Good Roads Assn
Meets at Auburndale
On September 18th

The next meeting of the Polk
County Good Roads Association will
be held at Auburndale (not Daven-
port as enormously announced) on
Tuesday next, the 18th instant.
The hour has been fixed at 1880 in
the afternoon so as to give oppor-
tunity for all interested to make
convenient trains going to and re-
turning, and the Association has de-
cided to hold future meetings at
different points SO as to get the tax
payers all over the county interest
ed in this countrywide movement.
All taxpayers, whether members of
the Association or not, are invited
and urged to attend this meeting.
Before the county commissioners
can take up the matter of bonding
for good roads. petition from
sufficient number of taxpayers is
necessary and system of roads def
nitely outlined on a map with state
ment as to mileage and materials to
be used must be presented, and the
purpose Of the Association is laid
down in its constitution as follows:
ITO study what has been accom-
plished in adjoining counties which
have been most progressive in the
matter of good roads, and consult
with those responsible therefor, not
only in order to secure the benefit
of their experience and advice and
avoid their mistakes, but also with
la view to cooperating with them
towards uniformity in this part Of
the State. That with such infor-
nation before them they shall then
proceed to study of the necessi-
ties Of the various sections of this
county, and to the preparation of
map showing a countrywide sys-
tenn of roads designed to take care
OF both those and future necessi-
ties, so far as the latter may reas-
onably be anticipated. That with
such map before them, and not un-
J til then, they shall proceed to a
consideration Of the type of con-
struction"
To do this it is absolutely neces-
sary that tine Association should
have the active cooperation of ev-
cry taxpayer, each one of whom will
be very materially benefited by
good roads. The Association has
commenced active work with good
membership, but desires and must
add thereto the names of a large
number of other taxpayers. The
annual dues are only five dollars
and checks for same should be sent
promptly to the secretary-treasurer,
A. ]. Holworthy, at Lakeland. En-
gineers and other expert services
will necessarily have to be employed
and paid for and the Association
asks-for prompt cooperation.
The committee appointed to out
line a system of roads for the coun-
lty will make their first report next
Tuesday Every taxpayer who pos
sibly can should come out and help
to satisfactorily complete this part
of the work. Meeting at the new
packing house. Auburndale, Tues
day, Sept. Is, at 1880.

For Women
Are You Often "Insulted?"
BY BETH JEFFRIES.

Are you acquainted with the woman

tell afterWard as a result? There are
a good many of her left in the world
DESPITE the fact that she is steadily de-
cliring into the ma jority
All sorts of reasons and excuses have
been accorded the insulted woman. in
deed she seems herself to take a Ger
tain amount of. credit for being offered
an insult. 1t seems to appeal to her as
conclusive argument for the distinctive
ness of her sex appeal"
Now, my dears this very insistenco
upon sex" is in my opinion just the
very thing that gets this woman into
trouble. Instead of having her mind
on her own business. instead of being
concerned with the affairs which
brought her down town. and into the
crowded section, she is thinking about
HOW SHE LOOKS. WHETHER OR
WHAT THEY THINK OF HER.
Just as long as she trips along with
those thoughts in her head she is going
to find an answer to them every time
she lifts her eyes. The time has gone
by when il is a sight to see a woman

the medicine he had prepared. he was

the discomfort of hearing tom-tom
