National Road Repairs The Chester pike and the Liberty pike, main arteries of travel north and south, are considered to be in good condition for the application of a top surface, which the highway commission has ordered to be applied. The National road, east and west, hardest traveled of all highways in Wayne county, a direct interstate and transcontinental route, should be resurfaced instead of patched, as the commission plans to do, road experts say. The work, which the commission has ordered done on the four main entrances into Richmond, will cost about $13,000. The money spent for the improvement of the Chester and Liberty pikes will bring1 results and that applied to the improvement of the National road, east and west, will be wasted, in the estimation of highway men. They say the surface of the National road has been worn so badly in the last three years, during which it received no maintenance, that

repairs are futile. This year's work will wear out within-twelve months. A month at least will elapse before the repairs of this stretch are completed. Red tape in the highway commission's organization, lack of co-ordination among units, and a job too big for the commission are regarded as some of the reasons why delays have marked the course of road work in Indiana under the new system. As an example of the red tape system, this may be adduced. Before repairs could be made on the National road, it had to be passed on by two officials, one residing at Connersville, the other at Greenfield, and then it had to be referred to Indianapolis for final approval. Again, the commission will not pay more than 40 cents an hour for labor. Its officials are unable to employ labor at that price in many localities in this state, Richmond being one of

them. The result is that work is delayed and sometimes held up indefinitely. Owing to red tape and the necessity of minor officials awaiting approval of their recommendations before they can go ahead, inefficient re

sults are attained. The $13,000 that is to be spent on the four highways out of Richmond is an example. Repairs to the National road involve an outlay of money that should have been saved. The road does not need repairs, but needs to be resurfaced. It is badly worn. The commission's maintenance policy is unsound if it intends to spend money for repairs on rWds that should first be rebuilt. It's a waste of meny to try to maintain roads that are disintegrating.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

v J CARE! The office boy who wants some day to be president of the concern he works for, must begin by caring caring whether or not he does every little thing in the best way of which he is capable. The artist must care if he wants to become great for art is something more than the mere mixing of pigments. It is the application of one's soul In feeling to the running combinations of color that make up the final masterpiece. You have to care, if you want to go ahead. You have to care, as you climb, If you expect to reach the top. You have to care, as you dig and sweat and lame your back and blister your hands and feet. Then, in your achievement, you will learn that it paid to go thru these things. People will gather around you and praise you and send you bouquets and nominate you for offices and wish you well in everything. But nobody outside yourself will know what it all cost. And that very cost will mean more to you, in inside appreciation, than all the plaudits of the world could ever mean. Care! Big people always care. Edison, working far into the night, night after night, piling up hundreds of experiments, with his storage battery, that were failures Edison had to care, because he knew that there was an end to the road he was travelling, and that at the end of that road he would find his goal. Which he did. Those who undertake tasks which look far beyond their abilities, have to care. If you want to be more useful, If you want people to recognize all the ability you have, if you want to be further along tomorrow than you are today you will have to care about everything that you do.

Dinner Stones

"You say you served in France?" asked the restaurant proprietor, as he sampled the new cook's first soup. "Yes, sir; officers' cook for two years and wounded twice." "You're lucky, man. It's a wonder they didn't kill you." "Two men got into a fight in front of the bank today," said a man at the tea table, "and I tell you it looked pretty bad for one of them. The biggest one seized a huge stick and brandished It. I felt lhat he was going to knocH the other's brains out, and I jumped in between them." The family had listened with rapt attention, and as he paused in his narrative the young heir, whose respect for his father's bravery is immeasurable, proudly remarked: "He couldn't knock any brains out of you, could he, father?" Dibbins was dining with some people who were proud of the recent elevation of a member of the family to the House of Lords. "This." said his hostess, "makes the

SUMMER! It's moonlight on the Hudson, It is mating time in Maine. The unaffianced ladies scan The offing for a swain. Through gently drifting twilights Each local Cupid goes. To steal a certain author's stuff, "The dew Is on the rose." Some boarders seek the seaside, Some boarders seek the hills; The single ones in either place Seek sentiment and thrills. And find them in a motorboat Or roadster built for two; The same as we did way, way back In buggy and canoe. The scenes are set for courtship. The actors need no cues. The lovers get accepted And the parents get the news. Kaleidoscopic summer flirts, Then later as per plan, The parson carries on the job The mellow moon began. Leslie Allan Taylor. PERSONAL PREJUDICES. I never have much pleasure in the society of a man who says: "I seen him when he done it." I believe it is always wise to have a few photographs on hand. You may get famous by shooting somebody or something. I don't want to be president, but I don't believe my personal feeling in regard to the matter is all that keeps me out of the job. I don't believe I will ever like the reople who sit behind me at the theater. I don't believe any show Is worth $3 a seat plus war tax. I always want to live in an apartment when I live in a house, and I always want to live In a house when I live in an apartment. I have never accepted graft. I don't know what I would do if any were ever offered me. I don't think all cafe waiters own apartment houses. Some of them are too good natured to be landlords. Columbus had a cinch. All he had to discover was a continent, and It was right here waiting to be discovered. He ought to try our job looking for a house to live in. A vacation is so quickly done for, we often wonder what it was begun for. In Atchison they call mashers "corner cooties." The word "cooties" is still funny in Atchison.

New Plan Is Suggested For Oxford Water Supply; May Dam Four Mile Creek OXFORD, O., July 29. Engineers have suggested a new scheme in the matter of the ehortage of water in this village. It is now believed that by building a dam across Four Mile creek north of town, a Alteration reservoir will be kept full all the time, and that suffieient water will remain to furnish electric power for the pumps. Daily reckonings of the water supply are being taken for ninety days to ascertain what volume of water the stream will afford. The estimated cost of changing the present system is $75,000, and engineers say that the new scheme will pay for itself in ten years. Look For Wife-Beater. The village police are looking for Arthur Suel, a young colored man who has been in trouble many times. Yesterday Suel is alleged to have beaten his wife and child until their conditions are serious. When Mayor Hughes received word that Suel was supposed to be beating his family. Marshal Sheard could not be located, so the mayor deputized a by-stander and hurried to the scene. Suel escaped. Completes Accounting. After working three weeks on the village accounts covering the last three years, J. M. Howell, state in spector of municipal accounts, finished his work Wednesday. He complimented Clerk Beaton and Treasurer Smith on their books. The only fault he had to find was in certain legal advertising of last year. Several advertisements, he said, had been published more times than was necessary, or than the law allowed. He will call

upon the village solicitor and the

newspapers for an explanation, and j some money may have to be refunded.

Inspector Howell also said he doubted ; whether the village had the right to !

furnish light and water to persons living outside the town limits.

Gluttons for Punishment Lee Tires ask no favors of the road. On rough country roads their tough treads travel almost unharmed over sharp and jutting points that would tear the heart out of less sturdy tires. On paved streets and boulevards Lee Tires wear down surprisingly and pleasingly slow. If you knew how to make tires and none but the best would satisfy you, the Lee Tire is the kind you'd build.

So thoroughly good are Lee Tires that you'll get an entirely new idea of tire mileage and satisfaction from the first one you try. Let us show you why.
