THE BANGOR ROAD.
Work VIII End With Repair OF
Hainesi HtlI. Is Report

The State highway commissioners, ae-
cording to the Bangor Commercial, say
that ~hen the short stretch OF road on the
top OF Haines' hill is completed, no more
work will be done on the Bangor Ellis
worth road this season. The Commercial
quotes Engineer Paul ID. Sargent OF the
commission as authority for the statement
that the commissioners have decided upon
the continuation of an automobile road,
commencing at the Canadian boundary
line aud working into Maine to Jackman,
n distance of srxteen miles. "This," says
the Commercial, ais througha wilderness
without residents, and absolutely without
military necessity or commensurate COM
mercial advantage. There is no place in
the State that offers worse piece OF road
to build. There can be no question that
q large amount OF money mi st be ex-
pended to build this automobile road from
the Kennebec river to Canada, and when
completed 1t will be bat slightly Travelled
In comparison with the road from Bangor
to Bar Harbor and Hancock and Washing
ton counties.
"From Waterville to Jackman, via Bing-
ham and Skowhegsn, Is ninety-one miles,
and why the highway commission should
give preference to this road through the
wilderness at q great cost, serving no
military advantage and at time when
conservation is demanded, over the COM
parstively inexpensive finishing OF Q road
that teens with travel to the great sea-
shore resorts OF Maine and that, as the
secretary OF war has said, is OF military
Importance, is beyond understanding
unless one should set ii down to sheer
obstinscy and perversity.
THE highway commissioners are not the
last court OF resort, for by the Legislative
enact msnt of . year ago the governor and
executive council are the final arbiters
when money 10 to be expended. Evidently
| all hope that justice will be done to
eastern Maine In this matter rests with
the governor and members OF the execu-
tive council, who should be swayed by
the demands OF economy, ccmmon-sense
military importance and the rights OF the
thousands OF people who are asking that
this great highway from Bangor to Bar
Hsrbor and Hancock and Washington
counties be completed and made passa BILE. >

b. b. Walker OF the Ellsworth Foundry
a Machine Works, local selling agents
for the Michelin Tire Co., says that the
average motorist has learned by expert
ence to take proper care OF the mechanism
OF his car, but he too often negiects his
tires.
Ordinary care accorded spare castings
and tubes is good insurance, and will save
the motorist both cash and trouble, and q
few suggestions, therefore, regarding the
proper care OF ties may benefit the reader.
For example, never carry spare tubes
unprotected in the tool box-they are al
most certain to come in contact with sharp
tools and perhaps greasy rags, or other
greasy articles, all OF which are deadly
enemies to rubber.
Exposure TO strong light and varying
degrees OF temperature is also injurious to
rubber, robbing 1t OF it's elasticity and
making IL brittle. Always carry spare
tubes In the water proof cloth bags sup
piled by all accessory dealers for this pur-
pose.

HALF SICK, HALF WELL
A Condition That VIII Not Improvs
Upon Itself.

In the Spring the depressing con-
dition that many call spring fever
often runs through families and
neighborhoods.
This indefinite, hard-to-describe
state Of poor health probably means
that you are thin-blooded and anemic.
Exhausted thin blood gets thinner,
low vitality falls lower, poor appe-
tite becomes poorer. Then the thor
oughly exhausted system can no
longer resist, and on comes the pros
trating illness or serious disease.
Treat the half-sick, Spring-tired
condition with that splendid course Of
medicine-Hood's Sarsaparilla, to
fortify the whole body; Peptiron, to
ironize and make rich red blood;
Hood s Pills to rouse the liver to its
regular daily duties,-and the half
well revives to perfect health.
Have You ever tried this potent
combination Of Spring medicinesf
Each is valuable in itself but is trebly
so when used in this combination as
regular course of treatment.

 hope it will interest the citizens of the county voters, white and col ored, to know of the work that is be-
 ing done in the colored rural schools. It is very gratifying to note the inter- est shown in each school by boys and girls, also parents:
 During the month of February, I visited every school in session, giv- ing industrial lessons to boys and girls, also many parents. The moth CTS and girls of the Tuckerman school have shown great interest in learning knitting. Due to the fact that the white women of Tuckerman have or ganized the Red Cross among the col ored women. They were only waiting for the material to come, and they will begin knitting for the soldiers. They seem very willing to do their part in helping make our soldiers more comfortable. Some of the mo- thers met me at night in order to learn knitting. It is also very pleas ing to note the interest among some of the teachers, in helping to com plete work to be taken to the State Teachers Association at Little Rock, for exhibit. Miss Susie Robinson's school at Irwin will present some good work, as will Mrs. Mamie Ridley's school at Tuckerman. l hope that other teachers will show the same in terest.
 The time for making gardens is now at hand. have begun orginiz- ing agricultural clubs among boys and girls, also home makers clubs among the mothers. The object of these clubs is to teach the boys and girls the fundamental principals in agriculture, best principals in garden ing, poultry raising, home science and home making. 1 hope that ev- cry farmer and home-maker will, act their part in producing their own food this year. The home makers are urged to grow sufficient supply of vegetables for home use through out the year; and for canning and drying As Americans have been asked to increase their food produc-

tion this year, I feel sure that every Jackson county farmer will do his part. There will be several meetings held at different schools in which a special agriculturist will speak to the farmers. The farmers are urged to lay aside all other business to be present at these meetings when an- nounced.
 Though this industrial work in the rcolored rural schools of this county is new, it must compare with other
