ADD TO BRIDGE CRIBS

The city council met in special ses-
sion Saturday evening to consider and
act upon some recommended changes
in the Tenth street bridge in course of
construction. The report of the con
sulting engineer was read. He recon-
mended that additional cribs be added
to the abuttments strengthening the
structure. The cribs being constructed
are to be added to so as to make them
II by Is by % feet and those on the
other side will be l6 by Is by 23 feet.
Tenders will also be added to the speci-
fcations at an additional cost of $500.
The crib addition will add S7,56l to
the contract price of the bridge and
the contract was awarded to the con
tractors at the work, McMullen & PITT.
The necessity for the added protection
became more apparent when it was
found to be impossible to drive piling
into the hardpan of the river bed at
places.

AUTO LIGHTS

Automobile drivers must look to
their lights. The last legislature gave
the state industrial commission author
ity to regulate lights and it has done
So The code is quite elaborate in
print but it is easy to understand when
explained. 1t behOoves every car own
er to see to it that he is complying
with the rules. A majority have not
been doing 50 and the officers are now
prepared to go ahead and enforce the
law. There is as much danger from
insufficient light as from glaring lights
and the rules require sufficient illumi-
nation.
There is an adjustment for every
lens and the dealer who sold the car
can supply it.
The regulations provide that the cen
ter of the beam from a spot light shall
not strike the road more than fifty
feet ahead of the car unless beam of
light is swung 30 degrees to either side.

liant daring on the paths contributed
more than any one factor to the vic
tory Judge schmidt, Sheriff Brennan

torney Brady is accused of walking off
second base while runner and for
getting that he was in ball game.

The Chiffon manager says that kell-
nersvlle tried to steal the game played
at Kellnersville ON July is and that
the umpire forfeited the game to
Chiffon, and that talk Of playing a
game for $500 side is pure "bunk";
that KellnersyiIIc wont put up the
money. 1t is hard 10 tell whether the
boys are talking in earnest of merely
working up public interest in the big
games. He's way off about Kelners-
vile being afraid. Those boys would
play the Cincinatti Reds.

the idea. The men who are keeping
them, however, want to get rid of
them since the price of feed has

MANY ACRES IDLE BUT FOR
POWER UNITS.

The scarcity of labor means that
many acres will be idle this year
Unless fa rmers use large power units
in cultivating and caring for the
necessary crops. It very often hap
pens that one man and four or i've
mules can do two and one-halt
times as much work as one man and
two mules. This is especially true in
preparing ground for crops, where
narrowing and packing can be per-
formed in one operation with a
larger power unit, such as five
mules; while just as much labor
will be required when using two
mules, and it will take two and one
half times as long.
