 The matter of trading some vacant land near the ceme- tery, which the town now owns, for other land adi0in- ing the cemetery and more suitable for this purpose, was referred to the cemetery com mittee with power to take whatever action they deemed best.
 It was suggested that "a movement be started to raise a fund by popular subscription to extend the concrete side walk to the cemetery. All en- dorsed 5 the suggestion but though it best to defer the matter until later date.

LIVER R-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the
 Effect of Calomel

Liv-ver-lax is one ofthe most important medical discoveries of recent years. For a long time, medical experts, reaIiz- ing the harmful effects of cal omel, have been striving to find a liver cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel, and yet be absolutely harmless in it's action. Recently this remedy was actually put forth by Grigsby in his Liv-ver-lax. Liv-ver-Lax is harmless vegetable compound designed solely for the treatment of liv- er complaints. The immediate favor it has met with in thous- ands of homes is positive proof 0f it's real value.
 If you feel worn out, tongue coated, and skin salloW, don't delay until it becomes danger ous, nip the trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-Lax.

y4 X BJhDER HsaD NOT A DESTROYER
Are you a builder, or are

which you live, or are you dl- Verting your efforts to it's ul- innate destruction?
 1t is one or the other, for there is no happy medium.
 You are either benefit to the town or you are a detri- ment.
 You are either a builder or a destroyer, and the responsi- bilty rests with you.
 Others know you as you are, but do you know yourself?
 Every town has within it's borders many excellent people who want to see their com munity advance and keep pace with the rest of the world.
 They want a larger and bet ter town, a more prosperous farming community, more gold in the pockets of every citizen, and they labor increasingly to this end. They are good citi- zens, and the great mass of the populace rates them as good citizens.
 They are Builders.
 But often the most persist ent efforts of the builders are more than overshadoWed by the other class-the destroy CTS.
 A destroyer can do in a day what it takes a builder a year to accomplish.
 And destroyers are legion.
 They travel in all walks of life and are exceedingly ac- tive.
 You find them among the rich property owners, the land ed proprietors, the business and professional man, the me- chanic and the farmer. You find them everywhere.
 They do not realize that they are destroyers-but they are. Many rich men and land- ed proprietors are opposed to any form of public improve ment because they fear that it will increase the amount of their taxes.
 AS their eyes are firmly fix ed upon the tax list, they lose sight of the fact that public improvements that increase the tax roll slightly likewise increase property values im- mensely.
 They oppose improvements and thereby become destroy CTS, placing the tremendous { weight of their hostile influ- 1. ence in opposition to the ad- yancement of the community. Then there Is a certain class )r0f men who carry around a Risoad of grouch which they let t pose upon every possible oc- 'osasion and without regard for in,1eir victims.
 lag They damn the town, and ' the people, and everything Band everybody but themselves. H u Eo mention civic improve zat ant to them is like shaking a % rd rag at a mad bull. 1aThey rave at all times at ev- # oIbody, and their rawlings wei on wings, and grow M d penetrate every section ot - country.

Astronomers Greatly Interested in
Latest Addition to Celestial Wonders.
A new comet is with us. IL isn't as
big as the famous Halley's comet or as
this crusty old earth with its wars and
politics, but as for speed, It has them all
skinned With clear road and no
slow downs, 1t averages 20 miles second
or 1900 miles an hour. or course, like
any other comet, 1t takes its spurts and
slow downs as a matter of daily routine,
but II during the time between your
breakfast and evening meal II hasn't COW
cred S64,000 miles, or approximately 81
times around this earth, 1t sees TO 1t that
this distance is made up the next day.
When first discovered by Mellish a Wis
consin astronomer, on February 10, the
comet was about SOC, 100000 miles away,
and, as they say on the race track, Com
ing strong. Scientists say that the suns
attraction was the cause of the comet
coming In this direction Discovered on
the 10th of February, It has swooped down
from space, passed under the sun, and is
tearing back into the same space. II will
never be seen again.
According to scientists, 1t is a very mod
est comet. 1t almost refuses to be seem
lust before the break of day, IL can be
seen way off to the southeast, near the
sun. The Frightening skies and prox-
lminity of the sun make the comet diff
fcult to see, but It can be noticed with
an ordinary pair of opera glasses or
small telescope. According to Prof
Charles Doolittle, of the University of
Pennsylvania, the comet will not he visit
Bile much longer except with powerful
telescopes, such as the one in the Lick
Observatory in California. That obscrva-
tory will be able to watch the movements
of the comet until 1t passes through Jupi-
