appraisement of the lots was filled

PRED. No action has been taken by
the board to raise the money and
the levy for next years taxes has
not yet been made. No meeting of

PURPLE CROSS TO BRING BACK
THOSE KILLED IN BATTLE

j. A. Tufts is an active member of
the Purple Cross and is constantly in
touch with the latest and most au-
tbentic information on the subject.
The Purple Cross is soliciting mem
bers in this district.
Untiring efforts of two Philadel-
phians have made 1t possible for the
bringing back to this country, for
burial, soldiers and marines who
may lose their lives while fighting
in France Following the war, ev-
cry man who is killed abroad will be
sent to this country and placed at the
disposal of his relatives or friends
Tor interment. Even should the con-
flict continue for several years it
will be possible, at that time, under
the present plan. to recognize the
bodies of the dead heroes.
A few weeks ago the American
Purple Cross association was formed
and incorporated under the laws OF
the District of Columbia. The asso
cations active membership is lin
tied to those who have made care of
bodies their life profession, and to
those affiliated industries. The
trustees and other officers are prom
inent men of the country, including
governors and milionaires, officials
of large manufacturing plants.
Discovering that no modern sys-
tenn had been devised by government
officials for taking care of the sol
dier-dead in France, officials of the
American Purple Cross association
Immediately held a conference with
Secretary of War Baker and present
ed plan that promises to revolution
ize and remove one of the most grew
some features from modern warfare.
1t was first suggested that the
American Purple Cross association
should bear the same relation to the
Quartermaster generals department
as the Red Cross does to the medical
Major General Henry G.
Sharp, quartermaster general of the
United States army, greeted the plan
with enthusiasm and series of con-
fcrences, covering the best part of a
week, were held in his Washington
,ffices.

REFRIGERATING MACHINE
BLEW OUT-NO DAMAGE

For the past week the ammonia
pressure on the refrigerating ma
chine at the Wayts meat market has
been climbing to $50 pounds which
is much too high. This morning
when Albert Benignus turned on the
valve to start the machine working
to cool off the refrigerator, he acct
dentally turned on the wrong valve.
Ammonia filled the room and could
easily be smelled across the street.
A gas mask was obtained at the
creamery and the gas was shut off
at the drum. No damage was done
except the loss Of the ammonia.

BACKACHE is DIsCoURAGING
But Not So Bad if You Know How
to Reach the Cause

Nothing more discouraging than
constant backache. Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you when
you bend or lift. It's hard to work
or to rest. Backache often indicates
bad kidneys. Abilene people recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read
this Abilene case:
Mrs. A. D. Sauer, 800 S. w. Fourth
ST., says: my kidneys we're in
dreadful shape and my back both
cred me terribly. ] felt worn out
and nervous and eoul dhardly do
my work l doctored faithfully, but
continued to get worse and / lost
weight rapidly. / happened to read
about Doans Kidney Pills and
tried them. They put me on the
road to recovery. My back became
stronger and my kidneys did their
work as they should. I feel better
in every way now and all the all
ments have been relieved"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Sauer had. Foster-M,lburn

WILL DRILL TEST WELL
If ACREAGE is SECURED

A. d. Lloyd, geological engineer
has just completed a thorough sur
vey of this territory for the Dickin
son County Oil & Gas company of Alb
ilene in order to ascertain whether
or not the county has chance for
oil and gas. The survey made by Mr.
Lloyd was extensive and he reports
the prospects very favorable. Con-
sidering that his company paid him
5000 a day during his inspection trip,
he evidently ranks high.
If leases can be secured on suf-
ficient amount of acreage drilling
will be commenced within a short
time. With the hearty cooperation
Of the land owners a thorough test
can be made. The drillers contem-
plate putting down three or four
test wells in the county In order
to do this they must first be assured
Of the required amount of acreage. If
there is oil and gas here let's have it.
1t can't be secured at the hands of an
individual; it is up to the farmers
who own the land to say, Here, boys,
fix up a lease for my land. If / can
be of service to you, in putting this
test we'll down, want to do it. That
is the only way we will ever find
cut whether there is oil and gas
around here" Now is the opportune
time to give Dickinson county a fair
test. Manager Chas. Kubach accom-
panied Mr.. Lloyd to Kansas City,
where the final arrangements will be
completed.

operating a creamery The roads in
that vicinity were built in 1913 to
1915, connecting with the roads to
Detroit Since the good roads were
built Mr.. Simcock states that the
value of the milk that he receives
at his creamery has increased $14,-
900 a year. Before the roads were
built his average price for milk was
S1.12h per hundred pounds of
whole milk. Now the price the year
around is $210. He says the average
cost of hauling 40 cans Of milk 5
mile on the dirt road is $3.50, while
the actual cost of hauling 20 cans of
milk to Detroit, 81 miles away, on
the improved roads is $4.25. He
says that one truck since the good
roads have come is doing the work
of eight teams before. He would
gladly pay $4,000 a year as an an
nual road tax If all the roads over
which he has to haul milk were 365
day roads He offered to give 5 900
10 anybody who would find farm
or in that section who was not in fay-
or of paved roads.
The general testimony of all land
owners along these roads was that
land values had increased from $25
to 800 per acre on account of good
roads The farmers living on these
improved roads can get their milk to
the city for 10 cents per can, while
the farmers living off these roads
have to pay 1 5 cents per can.
There was no demand among the
farmers for dirt road alongside the
paved road; they all seem to prefer
to drive on the smooth paved road.
They did say that the horses wore
out more shoes on these roads than
on the dirt roads, but they had no
complaint on account of the extra
cost of keeping the horses shod.
West and northwest from Detroit
Michigan, the farms along these roads
have been bought and laid out into
town lots as far as 20 to 80 miles in
the country. Cement sidewalks, cleo
trio lights, water works and a sewer
system are rapidly being installed on
avery lot in this entire new subur-
ban section and many handsome
dwellings, are being erected to ac-
the people from the cities
who have taken advantage of the
rood roads to get out into the coun-
yy to live.
The Kansas party passed over all
Iinds of hard surfaced roads. They
allied to see any good rock roads and ;
he best and most desirable and eco
lomical under such a heavy traffic
vas either brick or concrete, while
,ravel, oiled earth and asphaltic !,
nacadam would do for lighter traf
ic They all came back thoroly inn
ued with the idea that Kansas needs
65-day roads, is amply able to buy
hem, and that every county where
UGH roads are contemplated should
lvestigate the different types OF
Dads and select the kind that will |
e the most satisfactory in the end.

COMPANY MAY DRILL AT
FAIR HALF HOUR EACH DAY

Company H will proba bly, drill in
review at the fair grounds a half
hour each day during the period of
the fair. The fair association has
agreed to furnish the company with
good tentage on the grounds if it will
do this. Drilling in review would be
excellent training for the recruits and
this will probably be the last chance
that the population of Dickinson will
see the boys before they go to Fit.
