ATKINSON TAKES PLANT
SAND PIT WORKING THIS WEEK
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
is UNDER LEASE.

The G. III. Atkinson Paving COM
pany has taken over the sand pit and
washing plant at the foot of Harth
avenue which was installed by n. +.
Dingman this spring, and will oper-
ate it for furnishing the material for
the balance of the paving. The pos
session is in the form of a lease, and
was negotiated during the early part
of this week.
The work Of the plant has never
been entirely satisfactory to either
Mr.. Dingman, who had contracted to
furnish the great quantity of gravel
and sand. or to the contractors who
We're to receive this material. Work
on the street has been delayed i'm
part by the slow delivery of gravel.
The plant itself could not be properly
developed by the haste with which it
was put into shape for commencing
work early to this and other de
mands for material. This action on
the part of the principals in the
transaction makes it so the paving
company can either get the necessary
gravel in satisfactory quantities and
of acceptable quality, or makes them
responsible for the failure TO do so,
Mr.. Atkinson said last night.
During the early part of the sea
son the development of the pumping
plant to furnish the washer with
water gave considerable trouble.
both from the source of the water
and from the power installed for
pumping it to the high level for the
machine. Then, later this supply of
water was entirely exhausted. and
the supply in a new place was insult
ficient, making ii necessary TO aug
ment the supply with city water.
This had to be metered. and piped to
the place from a distance of about
two blocks.
The gasoline power used to drive
the washing machine proved unequal
to the work, and gave trouble dur
ing the earlier operation of the insti-
tuition. 1t has been only recently
that electricity vas wired TO the site,
and connected with a large motor.
that sufficient and dependable power
has been obtained for that machine
The work of paving has gone very
slowly for some time. both from the
fact that there was not sufficient
gravel washed ahead of the men on
the street. and because of the various
delays i'm its delivery. Last night il
was estimated that about half of the
necessary gravel desired for paving
had been supplied. The balance of
the amount will be supplied by the
paving company itself.

FOR THE Y. NJ. {. A.
MADISON WILL BE CANNASSED
FOR DONATIONS TO THE
FUND.

To the Editor: The people of
Lake county have been blessed with
an abundant harvest. The city of
Madison and her citizens are pros
pering as never before. We have
wealth. luxury. happiness and ease.
We are very ready to enjoy these
blessings, while we send our noble
boys across the water to defend our
nations honor and the peace of the
world. These boys give up all that
we enjoy; more than that, they take
upon themselves all the hardships,
agony and hazards incident to war.
We boast of our patriotism. Are
we patriots or mere p~retenders, if we
don't aid them TO the limit out of our
abundance? The Y. nj. c.. A., next. to
the Reds Cross, is the greatest, most
essential and grandest organization
that is assisting in the work of the
war. 1t provides religious. intellec-
tual and physical aid and comfort for
the boys. 1t gives them bibles. pa
pers and magazines, amusements
and recreation, and by providing
wholesome pastimes and entertain
ments i'm camp keeps them from the
temptations and evil that always Turk
around an army camp.
1t takes vast sums of money to do
these things. We must raise $4,000
in Madison tomorrow. Unless we
subscribe literally 10 this fund are
we as patriotic and loyal to our coun-
try as we should be? If we refuse
to do our share in this glorious work.
to contribute our mite to make the
weary, lonesome hours more endur-
able for our soldier boys. while we
ride in our autos. go to parties and
picture shows at home, are we as
good American citizens as we should
be- Do we really represent what
that flag hanging in our windows or
that graces the lapel of our coats
stands for? Think 1t over.

Much Fresh Ar Is Needed.

Trouble brings on heart conditions and lung difficulties, 1t is said. because there is then lack of fresh air taken into the lungs and the breathing is never deep enough. Therefore, to make 1t habit to breathe deeply, whether one feels like 1t or not, is one of the best remedies for the difficulty in hand, whatever it may be. Again. not only must past blessings be inven- toried. but hope must be held out, which will give one goal to work for. No one man or woman can live with out this aim in life. The joys or eavors in hand must be remembered, to be sure, but there must also be something ahead in view or there Is Q resigned state of mind which is un- healthy.

Improvement on "skis."

An increase of several yards in the jump of ski-runners is rather sur, prising result of the process of metal lizing objects by means oi spray. In Switzerland, coating of aluminium of the thickness of thin cardboard is be- ing applied to the ski-biades by this method, and this not only adds greatly to the durability of the bearing surface but it also very materially lessens friction, and tends further to prevent caking of snow on the blades. It is the diminished friction that lengthens the jump.
