OPPOSE

Much Remonstrance Against the Present System of Road Repair— New System is

Said to Be in Sight.

The feeling against scraping the roads grows stronger each year, as the folly of the method becomes more apparent. There is a strong feeling against the road scraping machine itself, but more against the persons who operate the machine in a way not calculated to benefit the highways. The objections to the road scraper and the way it is used, have often been repeated. It simply drags the stones, sod and mud into the center of the road and makes the road-bed rough and uneven, instead of level and smooth, as was the original intention. In addition, it leaves a trench at the side of the road-bed at the edge of the sod, which retains water that soaks into the center and softens the roadway.

There is no class of work which has been so shamefully neglected as road repair. Neither is there anything which should be done with greater care and precision. The public is greatly interested in roads. Everybody is directly or indirectly affected by bad roads. The men who do the work on roads are the ones the more closely interested in them, and they should desire to see them in the best possible condition. They should be jealous of .any expenditure of money on the roads which did not produce good results. The importance, and, it might be said, the imperative necessity of better roads is becoming more apparent as time passes. Heavier loads and greater speed is the crying demand, and the day when the roads will be systematical repaired under the direction

which should be smooth and welldrained, they are forced to the conclusion that there is something wrong. The man, or men, who do lie,t give an equivalent for the time and money spent on the highways is only hastening the day when the roads will be repaired in a business like way. Then the contractor, if he uses the grader or scraper, will use it to take the trash and water off of the road, instead of heaping it into the center.

The repair of roads should become a good-faith transaction, instead of a slighting job. There are many persons who think the drag ie a better tool than the grader for repair work.

One Who Has Worked Roads.

Almost a Miracle.

One of the'most startling changes ever seen in any man, according to W. B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Texas, was affected years ago in his brother. "He had such a dreadful cough," he writes, "that all our family thought he was going into consumption, but he began to use Dr. King's New Discovery, and was completely cured by ten bottles. Now he is sound and well and weighs 218 pounds. For many years our family has used this wonderful remedy for coughs and colds with excelent results." It's quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed. Price 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free at M. C. Quigley's.

The teachers at the Philadelphia school were given a surprise dinner Friday by the patrons of the school. Mrs. Frank Boone and Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Butler, of this city, were present.

AN OLD SOLDIER DIES.

John Ricliey, of East Greenfield, Answers Last Call. John Richey, age 72 years, died Friday at his home in East Greenfield, of dropsy. Mr. Richey was a Civil War veteran, having served through that long war. He leaves a wife and family. Funeral and interment Monday at 2 o'clock at the Mt. Lebanon church and cemetery, Rev. John Heim officiating. Oak S. Morrison, undertaker.

John M. Schenck, Fountaintown, Ind., recommends Foley's Honey & Tar Compound. He says "I was troubled with asthma about four years, so bad I could not sleep. I took everything I heard of for asthma and doctored also, but got no relief until I tried Foley's Honey & Tar Compound. It helped me from the first dose, and the continued use cured me. It is now a long time since I was cured, and I have no sumptoms of a return of the disease." M. C. Quigley.

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD FOR MUCH PUBLIC WORK HERE

Low Pi •ices Prevail For Early Contracts of the Season—Greenfield Contractors Are Bidding On the Work.

A Greenfield contractor says that the prospects for public work are very fair. Quite a number of the Greenfield contractors have made bids on work, but so far very few of them have been awarded contracts. That fact is due no doubt to the low price at which the early contracts are let. Many contractors are willing to make low bids on work in order to get work early in the spring. Better prices will prevail later in the season, and then Greenfield contractors will get their share.

ENOUGH TO GIVE HIM IDE HAY FEVER

Richard Hagans Buys Car Load of Hay in Illinois, At Upwards of $30 Per Ton.

Richard Hagans, the local dairyman, has symptoms of hay fever, but in his case it is due to the scarcity of that very necessary farm commodity.

In order to feed his cows properly, Mr. Hagans had to go to Illinois to purchase hay, and today he received a shipment of a car load, for which he paid upwards of $30.00 a ton.

Hay is about the scarcest article on the farm just now, and thosewTho have it are keeping it to take their teams through the heavy spring plowing and other work. It has been selling at sales at upwards of $30.00 per ton, and the farmers have been anxious to secure it at that figure, as it is one of the necessities during the spring plowing season.

Misses Emma Cox, Anna and Luna Elsbury, Jesse Cox and Garrand Lynam spent Sunday afternoon writh Knightstown friends.

Walter S. Eaton, of New Palestine was in Greenfield Tuesday. Mr. Eaton is postmaster at New Palestine.
