FISCAL COURT MET MONDAY

The fiscal court had a meeting
Monday and the members spent most
of the day talking about pixies and
how to manage them and keep them
in repair. All of the magistrates were
present and after much discussion it
was unanimously agreed that the
pixies be divided into sections of
three to four miles and have farm
ers living on them superintend the
work, the court to recommend the
work to be done. Quite a number of
farmers have already pledged their
services to look after sections near
their homes and if sufficient num-
Der will agree to do so, the work
can be done for much less than it
would cost to have a regular road
overseer. An advantage of having a
number of men look after small p6r-
tons of the pixies consists in the fact
that work can be done when it is
found necessary and the overseer
will not have to ride all over the
county to get to the work. Then too,
there would likely be rivalry among
the men in charge of the roads,
many of whom would take pride in
having their sections show up bet
ter than the other fellows The I. J.
hopes the plan will prove satisfac-
tory one, for if there ever was
time when road work was needed it
is now.

A HINT TO THE AGED

If people past sixty years Of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days. they would
recover much more quickly, especial
ly if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious illness.

ABOUT CONSTIPATION

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea, and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples
and bananas, also graham bread
and whole wheat bread promote a
movement of the bowels. When the
bowels are badly constipated, how
ever, the sure way is to take one or
two of Chamberlain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, December cotton
goods and yarns were very quiet to-
day and prices easier. Wool markets
were dull; burlaps quiet, raw silk
easier.
Some attention was attracted by re-
ports from the goods trade that
French and Belgian commissions had
purchased quantities Of goods that
had been held in stock for the War
Department, but which were no
longer needed for war purposes.
Otherwise reports from the goods
trade were considered rather unset
Ting, as mill production was said to
be curtailed in some sections to pre-
vent Accommodations of goods.
Reports that the members of the
ship control committee of the United
States Shipping Board have rendered
destinations to take effect January l
were considered a further indication
of the general improvement in ship
ping conditions.

Gun DISCHARGED,
DOCTOR INJURED

DR.. Hurd had his head in bandages
the first of the week and he was
mighty lucky to have head to band
age, as you will readily agree when
you read the story, says the Lodi En-
terprise:
DR.. and Mrs. Hurd and daughter,
with friends from Deerfield, went to
Okee Sunday to spend the day with
MI. and, Mrs. Charles AXon at the
summer abode of the latter. In the
evening at about o'clock L. w. Hull,
McFarland's garage foreman, drove
UP to the Axon place. DR.. Hurd
stepped out to talk with him. Hull
had been hunting and had an auto
matte shotgun in his car. All Of a
sudden, without anyone knowing
what caused it, that automatic COM
menced to discharge and did not stop
until the five shells in the barrel had
been emptied. The. charges first went
through the curtain of the car, and
the doctor, who was standing ON the
ground, received wounds just above
and a little forward of the right ear.
He dropped to the ground as if his
head was off-but that was only the
first effect Of the impact. He quickly
gathered himself up, went in the
house and gave himself first-aid treat
ment, and then drove home, where DR..
Groves dressed the wounds. Five
shot had entered the head, and all but
one were gotten out that evening.
The doctor has been UP and around
every day, but for few days he put
his dental patients ON the waiting
list" He had a close call and does
not care to repeat it.

WAR RELIEF
FUND CANT A|GN

The governor has issued plocla-
nation urging Wisconsin to give full
support to the United War Work cam
paign which will be conducted jointly
for the Army Y. NJ C. A, the Y. w. G.
A, National Catholic War Council,
Jewish Welfare board, War Camp
Community service, American Library
association and the Salvation Army.
The amount that Sank county will
have to raise of this fund will be ap-
proximately $40.000.00. The Sank
County War Relief committee has
agreed to pay this amount as Sank
county's quota The subscribers of
the Sank County War Relief fund who
have done their full share will not be
asked to contribute during the cam
paign for the United War fund which
will be held during the period between
November~11 and II. The Sank Coun-
ty War Relief fund committee, in June,
started a campaign for the raising of
100000 for all war relief purposes.
and a schedule was determined upon
which subscriptions should be made.
Because of opposition to the plan
there are a number of people in Sank
county who did not subscribe at that
time, and there were others who did
not subscribe their fair share accord
ing to the schedule. The committee
has decided that these people who did
not subscribe their fair share to the
Sank County War Relief fund should
be given an opportunity to make sub
scription during the week Of the Unit
ed War Fund campaign. The commit
tee will require all subscriptions to be
dated back to June 1st, 1918, and six
months of the amount subscribed paid
at the time of making the pledge.
Those who have not made fair sub
scription may arrange with the COM
mittee or solicitors to secure cards
for their pledge and make their pay
ments at this time. The plan en-
dorsed by the government is practical
ly the same as that adopted by the
Sank County council Of defense, with
the exception that the Sank county
fund also includes subscriptions for
the Red Cross. This plan now has the
endorsement of the government, ana
there should be no objections on the
part of anyone. Let every person in
Sank county do his duty in this re-
spect. The funds are needed and will
go to the relief of all American boys
irrespective of nationality or creed.
The committee says the subscription
cards have been carefully checked,
and those who have not subscribed a
fair amount will be called upon to
make subscription, unless they volun~
tarily come forward and pledge an in
creased amount. Every person can de-
termine what the fair amount is and
should voluntarily increase without So
licitation. Those who are delinquent
should attend to this before the open
ing OF the campaign.
