That's What Good Brick Road Should

Since the stories Of overcharge In
the case Of the hard surface road
contracts In Barton county have be-
gun to attract so much attention,
there Is some inquiry to know what
such road should cost. Barton
county is to pay $4,000 City En-
gineer Wakenhut, after hurried and
by no means thorough estimate, be-
lieves that about $4,000 should be
the proper figure. 1t must be taken

long hauls-Salina Journal. The

WILL HELP WITH
CHILDREN'S PIG CLUBS

The two men, Mr.. Frey of Chap
man and Prof. Williams of Manhat-
tan, who are working here In the in
terests Of the children's pig clubs
have been interviewing the banks In
the country and presenting a plan
by which each bank win organize a
separate club and give the children
financial aid where 1t Is needed. They
desire to- have every bank in the
county promote these clubs, each hav-
ing about ten members in its club.
Where child needs money to buy
the pig OF provide feed the bank to
whose club he belongs will take his
note, with the parents approval, and
the child will be responsible and will
transact all the business connected
with it himself. Corn clubs will be
organized and handled in the same
manner. Though but few of the
banks have been interviewed so fer
there seems to be a manifest will
ingness to cooperate with those who
are promoting the plan in carrying
it out. A similar plan has been used
in which the banks have furnished
aid to boys raising cows and has
proved most successful.

For An Athletic Field.

on the completion Of the new higl
school building A. H. S. will have thu
latest modern equipment and one OF
the best buildings in Kansas. She
will have full science and laboratory
equipment, a fully equipped library
a large standard size gymnasium and
an auditorium with seating capacity
of seven hundred. The auditorium
can be used for all class plays OF
school functions. 1t will also be for
the use Of the community.
The gymnasium will easily take
care Of all indoor sports, girls physi-
cal training and Cadet parade drills,
If Abilene High School is going to
have all this fine equipment why not
have a place for all out door sports
-an athletic field? The city park
which we use at present, Is eighteen
blocks from the high school and this
long walk is enough to wear any boy
out before entering any sport. Also
for boys who have to walk this long
distance 1t binders them from getting
the proper amount OF training and
1t eliminates them altogeth-
er. The following plan, which has
been proposed by Principal Wheeler,
has been ratified by Supt. Stacey and
the Board of Education. His plan Is
for the students to buy this ground
thru the general athletic fund, max
ing yearly payments. The athletic
fund Is kept up athletics and all
school enterprises which, means that
1t is purely student fund In good
year 1t nets about $3.50.

field comes up. Each class could fur

The Boy Inside.


There Is fellow that l know,
Born just about as long ago
AS l, and, with me, bound to grow
The boy inside of me.
Sometimes I wish he was not there,
For when in games I'm not quite
fair,
He seems to say: stop! Is that
square?"
That boy inside Of me.
And when / do not study quite
So hard as really is but right,
He tells me so sometimes at night
The boy inside of me.
Or when / plan some secret lark,
Then, suddenly, ! have to bark
Somehow he makes me toe the mark,
That boy inside Of me.
1t really does no good to hide
A thing from him, because I've tried,
And so I'm glad I'm on his side

High School Plays.

Plays have been ordered for most
Of the plays this year. The plays
will be of different character than
those of former years. Instead OF
having long play Of three acts, the
tendency will be to have three short
plays In one evening with different
group of actors for each play. Miss
Gilmore will coach the first part OF
the plays. 1t Is uncertain whether
she will have entire charge for this
year or not. The Freshmen are sche-
duled for January, the Sophomores
for February, Juniors for March and
the Senior play is set for the last
week In April. Mr.. Wheeler has or
dered twenty three copies for the
first four plays to be given.

Weekly Health Talks
what Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

Il has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. T., should be
placed near the top when list OF
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to a degree that few realize
Whenever he found remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced it
in the newspapers and told where IL
could be bought at small price. he
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
~ each root and herb he used. Ana
so to-day the names of DR.. Pierce ana
his medicines are widely known, ana
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little. sugar-coated pills, composed Of
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root OF jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive.
II YOU are constipated, by all means

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove to be the very thing your
system requires 70 make you well and
