Our neighboring town, Bed ford, is to have a fifty-thousand dollar bank building right in the business center of the town. The building will be 45 feet wide, 70 feet long, by about 35 feet high, designed both on ex terior and interior in Ionic style, with portico at front. The en- , tire front and both sides on ex I tcrior will be Vermont White Eu 'reka marble. The building will be of fireproof construction and ; will cost about $50,000, and will be usod for banking purposes on- t-i i J iy. ineinsiae Deing arranged on one side for the First Nation al Bank and the other side for the Bedford County Trust Com pany, which has been recently organized. The interior fixtures will be of English vein marble and plate glass, trimmed with verde an tique marble. The inside walls will be richly decorated with pilasters, cornices and ceiling beams of ornamental plaster of Faris. The building will be equipped with vaults, large di rectors' room, rooms for ladies, gents, public, etc., all furnished ture, making it one of the most beautiful and up-to-date banking buildings of its size in the State. The interest of $50,000 at 5 per cent is $2,500, and this added to the insurance, heat, light, and general upkeep of the building will mean a pretty stiff rental, even if that sum is shared by the two institutibns. Good Roads Day. Perhaps, some of our readers may recall our story of how the people of Washington County, Pa., turned out last summer and built roads. The ladies went too, and cooked good dinners on im provised furnaces along the roads. The benefits to the Coun ty, for that day's work, were so satisfactory, that another good roads' day has been suggested probably May 20th. Washington county has a Good Roads organi zation, and through it, an effort is being made to enlist the coop eration of every county in the State. Governor Brumbaugh is said to have caught the infection of Good Roads Day enthusiasm, and it is probable that he will issue a proclamation, and name May 2Cth as Good Roads Day for the whole State. Reports by counties will reach the people tiirough the newspapers; so we must not let Fulton's report be behind that of any other county. We will publish the governor's proclamation, if he make one, as soon as we receive it But would it not be a good idea to begin preparations for a good roads day, State day or no State day? It is impossible for the Highway Department to quickly reach and repair all of the reads taken over by that institution. Good Roads Days, when town and country people turn out and make mile3 of roads, is the only way by which we will escape having to rattle over bad roads, in many localities, during the next five to ten years. Apparatus For Making Ice. Every farmer can have his own ice plant at a cost of from $13 to $20, if he will use the apparatus described in a new bulletin just issued by D. J. D. Walters, pro fessor of architecture in the Kan sas Agricultural college. The ice plant is made of gal vanized iron and consists of a double tank with an inner tank about 10 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 12 inches deep. The top of the tank should be slightly wid er than the bottom. The inner tank should be divided into six compartments by means of gal vanized iron strips. This double tank should be pla ced near an outdoor pump where the compartments can be easily filled with water. Being expos ed on all sides, the water will freeze in from one to three hours A bucketful of hot water pour ed into the space between the two tanks will loosen the cakes so that they may be removed. One freezing will give five cakes of ice each weighing 120 pounds. Fourteen freezings will yield four tons of pure ice, or enough to last an average family for a year. The cakes of ice can be packed away in sawdust in the cellar as they are frozen. Of course, this ice plant must be operated in freezing -weather, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHY EVERYBODY ELSE TRADES AT THE RACKET STORE The reason is simplevery simple Direct and straight to the point.
