A list of twelve names, from each
district is used in making this calcula-
ton, and the lists are submitted. You
should examine the list and see how
small, what an infintesimal amount we,
individuals. would pay as compared to
the benefit we wound derive. But few
people, and none residing five miles
distant from market or railroad depot,
would pay as much tax as they would
derive in benefit by reduced wear and
tear on wagons, harness and teams. A
million. men can be found who live on
and adj accent to good roads that will
testify for their merit. How many can
be found who will say aught against
them? Not one, then why should our
people be longer deprived of this great
boon and benefit?

follows:
We had the weeds and underground

satisfactory manner.
Posts of white-oak set three feet in
the ground and five feet above, the
bottoms well covered with hot tar, and
the portion above ground painted with
two coats of good white paint, the size
of the posts are 4x6xS.
The fence IS of Pittsburg Perfect

FACTS AND FIGURES
ON ROAD BUILDING.
Authority on County's Finances Sub.
mitS Proposition on Permanent
Roads Now Being Proposed
for This County.

The following figures prepared by
one who knows every detail of the
county's finances have been submitted
on road building. They present the
proposition so plainly that child may
understand:
As basis for conclusion assume that
it will require bond issue of $3.50, 900
to build permanent roads from western
to eastern and from northern to south
ern boundaries of our county.
If this basis is accepted, an
nual interest on bonds would
amount SIP, 500 90
Cost of maintaining roads - 5000. 90
Making total of-$18,5 500 90
which is about the amount it costs to
maintain our present public roads. At
ter the third year the cost of mainten-
.ance would probably exceed $4,000. 90.
To build road east and west and north
and south through the county would
serve to materially lessen the total
mileage because the use of parallel
roads would. to some extent, be discon-
tinued and lateral roads to run into the
main roads would be used instead.
Report of auditor, who recently made
an audit of county books, shows cost to
our county of $259, 900. 90 to build and
maintain public roads, during the past
eight years, or an average Of $36. 500. 90
for each year. If it should be that a
like sum would hereafter be required to
build and maintain our roads, and by
building good roads the county would
save the expenditure, the saving would
pay interest on bonds, cost Of main
tenance, as estimated, and the entire
bond issue in twenty years, and do so
without an increase in value of prop
erty or increase in tax levy. To explain

The searchlights revealed long, thin
streak OF gray in the sky. A Zeppelin is
about 500 feet long.
1t is believed that this one was sent
out from the German Crown Princes
army for the purpose of dropping bombs
on the railway station at Revigny, an
important point for the moving of French
troops. A passenger who was on train
running from Barbecue to Chalons and
whose train was stopped at Revigny
caught an interesting glimpse of the air
ship:
AT the station saw the Zeppelin with
its searchlights picking its way in the
direction of Sommeille. The cannonad-
ing became more intense and the search
light disappeared. For a moment we
lost sight Of the raider. After few min
utes the noise Of the motors told us that
the Zeppelin was over our heads. Mean
while our own searchlights, sweeping the
skies in all directions, located it."
Two light guns mounted on automo-
bills opened fire on the Zeppelin and
gave chase to her. Their attacks were
without effect They fred twenty shells.
At about 10 o'clock, when the Zeppelin
was within two miles of Sainte Meme
hould. she came within range of bat
terry of the famous French 75-millimetre
guns, also mounted on automobiles.
They fired incendiary shells, designed
for the express purpose of setting fire to
zeppelins. The first shell struck the fore
part of the Zeppelin. but did not bring
her down.
Four carefully aimed shells followed
in quick succession, but failed to hit their
mark.
Then the sixth shell, fired by Adjatant
Granting, went fairly home. 1t passed
through the middle of the Zeppelin and
caused utter ruin.

TT is wonderful thing to destroy a
Zeppelin.
= The uncanny, superhuman powers
Of these scientific monsters of destruc-
ton, their capacity to exist in the hith-
erto unattainable heights of the upper
air, the death and devastation they have
suddenly brought upon hospitals, dwell
ing houses, women, children and nom
combatants; the way they have gen.
orally defled attack and pursuit, the ter
ror they have excited-all these are rea-
sons that make the wreck of Zeppelin
tremendous event among the allied sol
diers.
This explains why Adjutant Granting,
the head Of French artillery section
who destroyed the Zeppelin LII, is still
honored as a great hero in France, even
In a war in which heroes distinguish
themselves by the thousand and are for
gotten In day.
But even il the military importance OF
the destruction of the LIT were not
great, the weird, romantic mystery con-
nected with the episode would make It
of absorbing interest.
Who was the woman who sailed with
the crew of the LIT? In the wrecked
and battered cabin OF the airship, amid
piles of twisted machinery and frag-
ments of human bodies were found q
dainty pair OF women's slippers, bronze
colored and gold beaded.
In the slippers, horrible to relate, were
the remains of the woman's feet. The

plosiyes had completely destroyed 1t, put
the feet had in some way been sneitereo
from the ire.
who was the woman? No word OF ex.
nlanation has come from the German
side. although the loss OF the Zeppelin
with all her crew has been officially
admitted there.
was she the wife Of the commander OF
the airship? The rigid discipline OF the
German army makes 1t seem improbable
that AN officer would be allowed to take
mia wife on any such expedition. FER
hans the woman was related TO one OF
the generals or had influence with the
higher command. Was she princess or
the wife of general?
The airship came straight from the
direction of what was believed 10 De tne

II is possible that the Zeppelins have
made so many raids over French and
English territory and returned unscatned
that the crews and Germans generally
have come to regard their excursions as
pleasure trips.
Perhaps the unfortunate woman was
looking for excitement and was told that
she would have delightful evenings
excursion.
Madame" we may suppose the COM
mander told her. you will And the air
delightful up above the clouds, and you
win enjoy the fireworks immensely when

So she sailed away gaily on her ride
TO death.
II is well known to Americans who have
travelled In Zeppelins that they are pleas
ant to ride in. The cabins are well con-
structed and warmed and the motion Ia
gentle but exhilarating.
It was about $3.50 on very dark night
when the Zeppelin was first observed
from the French lines. She was picked
up by the rays Of French searchlight
at an altitude OF 5000 feet flying over

lights she would have escaped unnoticed
