by the collaborators into a highly
dramatic and colorful story that is
distinctly new and vital.
In selecting the cast for Fools

players from the ranks of stardom.
Ability. beauty and type Influenced
him in his selection. The effect is

Discuss Dust Laying

The regular monthly meeting of
the Madison Board Of Trade was
held Wednesday evening in Fire
mans Hall. After the disposal of
the routine business the matter of
some better method of laying the
dust than the old fashioned sprink-
Ter system now in vogue was brought
up for discussion. II. II. Haines
who has been investigating the sub
ject read letter from the State
Highway Engineer in reply to a
query about the use of calcium
chloride. In the letter it stated that
the experiment tried on a stretch of
road last year was very satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Haines quoted figures
showing that three miles of street
could be treated with the calcium
chloride at cost a little less than
the present sprnkling system and
also said that another season when
a second treatment was applied the
cost would be considerably less. This
treatment would not be practicable
for the macadamzed surface on
Main street and a solution of as
phalt such as was used in SkoWhe-
gan and at a cost of about ten dol
lars per lot was recommended.

Stilled the voice, vanished the hand
And the kind heart so true.
Why mourn her loss today?
She speaks to us no more
Children its time to play"
Then off to bed once more.
Gonc-to Heaven above;
Stars are taken away
From the night, my own love,
And the sun from the day,
\ cloud is in my heart;
There's no fun in the play
When we leave out her part.
Gone-the tender caress,
For hex spirit has flown;
Also the goodnight kiss
And we are left alone
To put out the light there;
Silent to bed we creep,
Join with her in the prayer
Il lay me down to sleep"
Gone--love's lingering twilight
Fer gone, doubts fill the soul;
The dawn dispels the night
OF dreadful dreams untrue,
Not dead, but alive yet,
Orb that lent light to another.
Living hope can't forget
Eternal life, God and mother.
