New Year Resolutions.

New Year Resolutions.
Resolutions, resolutions!
Nothing else we hear:
Let us see their executions,
In the coming year.
Swear off parties. swear off drinking
swear each Sunday you will pray: :
Are you really. really thinking
vi your promise yesterday?
Papa throws away his smokes,
Mama doesn't lace so tight.
Riddle sisters stop their Jokes,
kiddie brothers do not fight.
That's the way we rave about
The newly born year:
l wonder how it will 20 out?
Not half SO well, l fear.
Back in Fifteen we confessed
We would stop all petty strife;
Now old Sixteen's gone to rest.
And nothing's changed our life.
When Seventeen goes down to death.
The same old song you'll hear:
Well breathe the words with our last
breath,
Just watch the bright New Year,,
Mortals in all walks of life
VIII toll and moil for fame;
They'll enter in eternal strife
For fortune and a name.
1t makes no diff the place or date.
All resolutions die;
Seventeen will meet the fate
vi other years gone BY.
Resolutions. resolutions!
Nothing else we hear:
Let us see their executions
In the coming year.

Women! It's Cheap!
Use Lemon Juice
and Make Lotion

To keep your skin and complexion
naturally soft, white and clear at all
times you simply must use lotion or
cream every day But choose the one
that is best and costs the least
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable beauty lotion at about the
cost one must payfor small jar of
the ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the lemon Juice
through fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautiier.
Just try this lotion! Make up a
quarter pint Of this sweetly fragrant
cream and massage it into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should
naturally help to whiten, soften. fresh
en-, and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of the skin
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons.

MINOR LEAGUES
IN HARD STRAITS
Several OF the Smaller Baseball Or
PLANTATIONS May Not be Able
to Finish the Present
Season.
MAY TAKE SOME ACTION
Meeting OF Minor Executives VIII
Probably be Called Soon
to Discuss the
Situation.
[BY H..sC. HAMILTONJ

limited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 12.-Baseball
In the minor leagues, by the frank
admission of "A. R. Tearney, presi,
dent of the Three-I league, and the
more or less frank admission OF
Jpther league presidents, is tottertng.
Replying to the suggestion by
Tearney that, to save money and
protect title to players now under
contract, a meeting of the presi-
dents should be held, in order to
take concerted action, the sentiment
is divided Some of the executives
feel the step should be taken. Others,
while admitting the seriousness of
the situation. are reluctant to go so
far. A few decline TO enter into the
suggestion. Thomas j. Hickey, presl-
dent of the American association, ex-
pressed the opinion that such step
would be advisable.
Ed. G. Barrow of the international
league, an organization which has
gone through more trouble than any
other league lin the country, still be-
lieves it is the best thing to pull
through If such thing is at all
possible He objected to the joint
meeting proposed, believing title to
players would be hard to retain.
r. H. Baugh, president of the
Southern association, said the
weather has been good and attend
ance everything that could be e1-
pected IN his circuit. The Eastern
league viii weather the storm, in
the opinion of President Dan O'Neil.
Conditions. however. have not been
overly good in this organization.
J. Y. Jamison, Jr.. president of the
Blue Ridge league, reported that his
circuit already had disbanded. Bad
weather, the prospect of war tax
and the depressing influence of a
war spirit, all had their effect in pro-
ducing this result, he said.
J. w Morris, president Of the
Texas league, favored the idea of the
meeting and wrote that bad condi-
lions had already forced his league
to drop two OF its cities, Beaumont
and Galveston. He was Of the opinion
THAT the circuit would be able TO
make it the rest of the year.
President Braham of the North
Carolina league, also had dropped two
cities and was heartily in favor OF
the meeting.

TWO MILLIONS
FOR ROAD WORK
Iowa Due to Receive Big Gift From
Uncle sam With Which to
Fix up the High
ways.
HOW PLAN WILL OPERATE
Selection of Certain Available Num-
Der Of Miles In Each County
VIII be Made for
Road Work.
HOW PLAN WILL OPERATE

Iowa is due to receive something
like two million dollars for road work
from the federal government. The
following concerning the operation OF
the federal road aid is taken frcm
bulletins sent out from Ames:
The ninety-nine counties OF Iowa
are due to commence receiving the
$2192,000 cooperative road fund from
the federal government. The money
is not to be used for making military
roads, coming as it does along with
the preparations for war in many
other directions, but it is to be spent
by the United States to demonstrate
in each county of the state what a
real road is.
Chief Engineer Thomas Macdonald
of the Iowa highway commission said
today that the two millions and a
quarter will serve mostly as an edu-
cational fund, providing some well
built roads in every county as a
model and an encouragemen for the
good roads movement.
The government money will be
spent over period of five years. 1t
really doesn't amount to much as 4
lump sum when it is compared with
the huge sums which the state has
been spending annually for road i'm
provement and work which really has
been non-improvement, but it will
furnish a stimulus for the better
road idea and an example for properly
spending the $4,000. 000-a dollars
worth of real road improvement for
every dollar spent.
How much road can each county
build with it's share of the United
States fund? Where the designated
mileage is all ready for gravel the
county can make about fifteen miles,
that is if the gravel is available
Where the mileage is not even put
to grade, twenty miles or more may
be put in condition for the surface.
The fve-year period already is
under way. The act making the fed
eral appropriation went into effect
July 1, and Iowa is on the first year
and waiting for opening Of summer
weather. The state commission is
making plans for the work. The fed
eral office of roads must approve the
work done, but the approval given by
the state commission very probably
will be accepted in Washington with
out question.

Cooperative Plans.

Under the federal cooperative
road plan the boards of supervisors
of the counties shall select the mile
age not less than 1000 and not more
than 5000 miles. Selection In each
county shall be equal to approximate
ly one-third of the county road sys-
tenn, in the same manner as the selec-
ton of the original county road sys-
tenn. Only the most important roads
and those which will fit into a com
prehensive system of highways for
the whole state shall be selected.
Special attention shall be given to
connections between county seats
and connecting the federal co-opera-
tive road systems of adjacent coun-
ties Preliminary selection shall be
made and hearing held, as in other
road matters, not later than June l,
1917.
AS soon as maps, petitions, plats
and records of boards of supervisors
showing designations of these county
systems are received by the commits
sion, the commission will proceed to
examine and pass upon such sys-
tens. If approved, an official map of
the county system will be supplied
to each county auditor. The board
of supervisors will then make appl-
cation to the state highway commits
sion for the countys apportionment
of the federal fund This application
must be accompanied by definite
statement of what portion the county
system 1t is desired to improve, to-
gether with specific statement of
the nature of the contemplated i'm
provement.

One From Each County.
Only one project will be considered
from each county. This project
should be large enough to require the
county's entire allotment of the fed
eral fund for the entire five-year
period. A project consisting of sew
eral disconnected pieces of road will
mot be approved except where the
disconnected portions are separated
by an Incorporated city or town. Pro-
jects should start out from or radi.
ate from the most important towns
of the county, or should start at The
county line and extend continuously
as far as funds will permit.
The improvements must be SUBJ
stantial in character. The specitica-
lions of the state commission must
be followed. When surfacing is con-
templated the petition must state
specifically what type of surface is to
be used. Necessary bridges and cul-
verts shall be built by the county out
of county bridge money or county
motor fund.
Before contracts may be let for the
work, the commission will send plans
to the government office for accept
'ance. The state commission and
probably federal bureau will be rep
resented at the lettings.
The s2,192,000 will be handled
