White Way Approved by City Fathers.

The plans and specifications
which were submitted to the city
council last Monday evening receiv-
ed TIE unqualified approval Of the
members and a resolution adopted
passing on them and calling for
bids on the same.
| The plans as submitted call for a
way Of 81 light posts, set eight to
each block, four on either side.
The posts are l2A feet in height
with the single large globe on the
top. The light will be furnished
by 400 canolepower bulbs and will
furnish adequate light for all oc-
casions.
TIE city is now on the flat rate
system. which will be changed
after the installation of the ne W
lighting system and be charged ac-
cording to the meter system. A
considerable saving will be made
thru this change so that the new
lighting system will be but a very
slight increase over the former
charges. The control system will
be connected so that each alternat.
ing light can be turned off after a
certain hour of the night, saving
one-half of the cost of operation
for the whole night.
The bids for the work Of INSTALL
alton will be called for and opened
as soon as possible, but the work
will not be completed until late fall
according to estimates placed upon
the length of time needed.
The new white way will add
much to the improvement Of Main
street and with the newly laid con-
crete paving Milbank will have a
street that any city might we'll be
proud Of.

LARGE Attendance at Boosters Picnic

More than lCO people attended
the first booster association picnic.
which was held at Hartford Beach
last Monday evening. Cars were
provided for those who had none
and a large representation Of the
membership was present.
Supper was served at 6:3G
O'Clock. after which the business
meeting was held. The discussion
of the fair was the main topic.
According to the directors Of the
association, very small part of
the stock of the association has
been sold and it was decided that
big effort must be made to sell the
balance of the stock.
Practically every man present
voted to take some of the shares
and more than $1,000 worth was
pledged in this way. The impress
sion that seems general thruout the
country is that the fair is run for
the benefit Of few stock breed
ers, which is not correct. according
to the directors. They have andeav-
ored to make it a large county fair
that would attract the exhibitions
of every stock raiser, grain and
corn grower. poultry, garden or
any other exhibitor who wished to
enter his exhibition. Without the
co-opertion of the business men
who will guarantee the association
financial backing. ana the farmers
who have stock or anything to ex.
hib;t. the fair cannot be made to be
a paying proposition. A paid Sec
retary will have charge of the took
irg of the entries, and see that all
arrangements have been made,
which will be big step forward to
assure a Successful fair. The bus
mess men nave the concessions. and
attractions will be secured for the
pleasure of the patrons. AN effort
has been made by both the local
association and the Big Stone Fair
association to buy contrIo of the
other, but up to date no deal has
resulted.
The boosters decided that one
meeting should be held every month
for the next few monts during the
hot weather Of the summer. The
meetings will probably in the form
of picnics and outings at the var
ious lakeside resorts, which will
appeal to great many members.
Many Of the people took advant.
age Of the opportunity and tried
their luck with the elusive fish.
No arge catch has been reported.
but several caught q mess for the
Tuesday breakfast.
A dance was held in the evening
at the pavilion which drew a good
crowd later in the evening. The
Roy MADEIRA orchestra officiated and
fu rnished the same good music
which it has the reputation for.

dren. on hygiene and the care OF
the body. with special stress laid
on the care Of the te eth.
The modern health crusade was
started in most of the schools visit
