came to be the states of Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wis

Soon after they had landed,
Putnam's men surveyed the land
laid out streets and lots, and
built their homes. A fort, 1870
feet square with blockhouses at
the corners and dwellings along
the sides, was built and from
there they fought and survived
Indian wars. Named Campus
Martius by its builders, this fort
became the center of the lives
Of Ohio's first settlers. It was
in the northwest blockhouse that
many historic events occurred.
Here, the first civil court in
the Northwest Territory was
established, the famous great
banquet for the Indians was held,
the first ball in the new ter
ritory was staged, and the
American Union Lodge No. / was
re-organized {the lodge had
been formed as an army lodge
during the Revolutionary War;.
Campus Martius and River Mus
cum are two of the primary
sightseeing attractions in Mari
eta. There the home of General
Rufus Putnam has been restored
to its original condition and is
housed, along with many historic
exhibits and collections.
Still standing in Marietta is
the oldest building in the North
west Territory, the Ohio Com
cany Land Office, completed in
1888. From this office lands in
the territory were granted, sold
and plated.
In July Of 1888 the first civil

NEURITIS PAIN LIKE
AN ELECTRIC SHOCK

A middle-age woman told us
she suffered 3 years or torture
with neuritis pains. She said the
pains would strike her like an
electric shock. Today this lady
again enjoys life and says the
change is due to taking RUGON.
Her pains are gone and she is
entirely free of misery.
RUGON is helping so many
victims of rheumatism and neur-
tits because this NEW Liquid
Formula contains Three Wonder
full Ingredients. Not a tablet or
capsule. RUGON goes to the very
source of pain almost at once and
costs but few cents day to
take. So don't go on suffering.

Rockville Awards
Water, Sewer Bid

sewer mains on Rockville Pike

gressional Lane was approved
this week by the Mayor and
Council. At the same time the
city heads awarded the contract
for the project to Conova Bro.
theirs, of College Park, for
$l2,S32.
The project, scheduled for
later in the fall, was advanced
because the widening of the
Pike has proceeded faster than
the staff had anticipated. 1t is
necessary to complete the pro-
ject ahead of paving and improv-
ing this main artery of the city's
eastern section.
A large section of commercial
land will be opened up for de
velopment by this project which
will be completed before the first
of the year.

Ambitious
Road Plan
Readied

Montgomery County will soon
embark on one of its most ambi.
tious road programs. Contracts
have already been let in some
cases and in others the last bids
are due September 13. Director
of Public Works, Mason Butcher,
safS work could be expected to
start with Is days of receiving
the bids.
OF prime importance will be
paving of Montrose Road whose
south entrance and exit to the
National Pike is expected to re-
lieve the Town of Rockville of
the thru traffic which is now
spilled into the town because of
the present termination of the
Pike at the towns entrance.
December l has been set as a
proposed date when the Pike will
be open at this interchange and
the Montrose connection will be
completed. All through traffic
will then bypass Rockville and
may continue into Washington
via Old Georgetown Road and
Wisconsin Avenue.
Silver Spring, Kensington, Be.
thesda and residents in the east
ern section of the county will par
ticularly benefit by this road since
it will make it possible to reach
the National Pike without having
to take either Viers Mill Road or
Wisconsin Avenue to Rockville,
both roads being torn up in state
road projects.
Bids are due September Is on
the bridge over Rock Creek on
Cedar Lane. This bridge, which
is Immediately north of the new

higher than the present bridge.

proaches will be completed to the
connections with Cedar Lane.
Butcher indicated that the widen
ing of Cedar Lane itself cannot
be expected for sometime since
all rights of way are not yet con-
tracted for or surveys concluded.
August contracts were awarded
for the widening of Bannockburn
Drive to the Contee Sand and
Gravel Company. Inc. for $26,'
456 and for Dalveview Drive to
