So far as known the following au-

entire staff of the Big Otto Wild Ami

Bingo, a black and tan terrier be-

Bingo mourned sincerely for six
days. On the seventh, still grieving,

5000 people, became one of the lead

and, with the entire change of tho

James Carter had come out to the

might gain a certain knowledge OF

Barney was the first to congratulate
Esther on her engagement.

Efficient CITY PLANNING,

1t must not be understood that the
artistic effect has always been the
only aim in city-planning schemes of
the old regime. There were excep-
lions, the most remarkable one being
the case of Berlin in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, when the
Prussian rulers practiced in = very
efncient and far-sighted manner city
planning on an entirely social basis,
working with powerful hands for tho
rapid opening and building up Of wide
and healthful suburban areas, With
out neglecting the beauty Of the oen-
trail district.
It is largely due to this powerful

ROAD DRAG IS INEXPENSIVE
Constant Attention 10 Price Of Good
Roads-Objection That Too Much
Money 10 Spent on Grader.
(By C. SCHULTZ.)

(By c. SCHULTZ)
I have watched the use Of the road
drag and the grader past my house
this summer. The drag leaves the
road in better shape-the grader pill
Ing roughage in the middle while the
drag smoothes it of nicely. But the
greatest objection is that the drag IL
not used often enough. Constant at
tention is the price Of good roads, and
the use of the drag is SO inexpensive
that good roads by it's use are obtain
able, or would be if the money were
not spent in using the grader with
four teams and five men. That's the
way the money goes.
