Thinks and reads, he has time for both; it is true
that the hardest task and the one most poorly done is the
sharpening of knives and tools. Without sharp knives the
best machine does poor work, while with knives sharp, the
poor machine does good work.
Tliesandy roads north and northeast)
of the city have long been an eye-sore,
in fact,.something a pood deal worse
than that, and the need of better and
more permanent roads has always been
apparent. Clare county is fast developing into an A No. 1 agricultural district, and with that development, civilization and progress comes the necessity for good, cheap' and rapid transportation facilities. The farmers
north are very willing to do all in
their power to bring about better
roads, in facC,' during the past year
have made more noted advancement
in road improving than ever before
during the same length of time, and
now, while none of the roads are one-
quarter as good as they should be, the
roads in the immediate vicinity of
town are in the poorest condition of
any.
Yesterday morning a large number
of the leading business men and heaviest taxpayers held a rather impromptu
gathering over J, F. Tatman's store
and formed the line of aqtion. Mr,
Tatman was made chairman and explained the obji ct of the meeting. It
was not necessary to explain why the
object should be carried out. That is
apparent to everyone.
Inasmuch as the road improvement
will be a direct benefit to all, it was
agreed that the citv council be asked
to appropriate $100 towards the improvement, and tbe following gentlemen vvere selected to Uy the matter
before that body.* Wm. "Wolsey, J. W.
Calkins and A. J. Doherty.
S. 0. Kirkbride and R. M. Mussell
were chosen to call upon the farmers
northeast of town to ask for donation
of labor a id teams, while 0. S. Derby
and J. A Jackson will visit the farmers north.
L. E. Davy, J. S. Boyd and J. IT.
Schilling were appointed to wait upon
the ladies regarding the furnishing of
dinner on the days of the bee.
j D. R. Rorison, 0. H. Sutherland and
J. F. Tatman will solicit funds and
1 labor.
I   The following committee of five was
1 appointed whose duty will be to plan
| and mauage the road work and they
■ are to meet at once, formulate their
plans and lay them before the meeting
which  will  be held  over Tatman's
store next week Thursday at 10 o'clock
ia the morning:   Carl Bellimr, F. Mc-
Creary, C. W. Perry, E. H. Waller and
J. A. Jackson.

The following from the Greenville
Democrat, showing the benefit to that
city from one small piece of work
done, acts as an incentive to the
live business men of this progressive
town to go and do likewise, and on
the larger scale.the better: ''One of
the best paying ventures ever made
by the citizens of Greenville was
when they took the first steps and
successfully carried out the project to
grade and gravel the road between
this city and Langston, Since the
road has been finished it has become
the main thoroughfare to this city
from the towns north, and, in consequence, much-money has rolled into
the coffers of the local merchants that
would not otherwise have gotten
there."        . ..

Very simple, but—now every rides:
should remember these two "huts," or
he will fail:
Before injecting cement, pump up
the tire.   If yoti don't, the inner tube,
will be flabby, like this,
and the cement will not get inside of
it, where the repair strip lies.
When you have a puncture, get right
off. Riding a tire flat, When it has a
tack or nail iti it, may damage it considerably.
