Addlnp Homo ComfOrts.

The homes of Harrington are grad
ually getting the town water, the
electric light service and the comforts
with which running water in the home
follow after their installation, and the
Deople realize that the home cOnven-
fences for their women Is helping to
make life better for all the family, as
well as giving health opportunities
through convenient bathing and toilet
comforts. The home of Mrs. Elizabeth
Tharp had the electric service placed
in it this past week.
Bad Roads Have Injured Business.
The business of Harrington alone
has been injured fully $4,000 during
the winter season just closed, by rea-
son of the awful condition of the pub
lie highways. This is bringing the
cost of bad roads directly down to the
people of the towns themselves. The
business men are paying for the bad
roads by great falling off in their busi
ness, which means that much money
IN the shape of profits they never will
get, lost to them forever. Can we
afford to remain longer without con-
crete roads? Can we longer see loss
of business recurring each year, which
means loss of cash profits to the bust
ness man, by reason of roads which
can not be used for hauling or traffic
of any kind? Let all the people think
over this, and be prepared to get law
changing the roads over to Public |
Highway Department. and then bor-
row the money and build the roads |
now, and use them while we are living. |
Muddy roads won't make any differ /
ence to us after we are dead.
