JEFFERSON HIGHWAY
ROUTE ELECTED
Bates County Committee Met
Tuesday Afternoon and
Mapped Out Route
Through County.

The Bates County Jefferson
Highway committee composed OF
G. A. Allen and Frank Ream, of
this city, and Sam Walls and
John Speer, of Adrian and H. P.
Robinson, of Rich Hill, met in this
city Tuesday afternoon and
mapped out a route through the
county for the proposed highway.
The route as selected by the
committee begins at the Vernon
county line between sections 20
and 81 and runs north following
the main travelled road to Rich
Hill, where it enters the town on
Sixth street. Turns west at Park
avenue to the cemetery, then
north on what is known as the
West Road to Butler. North on
High street to Ohio street then
east to the northeast corner Of the
square, then north three miles,
west one mile and then six miles
north to Adrian, which it enters
at the southeast part Of town and
proceeds west on Main street
through the town, then north past
the Crescent Hill cemetery, west
across the bottoms and then north
to the county line.
The committee then made ar
rangements for marking the tele-
phone poles along the route as
selected through the county. The
official marking for the Jeffer-
son Highway is a blue band six
inches wide around the pole, eight
feet from the ground and sur
mounted by a white band twelve
inches wide and then another blue
band six inches wide. On the
white band is black monogram
of the two letters, j. H.
The selection of route through
the county was a veXati0us prob
lem for the committee. There
were several proposed routes and
each route had it's friends, but on
ly one route could be selected, and
the committee went over each of
them and carefully considered the
claims of each and then designat-
ed the one that in their Judgment
would make the best 365 day in
the year road. Now that the route
has been selected through the
county it is time for all good road
boosters to take off their coats
and put the road in such good
condition that the jefferson High
way directors will make it a part
of that route.

Don't neglect your first cold, cough
or any Bronchial affection, this fall, but
commence treatment Immediately, and
through using the proper medicine, it
can be checked from the very start and
promptly cured, but ifneglected probab-
ly will hang on all winter; if it does not
develop into something more serious,
such as Pneumonia or Consumption.
True, there are hundreds, yes thousands
of cough remedies on the market: While
some are good, there are many which
are not. but are positively harmful, due
to the narcotics which they contain.
But why experiment with these different
remedies purely on the strength perhaps
