One of our readers makes the
following good suggestion:
Now that we are going to spend
$50, 900 to improve the roads in
the Mansfield Special Road Dis.
trict, We hope the money will be
spent to advantage and make ev
cry dollar count, inexperienced
help will lose us many dollars.
Everyone knows that has had
experience in road building, that
the proper width road he'd and
drainage, cannot be made on 30
feet and if the farmers in this
district would get together ard
agree to set their fences back
and give 40 foot road way it
would be one of the best acts
they ever done. 1t would give
the Commissioners a chance to
do good work and be a great im-
provement to this vicinity. A
number of our farmers have ex-
pressed their willingness to give
the necessary 40 feet. We should
get right before commencing to
spend the money. 1t will be like
any other public improvement,
you would not have it back the
old way for double the cost. For
instance here in Mansfield what
would we take for our concrete
walks and electric lights and go
them. Who will start
the 40, foot roadway move? Don't
wait until it is too late and then
say it should have been done.

Few medicines have met with more
favor or accomplished more good
than Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. From q
small beginning it's sale and use has
extended to all parts of the United
States and to many foreign countries
Everywhere it has received unstinted
praise. We confidently believe that
it has relieved more pain and suffer-
ing and saved the lives Of more peoF
pie than any other one preparation
in use. One or two doses of it is
enough to relieve an ordinary attack
Of collie or diarrhoea. It has been
used in many epidemics of dysentery
with perfect success. It is especially
valuable for summer diarrhoeas in
children. Every family should keep
it at hand as attacks Of cholera NOR
bus often result fatally before medi-
cine can be procured or a physician

COUNTRY LIFE IN ENGLAND llrD .as
IS ONE OF WARS VICTIMS
BY WILBUR s. FORREST.

BY WILBUR s. FORREST. r.
London, Aug. 2s.-This is the open
season for castles, manor houses and
mansions in England.

gentleman is quitting. He's hanging

Country life in England, for which
England is famous, is one Of the real
victims of war. The country gentle
man forsaken the fox hunt, the shoot!
ing and fishing, coaching and golf.
He's either off to the battle field or
he's cutting down expenses and hum
dreds of them are quitting for good,
If an American millionaire, cut
cunning for something in castles or
manors, should visit the real estate
agents in England today he would
find the British castle and manor mar
ket overstocked with still heavier
supply Of mansions and smaller vari- !
eties of aristocratic strongholds. He
would find them abutting the Thames
near London, stretched along the
shores of the historic Avon and dot
ted here and there from the vicinity
of the beautiful Midway. in Kent to
the Severn on the English West
Coast. He would find them in North
England, Scotland and Wales, and
could have his choice from among
twenty types of architectural, historic
and modern. He could rent them or
buy them with dozen to thirty bed
rooms and with dozen to thousands
of acres to be used for recreation or
sports. l.
If this American millionaire doubt
ed that the business of being an
English country gentleman is getting
unpopular he could motor two hours
from London and find a great Geor4
gian mansion with 1900 acres that
abound in choice hunting and fish :
ing. The acres and the mansion are
for sale or rent. He could take a
train to Berwick-on-Tweed, in Ber-
wickshire, and find an historic old
castle with it's 4,618 acres stretched
along the Whitadder with it's fishing,
it's hunting, it's three packs of
hounds, its 18-hole golf course, deer
parks and drives, for sale, bag and

not suit, he could return to London,

an hour to the North of the Metro-

The Young Man of Today.

1t is we'll for young men to know
that dollars are like ducks-one fol-
lows another-and though they may
waddle along slowly and with SOME
effort, they will eventually get there.
We have young men in Bemidji
who are just starting out on the road
to life, but where that road will lead
is for them to say.
They are earning a few dollars
now and as time progresses their
earning capacity will increase. If
the early accumulations are thrown
to the birds it is more than likely
that in later life the buzzards will
roost on the graves of their ambi-
ton.
But if their first dollars are care
fully laid away in a we'll sewed pock-
ct, and this lesson of thrift and fru-
gality is fostered and encouraged,
then in time the bank will become
the depository of their earnings and
accumulations and eventual wealth,
and the eagle will soar over the heads
of successful men.
Those who waste today will squan-
der. tomorrow, and tomorrow is the
agent of the devil and the prime min
lister Of hell.
Keep an eye on the young men OF
Bemidji, but keep both eyes on those
who spend wisely but not foolishly,
who are full of life and ginger but
never carry it to excess, whose eyes
are fixed upon the eagle and not up
on the buzzard
Like the waddling duck, they may
advance slowly, but they will get
there in time. ~..
