Streets to be Macadamized.

Aldermen Grove, Shoemaker and
Phebus composing the Street Committee
Of the Board OF Aldermen, in special
meeting, held on Friday night. April
18th, met Mr.. Sands. of the firm of
Sands, Kline and Company, contractors
for oil laying, and S. NJ Chrlsthelf, Of
the Texas Company, makers of the
Texaco Road products, and arranged for
the oiling and healing the new streets Of
the city.
The Street Committee decided to pur-
chase a car or perhaps more of Texaco
Special Mac dam Binder, for which was
given a price of six and three-fonrths
cents a square yard, laid on the streets
hot and under pressure. Over this must
go gravel or crushed stone, which will
make nearly a three.fourth inch cushion
and which makes street practically
dustless and prolongs the life Of it con-
siderably. The city plans to use this
material on the new streets to be macad-
amized the coming summer. The Mary
land Good Roads Commission will use
the same sort of an application on the
road from Middletown to the top of
South Mountain, stretch of more than
four miles and that will be applied by
the same men engaged for the work in
Frederick
The material contains about 50 per
cent. of asphaitum. and once applied it
is stated that solid and water shedding
surface is given road for some years.
The city will sweep the street and will
also apply the screenings or gravel.
1t is expected that for all of the street
work that is to be done in Frederick
this summer, including the resurfacing
of the streets and the application of the
special oil. the cost will be between
$1,000 and $1,000. The streets upon
which this money is expected to be ex-
pended, include the following: Park
avenue, Trail avenue, Washington
street, .McMurray street. Center street
and Madison street, all OF which must be
macadamized.

and Others. appeared before the School
Board IN regard to a longer school year.
Howevr, because of the lack Of funds, the
County Commissioners not allowing as

POSTMASTER GIVES
ADVICE ON SHIPPING

Advice to Lynden citizens about
the mailing of Christmas packages
is given in a statement issued this
afternoon by d. w. Bender. post
master.
Postmaster Bender urges the OBJ
servance of the following susges-
tons:
Patrons of the Lynden postoffice
desiring to insure Christmas parcels
will please ascertain the number OF
parcels they wish to insure, and pro-
cure tags in advance.
All parcels should be made as
compact as possible, wrapped in
heavy, lightcolored paper, tied with
Irvine. and addressed with ink.
The following may be written on
the parcel: do not open before
Christmas" Merry Christmas.
Do not be satisfied with wrapping
a parcel so it will hold together un-
til you have showed it thru the
window, and then expect it to ar
rive in good condition at Kalamazoo
or Shamokin.
Do not use newspapers for wrap
ping, cord or thread for tying, nor
lead pencil for addressing.
The Department urges the pub
lie to mail Christmas parcels early,
but would be seriously shocked If
any great number needed the re-
quest.

Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused BY splits or
cracked places in furniture are easily
oiled In with beeswax. and the mark
Is never detected. In fact. this Is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
1t is like putty, then press arniy Into
the cracks and smooth evenly with
a thin knife. Sandpaper over the sur
rounding wood and work the dust into
the beeswax. This gives . wood hn-
ish or color. and when the furniture ID
vanished you will look In vain for
the blemishes. It is better than putty
since putty soon dries. crumbles and
falls out, while beeswax will remain
forever just where 1t is placed
