COST TO
REPAIR COUNTY.
AAO CITY WORKS
Total Cost to Repair Levees.
Bridges, Viaducts, ETC.,
Near Million Dollars

Pueblo's county and city engineers
&C. A. Reese and d. P. Gaymon-
who some time ago were called upon
by the county and city commission
ers to make a detailed report OF the
probable cost of replacing and re-
pairing the bridges, viaducts and
levees. have completed that work and
yesterday placed in the hands of the
county commissioners an interesting
detailed report.
The total cost as figured by the city
and county engineers for replacing
and repairing damage caused by the
flood to the citys and county's
bridges levees and viaducts. runs very
close to the million dollar mark. the
exact figures given being s969,s7o.
Messrs. Gaymon and Reese preface
their figures with the statement that
they visited the sites of every bridge,
levee and viaduct damaged by the
flood. and in many instances they in
spected the sites on both sides OF the
streams: this work necessitated long
drives, much time and figuring; the
structures which need attention were
for the most part built when the cost
of labor was from $1.15 to 81 day.
and when steel and other building
material was much cheaper than now.
so that none of the bridges, viaducts
or levees could be replaced for any
where near their original cost. The
levee estimates here made. say the
engineers, are on 20 foot wide top
with Stag lining on the front face.
First item taken up by the report
Is that OF levee.. which is as follows:

MANY CURB ISSUES
IN BRISK DEMAND
Purchases lndica ate Acoumula-
ton by Controlling interests.
Maracaibo Oil Active

New YORK, March 28.--Many stocks
were in brisk demand on the Brond
Street Curb with the beginning of busi.
ness today. but the buying, which e1-
erted the greatest influence, was not of
speculative character, but indicated
persistent accumulation by controlling
interests either on knowledge Of coming
developments or for some special pur-
pose connected with the properties.
This was the case especially In Mara. :.

PRICE MOVEMENT

Market Heavily Charged With

New York. March 2s. The multi

produced both confusing and conflicting

curious spectacle of stocks Of the snme

list was anything but that of weakness.
To the contrary the same underCurrent

it was the thing for the plumbers
to do.
Everybody joined in except the
Plasterers' Union. But all the rest
of the South Bend industry savers
did not propose to let the Plasterers'
Union play dog in the manger and
keep the others out Of their jobs.
The plasterers got flat notice that
when the new construction that is
now starting up all over South Bend
has gone far enough along to need
plasterers either they will take their
cut or other plasterers will be put
on the job wherever they may be
found and whether they are union
men or not.
SO, South Bend, Indiana, full Of
public spirit and common sense, gets
back to work.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-06-14

for a while, but soon the interest
tagged. Suddenly the oldest boy
had happy thought. "Let's get all
the stones we can find and build a
gate-post. Father will fix the ce-
ment and help us when he gets here"
The garden plot was searched for
every stone and wonderfully fine
piece Of work was accomplished
there before the father returned.
Many fine acts and homely ac-
complishments are recognized with
honor for Boy Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls which provide motives within
their vision. However, the motive
must be a right one, and not of the
kind one mother offered in holding
up a twenty-five cent piece to calm
her boy in his fit Of temper. 1t was
an easy way to earn money and the
temper fits became frequent. That
bit of silver might have accomplished
more if offered to the child Of that
tendency for every week or month
when no temper was allowed to show
itself. In that way the child would
have learned self control Of lifelong
value.
Neither rules nor laws can be fixed
for the varied situations a mother
faces, but if she can be equipped
with a point Of view from which to
work, it will often meet a wide
stretch of needs. To be able to offer

body would reshingle a roof if he
could help it.
There was nothing in that for the
members of the building trades
unions. There was nothing in it for
the contractors or the men that sup
ply materials for construction work.
There was nothing in it for the local
stores that sell food and other goods
in normal volume to wake earners
when they are employed.
So the Bricklayers' Union, of
South Bend, came to the scratch
with an agreement with the building
contractors to let an arbitration
commission look into the situation
and see if they could help to start
things going again. The commission
went over the ground and decided
that IA per cent reduction Of the
bricklayers' wages ought to start
something in the bricklaying line if
others would do their share. Thus
the bricklayers' part was settled and
it was cheerfully accepted.
Then the South Bend Carpenters
Union promptly decided that if a IA
per cent wage cut was the right
thing for the bricklayers to take SO
as to start building it was the right
thing for the carpenters. And the
South Bend Plumbers Union agreed
that if this was the thing for the
bricklayers and the carpenters to do

Providing a Motive
By Edith Gilman Brewster

By Edith Gilman Brewster
~ don't want to get up. Pm going
to stay abed this morning. I'm Sick"
came the grumpy call from the boy
of the house.
Neither opposition nor argument
was offered by the wise mother. She
ignored the remark and merely spoke
over the banister to her husband be-
low. "Did you say, Daddy, that those
of the children who were ready on
time could ride out to see the circus
unload?"
Two barefoot slapped to the floor
and a smiling boy in good health
made a prompt appearance at break
fast.
In another case-'1 hate to sell
tickets" was the Initiate reply to
the mothers request.
"These are stamps, John, not
tickets. Every one you Isell gives
food for a day to a starving little
Chinese boy"
Visions of black queued laundry
man who had given John nut arose
in the boys mind. $50 it's saving
Chinks," was the boys wording of
his motive, and with zest he sold
eight dollars worth of the three-cen
stamps.
The mother who can supply mo-
tives in place Of arguments finds a
harmony in her home that generates
peace, which in it's turn is a strong
factor in promoting good health.
Constant friction reacts upon the
physical condition Of the members of
the family.
Many pleasures and joys are due
the children, yet it is only right that
they should share in simple way
the burdens and responsibilities that
go to make for comfort in the home.
Where a mature mind can vision the
needs and outcome of the work re-
quired, child can see only the irk-
some task to be accomplished and
often must be provided with mo-
tive.
At one time when a new garden
plot was ploughed many stones were

Indiana Sense Goes
~ Onto the Job Again

Out in South Bend, Indiana, work
ers in the building trades had war
initiation wage scale, but they had no
jobs. At the excessive cost of con-
struction nobody would put up fac
TORY or an office building, nobody
would put up dwelling house, no.

a legitimate motive for action is one
step toward happy home harmony.
