for the next twenty years, and to
spend this money on permanent road
construction and have the use of the
roads during the period when the
licenses are being paid.
The Republican office has COM
piled the costs of road work up to
date on the several sections given be-
low.
One mile of grading at Springfield
lake reaching east and west of the
big fill $6362.83.
To the above must be added the
cost of the planks put on the pro-
tecting fence across the big fill. The
cost of the posts is in the above
figures.
1t also included the cost Of the
cement culvert to carry the water
around at the end of the fill. The
cost of labor on the culvert was
$4,000 and the cost of lumber and
cement was $618.86, making a total
of $10S7.86. There was expended
for blacksmithing for tools on the
mile, $1,000.

many of us have read the terms of
the covenant once thru?
In time congress will have to make
the big guess and stick. President
Wilson is willing to stake his world
reputation on the league as it is.
Public men have most Of their
time to devote to such questions.
Private citizens spend most of their
time thinking of individual ventures.
They leave it to congressman to find
out what they want and do it.
Some citizens do write. to their
senators and representatives, as
should be generally done, and from
such letters and from newspapers
the congressman draw conclusions
about the public attitude. If it cost
$500 instead of 2 cents to write to
our law makers perhaps the Wash
ington, D. G. post office would be
forced to hire extra help.
But the will of'the people is con-
! jectured thru inklings here and
there, and congressman must use
their heads. If they prove to be poor
prophets they suffer extinction when
the deed is done. The people get
successors for them. First and last,
statesman needs to be good
mind reader.
A public mans act is his lad. I"
If it draws him many votes at the
next election he knows that his lad"

nothing but back seat he knows it
was a poor one. But he can't keep
from advertising; he must do some
thing, he can't stall-not more than
six or eight months anyway

SECURING OR LOSING
THE FAIRGROUNDS

The time has come for the home
people in Bingham county to decide
whether they will secure the fair
grounds at bargain price based on
what the stockholders originally put
into the property when they bought
up the village common seventeen
years ago when land could be had al
most for the cost of the improve
ments,. or let it be sold by the COM
pany for what it is worth now to cut
up into city lots.
The stockholders offer to turn it
over for public purposes if they are
given their money back money they
could have doubled twice If they had
invested it in something for them
selves instead Of for public good. II
the farm bureau and its hackers take
it over, many Of these same stock
holders will re-invest money in 1t
for public good as they did before,
Lut they will not care to furnish all
the funds. It will depend on how
the farmers all thru the county take
hold Of it whether others will re-

spond or. not. The activities of the
fair association thru all the years
brought two results-greater de-
mand >and higher prices for farm
lands, and more competitors for the
men engaged in commercial pursuits
in the towns. The business men did
most of the work of keeping up the
fair, and the farmers received the
benefits in the advanced values OF
their lands. If man in town had q
good business and the fair attracted
attention and brought in another
competitor it made harder scratch
ing for him, and the farmer had
more places to choose from in his
trading. And yet in the light of this
one-sided station all favoring OF
the owner of lands, the men and
women of the town, aided by a few
public-spirited farmers and stock.
men, carried most of the burdens p1
the fair, had to pursuade most of the
farmers to bring in exhibits to KEEP
up the show on the shelves, and then
were always flooded with applica.
lions for passes into the whole show
because they had brought in some
products to exhibit. Somebody gave
too much attention and too much OF
purses to horse races and that dis
gusted many people, and the whole
thing gravitated in the wrong direc-
tioh till it failed.
The demonstration Of advantages
and of wrongs has been carried far
enough to make it plain to all think
ing people that the farmers must
decide it now. If they take hold
generously on purchases of capital
stock, everybody else will buy and
work, but the farmers must lead.
We have had drives for the benefit
of everybody from the Golden Gate
to Galipoli and Singapore and now is
fine opportunity to have drive for
sustaining agriculture among our
selves and providing place for
amusement for all.

TO THE
BUILDERS

No matter how much it may seem
to our open handed citizens that they
are being set back too often for COM
munity benefits while. the anti-donors
sit back and keep their money in the
bank, growing rich, they should re-
member that on frequent occasions
in life reputation is far more of a
boon than wealth. On the occasion
of death, for instance. Nobody liv-
ing knows just how it feels to be on
the threshold of the Long Jump, and
yet everyone knows that sense OF
having done some few unselfish
deeds must be quite consolation at
such a time.
For those VINO are Gin on every
worthy subscription let there be a
remembrance, not only that they
may be put down as supporters Of
improvements and public spirited
Elen, but that they may be given a
boost as often as possible. In a way
thew are the city's protectors. With
out them it might be village of cats
and dogs and misers, who never
know the joy of giving and of help
ing.
We propose the following epitaph
for readiness TO commemorate our
private-spirited citizens, who never
"bite" no matter how worthy the
cause:
Here lies one we would forget,
We're glad his sufferings are DER:
His place on earth is not ''tc let
But Lord, don't send us any more!"

THE GUESSING
GAME

One of the worlds master riddles,
the most battling guessing game in
the history of America is: do the
people of the United States want the
league of nations?
Congressman are fighting each
other teeth and toe-nail over it,
some swearing that the people want
the covenant, some swearing that
the people will never have it. They
are all swearing at each other about
the peoples wishes.
In the mean time President Will
son is on the last lap of his big
circle tour of the west and middle
west where he has been putting his
league of nations proposition to the
highest tribunal, The People. He
has everywhere, (almost) been re-
ceived with enthusiasm.
And still it is debatable question.
What do the people want? Or. do
they think very much about it? How

QUICK MEMORIES

It's hard to believe that already
some articles of renaissance are be-
ing written about last year, and the
A. E. F. and France. And, OF course,
the war, beaucoup.
Where six or seven months ago
the petite rues of Bordeaux; Blois,
LIE Mans and many, many lesser
leave areas were almost American,
and where the shops had their win
dows full of the things the Yanks
had need of, it does seem strange,
when you think of it, that few signs
of those times remain, no Ameri-
cans End no American trade pull
lers.' On the streets are French
men, young ones with their girls,
too, and in the windows French arti-
cles of every day use.

of articles in the "Home Sector" a

Dear Sirs-As I was mixing some

wonder if you really knew what a
wonderful cold remedy it is, even if
you do put it up.
Last fall we were really worried
about my husband, as he had tried
so many remedies, and the doctor
did not help him at all, when one
day he happened to read an ad Of
your Mentho-L axene and he said !:

easier right away, and long before
the first bottle was gone he was all
over his terrible cough, and by tax

we both have warded off every bit
of, colds and coughs since, until
Monday of this week he got his feet
so wet and by night he coughed
again quite badly, but this morning

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You. Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind incombustible ashes, so the
food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal in
digestible material, which if not
completely eliminated from the sys-
tenn each day, becomes food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of left
over waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before breakfast each
morning drink a glass Of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
bowels the previous days poisons
and toxins, and to keep the entire
alimentary canal clean, pure and
fresh.
Those who. are subject to sick
headache, colds, biliousness, consti-
patton, others who wake up with
bad taste, foul breath, backache.
rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour.
gassy stomach after meals, are
urged to get quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from the drug
store, and begin practicing internal
sanitation. This will cost very little.

Some Recipes for
Christmas

This is the time Of the year to be-
gin on Christmas buildings and
cakes. The cakes are best after
they are about a month old, but are
acceptable as soon as they are cold
enough to eat. The wise house
keeper will make her Christmas pud-
dings now, and make a few extra
ones to be heated and used for the
dinner dessert.
Mincemeat, too, can be made now
and kept on hand. Homemade
mincemeat is not much trouble to
make and is always appreciated by
those who like mince pie.
These recipes are not inexpensive,
but if the cakes and buildings are
carefully made and kept for special
occasions they will go long ways.
Always cut them with very sharp
knife, to avoid the waste through
crumbling.

10 Properly Treat
Obstinate Wrinkles

Particularly where wrinkles are long and
deep, the massage devotee is apt to rub
too hard and too frequently. This loosens
the skin, causes muscles to sag, aggra-
Yates the wrinkled condition-just the op-
posite result from that sought.
Better than massage, or anything else.
for the most obstinate wrinkles. as well
as the finest lines. is a remarkable forll-
ula which you may readily avail .yourse,
of. as you will have no difficulty in pro
curing the constituents from your drug
gist 1t is this: One ounce of powdered
saxolite, dissolved in one-half pint witch
hazel. Battle face. neck and hands in
this. The effect is really marvellous. not
only as to wrinkles. but also in cases of
baggy cheeks and chin. The application
is refreshing and soothing, tending to re
lieve fatigue. Both the witch hazel and
the saxolite are, of course. entirely harm
less to the skin.

uralness, besides keeping the hair softer
and glossier than possible with the heated

In the morning the hair will be beauti

will last for months and as it is really
