a DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac

cane sugar to a seHi-liquid form.
InIsSS Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
Doz-der form with extract of matted
grains, UifhOut cane sugar.
This product HoRLIcK named
Matted MIX. (Name since copied
by others.) It's nutritive value,
digestibility and ease Of preparation
10y simply stirring IN water) and the
fact that It keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy

GOODaROADS MEETING AT
BlENVILLE WELL ATTENDED

At the good roads meeting held at
Bienville Saturday afternoon, Aug. .,
W. d. Golf, police member from Ward
], addressed a large assemblage of
citizens upon the subject of the Par
ish-Wlde Bond Issue. Attorney Golf
had just returned from New Orleans,
where he had gone to confer with the
State Highway Department to learn
what steps were necessary to obtain
state and federal aid for road build
ing purposes in Bienville parish.
In opening his address he stated
that every one present and those not
present were bound to cOncede the
necessity of good roads which at pres
ent are all unknown quantity III Bien.
vile parish. He stated that every.
body wanted good roads, but there
were differences Of opinion as to the
best way to get them. He then ex.
planned why the bond issue offered
the most logical solution of the prob.
lem.
|
He showed that the public service
corporations, nonresident property
holders and incorporated towns not
subject to assist in road maintenance
were assess at two-thirds of the total
assessment of the parish and would
therefore pay twO-thirds Of the cost
Of the roads. This Of course leaves
only one-third to be paid by the farm
ers and those living outside the towns.
He also stressed the fact that the
State offers to assist us in building
every road connecting county seats to
the extent of putting up a dollar
from the State by the side of every
dollar the parish raises for this pur.
pose. He also explained that the
Federal Highway Department will
! give dollar for dollar with the parish
on all roads that are rural routes or
star mail routes. He stated that in
order to obtain this aid from the state
and from the Federal Highway De-
partment, 1t would be absolutely nec-
essary to place the building Of tho
roads under the supervision Of the
State Highway Commission.
After hearing Mr.. COTS explanation
of the proposition, many who had been
opposed to the bond issue expressed
themselves as being heartily in favor
of it.
A meeting will be held at Ringgold
Saturday, Aug. 9th, for the purpose Of
explaining the proposition to the peo-
|ple of that section of the parish.
Among those present at the Rien-
! vile road meeting were several mem.
bers of the Police Jury and School
Beard, and number Of citizens from
Gilsland, Bryceland, Arcadia, Sparta
and other points III the parish.
