Spending Money
in a Good Cause

The following story from the Sol
omonville Gazette is applicable to
some other towns not a thousand
miles distant from Phoebe:
'For five years our town was in
bad
1T was about as popular with au-
tomobile owners as watered gasoline
and all because Main street was more
like a plowed field than street. 1t
was SO rough that Bill Henderson s
boy. Sam, and the Crabbins boys
made a pretty good thing out OF
picking up the bits of springs ana
nuts and things that jolted OH ma
chimes passing through.
Automobiles always passec
through. The people in them scowlec
and cursed at our town. Eddie swan
sons candy store and the Elite calt
never did any business with motor
lists because the motorists were to'
mad to stop.
"Our state had built fine pavet
highway up to our gates on poIi
sides and then our Main stree cam
| in for the rest of the highwa
through the town.
zone day Eddie and Dick Burbee
who own the Gloria garage, and wv
or three others got together IN TN
Elite cafe and they decided ina
something had to be done apou
Main street. For five years we ma
lust said oh, let it go-we don
use it much anyway So some tai
was started about raising money an
the newspapers took 1t up and ou
town was in the public eye. the
we just had to pave that street An
we did.
"Now most Of the motorists ste
for a little. while as they con
! through and some of the old-time
! make it a point to patronize u
l Gloria garage, and the Elite ca
does a better business than II ev
hoped to do.
1--WE are glad we subscrib'
enough money to pave Main stree
and the only thing we regret IS IN
we did not do it four or five yea
ago. 1t is nice to be up with I
. times and to be thought well OF
other people"

tain parts Of Lincoln county. An
letter from Ca!iente says
there are nineteen cases in that town,

Henry Lee Of Panaca stopped al
the Delmue ranch one night last week
and a few days later was taken Ill
Last Tuesday Mrs. Lee was also dowr
with Influenza.
Eight members of the family o
David Cook, living about four mile
north OF Caliente, are also reported
sick from the same disease. This i
said to comprise Mr.. Cooks entir'
family.
Reports as to the number OF case
in Caliente are conflicting, but 1t !
said there are several

In Milford, Utah, it is reporte
