VIII Try Calcium
Chloride on Road

Mayor J. A. Turner Of Albion. and
his neighbour A. l.. Burgett the banker.
are going to try an experiment by
using calcium chloride on the road in
front Of their places Of business. The
chemical has cementing quality, is a
water absorbent and is said to be a
success on all kinds Of macadam roads.
1t is nearly half again as cheap as
crude oil to buy.
Mr.. Turner Is an enthusiastic road
booster and believes that hard roads
are the only thing that will save the
business Of the small town. He has
kept track of his sales in his drug
store for months and he finds that
when the roads are good his business
is good, but when the roads are bad
his sales fall away.
Good roads bring business to my
store" says Turner. ''and want them
to come quickly"

size that it can be used for the pur-

building in which to hold festivals,
social parties and public meetings for
discussion of matters of interest to all
farmers generally.
On Thursday April 9th, the last
Thursday in the month, a public pro-
gram will be rendered, which will in
clude addresses, and after which ice
cream and cake will be served during

will promote good fellowship under
