COMPLETING CURB
AND GUTTER WORK

The curb and gutter forces under
Mr.. w. ]. Ratcliff are on the last block
of the curb and gutter work, this be-
ing the Hotel Bryan and Gordon
Sewall blocks. This will be completed
by tomorrow night and wind up the
curb and gutter work. The plan of
the City Council to put the curb and
cutters on the streets intersecting Main
street back to the property line did
not pan out, as the property owners
did not agree to pay half the cost.
Nearly all of the concrete crossings
have been removed to other streets
and are being used as crossings. This
work and the surfacing of Main street
will be almost completed by tomorrow
night, thus leaving the street ready
for rolling, which is the next process
in the paving.
City Engineers Carson and Adams
will make their reports on the curbs
and cutters to the City Council at
their regular meeting Friday night.

There is nothing like printers ink

Recently we took occasion to say
something, editorially, about how very
much we were in love with real pork
sausage, also that We hadn't seen any,
much less had decent taste, for ages.
A good friend in the city land he
threatens to beat us half to death if
we tell his name), took pity on our
lonesome condition and fetched us a
bounteous supply of the real article
At the same time he added pound or
so of old-time cracklings and there is
no use to suggest what is going to
happen when our better half finally in
vites us to seat at her table before
all this good truck. We know this is
going to infuriate our old friend

Claude Callan of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram has handed out piece
of advice that would put the churches
and preachers squarely into politics.
He says the length of sermons should
be regulated by the salary of the
preacher-good pay, a short sermon;
poor pay, long one. If that would
not be politics pure and simple, we
would like to know what you call it.

 The cutting of the German telegraph and telephone con- nections and the severance of the German transatlantic ca ble virtually cut Germany off from communication with oth- CT countries. Reports from France, Belgium, Holland and Russia, however, showed that Germany's armies were stead fly moving forward east and west and that her advanced posts were in contact with the opposing Russian and French armies.

 Tokio, Aug. 5-The Jap anese premier, Count Olku- ma in an interview today, expressed his regret that the United States had not been able to mediate in the European conflict which, he said, if it continues means the destruction of western civilization.
 Japan, he continued, would be happy to join the United States in attempt ing mediation but that her possible participation in the war as an ally Of Great Britain makes her an in terested party.
 The premier said that Japan, if she were reluc- tantIy compelled to inter vene, would protect the British colonies but under no circumstances would she. send a fleet or an army to Europe.
