The cry is sometimes made that if saloons are voted out saloonkeepers will lose their jobs and their families will suffer. Did it ever occur to you, pertinently asks an exchange. that if the saloons are not voted out. hun dreds of the patrons of the saloons will lose their jobs and their families will suffer?
 When saloonkeeper puts a man out of job, he disgraces tho man and his family, and units him for an- other job. When prohibition puts a saloonkeeper out of job, he be- comes a more honorable citizen, his family becomes more honorable and the community secures a wealth-pro. ducing workman instead of wealth. destroying workman.

FoUND-TWo BILLION DOLLARS

' M WI SlR DOEIH n .
 A sure way of solving the problem of the high cost of living is forcefully indicated by Dan Polling in an appeal to the voters of the country. Have you ever stopped to consider" he says, what two billion dollars would do toward solving that problem?
 DO you think that it would help if we could find two billion dollars some where?
 We have found two billion dollars! Two billion dollars worse than lost, In round numbers, the drink bill of the United States represents an in vestment in body, mind and soul de- struction of S91.00 for each family in the country. When We remember that there are unnumbered families that have no drink bill at all, we begin to form hazy conception of the drink ing families of the nation Liquor money is generally bread money, meat money, shoe money, and money that ought to be spent for clothing. Some stomach goes hungry for bread, some feet go poorly shod some body goes inadequately clothed, in order that the liquor traffic may gratify the unspeak- able appetite it creates for unneces; sary strong drink"
