them TO send man mp. The cost IS
very nominal and q worthy cause Is

CITY WORKRoo""oor IS
NO LONGER NEEDED
CITY MANAGER NAGLE PROPOSES
A PLAN WHEREBY 1T MAY BE
DISPENSED WITH
He Asks tho Board of County Commits
sioners to Board MI City Prisoners
In the County jail

With the idea in view Of closing the
city worlkhouse for an Indefinite period
md thus saving considerable sum Tor
the taxpayers Of Wheeling. CllE Man.
aver George o. Maggie yesterday, made
n proposition to the county commission
ers to board all city prisoners In the
| County, jail. No action was taken by
the commissioners. hut they have the
matter under consideration.
! At present there are but twenty-five
prisoners in the county jail and but
twelve in the road gang. The city has
only twelve men in the workhousc. and
It Is thought that by feeding them all
at one place that money can be saved
Sheriff Hastings Is allowed but hfty
cents a day by the county 10 feeu the
prisoners. In the Jail. and sixty cents
day for those who are employed IN me
rnnd gang. The United States govern
ment also phys fifty cents day for all
Federal prisoners kept In the county in
stitutton.
With the present high cost or food
stufrS. Sheriff Howard Hastings SAID
! Yesterday, that he has hard time TO
keep the cost Of three meals Il day Tor
the men within that limit. and That IL
he had not bought number or innings
that are used in large quantities some
time ago, before they had hccn adVahceu
that it would be impossible for him 10
feed the men on the amount he Is al
lowed.
In some counties In the state, ME-
Hastings said. the shcrifTs take thc't
prisoners out to restaurants where they
arc supplied with meals at hftccn cents
each. Under this plan it costs Dut
furty-fvc cents n day to feed the men
but this practice is not allowed In this
county.
IF the county accepts Mr.. NaEles pro,
position Il will save the city several
thousand dollars a year. for the TOUR
people now employed AT the workhouse
will be dropped from tho ctty's paFroii
and there will be n big saving IN coal
and lights.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION !:
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar of or
binary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces Of orchard
white. Care should be taken 10
strain the juice through a fine cloth
SO 10 lemon pulr gets in, then this
lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove s;.ch
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it. Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly
fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It should naturally help to
whiten, soften, freshen and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. 1t
is wonderful to smoother rough,
red hands.

Speaking of the treatment often
given white children by negro nurses
person who has had opportunity to
observe remarked the other day that
as early as seven a. m. children some
times are taken to negro cabins and
LETT there, in surroundings not al
together ideal or conducive to COM
tort and health, until dinner time,
when the nurse goes back for her
charge and makes her wav to the
home of it's parents for dinner. and
then abou. 2 +. m. the rurse again
brings the helpless infant to the ne
gro hut and leaves it there until
night. The mothers of course SUD-
pose that their children are getting
the benefit of outdoor life all the
time, and congratulate themselves on
getting the children out earlv into
the blessed sunshine and light and
air. These are not pleasant facts to
reclte, but maybe the telling will
help to provide better treatment for
some helpless ones who are too
young to speak for themselves.

In the record published in Mon
days Robesonian of claims for ex
emption from army service made by
or for various registrants Of the
first call in Robson division No.
the name Of Mr.. L., E. Blanchard
appeared, the claim being made by
B. w. Kilgore, of the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, on the ground
that he is in the employ Of the Unit
ed States. That was the brief rec.
ord given, but in justice to Mr.
Blanchard it is fair to say that he
made no claim for exemption for
himself. He is farm. demonstration
for Robson, having served accept
ably in that capacity for several
years, and number Of prominent
men OF the county put in claim for
exemption for him on the ground
that he can be Of more service in
the work he is doing here than any
where else. These claims were made
without solicitation on Mr.. Blanch-
ards part: the gentlemen who made
them acted on their own initiative.
AS farm demonstration of course Mr..
Blanchard is working under the ma
tional Department Of Agriculture,
which pays half his salary. 1t GER
tainly seems that the services of a
man doing the work Mr.. Blanchard
is doing are needed too badly for
him to be taken for service at the
front. Not the least important part
Of the struggle is to be fought on
the farms, to raise enough to feed
The armies of the United States and
It's allies. Mr.. Blanchard is doing

lal efforts might prove at the front

1T DEPENDS ON HIM

1t is to be hoped that it will be
possible for the county road com:
missioners in the near future to Sc
cure the services of a competent
road superintendent, Mr.. Rainey hav.
ing resigned to enter the officers
training camp at Fort Oglethorpe
The law requires the employment OF
"a superintendent recommended by
the State Highway commission, but
it is unfortunately true that the COM
mission is short of men and it is
almost certain that there will be de-
lay and difficult i'm securing the
right man. Upon the employment
of competent man to fill this all
Important position depends the fate
OF road work in Robson. If the
road board is able to secure the right
man and will then turn the
work over to him and hold
him responsible for results, then
one may have reason to hope
for good roads. Unless a coed road
superintendent is secured it would
be hardly reasonable to expect sat-
isfactory results. .:...
In the very nature of things the
members of the road commission are
not expected to have the expert
knowledge necessary for BUILDING and
maintaining good roads. They arc
not paid to give personal direction
and oversight to that work, even if
they had the expert knowledge nec-
essary. 1t would be unreasonable to
expect it of them.
1t will not he possible to enlplov
such a man as the State Highway
commission is likely to recommend
Tor any nominal salary. 1t will be
economy to employ a man who can
command high salary elsewhere,
and 1t is going to be necessary to paw
a good salary to get the right man.
But the man who is willing to work
for small salary is not the cheap. |
est man to employ, as has been dem |
onstrated time and again in road
work in Robson.
At its meeting on the first Mon
day in this month the road board
passed an order, to the effect that
each member of the board contract
roads in his district as ha sees Chest
Tor road patching and dragging, SUBJ
Ject to the approval of the board at
ITS next regular meeting. That was
when the question of whether or not
MI. Rainey would hold on was un-
settled. With the right sort of man
as road superintendent such an order
would not be necessary; such matters
would be left to the road superin-
tendent' and better results might be
expected.
