Following the advice of the state

served fund in every town except
Washington for the purpose of re-

REPORT OF COUNTY HIGHWAY
COMMISSIONER
TIC the Honorable Board of Super
| visors of Rusk county, Wisconsin:
Gentlemen: According to Section
1317m. chapter 337, Laws Of 1911 as
amended ~ the legislature of 1918,
hereby submit to you report Of
money drawn and used by me out
of the Highway Fund of Rusk coun-
| ty.
| In taking charge of this work late
| in June l have not accomplished as
much as l had hoped to. The season
for road building in Rusk county is
short and it is very necessary that
everything is ready to start work
early. Machinery and crews should
be ready to go to work as soon as
| the frost is out Of the ground. A
large amount of preparatory work is
required on roads before the grader
| is put to work on them, and it comes
| at a time when the farmer is very
busy with his farm work, in fact,
! the farmer in Rusk county has all
he can do as rule to work his
farm, and cannot work on the road
at the time it is most needed.
I had expected that the work could
| be done by farmers, but find that
crews will be needed to prepare the
roads ahead of the grader, and shall
keep a crew at that work during the
coming year. The traction grader out
fit is, I believe, a success, and an
other outfit should be purchased as
one outfit cannot do the work. We
built boarding car and put it on
wagon. The outfit, new wagon and
all cost about one hundred fifty dol
lars. This will accommodate a grad
er crew of from four to six men, and
is necessary with the grading out
fit as it saves time. One or two
more boarding cars should be ready
for work in the spring.
The following sums have been ex-
pended in the various towns:

TOWN OF MURRY-
For doing the work in the town
Of hurry (cut off from Atlanta) there
was no grader, and there was about
five miles to grade and the contract
ors We're after grader
Mr.. Sergeant and myself visited
Mr.. Brown, the chairman and he re-
fused to furnish grader and said
that the town had no grader and no
money to buy one. We informed him
that he could purchase one and pay
for it out of the taxes collected this
year, but this he refused to do.
On advice from the State High
way Commissioner l purchased a !
new grader and placed it in the
town. Same has been used by the
and is now in the town in
good shape. After getting the grader
l informed Mr.. Brown, the chairman,
that the grader had been purchased
for the town and was there at his |
disposal.
The price of the grader is 100000 |
to be paid Dec. 1, 1918.
Freight, paid out of Machinery

Setting up grader paid out of
Machinery fund -. -. >. $50
TOtaI .95I4.Vo
The matter now stands in the
hands of the County Board to either
pay for the grader and charge it up
to the town of hurry or let the town
for it, or the Highway Commissioner
pay for it and keep it.
In going over the county the past
season l find a good many of the
county aid bridges need painting and
a few small repairs, such as loose
bolts and bent rods that make them
look bad.
l would suggest that a fund be pro-
vided for painting all of the old
bridges that need it, and such small
repairs as are necessary, either under |
the supervision of the bridge COM
mittee or the Highway Commissioner.
1t would probably be much cheaper
for the Highway Commissioner to
look after it as he is out over the
country all the time, and if looked
after by the County Bridge Commit

PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD

Some people have . tendency to b. come thin-blooded just as others have e inherited tendency to rheumatism, or te nervous disorders. The condition h which the blood becomes 50 thin that the whole body suffers comes on 60 grsduall1 and stealthily that anyone with . nstur1 disposition in that direction should waAch the symptoms carefully. Bloodlemness or anenia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not over. come, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlcssness on slight exertion, such e going up stairs, is noticed.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are . home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of diseases caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood-making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. A former sufferer from anemia says: "I was emaciated and did not have particle of color. I had severe headaches, had no ambition and could just drag around" Dr. Will lams' Pink Pills quick restored appetite, flesh and health. A full statement of this case with directions regarding diet will be found in the booklet, ssBuildine Up the Blood," sent free by the Dr. Will lams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

The Rangers shut out the Cheshire town team up to the ninth inning yesterday afternoon at Ranger field Descola then eased up and allowed the visitors to cross the plate with one run.
 Sunderland, the visitors twirler, was touched up for seven hits, but the Rangers ran wild on the bases, stealing eight sacks.
 Descola pitched strong game, al- lowing five hits, and was backed up in fine style by his teammates.
 One of the features of the game was the base running of Nelson, who, running for Sanberg in the seventh, stole second and home. Ken walth- CTS, High school star, played his first game for the Rangers and showed up we'll. The score:

PLAYED UNDER "TOM' REILLY. Frank Murphy, Former New Haven
 Star, Is Dead.

News has been received of the re- cent death out west of Frank Mur- phy, former New Haven baseball star. Murphy played back in 1900 when Congressman Reilly and Con- rad Miller of Meriden controlled the New Haven franchise. The latter cleaned up $3.5o0 during that season and won the pennant
 Murphy was one of the best players that ever came to the league and was an outfielder and batter of renown. While playing for the New Haven club his work attracted the atten- tion of big league scouts and three teams, the New York, Cincinnati and Pittsburg Nationals, tried hard to land him. So bitter was the fight that the matter was brought into court but was never threshed out. Murphy wandered away from the straight path and never entered the big league.

GIANTS BACK IN
 THEIR OLD STRIDE
Defeat Cubs With Ease, Greatly a Surprising Blg Crowd.

Chicago, July 13.-The cleanest and best balanced game the Giants have set up in weeks was put on view by them yesterday when they beat the Cubs by score of 2 to g. The hitting. fielding and pitching were all of superior order of ex- cellence, and the revised batting or- den. which flushed so many bingles In St. Louis, not only dented Cheneys pitching freely but co-operated at the bat effectively. The champions showed up capably in all depart. ments.
 The biggest crowd of the year at West Side park was considera bly, taken aback at the ease with which the Giants tanned the Cubs hides espe- cially after hearing how badly the leaders have been going lately. May be the Giants surprised themselves; in any event they played vastly bet ter game than at any time since they left home.

In Icclese Vera Cruz.

The following poem, printed in the Mexican Herald-which, by the way, now comes off press in Vera Cruz is indicative of one of the annoyances felt by the residents of Vera Cruz since the ice plant was put out of commission by shot and shell. The phrase NO hay hielo," translated, means "No ice" The poem is headed "At the Anteroom." It follows: Watch the prices jumping higher;
 See 'em putting on the screws, While we pay up and perspire
 Down in red-hot Veracruz.
 Chorus. No hay hielo! No hay hielo!
 Hear the sweaty walters yell, No hay hielo! No hay hielo!
 In the ante room of hell! See the correspondents scheming
 For to try to get some news. While they guzzle beer a-steaming
 Down in broiling Veracruz. Chorus: No hay hielo! etc. Hear the refugees relating
  By the weary watchful waiting
 They've put in at Veracruz. Chorus: No hay hieloi etc. Hush. The navy men are thinking
 Of Josephus and his views. While plain water they are drinking Nice and warm at Veracruz.  Chorus: No hay hielo! etc. See the army men a-tryin
 Not to openly abuse Mister William Jennings Bryan
 For the wait at Veracruz. Chorus: No hay hielo! etc. l could add a lot of verses,
 As suggested, by my Muse, But they all consist of curses
 She has learned in veracruz. Chorus: No hay hielo! etc.
