Beautiful Wheeling park, the popu-

May IS, according to an announcement
made yesterday afternoon by George
Crane, member of the firm of Griffith
and Crane, lessees. The park is to un-
dergo many changes in the way of i'm
provements between now and the
opening date and all the present
amusement devices are to be placed
in first cl SIS shape.
The swimming pool, which has
proven a popular asset to the resort,
will afford even better Accommodations
than last year. A number of addition
al bath houses both for the women's
and mems apartments, will be erected
before tie resort opens, while it is
also the plan of the management to
install a zoo. Efforts are being made
to secure birds, wild animals, all kinds
of reptiles, and ETC., and if successful,
this promises to be popular feature,
Especially with the younger folks.
A playground for the children is to
De made apart from the regular athlet-
ic field. All kinds of accommodations
for the children, including teeters,
slides, sand pits, giant strides and
other forms of amusement will be
erected. Comfortable seats will be in
stalled for the mothers.
First Picnic.
Triadelphia district schools will be
| the first to picnic at tie park. Plans
have been closed for union picnic on
Saturday, May 20, two days after the
opening date, and as in the past, all
| the schools of the district will no
doubt be we'll represented The dis
riot field day will be held at this time
for which handsome prizes will be
awarded by the school officials. The
i park management has also agreed to
make donation towards the prizes.
The field day will include every sport
on the athletic calendar. A baseball
game will be one of the chief attrac-
arranged later between two OF the
school teams.
Benwood and McMechen schools will
also picnic at the park a short time
later. Prof. Peddicord who is arrang-
ing the program, is as yet undecided
as to the exact date but it will likely
be the week following Tridelphia's
picnic. The Masons, United CONNER
cial travellers have signified their in
tentions of holding their outing at the
park, but as yet the date has not been
definitely decided. The latter will
probably select July date. Stone &
Thomas employees will picnic on June
22nd.
"The outlook for the coming season
is the brightest in the history of the
park" said Mr.. Crane Many inquir-
les are coming in daily for reserva-
tions and in order that the churches
and larger organizations may have
first choice, he is extremely anxious
that those interested may make ap-
plication early. The firm has opened
quarters in the German bank building.

KENTUCKY FIRST TO IMPROVE
Spent Money for Construction Of
Roads Over Half Century Ago
Had Highway Engineer.

It Is often said that the use of state
money for the construction of roads is
of quite recent origin. The New Jer-
sey state aid law Of 1891 is sometimes
referred to as the first instance Of
such use Of state funds in this coun-
try. AS a matter of fact, state money
was spent for such purposes more
than 70 years ago. Kentucky paid
out over 100000 for road improve
ments between 1920 and 1910, under
the direction of a state highway en-
gineer, who drew a salary of $1,000
a year, a very large sum for those
days. The roads built then were "a
to 30 feet wide between the bitches.
The surfaces were constructed of bro
ken stone, and the bottoms were Of
large stones wedged together to make
what road builders call a telford foun.

this work stopped. When 1t was re
suaed in 1908 such a long period had
elapsed since the earlier state-aid

lines Of travel in the early days were
the shores Of great waters and the
rivers and canals. The railroad build.
ing era followed close upon the peri
cd of the river steamboat and fol-
these and other reasons the highways
of the land were neglected.
One of the most powerful of the
agencies now at work for better roads
is the automobile. The country owes
a debt to the motor-driven car for max.
ing insistent demand for adequate
highways over which to travel.
The expenditure of these many mil
lions of dollars will benefit the people
very greatly by helping to convey farm
products to market and thus to some
extent it will make living cheaper and
more comfortable, says Chicago News.
Moreover, the country with an abund-
ance of good roads within it's bounda-
ries is more easily defended when
threatened from without. The best
result of all, however, will be the
quickening of intercourse and intelli-
gence and the unifying Of this great
nation, which as yet is too much given
to sprawling physically and otherwise.

Of the Work-a-Day World.

Have some sort Of fad for the sake
of recreation, even If it is nothing more
than making a collection of moths and
butterflies.
You need something to relieve your
mind, something which will bring
thoughts different from those you must
have in the work-a-day struggle.
However, do not become so interest.

croach on the time necessary for sue.
ceeding in your business.
In adopting a fad, select something
light and restful, not so deep as to give
you brain flag; for choice, something
which will take you out into the open
air and give you exercise.
There is nothing more beneficial to
most people than walking. Take hikes
into the country. This is better done
with definite purpose. Go and get
back within a given time; have a def
mite destination. Walk fast. Don't
lag.
Study the birds in your locality
their names, haunts, and modes of liv.
ing.
Perhaps you get enough exercise
with your daily grind of work. If
so, take up the study of some sub.
ject which will improve your mind.
Brain work is just as necessary to
health as physical exercise.

life. It works out well.
