How DID HE Know THE SIzE7
Happy Thought Comes to Assistance
Of Young Man Who Wished 20
Purchase Jeweled Belt

A man who had recently become en-.
gagged to charming young girl
CHANGED to be in a fashionable shop
when his eye caught a glimpse Of
jeweled belt that seemed to him an &C.
ceptable gift for his fancee. He asked
a clerk to place an assortment Of the
belts on the counter.
Ladies' belt?" queried the polite
salesman. Certainly, sir; what size?"
The young man blushed. Really"
he stammered. Il don't know" And
he gazed about him helplessly for a
moment or so. Finally a happy thought
appeared to strike him. Cant you let
me have a yardstick for a moment?"
he asked The yardstick being forth
coming, he placed it along the made
of his arm from shoulder to wrist.
Then, looking up at the clerk, he
exclaimed triumphantly. Twenty

I the Voters OF supervisor 8 DIS
trlct Number One:
IfIam elected as a member Of
the Board Of Supervisors, I shall fa-
vor the employing Of civil enei-
Ineer to lay out and and supervise
the construction Of the roads Of the
county. Each member Of the Board
receives about $4,000 per year for
the supervision and inspection Of
the roads in his district If / am
elected I shall favor having an en-
eineer to do this work, and also lay
out, survey and line up the roads,
and make estimates Of the amount
of dirt work to be constructed, or
moved, end shall favor giving him
the amount each Supervisor re-
ceives in his beat. for supervising
the roads in such beat, or as much
thereof, as may be necessary TO get
a competent man. and have the
roads built by the yard, thus giving
the county the benefit Of an expert
engineer, and not costing the cOun-
ty anything extra in the way Of sal
airy. / think the contract can be
let in small amounts, by the yard
to construct the roads, and thus
give the people who paw the tax an
opportunity to build the roads near
them, and have the work going on
all over the county at one time, UNI
der the supervision Of a competent
engineer, and by this means have
the roads built in the spring and
summer, and give them time to
settle and pack before the winter
rains, and the county pay for just
what it gets, by the yard. We could
also use the engineer to lay out the
work in cutting down the hills,
building pixies and bridges, and
have the cOnvicts to do a greater
part Of this work, and in my judy
ment make the convicts at least
pay the expenses of working them
and the county would get the benefit
of having the worst hills Of the
county graded down, and would
not be at the expense Of having the
convicts moved from one place to
the other, but on the other hand
they would be working all the time
on work that would be permanent
in its character. / shall do the best
| know how to attend to the other
duties of the office, and shall always
do what | think to be the best for
the general interest Of the county,

zEPPEuNS MAKE
ATTACK ON PARIS

paris, March 22.-Zeppelins air
shlps raided Paris and its suburbs
aid dropped half a hundred bombs,
but the damage done was unimpor-
tant.
Seven OF eight persons were in.
jured, but only one seriously.
-Four of the aircraft started for the
capital, following the valley of the
Disc, but only two reached their
goal.
Missiles also were dropped at Com
piegne, Ribecourt and Dreslincourt,
but without serious result.
Paris remained calm while the aer.
ial invasion was in progress. 1nhab-
itants of the city exhibited more curl
osity than fear of the results. Trum-
pets gave the signal that all lights
must be extinguished when warning
came Of the aircrafts' approach.
Searchlights we're turned. upon the
clouds, anti:aircraft guns opened fire
and a%eroplanes o to attack the
Zeppelins, but their IRE was handi-

WE SHOULD SMILE


The thing that goes the fartherest to-
ward making life worth while
That costs the least and does the most
is just a pleasant smile
The smile that bubbles from the heart
that loves its fellow men
Will drive away the cloud Of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too,
with manly kindess blent;
It's worth a million dollars and it does
mt cost q cent.
There is no room for sadness when
we see a CHEEKY smile.
1t always has the same good look
it's never out of style;
1t nerves US on to try again when
failure makes US blue
Such dimples of encouragement are
good for me and you.
So smile away, folks understand what
by a smile is meant
It's worth a million dollars and it does
mt cost a cent.

STATEMENT FROM THE
MINISTERIAL TNION

The impression seems to prevail in
the minds of the some people of Glas-
gov. that the various churches and
ministers of Glasgow intend to take
an active part in the coming city cleo
ton.
We, the undersigned minister's, wish
to state that our churches are not in
any n endorsing any candidate for
any Office. We believe that our peo-
pie are sufficiently intelligent to vote
without any dictation from us. We
believe further that it is outside the
sphere of legitimate church work to
engage in partisan politics.
Cordially,
