MIS BUM IU BE IMPROVED

At a meeting held at tbs office
of ths county commissioners and
•be members oi tbs board of road
su per visors in Hoi lidaysburg "one
day last wsek, the fiscal board of
the county sat aside tbe sam of
84,000 with wbioh to i roprove tbe
highway in Aotis township, beginning st ths state highway at
Mary Ann Forge, leading past tbs
Logon Valley cemetery aad
connecting with the borougb oa
South Martin *treet. Tbe entire
expense Ot tbe proposed improvement is estimated to cost at least
15500, fifteen hundred* of wbiob
will be born by the township of
Antis.
Tbis stretob ot highway bss
long been ia an unfit condition as
far as modern highways are concerned and the board of supervisors of ths township have been
sidled upon to make constant
temporary repairs, oaly to be
worn to a frazzle ia s few weeks,
dne to traffic of automobiles and
heavy doty trucks wbioh come
into oor town.
It is proposed to first scarify the
road, then lay a permanent foundation sod the top dressed with
amecite, snd wben completed,
assurance ia given by those who
era in position to koow that no
great upkeep will be necessary for
a period ot at least five years.
The taxpayers io this section of
the county are pleased to learn
of the action of the board of
coooty commissioner* in thus
assisting Antis township citizens
with their road problem Tbe
township hss many miles of highways to keep in repair aad tbe
cost of tbe same bss become s
serious, if oot burdensome problem.
Many oitisens are of tbe opinion
tbat some early attention sbonld
os given to tbe highway leading
through Glasgow's woods, soatb
of tbe boroogb, and tbe same be
placed in servioable condition.Yet
before much expense be placed oo
this road, a reaurvey ahonld be
mads and a Hoe made as near
straight aa possible from the
borough line try Pinecroft, where
it connects with the pablio road
leading ioto Altoona. There is
possibly five mileB of this rood in
Antis township tbst is nothing
more or less tbaa a dirt track,
and as tbe supervisors of Logan
township bave laid a water bonod
macadam road to the Antis township lines now is the time • that
some action sbonld bs taken
looking toward the improvement
ot the rosd in the Antis township
section. -
Who will be the first to move

Last week whoa things were

township farmer, stopped ths editor and said, "Tha old .Cooh^
News has always brought me re*
salts on anything I advertised for
heretofore, and I wonder if it
would help it I advertised for rain
now?" "Sure thing," said tbe
editor* "it never fails." "All
right," said Sam," "put ia a good
strong ad for rain and if it comes
this week 111 pay for it."
The ad for rain appeared all
right and—so did the rain Saturday. Sam, like tbe good sport he
is, walked into the News ^office
Saturday afternoon and planked
down the price ot the ad and said,
••Well, it sure pays to advertise in

SEVERE WINTER PREDICTED

Wlator Will Be Loag aai Dreary
And now tbe time has arrived
tor tbe weatherwiee to get to
work sad make predictions ss to
the kind ot winter weather that
will prevail du ring too lesson thst
is jast ahead of us. Many of these
prognosticate bass tbeir predictions on various causes. Those
who havs beeo io the woods in
the recent paat say that tbe bora*
ets are bailding their nests closs
to the groand whioh is a never
foiling sign ot a severe winter.
Others tske tbeir ooe from tbe
caterpillar whieh has made its
appearance recently and upon
examination say that its color is
very dark from end to end, whieh
is a sure indication tbat wiutsr
will begin early aad not 1st op
until late in tbe spring, with
plenty *of snow and zero weather.
Then others base their prediction on tbe severe dry weather
that has prevailed since the latter
part of Jooe, wben rain of little
or no consequence has fallen. Ths
streams are in low condition and
many ot them are dried up and
upon .this they stress their belief
that the winter will be loog and
cold. It is predicted that rains
will come daring the latter part
of September and October, fill the
groand and streama, and then an
early tall will prevail and in due
time Old Boreas will pat on tbs
blower sad winter will be upon us
with plenty ot snow and cold.
/Lad now we will wait aod see.
