. ; Maintain Our County Roads The decision of the board of county commis sioners to instruct the county highway superintendent and the county attorney to petition the state board of tax commissioners for permission to make a temporary loan of $25,000, the money to be used for road maintenance, deserves the hearty commendation of every citizen. . ; The importance of good county roads is becoming, manifest every day. It is a foolish policy that would spend thousands of dollars for the construction of roads and then would refrain from borrowing enough money to keep them in good repair. One or two years of neglect will make a bad road out of a good one. Formerly the county had sufficient money to make its repairs. By deflecting the license fee receipts to the state highway commission not enough money has been left in the county treasury to defray the cost of adequate road repairs. The county commissioners must eiter make a temporary loan or let the roads go to ruin. Wisely they chose the former course. ; Wayne county's road system is one of the best in Indiana. Road experts say so. Tourists

express their pleasure1 and automobile owners and farmers of the county realize the difference between our system and that of other counties just as soon as they cross the boundary line. Public sentiment in Wayne county is wedded to. the theory of good roads. It stands behind

the commissioners in their policy of conserving

the roads by making a loan" to provide the funds. Moire progress was made in the good road movement in 1919 than in the ten previous years, says an authority. Generous appropriations for hard-surfaced roads have been made in many states and extensive projects are under way in many counties. It means a .woaderful development in the productive power of the country. Americans are fast forgetting their old apathy toward appropriating money for the building and maintenance of good roads. They are looking at good roads from a national viewpoint. They are, beginning to see that money spent on maintaining roads is not class legislation, beneficial to the farmer only. Good highways are a national asset. They benefit the mechanic as much as the farmer. Good roads bring the farmer to the market. Bad roads keep him from the market. If you want to link the rural districts with the cities, you must do so by roads. Steam and trolley lines cannot penetrate every district of the county, but good roads can. ' The building of good roads transforms a poor and depressed country district into a flourishing and happy one, provided, of course, that soil conditions are propitious. The best soil in the country can raise the best crops in the world, but if the farmer cannot move his crops to the market over accessible highways, he might just as well let his land lie idle and grow weeds and thistles.

CLOSING OUT A BAD LOT.

"What's in a Name?

Facts about your name; Its history; its meaning-; whence It waa derived; Its significance; your lucky day and lucky Jewel. BY MILDRED MARSHALL

(Copyright, 19X9, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) . MINNIE. The simple little name Minnie has

a most devious history. It originated away hack In Teutonic mythology, whfcre according to the story, when creation began, the cow Andumbla licked out of the stones a man named Bur, who was the grandfather of three primeval gods, Odin, Fill and Ve, and It was these three who gave life to the flrat pair of human beings. Will was the Will cf man. His name echoes rlAWl ti Wtll frit tVia n nna Ta

mythology in various combinations which savor boldly of Valhall and prefaces many other names. The Frank Queen Bilichilde was really Wlllihilda, meaning resolute battle. Her name was popular among Norse maidens and even had vogue in Teutonic countries. Willhelm was 'mnde in Germany and signifled 'reso- , lute helmet'. The feminine counterpart of this name was Wilhelmina. Al

ways pupuiar in uermaajr, n was adopted by England and penetrated Holland, where the most famous modern woman who bears the name is Queen Wilhelmina, beloved of the Dutch. England found the name a trifle

cumbersome in spite of Its regality and it gradually changed under British . Influence to Wilmet, Wilmot, Mina, and finally, the popular diminutive Minnie. America has reached out and extracted Minnie from the numerous derivatives, discarding almost all others, with the occasional exception of Wilhelmina, which invariably

changes to "Willie" or "Billie" under

our preference for diminutive. France makes the name ever more

ponderous by calling it Guillerume, Guillemette. Mlnette, Guilette, and

Miroi. In Spain Guillemina is popular and in Italy, Guglialma. Wilhalmine is preserved in Germany, interchanged with Minna. The regal diamond is quite little Minnje's talisman. It promises her fearlessness, invulnerability, and victory in any endeavor. To dream of it signifies victory over enemies, and to

wpar it on the left hand is said to

enhance the love of a husband for his wife. Saturday is Mlnne's lucky day and 6 her lucky number.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK COMMON PROPERTY. The good that we do whether It be in the words which we express or the works which we produce is, after all, common property. We are passers-by, every one of us Before me is a wonderfully fashioned work of bronze. I look upon it and am inspired. And others who drink in its beauty are uplifted, even as I. But, tho I bought it and have it near me, still I do not really own it. It is the common property of everyone who finds beauty in its lines. No one owns the trees, the flowers of the field, the birds of the air. They are common property, and we are all rich in their inheritance. Just the minute that a worthy word drops from the lips of you, or anyone, it becomes the property of the world! And what a property great and inspiring words are, after all! People are poor In heart only when they fail to function In their hearts. George Frederick Walls, the great English artist, once said that "unuttered aspiration may have a material force." And what he meant, I believe, was that fine and noble thoughts have their work in the scheme of things, tho they do not aU find expression at once. Your very attitude may count for much. But it counts for most as you make it the common property of everyone whose life you influence. t .

Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

We occupy a conspicuous place in belles-letters just now for the reason that we have steadfastly refused to write up Maererlinck's soul. That soul has been buffeted about, lambasted, Interviewed, dissected, diagnosed and battered until It begins to resemble the old shinny cane that the boys used to knock about the back lot. Although it is doubtless the most famous soul in the world, we will not delve into it with out literary stylus. The soul of our butcher is something different. We love to probe that to the limit, for it means something to us,

whereas the soul of Maurice cuts no congealed moisture in our young life. So far aa we are concerned, Maeterlinck's soul can go marching on. Why take a new census? Just put down the names of those who have been mentioned or have mentioned themselves for the presidency and the result will be about the same. ONE OF THE FIRST FAMILIES. (From the Sawyer County Record.) Wanted Washing I will do roughdry or family washing. I live in Dog-

town, in next to the last house on the right side of street going past Glovers. Mrs. Madline. Occasionally a want ad speaks the truth, as the folio-wing in the Brooklyn "Eagle" will prove: DISHMASHER wanted; call Victoria Hotel. Just to keep the record straight we mention the fact that according to Art Mann, a gentleman by the name of Lotts has a real estate office in the Bronx. HE WANTS 2.75 DYNAMITE. The following self-explanatory letter has been received by the Aetna Explosives Company: "Dear Sir: I would like for you to send me one of your Booklets on the uses of Aetna Explosive, Please sent all lnformatoins in useing it and if it is any danger to lay it by fire or to let it drop or hit it with a hammar or anything hard I would like to use it for rocks. Yours truly. J. F. ." Now that the New Year resolutions are all out of the way and forgotten, the world can swing back on an even keel again and business can continue as usual.

Perfumed gloves were much in favor with women In the time of Queen Elizabeth.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

The depredations of dogs among sheep flocks in the county during 1909, when 195 sheep were killed, amount to $1,350, according to the annual reports of township trustees filed with the county auditor. Mrs. Emma Smith was awarded $1,500 damages by the petit Jury in the circuit court, from the T. H. I. & E, Traction company for personal injuries sustained from getting of a passenger lnterurban in Cambridge City, June 30, 1909. The resignation of Daniel G. Reid and Richard A. Jackson, members of the famous "Group of Richmond Financiers," from the Rock Island and Pacific railroad caused much comment by local citizens.

aiATERNITY

AS THE HOURS PASS THE COMING OF BABY , DRAWS NEARER ARE YOU PREPARED? TT is natural to think of the expectant mother's influence upon the unborn babe. Her food, her habits, her hygiene, and even the condition of her mind, all have a part in determining the well-being or ill-being of her infant before birth. No one can be in doubt that the months which precede birth are of vast importance for the future of the child. It is therefore necessary that the expectant mother prepare herself. Mother's Friend gives comfort to expectant mothers by softening and making elastic the muscles dux ing the anxious months before maternity. THREE-GENERATIONS of mothers record the virtue of Mother's Friend for not only allaying distress in advance, but for assisting nature in assuring a speedy recovery for the mother. It renders the abdominal muscles pliant as they readily yield to nature's demand for expansion. As a result, the nerves should not be drawn upon with that peculiar wrenching strain.
