ROCK ROAD ACROSS KANSAS
Formulating Plans to Improve Old
Trails Route.

A plan to orck the Old Tails Road
across the state Of Kansas is being
formulated among boosters and will
be launched at the national conyen-
ton of the road in Harrington, Kan.
this month. The chance to get feder-
al aid has given the movement great
impetus.
Under the Hodges law the town
ship pays 25 per cent of the cost and
the county pays all engineering costs
and for all bridges costing more than
5000. The attorney general of the
state has ruled that the county may
also pay any portion of the remain
ing cost that it sees fit to assume.
With township, county and national
aid, the adjacent property owners can
offer no objection to their share.

DICKINSON'S VALUATION
STANDS WITH COMMISSION

The Dickinson county valuation
as made by the county assessors
stands without change. according to
a letter received by County Clerk
King from the state board of tax
commissioners. The board passed on
the county's tax lists last week and
found them correct.
The report was received with Joy
by the county clerk and city officials
for it means that no changes will
have to be made in the lists as they
now stand. Had the assessors re-
turns been changed all the records of
the county officials would have had
to be changed to conform with them.
The total Dickincon county valu-
alton as returned by the assessors
was $46.S9S.6O5.

FELL FROM CIRCUS TRAIN
ARM OFF AT THE SHOULDER

Solomon Tribune: John Boyd, a
member of the Yankee Robinson cir
Gus crew, fell from the train in some
mysterious manner near the T. Rior-
dan farm early Thursday morning.
Mr.. Riordan heard his screams and
went to investigate. He found Boyd
lying on the right of way with his
right arm nearly severed at the
shoulder. Mr.. Riordan and one of
his men brought the injured man to
town and the arm was amputated.
The circus manager wired the attend
ing physician to give Boyd every at
tention. He is now at the Pacific
house. He is unable to explain how
the accident happened.

PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES
No Bread Tickets for Americans i'm
Case of Invasion According
to Investigators.

There will be no necessity for
bread or meat diet restrictions in the
United States, in case of invasion by
any foreign foe, because the Ameri-
can farmer is prepared for emergen-
cies. This is the lesson drawn from
an agricultural preparedness survey
just completed by Rock Island lines,
as a voluntary contribution to the
movement for Industrial prepared
ness, inaugurated by the Naval Con-
sulting board.
Emergency increases Of from 10
to so per cent in the supply of bread
stuffs and pork are possible in most
of the central Mississippi valley
states, according to statements made
by directors of a dozen state expert
ment stations, and published in the
July issue of The Southwest Trail,
the Rock Islands official farm maya
zine
In summary of the survey, atten-
ton is directed to the economic leaks
in American agriculture, such as the
losses from animal diseases estimated
by Secretary of Agriculture Houston
at $212,OOO,O0O annually; the short
age of potash due to temporary shut
ting off of the German supply, the
necessity for more live stock on every
farm to conserve soil fertility and re-
lieye the worldwide shortage of beef.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT BOND
ELECTION IN SEPTEMBER

The board of education will in the
month of September ask the people
to vote on proposal to issue bonds
to extend and improve the school
system of the city. The sum for
which bonds will be asked will be
approximately 100000.
The money is to be used in the
erection of large and thoroughly
modern high school building. The
present high school building will
then become part of the elementary
schools. 1t will be used to accommo-
date the seventh and eighth grades
at present cared for in the four
rooms on the upper floor of the Gar
field school. 1t is to be distinctly I'M
derstood that the need for enlarge
ment on the part of the grades is
quite as urgent as that of the high
school.
The proposition will be placed be-
fore the people in as complete and
definite form as possible. The build
ing to be asked for will be fully out
lined and preliminary drawings will
be on view in public places. While
the architect has already been select
ed, everything is contingent on the
result of the bond election and there
will be no expense to the community
if the bonds do not carry.

Your Brain Must Have Pure Blood

No more important physiological
discovery has ever been made than
that the brain requires due supply
of pure blood. 1t is estimated that
this organ receives as much as one
tenth of all the blood that is sent
from the heart-a great deal more
than any other organ of the body.
If the vitality of the blood is inn
paired, the blood then affords the
brain an imperfect stimulus and
there is mental and physical lam
guor sluggishness or inactivity.
Pure blood is blood that is free
from humors, 1t is healthy blood,
and the term pure blood as it is
generally used means blood that is
not only right in quality but also in
quantity. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
pure, rich, red blood This Is one of
the great truths about this great
medicine.
