STATE CENTER ROAD DONE.
Large Road Grading Project Finished
With Federal Aid Money.

The ten-m;le road grading project
on the county road from point
southeast of I.amoille, where the Lin
coin higway and the county road d.
vides. thru State Center to the Story
county line, now is finished The
work, which vas done with the help
progress all summer, and it is de-
clared to be Ole of/the best pieces OF
road grading ever attempted in the
county. The mile and orc-half Of road
inside the town limits Of State Cent
er was done by the town.
All of the hills have been cut to a
permanent grade Of not to exceed o
per cent, and the steep hills on the
east and west road east Of State Cent
er have all been eliminated. In the
fills the roadway is twenty six feet
wide, and in the cuts twenty -four feet.
Some Of the ills are high, and some OF
the cuts are deep, as there were some
stiff grades on this road before it was
partly graded several years ago by the

quite soft and will Gu. easily when

highway from the eastern end Of the
new work to the city limits, a distance
of about six miles, for which the
county will receive federal aid, but
whether labor conditions next season
will make it possible to do this can
not now be determined. This end OF
the job includes some revision of the
road thru the timber at Haynes grove
to eliminate some of the curves and to
widen the road. 1t Is probable that
when this section Of the road IS
graded that 'four-mile" hill will be re-
vised and regarded in PAL: to eliminate
more Of the bad curve al the foot OF
it. The completion Of this section of
the road also includes, like the other,

WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY
Next Important Step 10 To Insure
Safety Of Ones Family.

The soldiers have made the world
safe for democracy: life insurance has
made it safe for the wives and chill
dren. The records of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York show
that sixteen policyholders died Of old
age while 2,736 died at premature ages
during the past three months. Life
insurance is the best investment a sane
man can make until he has an insur-
ance estate large enough to take his
place at his death. That is why all
successful bankers are heavily insured.
Use the savings bank to pay the
premium: use the premium to save the
family. A policy in the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York will
create an immediate estate in event Of
your death, an income for life in case
Of disability, and an endowment for
your old age. Let us show you policy

Thinks It Parachute From Arplane

w A. Dixon, s West Lincoln, clerk
at the Bargain Store, picked up on the
street, while on his way home Monday
night, an article which he will keep
as a souvenir OF. the peace celebration.
The souvenir is parachute, 3x5 feet in
dimensions made in Japan OF heavy
red. white and blue paper in the shape
of an American flag. To the bottom
was attached an iron weight which
kept the parachute righted as it fell.
Mr.. Dixon was attracted to the para
chute by the noise of its falling short
distance ahead of him. He thinks it
was dropped from some airplane, altho
the suggestion has been made that per-
haps it came from a very large paper
balloon which was sent up from some
other town. and was released when the
balloon collapsed Cor lack of gas.
Wherever it came from Mr.. Dixon has
an interesting and pretty souvenir of
the peace celebration.

would rush forward suddenly with

Heavy losses were sustained by tnt
