Highway South of Milan Slated for
Attention, Designation Being
Made by Supervisors.

Blue prints were received yes
terday by Wallace Treichler, coun-
ty supervisor of highways, cover
ing specifications for the road to
be "built of earth" for Il distanc e
of 1884 feet out of Milan. An
nouncement that bids would be
opened at Springfield May IA for
the work was made in a dispatch
to The Argus. Mr.. Treichler said
he knew nothing about the project
prior TO the printing Of the dis
>patch.
Plans show that the road to be
improved" is what is known as
the camp grounds. or Monmouth
road, straight south o: Milan.
Building it of earth means that it
is to be merely graded and few
culverts put in. There are a num-
Der of minor hills. but the grade
is not to be materially reduced,
according to the county engineer.
1t is estimated that the cost wiz
be $10,097 The money will be
taken from the fund provided by
state aid. the state furnishing half
from the proceeds of automobile
licenses and the county half.
Bids are to be opened at the
same time for the construction of
two sections of oiled roads in Hen
ry county, but no oil is e be used
here. 1t will be simply . dirt road,
which it is now, and it will be just

RECREATION HALL
AND CAFETERIA AT
Y. W. OPEN JUNE 1-6

The new recreation hall which
has been under course of remodel
ing and repair for the use of the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, will be formally opened to the
public June l and plans are being
made looking to this occasion. The
hall, formerly the Rock Island Tur-
ner hall, has been completely over
hauled and remodeled and will
make an ideal recreation place for
the use of the Y. W. C. A. The floor
is already in such condition that
gymnasium classes can be organ
lied and drilled and the first of
these will meet Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in what is to be known
as the matrons' class. At in the
evening the class for girls will hold
its first session under the direction
OF Claude Hippler, who will have
charge of gymnastics at the asso-
citation.
With the opening of the recrea-
ton hall the cafeteria will also
be ready for use. and this will be
long stride in the development
of the association. The cafeteria
now maintained in the girls dor
mitory is in such cramped quar-
ters that it is inadequate to care
for all who wish to patroniZe the
lunch rooms The new cafeteria
will be greatly enlarged and will
be able to cater to much larger
numbers of people.
Tennis courts are being placed
on the lawn inst east of the girls
dormitory, an ideal place for such
summer sports, and will be ready
for use with the first good weather.

the nature of the undertaking. II
is pointed out that it is entirely
possible that the Monmouth road
will be designated for a hard sur
face under the state bond issue. If
this is done, whatever is spent on
it now will be virtually wasted.
Then the idea of using state aid
money for anything other than
permanent improvements fails TO
meet with general approval.

A CHARLES TOWN
SOLDIERS LAST DAYS


Letters giving the details of the
last illness and death of Private John
d. Cockrell, who died from pneumonia
in a hospital in Germainville, France,
September 4, 1918, have been receiv-
ed by his sister, Mrs. Reta Hough,
from comrades who were with him in
his last hours. Private Cockrell was
one of the very few patriots of this
county, who after being given his eX-
emption because of the dependence of
an invalid mother waived his exemp-
ton after her death and went to
France. At the time of his death he
was a member of Company B. 21st
Field Artillery, of the Fifth Division.
Private John j. Oliver, of the same
battery writes: Private Cockrell and
| were sent to the 9TH Division the last
of August, 1918, as requirements. He
became quite sick at Epinal, France.
He suffered quite a lot from expos
ure in the forced march toward the
front and arrived in Germainville,
France, with a high fever. His
breathing made harsh rasping noise.
We were unable to get a doctor for
some time and he was sent to a hos
pital in Germainville with heavy at
tack of pneumonia. His death follow
ed on September 4. He was buried
on September 5 in the military ceme-
terry at Bayou, department of Meur-
the ct Moselle by Chaplain Ernst.

SHARP, STABBING PAINS
Often Tell of Weak Kidneys. A
Charles Town Resident Shows
You What To Do
You What To Do.

The sharp twinge of pain in the
small of the back that strikes YOU af-
ter any sudden twist of awkward
motion, may tell of weak kidneys.
And there are often disturbances of
the urine-too frequent urination,
scalding or burning pains during pas
sage, discolored urine and sediment.
Doan's Kidney Pills are prepared
especially for weakened kidneys, kid
neys backache and urinary disorders
have proven their merit in thous-
ands of cases. Doan's are endorsed
throughout the civilized world-are
recommended by Charles Town resi-
dents.
Mrs. Lawrence Allen, AIT w.
Washington St., says: about two
years ago my kidneys were causing
me lots of trouble. The complaint
first came on by a sharp pain, stab
bing me through the small of my back
1t was so fierce that for days could
not bend one way or the other, and
couldn't even sit down. My back
ached steadily and / suffered every
thing from the torture. My kidneys
didn't act right and was greatly
bothered on this account. | finally
used two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from Browne Hooff's
Drug Store, and they cured me of the
attack. Recently / had a similar
spell of kidney trouble, but used
Doan's with the same good results"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
