Road experts tell us that sand and
gravel are not surpassed by any ma
terial for country roa6s A dirt road,
first graded and properly drained,
then graveled is the equal of any
paving. But il is great zeal cheap

grade up the Gilbert hill, tea the
farmers, every time they came to
town. haul load of gravel back and
dump it on their grade, we would soon
have a macadam highway W the Gill
bert hill and the cost would not be
excessive. This is a plan that is
working out wonderfully in other
communities. The county fur
nishes the material, piling it where
the farmers can get at it, and they
haul it out and distribute il free

We cannot see why minority
should run the country to the detri-
ment of the majority. We are OPP
posed to government without repre-
eentation, and that is Just what the
election of commissioners in the
county from districts rather than at
large means. Probably no scheme of
government we can devise will please
everybody. Government by minority
will certainly not be just and equit-
able. The present system of electing
county commissioners has not proven
sufficiently weak to justify change
that is manifestly unfair, ard certain
to impose much more injustice.

WHERE MANKIND WAS REBORN

So the tale of the new birth, the

so profoundly penetrating to the

throughout Italy, was the one spot In
the world capable Of producing such
an epoch making upheaval Of human
consciousness.
And all this astonishing genius grew
directly out of-business The city was
peopled by men who manufactured the
neceSsaries of life, by merchants, spec

handcraftsmen Of every type. Busi

participation in the life Of the state,
and because they did not work the
mobiles were debarred from this.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6-The city
health department and the Western
Reserve University obstetrical depart
ment today are allied in a campaign
to decrease the infant mortality rate
in Cleveland. The plan, boosted by
local health experts, will be worked
out after a series of experiments are
completed at the university, but the
main idea will be to furnish valuable
instruction to women approaching the
motherhood stage.
Prenatal conditions brought death to
1883 infants during the last year here
OF these, 749 were dead at birth and
the remainder died within two weeks
of birth. More than majority of
these cases were preventable, health
experts declare. During the same
year 123 mothers died as the result of
child birth, a condition which could
have been avoided with modern and
scientific care.
maternity welfare centre has
been established near the university
and a remedy for the situation is ex-
pected to be arrived at within a few
weeks when a definite campaign Will
be carried on throughout the city.
