HARD ON AUTOMOBILES
Until Snow Came to Help FIJI up the
Ruts, This Thoroushfare Was
Almost an impossible
One.

| A herd of cattle, a January thaW
followed by a cold wave, and a road
which is affected first by the tina"
and then by the cold wave, make a
combination which cause grief for the
automobile driver In fact, this com
hination has succeeded In making
one of the roads In Hancock county
almost impossible for machines. The
snow, however Is helping somewhat
to put the road, which is the one from
Hamilton to Carthage back into a
little better condition.
It was one day last week or week
before when one of the January
thaws arrived in this vicinity. On
| that day farmer drove 119 head OF
lcattle from Keokrk to Carthage
They spread out all over the road
and the entire width Of the thorough
fare is chopped up by hoofs.
Persons who know about such
things will tell you that cattle on q
soft road will do more to wreck II
for driving over than any other
agency, unless perhaps it might be
dynamite At any rate these 119 cat
tie put the Carthage road strictly out
Of business, because the cold wave
which followed froze the tracks, and
made innumerable humps all over the
road.
Auto drivers who have attempted to
use this highway since the journey
| of the cattle over it, have succeeded
| in losing all the religion they ever
had, and have not been able to nego
tate the road without considerable
wear and tear on the machines. The
tracks lead out from Carthage some
distance as well, and this road Is, in
bad shape.
The snow last week, however, will
help to some extent to fill up the
holes and will make the road little
more passable.

Gymnasium girls was indeed a sue
cess. At $3.50 o'clock, eighty-five
girls, with the secretaries, president
and gymnasium committee, sat down
at four tables in the association cafe
TERRA
The scene was lovely occasion,
i with the table decorations in red and
white, and with candle light.
At the three long tables the bust
ness girls and the high school girls
sat opposite each other and much
Imerriment was caused during the
evening by the clever song and yells
sent back and forth.

Miss Nutting then explained the
idea of the war-the high school girls
to be the House OF Lancaster with the

the white rose as theirs. Each side
is to rally to their forces as many girls
as possible for gymnasium classes by

Catarrh is as much blood dis

removed by simply local treatment.
It breaks down the general health,
