and danger of causing disastrous tires. It la always best to be careful and you can't use too natch caution when handling explosives. The general committee of the 1 semen celebration will get busy Monday and for the next seven weeks will need the assistance of every citizen of this county. The big meeting will lie held the latter part of August and will be a memorable event in litis sec (lon If the proposed plans can he carried out successfully. That part of It is up to you for it depends on how much co-operation is given. According to the Fort Wayne News tile state board of education will take action in the case of small high school to prevent the employment ol teaching forces out of proportion to the number of pupils served. It Is slaimed these schools show an overhead of S4OO per pupil per year hut since the communities pay their own hills what business is it of the state hoard? There is no doubt that In some cases the high schools are burdensome but it is a question which each corporation should decide fur themselves it would seem. The city of Montpelier, Indiana is going dry—good and dry—it seems at present. For years the light and waiter plant were operated together by the Indiana General Service Company, with headquarters in New York City.

commission for the right to close the plant because it shows a loss. This gives them the greatly desired oppotunity to run the electric plant at a profit but lets the citizens carry their water, it wilt be line for the stockholders but how about the people who live in Montpelier? A fine sample of the way that the taxpayers' money is being used under the hoard and commission form of government is shown in the activities, or rather, inactivities of the employees of the highway commission on the state highway north of Portland. For two or three weeks, a small army of men, equipped with enough tools to build a dozen roads, lias been at work, or supposed to have been at work, re pairing the brick road, by putting crushed tone in tlie holes and covering it with tar. Blit the work is not much more than started yet. On last Tuesday, a shower came up shortly after noon, which lasted for about a half hour. The road repairers climbed into a closed automobile, and for (lie remainder of the afternoon were observed to be occupied with a game of cards. This would not have happened had a contractor had charge, but the repairs would have been completed several days ago. But the superintendent was not on the job in this case, being absent either in person or in spirit. He gets his appointment from Indianapolis and does not liavo to worry about what the local citizens and officials think of him. The federal government pays part of the expenses of these state roads, but if Hie county were given tile money to spend on its own roads that the state and government use, "Better roads Unless money,,' would become a reality. — Portland Sun.
