county committee in Richmond few
days since for the purpose of getting
an appropriation from the county COM
missioners for the erection Of a tuber.
culsis hospital. The sentiment in
Cambridge City at the present time
seem to be against it owing to the
extraordinary expenses that would
have to be met In the near future,
such as the improvement of the Ma
tional road, the erection of the bridge
over Whitewater river at Richmond,
and in Cambridge City. especially, the
citizens will have to meet the burden
Of building sewerage system, and
the erection Of new school building.
For the above reason, the petition has
not been signed, and it is thought by
those who have given the matter the
most serious attention, that it will be
better to continue the present dis
pensary system through the county
agent Miss Kennedy, and the auxiliary
county organization of ladies, and thus
by education demonstrating the utility
of suitable hospital accommodations.
This will then lead to demand for
county hospital. !. :. 1t is deemed best
to pursue the educational course until
the public is assured Of the success
of the preliminary movement.

fectly fair and natural. In every phase of business today, except building, one knows in advance just what the cost of any specified piece of work will be.
 In building operation, as orGinari- ly conducted, no one participant is in a position to guarantee the work of all participants. The responsibility of the various contractors who execute diff ferent portions of the work is individ- ua1; the responsibility of each ends with the completion of his particular part; no one of them is in a position to guarantee anything beyond his own share or detail of the whole opera ton.
 Usually the owner proceeds without adequate guarantee of the limit of cost he does not protect himself against er- TOTS in plans. specifications and estl mates. If the discovery of errors necessitates extra charge later, he must pay them; if such errors go undetected his building may be defective and he may suffer from its diminished equity and earning power; of the plans ard specifications are slighted in execution, if mismanagement occurs. if the build ing is not ready to earn income when expected, he must suffer loss.

A building is to be considered a building. in its truest sense, only when it is complete in ev- cry detail, ready for occupancy, in per feet order to answer all the needs, and to fulfill perfectly the purposes for which it was designed.

 Philosophers and jokesmiths of all ages have had their various says about the man who puts his trust in fate. leaves his safe open and plunges blind- ly or otherwise into building opera tion. Today in the comic weeklies and in the dailies his troubles are made light of and he is as prolific a source of cheerful ridicule as a certain justly well known maker of motor car.
 A thing is tragic or humorous accord- ing to the point of view. The man who sits on tack does not share the
 onlookers' amusement. In fact, he is
 not only pained at his own misfortune,
 but he is pained because he occasioned some one else to find degree of pleas ure at his unseemly plight Now it is
 perfectly safe to make this positive statement in this connection: The per son who witnessed the others unfor- tunate encounter with the tack, never deliberately sits on the same tack him. self; in fact he is particularly cauti- ous about sitting down anywhere soon thereafter without looking for tack Nor is this an indictment of tacks. Tacks serve very real and useful pur- pose in this world. but they have their
 place. which is not in localities where they may be sat upon.
 Now let us apply the principles of the tack episode to building. The man did not sit on a tack. He built a house or skyscraper or a garage-it does not matter much-and when he finished, he discovered among other things that he was called upon to pay a great deal more money for the completed prod
