CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
Inn AND NICK NEAPIV OIJAPPEI

Jim was as usual very compliment
tary about my dinner, and Dick said
that 'Fthe Restaurant de Waverly is
the best in the city, which pleased
me greatly.
After dinner l left the boys and
slipped into the living room. l could
not help hearing a word or two of
their conversation, especially as
every once in a while one or the other
seemed to raise his voice in annoy
ance or anger.
The first thing l heard was Dick
saying, CD it, Jim, l think you
are presuming on my friendship" l
could not hear what Jim said, but
again Dicks voice rose:
'Cut it out, old man, cut it out.
Evidently Jim was not going to do
anything of the kind, for his voice
rumbled on. At last caught the
words: But, old man, hate to see
you go to the devil"
who says l am going to the devil?

abruptly.
''Margie has said nothing" an
swered Jim. 'Tn fact, she has shown
so serene a face that l am not sure
that any of this gossip has reached
her"
"Meddling old cats" was Dicks re-
mark.

PARIS GUARDS THE CHILDREN
City Very Much Alive to Necessity Of
Protecting Unfortunate
Little Ones.

Letters from Paris speak enthusi-
astically of the manner in which the
French authorities have taken up
their duties toward the children of
the cities where war has claimed the
fathers.
Among the first measures passed
by the municipality Of Paris was an
order to put the children to school
at once. This kept them off the
street and made them safe under
the control of the authorities. Of
motherless children, whose fathers
had gone to the front, the state at
once took charge. The necessary in
formation was obtained as well as
conveyed through the "arrondisse-
ments," or districts, of the city.
These children were as a rule,
picked up and sent to the country
under proper supervision.
This paternal care of the children
of the city, pending their fathers
sacrifice to the nation, was rendered
all the more necessary because, with
the departure of the men with the
army, the women, for their own
sakes and that of the families, as
well as in order to supply general
municipal need, have gone out into
the world without hesitation to re-
place the men in most of the voca-
lions which they filled.

.OILING STREETS AND THE
ROADS COSTS BUT LITTLE
ID. L. Morton. of This City, With the
STANDARD Oil Corporation. Tells
Columbia Club.

~Oiling Dirt and Gravel Streets,
was the subject Of an informing talk
by D. L. Morton.of Mexico, district man
ager for the Standard Oil Co, who
spoke at the commercial club lunch
con Thursday, says the Columbia
Tribune.
There is an asphaltum base to the
|crued oil now used in oiling streets
aid roads and the road oil used is
more dense than that used some years
ago in California when oiling roads
first came into general practice. The
"slush oil as it is called is the refuse
OF the crude oil after valuable ele-
ments are extracted. 1t is com
pounded with asphalt so that il is
heavier than water and will penetrate
the ground, bind the dust, and shed
water. The road oil penetrates four
inches or thereayouts. The surface
is not hard, SO that noise is not OBJ
jectionable, and dust does not hy.
The oil used is made and tested that
not over 3 per cent Of the oil evap-
crates in As hours when subjected to
a heat of 1876 degrees in an oven,
at the plant. That makes it sun
proof to a large extent, and it does
not eyaporate much.
A road oiled for. two years will go
the third year without oil and hold
up in pretty good shape. 1t is inn
portant to get the dust off the street,
sweep it down to hard soil, and then
oil. Oiling should be done during
hot weather. Fifty per cent Of the
road oil is asphaltum. 1t weight 8
3-10 pounds per galoln.
It costs about S 1-3 cents a run
ming foot to oil a street 80 or 40 feet
wide.
The Standard Oil Co., also makes
a filler for brick streets that is still
thicker and more denser han the
road oil. The filler oil is used to
pour on top of a worn brick street.
1t makes an asphalt-like street. The
filler costs S12.75 per ton.
To oil a country road requires
about 5000 gallons per mile, or J
cost of about $50 per mile. This is
for the oil, delivered here, and haul
ing and applying must be figured in
addition.

RUSH HILL COUPLE WE'D
HERE 10 P. N. FRIDAY
Fl Paisley and Miss Bessie Beagles.
Well Known Here We're Married
at the Court House.

Friday night at ten o'clock, Re
corder Stephens was awakened from
his-pleasant dreams and rushed 10
the court house to issue a marriage
license 10 Ell Paisley and Miss Bessie
Bcagles, both of near Rush Hill. Mr..
Paisley is a young Rush Hitler and is
very popular in that section. Miss
Bessie Beagles is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe Beagles who
have one of the largest farms in Au-
drain county. The bride has attended
Mcmillan High School and is also a
graduate of Hardin College. She has
many friends in Mexico. all of whom
will be a surprised to hear of her we'd
ding.
Mr.. Stephens, who is a personal
friend of the Beagles thought the af-
fair very important and insisted that
all of his family go with him to wit
ness the ceremony. They consented
and he took his wife, daughter, Miss
Ellen, and his nephew. Curtis Steph-
ems, of Shenandoah, Iowa, with him to
the court room. He found that the
anxious couple had the minister all
ready at hand and after the scratches
lad been placed on the paper all
looked around for a suitable wedding
room. It was suggested that the cir
cult court room be chosen because of
its largeness and its digniied appear
ance but on a second thought it was
pronounced unsuitable because it is
the place to get divorces and not
marriage. A brilliant mind conceived
the idea Of converting the ladies rest
room into a suitable place. A few
chairs were moved and all was ready
for the marriage ceremony. The Rev.
W. A. ShulIenberger united the cou-
pie with one of the prettiest
monies ever heard in this city and
then Mr.. and Mrs. Paisley rushed fof
their automobile and returned home.
Besides the pastor and Mr.. Steph-
ems and his family there were at the
wedding: Miss Fern Juelphs Of this
city a friend of the bride, VIM. Doolin
and wife of Rush Hill who accompan-
led the couple to Mexico in the auto
mobile; and Mr.. Nisbet Livingston,
secretary of the Recorder.
The young people will make their
home in Rush Hill. Their many Mex
leo friends wish them much happi-
ness. Z

TO BUILD
ELECTRIC LINE SOUTH
Marshall Rust Offers Commercial
Club Proposition to Extend Elec-
trio Line Southwark.

Marshall Rust, president of the
Mexico Investment and Construction
Co., submitted a proposition to ex-
tend the electric line fourteen miles
south, to near Browns corner, at the
weekly luncheon Of the Commercial
Club, Friday noon. The main idea
Of Mr.. Rust is to benefit Mexico and
the surrounding country. Ma Rust
stated he was willing to hear any
proposition that would build the road
and then he gave the club his idea
of how it could be best accomplished.
He proposed that the citizens of Mex
leo raise $4,000, which would be only
a part Of the money necessary 10
make the fourteen mile extension.
Mexico has all the wealth that is
needed to build the road, ever to Col
umbia and such an extension is sure
to bring large returns to this section,
in time" Mr.. Rust said.
Then he told the club that the
trolley wire had been strung all the
way to Santa Fe on the north part of
the line and the track is being laid as
fast as the weather will permit. He
was sure the cars would be running
to Santa Fe sometime in the next
sixty days.
Mr.. Rust also stated the road to
Moline was self-supporting and the
amount Of business would more than
TRIBE when the line reached Santa
Fe.
The matter Of extending the road
southwark was submitted to the board
of directors and the Railroad com
mittee for further consideration at
the earliest possible date.
VIM. Pollock, president of the Rail
road Committee presented correspon-
dence from the Burlington Railroad
informing the club that the Burling-
ton would build no line through Mex
leo this summer.
