Who Will Be SuperviS0rS7
The Family.

During the month of January the
County Commissioners will appoint 81
men as Supervisors of Roads in Freder-
lex County. The new system, one man
to precinct or district, will 60 into eff
feet at that time. Mr.. Frank Stevens,
president of the Board. in an interview
with a reporter, is quotedas saying when
asked about the qualifications of these
new supervisors.
"No gentlemen of leisure need apply. I"
If the boss man can't 60 out on the road
and use pick and shovel like the rest Of
his employees, l guess we don't have a
job for him.
"These supervisors must have knowl-
edge of road making Otherwise the
county can't use them. Well make an
effort to select the men who have road
equipment, such as horses, carts, traction
engines, and the like. l expect that
quite number of these supervisors will
own traction engines and other machinery
that would come in handy in overhauling
roads.
"But don't forget these supervisors
must be able-bodied men, willing to work
and to rush this road making through.
We don't want any dudes on the job. We
haven't any room for them. And besides
they don't know anything about the job, "
"It will be the duty of supervisors to
rush the repair work to finish, weather
permitting. The road work the county
over should be completed in less than a
month, from 20 to 25 working days. 1t
will be simultaneous, and we will tolerate
no inexcusable delays"

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or 60 and help put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
a cough. A cough is danger signal as
much as fire bell. You should no more
try to suppress it than to stop fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure the
disease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
used it with the most beneficial results.
It is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best medi-
cine for breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any other. "
Obtainable everywhere.
