PLANNING FOR PERMANENcY

The road to the oil field is worse
now, | believe, than ! have ever seen
it before" said an oil man last night.
DESPITE the fact that vast amour
of work has been done on the road
from first to last, a few weeks OF
rainy weather makes it almost i'm
passagle with autos, and this con-
dition puts much emphasis upon the
efforts of the state highway com
mission OF this state, which has de-
voted its energies to obtain perma-
nency in road building
Federal aid is confidently expected
and state aid is a possibility, and
those roads that obtain aid from
either the nation or the state must
be properly laid out, the foundation
must be properly built. These sourc-
es of road building will not be
wasted upon roads lily laid out, and
through the efforts of Mr. Suggs, the
different counties OF the state have
this in mind in laying out roads.
Should such aidsnever come, the
counties will receive more than the
value of the cost in their work.
Looking to this end, Mr.. Suggs
has written the following letter to
James r. Taliaferro, chairman OF the
board of county commissioners OF
this county, who has been placed in
charge of the road from Ardmore TO
the oil fields
The letter follows
oklahoma City, Jan. u, 1915.
Mr. James II. Taliaferro,
Ardmore, oklahoma
my Dear Sir: | notice you are go
ing to have charge of the work on
the road to the oil fields, and am
writing you, expressing the hope that
you have employed good engineer
to establish proper standard grades
with a view to laying a foundation
on which--if the contingency arises
we will be justified in asking fed
eral aid when such Is available.
1T has been demonstrated to me
time and time again that with grade
stakes set and protiles to 20 by, at
least twenty per cent more
work can he secured and a hundred
per cent more efficiency
II fully appreciate the fact that
this is work done by funds raised
through pubic subscription and my
recent object in writing is purely
from the standpoint of citizen of
Ardmore, who desires to see that
there be no wasted energy, but that
every move made be along perma-
nent lines
at is possible that a state aid
fund will be available at some early
Oats, In which case we must be In
line for our share. Other counties
are keeping this fact well In mind.
and are adopting systematic meth
ods.
III can be Of any service in the
matter, you know you can command
me at any time.
Yours very truly
SIDNEY SUGGS.

TRIBUTES

Trees hang out their leafless branches
In the cold midwinter air;
And upon them snowflakes nestle
With kind, protecting care;
While the sere grass in the meadow,
Gov ring all. earth s sleeping things,
Feels the warm and sure protection
That each how ring snowflake brings,
Little wild things of the forest
Patter safely to and fro
On the mantle that is lying
Where the flowers used to grow.
Nature is bounteous giver;
Every season shows her care.
Ev Try bird and beast and flower
In her wise protection share.
Memories of the little Christ-child
And his ministry divine,
With the brilliant holly branches
And the evergreen --ntwine;
And, as nature pays her tribute
With these offerings, do we
Bring our homage on Christ's birthday
As we tri mthe Christmas tree

THE IMPORTANCE OF
- HAVING YOUR BABY'S
=. rs BIRTH RECORDED

= The record Of the birth of every
child is matter Of great Importance.
Many Of the answers to the most vital
questions that may hereafter be pre-
sented to your child will depend upon
this record. Many children and adults
have been deprived Of heritage because
their parents failed to have their birth
recorded. Payment Of life insurance
policies are frequently fastened by.
properly recorded birth certificate. En-
trance to schools, especially in crowded
cities, frequently depends upon the pre-
sentation of copy of properly re-
corded birth certificate Important
positions are often dependent upon
proof Of age and nationality, and there
is no proof as positive as properly
recorded birth certificate.
Are you sure the birth of your child
has been recorded? In order to make
yourself doubly assured of this fact ap-
ply to the State Board Of Health for a
copy of the birth certificate. Preserve
it for your child.

SCHOOL LEVY FIVE MILLS

The maximum levy for common
school districts for maintenance is ten
mills, (which is the law in Idaho at
this time, according to information
given out Monday by Assistant Attpr-
ney General Coffin in reply to an in
quiry from the northern part of the
State. =
In 1913 the legislature passed two
acts, 1T is explained, amending section
81 c., of the schools code, in one of
which it fixed the maximum, levy for
common school districts at fifteen mills
and in the other at five mills. At that
time the attorney general 8 office ruled
that the five min levy was the law and
this ruling was followed by school dis
tricts, although in some instances
school districts considered fifteen mills
as the limit and levied accordingly Out
of this situation grew the case in which
the Supreme court held that five mills
was the maximum, under the law as
enacted in 1913.
In 1915, however, the legislature
amended section 81 c., school code, and
fixed the maximum levy for common
school districts for maintenance at ten
mills, which is the law in Idaho at this
time.

ALCOHOL WILL NOT BE
SOLD AFTER JANUARY

Those who want alcohol for scien-
|tific or mechanical purposes after the
first of the year, will in all probability
be obliged to obtain it from without
the State. The Boise druggists have
decided not to handle it, except for
compounding prescriptions. To keep it
for sale they would be obliged to obtain
a federal license, which costs $25, and
a State and county license at an add
tional expense of 5000, with possibly
a city license in addition. They have
been advised that senate bill so only
repeats those acts and parts of acts
in conflict Herewith and the license
provisions, as applied to the sale Of
pure alcohol for scientific or mechan-
ical purposes.
AS there is little profit in the sale
of alcohol, the druggists are not dis
posed to go to the expense of taking
out licenses. They can obtain what
alcohol they require for compromising
by permit from the probate judge, the
same as any other applicant, but should
they keep it for sale licenses would
be necessary.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-12-16
Must Have Permit

The law requires those who desire
to purchase alcohol to obtain per-
nit from the probate judge who must
be satisfied with the good faith of the
applicant. The permit can only be
used for one purchase and copy of
the permit must be conspicuously at
taehed to the package. 1t must. also
be used within twenty days after tho
date it bears, otherwise it becomes
void. The holder must retain the per-
nit for at least one year. A copy Of
the permit must also accompany the
shipment and the transportation com
panies are required to keep record
Of all shipments OF alcohol or wines for
sacramento purposes.
