Road Built on Sandy Shore.

BY the use of sectional planking it
was possible to build stretch of re-
enforced concrete highway along the
shore of Lake Michigan, east of
Michigan City, on what is known as
the Long Beach road extension. Start
ing at the central mixing plant says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, the con-
tractor put down 1900 feet of sec
tional planking; made up in sections
5 feet wide and 10 feet long, by 6
inch boards being used for this pur-
pose. He then had the wet concrete
carted from the mixing plant to the
end of the walk, and as the road was
laid, the blackboard was taken up and
conveyed back to the mixing plant.
When he had worked back to the mix
ing plant, he used the same planking,
extending it 1900 feet in the opposite
direction and working back in the
same manner.

Why British Flaq Bears LARGE Cross.


During the early part Of its his
tory, Great Britain used a number
of different flags or standards to
identify the men and the ships belong
ing to the nation. In medieval times,
practically every great nobleman had
a flag of his own, but, at the time
of Richard the Lion Hearted, what
is now the official badge of Great
Britain had it's beginning.
AS time went on, the insignia Of
conquered nations were added to this
ensign, together with certain symbols
of the reigning families with whom
the British kings and queens intermar-
ried, even the symbol of France APP
pearing on this flag as late as 1901.
Gradually, however, these were elimi-
mated and the present royal standard
adopted-divided into four quarters,
symbolical of the divisions of the is
land empire. In the first quarter are
the three British lions. In the Sec
ond appears the fighting lion of Scot
land The harp of Ireland occupies
land are repeated in the fourth quar-
ter, for Wales does not appear as a
separate entity. Joining the four-or
separating them-is the Cross of ST.
George, as typical of the different
British standards as the Stars and
Stripes are of the various forms of
the American flag.

A Quick Thinker.

This negro used to deal with grocer
named John Burnside, who had store
just north of Jeffersonville. One night
the negro crawled through a small
hole, only made for chickens, and
when he crawled out a chicken went
with him. Next day Burnside picked
up the negro's grocery account book
near the place the chicken had been
and was not. He silently handed out
the book to the negro who came later
to make a purchase, and then said {:

SURELY WAS "QUARE THING"
no wonder MIR. Murphy Couldn't
Understand His Better Haf's
Sudden Indisposition.

In a certain town there is an Irish
cobbler whose conversation is much
relished by his fellow townsmen.
Good morning, Mr. Murphy" said
customer one day, going into the
shop with shoes to be repaired. II
hear your wife is ill. What is the
matter?'
Its mesilf that's tried to find a
rayson for Mary's being took since
Yesterday morning" said Mr.. Murphy.
Unless it's the heat, l don't know
what the trouble is.
The day before Yesterday she was
as well as liver she was. Ye mind it
was a powerful hot day, day before
Yesterday? Well, thin, Mary took no
notice of the weather, no more than
usual. She picked blueberries all
morning; thin she made a BURBERRY
pie for dinner, and she ate the
half of that pie and a quarter of
watermelon I'd bought, and she
relished every mouthful.
Thin she made the rist of the blue
berries into a nice cake for supper,
and she ate the half of thOt-me eatin'
the rist, as did of the pie-an the
last quarther of the watermelon; an
what with the irish doughnuts an
the last end of Mrs. Dooley's weddin'
cake, she made out foine meal. An
in the evenin', it being SO terrible hot,
she made pitcher of lemonade, an
drunk the whole of thot.
Its the quare thing her being took
sick Yesterday mornin' after being so
well the day before" said Mr.. Murphy.
''She ate twoice what l did, and 1 re-
mimber Spakin' to her about her fOine
appetite, with the heat an all; and
here she is fiat on her back since
Yesterday mornin.'" - Philadelphia

When Valley City entered the Da-
kota league most of the fans were
pleased as organized baseball is sup
posed to put stop to the fighting on
the field that features semi-pro ball.
Ordinarily it does and the fans here
have been we'll satisfied most of the
season but the games under Umpire
Collins have become so raw that they
have been robbed Of all pleasure to
the fans. Collins is not the best ar
bitrator in the world and has a habit
Of calling plays wrong several times
during game. His decisions are as
bad for one side as the other and
tend to keep the crowd stirred up at
all times. Whenever a player makes
any remark, regardless Of how inno-
cent, he gets tough and tacks on a
fine. There is more petty quarreling
on the field under his management
than with any other umpire in the
league, in fact Collins reminds one Of
a small boy who has suddenly been
elevated to position Of authority
and it has gone to his head. Like all
blusterers he quits before there is any
danger of his being hurt. Last night
he wired President Cantillon asking
that another umpire be sent to finish
the jamestown series here,-evident-
ly being afraid to face the crowd
again after the exhibition he made of
himself yesterday. We are informed
that he gave as his excuse that the
clubs refused to play under his direc-
ton, which is not fact. His request
to be transferred will be appreciated
by the fans as being the best act he
has done for Valley City.
