Attention Returned Soldiers.

The Federal Board for Vocational
Education is extremely anxious that
every disabled officer, soldier, sailor and
marine be informed of the provision
which the Federal Government has
made for re-education. As it is quite
possible that some disabled men have
been discharged from the service and
gone to their homes without being fully
acquainted with the opportunities Of
fered. the Federal Board has asked the
cooperation of the Clerk of the Local
Board in each county. The Clerk Of
Tie Howaed Gou. y Local Board hsss
supply d poSI cards for the purpose Of
making The report to the proper au-
thorities and asks that any one who
has information relative to any man
while in the military or naval
service of the United States Govern.
ment will report to the clerk the name
of the party that the Board can get
into direct touch with him, giving him
information which may be of great
benefit to him.

County Eagiueer Visits Florenceville.

County Engineer T. R. Perry made a
business trip to Florenceville, Wednes-
day, to inspect the work done by the
band of willing workers who are giving
good hard service both with men and
teams free of charge in order that they
may have good graveled road on
which to travel. He also inspected the
pit, owned by ]. T. Drummond, from
which the gravel is being taken and said
''it's good stuff, let's get it on the
road" The informant hereof has to
himself at least made = very sstisfac-
tory discovery of two things, one is that
the general public does not want to pay
. higher rate Of taxes, and second they
do want better roads, 30 he said there
is but one other way, get your team and
come, let's get the gravel moving to
where we want it. The good men
responded so numerously that they are
delivering from so to 100 loads per day
and we'll soon have . good rosd. The
informant hereof being well acquainted
throughout the county says old Howard
is full Of just such kind Of men and oil
they are waiting for is someone to say
come on and they will do ss others
are doing. making good roads,, There
is but one way to show faith, that's by
works; soe way to show love. that's by
works; one way to prove that you are
fit to live in old America, and that is to
get out do good, and make the world
better for your having passed through.

More Paving Proposed.

Elsewhere appears notice of resolu-
tions of necessity proposing more paw
ing for Cresco. The Plain Dealer is in
faver of an extension of paving in
Cresco, it ia one Of the things that adds
to the value Of our property and also
to the beauty of the city. But We be-
lieve it should be laid where it will also
be of utility to the general public.
The paving proposed on Third.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Avenues meets
with our approval, and the alley paw
ing is of value to the pubhctboth q .
convenience and as sanitary meas
ure, but we believe that the proposed
paving west of Second street west on
Second avenue should be postponed,
and the Third avenue paving should Be
extended west to the end of that street.
thus giving good main paved road for
the heavy traffic coming over that
street from the west and northwest,
just as the paving on Third avenue
east is great convenience to traffic
from the east and northeast and the
Elm street paving is benefit to those
coming to town from the north. ,4.,s
Again, something should be done to
remedy conditions on east Market
street 1t is practically impossible to
pave the entire area ABOUT the hitch
ing posts, but some form of paving
should be done to make that street
more than wallowing place
in muddy times. II
