EXPERT WILL LECTURE ON BRIDGE PROBLEM; DR. HAROLD ANNOUNCES

Dr. I. S. Harold has submitted the following: There is just as much interest In the Main street bridge as ever, not only on the part of the citizens committee, but the public in general. There is a feeling that all the facts and figures end representations with reference to the whole situation have not been frankly stated, that the public has not been taken seriously into confidence in the matter, and there Is a growing demand on the part of all citizens hav. ing the good of the entire community at heart to know the unbiased truth in reference to the whole situation. Negotiations are now on to secure 'an expert of national reputation to come and go over the whole situation, giving a lecture with sterioptlcan views of the important bridges of the country, why in some cases a level bridge is better and in others why a 6lanting bridge Is more preferable. Asks Commissioners to Delay The county commissioners will be asked to await his coming before making any decision in the matter. He will be here some time next week. Full announcement will be made of the meeting and all are invited to come and see the slides and hear the lecture, let no one fall to be there. If u mistake should be made in the construction of the bridge it is irreparable as it should last for several generations' It is well therefore to give the matter the most serious consideration on the part of all our citizens. The whole matter should be considered on the high ground of community welfare and not from any selfish interests or motives. There should be no special interest in this matter that does not include the whole. When there is a grievance the State has already provided an equitable means of adjustment. Believes Road Will Help It would seem ungrateful and un-

any way try to binder a needed improvement to the county. The county commissioners do not want to make any mistake, and in order not to make any they should count the assistance of tha Ablest men that can be had, not allow any financial figures or statements to mislead them, so that finally when a conclusion is reached, whether for a slanting or a level structure there would be a feeling that the best had been done, that all are satisfied, there are left no sore spots, that no clannish interest had, been served, but all had joined together for the general good. Make the bridge speak of the past in honor of the pioneers who gave themselves for us and in the right kind of bridge will pass on to other genera, tions our good will; which like the marvelous sowing by the Sea of Galllea bring forth an abundant harvest of good will to men which will bring peace.

$1,135.38 EXPENDED DAILY FOR SALARIES

Teachers in the Wayne ' county schools draw salaries amounting to $1 135.38 every day that the schools keep. There are on the average 170 school days a year and this makes the total expenses of teachers in the county amount to $193,015.38 for the year. These facts, were revealed In the annual report which County Superintendent Williams is preparing and which is due August 15.

"If all delinquent taxes in Wayne county are collected, the tax rate can be lowered between seven and eight cents," County Treasurer Chamness said today. The delinquent taxes are coming in rapidly and Mr. Chamness said that he had hopes that the two deputies who are at work on them will get most

of them in without much trouble.

Unless several people pay up their back taxes tomorrow their property

will be levied upon. The deputies go

and warn those who are back in their

payments first and then if they do not pay, drastic action Is taken. Most of those who hold back pay up as soon as they find that a levy is really go

STOCK FEEDER TYPES

S STUDY AT MEETING

One of the largest and best-attended demonstrations for stock breeders was held Saturday afternoon at the Knode

and Souders farm, north of Hagerstown. A great crowd of Stockmen filled the big tent which was erected especially to accommodate the visitors who came from all parts of Indiana. The demonstration was held under the auspices of the Wayne County Stockbreeders' association, of which Harry B. Macy is president. Chester E. Keever is the secretary. Practical talks of instruction were given by a number of specialists. Different angles of the subject, "Breeding and Feeding of Cattle and Hogs," were discussed by Morris Douglas, Flatrock, and K. K. Kirk, Spiceland. They showed the best lines of stock to raise for market and the best to produce for dairy and

For fifteen years I was a slave to alcohol. Every penny, I could get my hands on was spent over the bar. I earned a good salary, and at first I was able to disguise my condition, but finally my employer began to grumble. I fought and prayed against it, still I sank lower and Jower until I lost my position. Then my friends turned me down one after another, until I was left a wreck and alone. Whiskey was the cause of it all. I was kicked around from one place to another. Drunk practically all the time. All I wanted or cared for was whiskey, and I had reached that point where I

would not stop drinking of my own accord. A friend of former days wrote my sister, whose, home was in Germany, telling her of my pitiful condition. She consulted a famous chemist. He gave her .the prescription, a secret formula, and told her if she could arrange it to put it in my coffee or tea it would destroy the appetite for alcohol in any form. She took the first steamer for New York and when she found me I did not recognize her, and she hardly knew me. She immediately began to give me the remedy without my knowledge. In a few days after she arrived I noticed that whiskey did not taste the same. I tried other saloons with the same result. After a month I could not drink a drop, and in a short time my health began to Improve, my brain to clear up. All the desire had left me. The chains of alcohol slavery had been broken. I was a new -man- I secured a splendid

position and have never taken a drink since, The craving has never returned. After eight years my sister told me how she worked it and gave me the formula. She was afraid to tell me the secret before, for fear I might go back. It is a simple, inexpensive,

Meyers received much praise. Knode and Souders also had on exhibition 200 head of cattle of exceptional quality and breeding. Hogs were also exhibited.

ENGLAND'S HOSTILITY CAUSED WAR AGAINST GERMANY AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1. England's hostility to Germany was caused by commercial rivalry, Count Von Reventlow, German military expert, stated in a lecture at Munich.

Each powder makes a dose. Do not let the individual know Tescum is being administered. It is tasteless and can not be detected by any one. In a short time all desire for driuk should disappear. I feel so grateful for what it did for me that I am glad to tell the whole world about it. H. J. BROWN, Beckman Bldg., Cleveland, O. Adv.

Police expect eventually to capture the thief or thieves who entered the residences of Norman A. Hoffman at Glen Miller park and Wilson Reynolds, 300 North Twentieth street about noon . Sunday.

While the superintendent is not wholly satisfied with the explanation of their conduct about the time of the dual robbery, he made no arrests.

SERGEANT BOND FEARS PROVISIONS OF BILL

Fear was expressed today by Sergeant Bond that one of the provisions of the army appropriation bill now before congress requiring the consent of parents to the enlistment of young men between the ages of 18 and 21 years will be passed. This will change the act of June 3, 1916, which authorizes the acceptance of men over 18 without the parent's consent. "About sixty per cent of the applicants for enlistment are between these ages and the average parent is reluct-, ant to giving a written consent because of a lack of knowledge of the advantages offered," Bond said today.

All pr.ess agents are not prevaricators and JohnnyJones' advance heralder is entitled to a front seat among conscientious advertisers. This fact was proved conclusively at the opening last night of Johnny J. Jones' big shows on the lot opposite Glen Miller Park when Richmond amusement lovers, who turned out en masse to see the Mayor officially open the Druids Carnival Week, were astounded at the size and grandeur of the Jones exposition. No carnival which has visited here up to this time has made such a big hit. That is the greatest attraction of the kind which has ever appeared in Richmond is the consensus of opinion among those who journeyed to the show last night. The Wild West is a complete circus in itself and the Animal Arena exhibits specimens of a score of different kinds of forest bred beasts which are seen in extremely exciting performances with trainers one of which is a frail little lady who appears to embody in her graceful anatomy about one hundred percent courage. There is a troupe of midgets, eight in number, who hail from six different European nations. Each of these tiny people is a star in some particular line of entertaining and the result is one

of the most novel exhibitions which has ever appeared here. As a thriller, the Whip, Jones' new riding device 13 in a class by itself and the Witching Waves, also an innovation, provides the most unique sort of amusement. Tiny monkeys race automobiles about a steel track In one of the shows while at another the popular topic "Preparedness" is the theme of the exhibition. One sees a statue turn to life and the woman transformed back into stone at the Revelation, which is the most elaborately staged of all the Jones attractions and is said to be the most expensive production ever shown wider canvas.
