Hoagland, which had boon working on tho Lincoln Highway cast of the bridgo, has been transferred to tho voad leading east from the experi mental farm, which will bo graded as far as tho Mylandor turn. The roads demanding grading is greater than tho capacity of one xnachino, and tho com missioners havo in contemplation the purchaso of ono, and perhaps two, mora tractors. Tho fact is, each com missioner district should each havo a tractor and grader, as it frequently happens that each district sorely needs tho present tractor at tho some time. Their, too, the expense of moving one tractor from ono section of tho county to another is no small item of expense. Thero is a universal demand for good roads, and tho commissioners are ualng every possible effort to im prove as far as possible every road in tho county that Is usod to any great extent. Exhibits "for Slnto Fair.

Often it had been necessary to go to the dentist several times to have even a simple piece of bridge work finished. , excuse for so much delay. inability or lack of inclination to do nowadays SHOULD do it, quickly and matter of following the newer methods dental equipment. You will find that in exactly the same high-grade methods and you may have traveled long distances to There are very few kinds of dental work we cannot complete for a patient in ONE DAY. And remember this. The only kinds we don't do in no one day if necessary, arc confined to cases which NO DENTIST IN THE WORLD could do and do right in so short a time. Our motto is expedition but NOX haste. Keep in mind that all our work is ABSO LUTELY GUARANTEED and that it must therefore be as near perfect as human ingenuity and skill can make it. DR.
