Dangerous Crossing East Of Solomon
to Be Eliminated

Salina journal: A dangerous
grade crossing on the Golden Belt
highway just as 1t enters Solomon
from the east is the subject Of study
just now by G. L. Campbell, district
highway engineer. He is trying to
figure out ways to eliminate the short
turn of the road across the switch
track. When freight car stands
ON the track, 1t shuts off view for the
motOrist Of the railroads main line.
A detOur to the north and then re-
turn to the highway by another
road is being considered. The grade
crossing is situated in such way
that underground crossing appears
impossible because of no drainage
and an overhead span is impractical

A WORTHY APPOINTMENT

The appointment by Mayor
tones of William IL. Moss as
President OF the Annapolis Water
Company was gracious act.
coming from one OF opposite po-
litical affiliation, and was also a
well-deserved recognition of faith
full service rendered by Mir. Moss.
In dealing with public utility OF
such vital interest as the CITY 5
water supply the partisan conSld-
Grafton is. of course, by no means
of first Importance, and the Mayor
has emphasized this in the pres
ent insance. There could have
been no reason for displacing Mr..
Moss except on that ground, for
he has made a record for diligent
and capable administration OF the
office. and his continuance in it
is not only a tribute TO him but an
evidence of broadmindedness on
the Mayors part that will have a
wholesome effect on the public in
general.

LETTER TO EDITOR
President Garner OF =. Il. c. A. Calls
Attention To Situation As Regards
.SmalI.pox Lott

To the Editor Of the EUening Capital:
Sir: / notice that the City Faith
order to lease TO the Board Of County
Commissioners the smallpox lot
near the city limits at the nominal
sum of one dollar year. The pur-
pose of the lease is to enable the
County Commissioners TO secure site
10 build a stable for the county teams.
Both parties TO the contract seem
to have overlooked the fact that, last
September the county government ac-
quired the use OF the lot in question
from the city government, and the
former thereupon turned the same
over TO the S. p. c. A. as a place
for burying the dogs which the Society
might have occasion to destroy in the
discharge of it's duties as administra-
tor of the dog license law.
The city's contract with the County
Board reads:
"It is further agreed that this
agreement shall remain in operation
and force so long as the. present sys-
TEN of licensing and taxing dogs is in
operation and force"
That is. the city is debarred from
entering into another contract even
with the County Board until the law,
on which the September contract is
Jased, has been repealed or modified
A strange amendment was attached
to Mr. McCready's resolution. while
il was pending before the Council
namely. that the lease might be va
Gated on the lessor giving the lessee
60 days notice. Note that this is the
leasing OF land hy the year In such
cases the rule is for the landlord to
give the tenant months uotice to va
ate. In this case. as the S. p. c. A.
has control of the lot, the County
Board is not free TO make any other
disposition OF it,
Again. as the purpose of the lease
is to give the County Board a place
to build a stable, il can hardly be
conceived that they will DO foolish
enough TO go to several thousand dol
lars expense and be subject TO vacate
the premises at any time on receivi,
notice TO move on 60 days or even
in months.
1t seems to me that the only proper
procedure would be to acquire the
property by purchase. Then they
would not lose their stable. Being at
tached TO the land, it could not be leg
silly removed.

Pres. S. p. c. A.

JUST THOUGHTS

Peculiarly of ignorance IS that 1t is
hardly ever ashamed.
Telling folks not to be jealous is
like telling them not to worry.
No one hates rain like a man whose
pride is his tightly wrapped silken-

.INCLE JOE- RETIRES

"Uncle Joe" Cannon is tired
and through. At So he looks back
upon 60 years of almost continu-
ously spent in the public service.
Oldest of the Elder Statesmen"
of his party. he has run the gamut
of experience. He had great pow
or and was shorn of it. He has
known high honor and utter re
pudiation. He has tasted unstint-
ed praise. and bitterest attack.
And through it all the omnipres-
cnt cigar has never wavered at its
jaunty angle of good-natured
challenge.
The Uncle Joe" who prepares
to surrender the reins OF respon-
sibility today is not the Joseph
G.. Cannon who was dethroned
from his czar-like rule little more
than n decade ago. Time has
mellowcd his nature. The fire
and courage of the stout heart the
piCtuTeSqucncSS OF the tafnlllaT
figure, the amiability of the mag
nctic personality stand out in re-
lief.
Naturally enough. Uncle
Toes" mind runs today to phil
osophic Renaissance. Some
times they're not successful nor
appreciated until they've gone
across" he remarked the other
day. thoughtfully Is there in
this touch of disappointment?
There need not be. He has come
back; and if it has not been to
the old station it has been to a
higher level of popular apprecia-
ton.

LOVE AND LUCK

A writer learned in love lore has
made the following list for the use of
the superstitious.
If you bump against a closed door,
you will not be married for a year.
If two sisters marry two brothers,
one of the couples will not live hap
PLY.
A man and his fiancee should not
stand up together at a christening or
they will never marry.
Sweethearts should not have their
photographs taken together; if they
do they will never marry.
II you keep writing your future
husbands name before you have taken
ii on, you may never have it.
If you hear of the marriage of
friend. you should not exclaim that
you wish it had been you, or you win
not marry.

THE FARM JOURNAL SAYS:

A cookbook is food for thought.
Worry fills more graves than want.
Plant Objectionable cats at the roots
of the grape-vines.
one way of showing love is to keep
the wood box filed.
See that your farm tools and imple-
ments are under cover.
A blotter is something we look for
while the ink gets dry.
The aristocrat of the garden is the
one-time despised potato.
We wonder what barber set the style
for shaving a mules tail?
The birds are your feathered
friends; do you know why?
There is the railway switch and also
the kind that father sometimes used.
Do not talk disarmament and then
give your children toy soldiers, guns
and tanks.
Some women won't be happy in
heaven unless they can scrub it out
twice a year.
There may be a greater thing in the
world than loyalty, but Just now we
don't know what ii is.
