plans are carried out, will open up
again this fall, probably in Novem-

Commissioners Pass Resolutions
The county commissioners have
passed a resolution under Sec. No.
1926 of the General Code, exempt
ing 2-mills for road levy outside
of all tax limitations. This was
done believing the road problems of
the county could be better met in
this way
The l. c. H. and main market
roads of the county will be taken
care of with state nelp, but the 9TH
er roads of the county can not be
taken care of in that way. In the
past any number of projects have
come to the commissioners in which
townships and property owners have
agreed to put up sums of money TO
improve certain roads if the county
would meet them with like dona-
tions, but the commissioners have
been powerless to do this for lack
of funds. In the past where the 2
mill money was turned back there
are only three taxing districts in the
county, in which permanent i'm
provements have been made. They
are Malta, McConnelsville and York
township. In the other districts
the money has been used TO patch
and make temporary improvements.
All the taxing districts will receive
under the new law all money COM
ing to the county from the sale Of
auto tags, which is a new source of
revenue for them, and can be used
for patching and temporary i'm
provements. The tax levys this
year are much lower than in former
years. the highest levy being 2180
and the lowest being 1910. Should
the extra 2-miIfs be voted for next
year, the levys for 1924 would NOT
be as high as they We're in 1922,
which rates We're, high 24.60, and
low 1S.2O.-County Commissioners.

WHY WEAR GLASSES

Seventy-twO percent of the people
who wear glasses do not wear them
because their SIGHT is defective. A
great many people, If asked why they
wear glasses, could not tell you other
than that they have a certain eye
trouble that causes their head to ache
IL they did not wear them. And
that's why so many people wear
glasses to RELIEVE certain nerve
and muscle tensions that cause ner-
vousness, headache and stomach trou-
bic. if neglected too long.
If you suffer from headache or dir
illness often, have your eyes examined
by a reliable man and If your eyes
are the cause of the trouble he will
be able to tell you just how you are
troubled without you telling him any
of your symptoms.
But be sure and get it in your
mind that the majority Of the people
do not wear glasses to make their
sight better. People who suffer most
from hidden eye defects that cause
headache and nervousness have good
clear sight.
