''Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
1. Stays]are Electrically Welded to the strands forming a perfect union
and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully.
3. No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
i.   No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5 Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity.
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separate from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest improyed machinery:
11. Most of the weak points in other fences arc on account of the Tay
hei stays are fastened.
Our stays are amalgamatdd with the strands by means of electricity and
the strength of the fence increased a hundredfold over the strength of a
fence whore the stays are wrapped or clamped on the strands.
You may pay more nioney for other fences but you cannot get as good a
fence ss "Pittsburgh Perfect,"

Had A Pine Ride.
The seven-year-old son of A. B.
Walker created no end of excitement
on Liberty street yesterday afternoon
by driving off one of his father's livery rigs and not returning with it for
several hours. The rig stood in front
of the barn and the lad begged to
drive it around the block and his
father let him. He went, but wheu an
hour passed by and he had not returned Mr. Walker hecame badly
frightQfied and enlisted the aid of
everyone on the street to search For
the boy. After a three hours' hunt
he was still missing but shortly was
seen driving slowly up the street. He
had been around the boulevard and
was astonished that anyone should
cfuestion his ability as a horseman,—

Washtenaw In Luck.
The' fourth assistant postmaster general, who is at the head of the government rural delivery system, is notifying postmasters and highway commissioners in many sections of the state
that unless the roads in those yicin-
ities are immediately put in better
condition no rural Carriers will be sent
over them. This means that routes
will be shortened or discontinued.
Ann Arbor and Washtenaw county are
very fortunate in this respect. Postmaster Prettyman has been requested
to see that the roads in two or three
sections are improved but no threats
have been made of discontinuance.
The roads in these few places are not
ia bad condition and give little trouble
except in the spring —Arin Arbor

Watch The Dogs.
In the vicinity of Woodland and

caused by rabies. Cattle, hogs and

drought and a number of the people
have gone to the hospital at Ann Arbor for treatment. It stands every
one in hand to be on the watch for
dogs and as soon *<s auy display signs

The Beautiful Raisin.
't -   iss=. ii
The fad of rowing up the river in
a boat and taking lunehcon in the
cool shade of th'e beautiful trees that
line its bank on either side has been
indulged in by the young people of our
village. But some of the. older people
are coming to realize that the scenery
is beautiful and besides, there are
places where black bast and occasionally a pickerel can be caught, and
that makes the attraction doubly good.

Another Kind of Guest.
"Won't you please write in iny guest
book?" said a woman to the friends
she had entertained at dinner. And
she brought out the treasured volume,
with its record of hospitality. The
names were inscribed.
"Why, what's this?" said the modern Eve, as the pages were fluttered
hefore the book was returned to its
owner. "There are lots and lots of
names in the back, and all in your
handwriting, too."
The hostess laughed. "Do you want
to know "what these names are?" she
asked. "Well, I suppose I might make
a confession. They are names of
guests, all right, hut of another kind.
It's the list of the servants I have had
since my housekeeping experiences
began."

question that even Mike Bobbins can't
