Housekeeping Is Not the
Task It Used to Be
f ODERN invention has done away
with much of the hard work,
for instance, the cleaning and
polishing of hardwood floors, the dusting
of moldings, the tops of high furniture,
the stairs, under the radiator, etc. These back-breaking tasks
are now made easy with the
D€
Polish
With it you can dust, clean and polish a hardwood floor in
the time it formerly took you to get ready to do it.
Besides, you do not have to get»do\vn on your hands and knees to dust
under the bed or other hard-to-get-at places, or
to stand on a chair to dust the top of the high
furniture. All of the hard work is now made
easy with the O-Cedar Polish Mop. „ It gathers
all the dust or dirt from everywhere and holds it. The mop Is
easily cleaned by irashins and then, renewed hy pourins on a
few drops of O-Cedar Polish. *

"IT CANNOT BE DONE."
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin
On his face.   If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That Couldn't be done—and he did it.
Somebody scoffed; "Oh, you'll never do that—
At least no one has ever done it;"
But he took off his coat, and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done—and he did it!
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit o'f a grin, w
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done"—and you'll do it.
DANIEL O'CONNELL
Pretty Musical Comedy Pleased Audience Monday Night
A fairly good house greeted the Ypsilanti players at the presentation of
"Daniel O'Connell" at the opera
house on Monday evening.
While there isn't much in the way
of plot to the piece, being designed,
evidently, more to amuse and please
than to evoke serious attention, the
action flows freely along to*a satisfactory conclusion. The villain is justly
circumvented and the gay Irish hero
is triumphant at the proper time.
The musical numbers were generously interspersed throughout the
action of the play and were thoroughly appreciated, several encores being
called for and graciously given. The
leading male voices were far above the
ordinary, and the ypung ladies' better
than fair. The choruses were exceptionally well done, and all in all, it
was a treat good to share in.
The high school, for whose benefit
the performance was given, is a neat
sum ahead as a result of the venture.

If Anything Be Done on Good Roads
Next Year.
As the county road system was carried at the recent election, unless the
board of supervisors holds a special
session sometime before the middle of
the coming summer it will be impossible to build any good roads in this
county before the summer of 1915.
Under the good roads law the supervisors cannot spread the good road
tax until they receive an estimate
from the road commissioners for a
certain amount of money, which cannot be more than two mills on each
dollar of assessed valuation. Unless
a -special meeting is held to elect these
commissioners early in the summer,
or some arrangements are made for
electing them at a special election, it
will be impossible for them to certify
to the board how much .money is
wanted or On what plan it is to be expended. It has been supposed that
they could do this at the January
meeting of the supervisors. But the
law prescribes that the certification
must be made before October 1, so that
the tax can be spread before December 1. Since there was a meeting of
the supervisors last January there will
be none next January. In other
words the commissioners elected at
the.'October meeting would be unable
to claim any money for road building
until the rolls are certified to the October meeting of the board in 1914.
The tax would then be spread and
some time in 1915 the first road building could actually begin.
Now once in every five years the
supervisors hold a meeting in June,
but this coming June.does not happen to be one of the times for a regular meeting; The only way the good
roads commissioners can be chosen in
time to present their estimate of road
taxes to the October meeting of_the
board will be to have a special meeting* of the supervisors early in the
summer to select three commissioners. These three commissioners are
to be chosen for varying terms the
first time, one for two years, one for
four and one for six, and thereafter
one will be selected every two years.
j.To hold a special meeting of the
j board/of supervisors a, petition signed
by ten of the twenty-nine members is
necessany.
