TO IMPROVE ROADS
Council Committee Will Meet Mitch
ell Township officers to Combine
Road Work.

The condition of the roads rum
ming into Mitchell from nearly every
direction nave for years been a sub
ject OF discussion, in that they We're
so poorly kept up that is was diff
cult for people to get here and do
their trading. All previous efforts
to make an improvement in this
direction has never resulted in any
great benefit.
Things are looking brighter at the
present time for something to be
done. Arrangements have been made
through the instrumentality of
Charles Krom to bring the Mitchell
township board and a committee
from the council together so that
the can arrange a harmonious pro-
gram for the future. John Michels
the chairman of the street and alley
committe of the council, has named
P. H. Kelley and John McDougal to
act with him in this matter and they
will hold a meeting in a week or
ten days to lay out the territory that
each committee will look after in
the future.
1t is probable that each committee
will take the end of the road lying
nearest their district and keep it
in thorough condition for travelling,
and we hope that there will be a
strong rivalry kept up between the
committees to see which shall have
the best piece of road in their ter
ritory.
The roads have been left long
enough to take care of themselves
that they are very bad and many peo-
pie have, at times, been forced to
take a circuItious route to get into
the city.

TNIE FAST ,NAAILIL

From boyhood up, Pat Finnigan
and Mike Flanagan had been riv-
ais. They both possessed the rae
ing instinct. Each wanted to hold
a speed record. Fortune invariably
followed Pat. but Mike claimed
that his inning would come. In
later life they had become master
mechanics, and the best engineers
on the western divisions boosted of
the improvements each had made
on the various parts of their fast
locomotives.
For some time, however, Pat and
Mike had taken charge of design
ing. construction and operation of
mechanism to be employed in the
production, transmission and utiliz-
alton of gas to be applied to aerial
navigation. They were experts on
the application of energy and
headed the list of practical men in
their line. Physically and mentaolly
Pat and Mike were opposites. Pat
was a robust fellow, with large
brown eyes and jet black hair. He
was clustering specimen--a hot

BALLOT FRAUDS
IN CINCINNATI

CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-More
than 5000 challenges against
known repeaters and foaters in
the Cox gang were filed In the vari-
Gus downtown precincts by the
honest election committee on the
night before election.
The detectives and investigators
of tho. honest election committee
have discovered more than 5000
definite casTs of fraud in the reg s.
traiion lists of Cincinnati. They
have under investigation 5000
more cases, which are nearly ready
for prosecution.
Thousands of arrests are threat
ened by the honest elections COM
mittee if the Cox gang floaters at
tempt to cast Their illegal votes to-
day.
Charges of perjury will be made
against those Illegal voters who
swear to their votes after being
challenged. The law of the election
challenge requires that voter, If
challenged, must, swear to the facts
he has given in registering. This
oath, if taken, is binding under the
law. If the oath can be proven
false in any q rticular, the crime

discovery, Giroux forced legislative
investigation of the state institu-
tions, and the tales of horror made
the whole state shudder.
In his campaign Giroux reads af-
fidavits and exhibits photographs
of his son to prove his statements,
and he impresses his hearers with
his sincerity and eloquence. He has
addressed thousands and the demo,
cratic campaign managers believe
he has made votes for Adlai Stew
enson, Deneens opponent.
Should Giroux's eloquence turn
the tide in favor of Stevenson, the
election may be compared to the
war of jenkins ear In the
eighteenth century an English ship
captain named Jenkins was multi
ated by Spaniards, his ear being
chopped off, because he would not
or could not give information de-
manded by his captors. Upon his
return home he exhibited his ear,
in alcohol, and related his story
with such eloquence that the popu-
lace forced George H. and Walpole
to, declare war on Spain.

of his diminutive stature and phys
ical weakness and resorted to
tricks to gain his ends.
Both responded to a call from
Washington. The postmaster gen
eral wanted their bids for carrying
fast mail between New York and
San Francisco. While waiting in
the lobby they got into an alterca-
ton and a fight was narrowly
averted. Each claimed that he could
turn out an air flyer which would
make the run in 80 hours. "Wen,
gentlemen. If that is the case" was
the official question. you can fly
for your money" Each realized
that there was more money back of
the contract than any concern had
obtained since the signing of the
declaration of independence. Sue
ceedmg generations, moreover,
would sit up and hook at the picture
OF the winner.
Pat and Mike hurried to their
respective companies and got busy
The papers aired the affair and the
record of each engineer was ex-
haustively reviewed Nothing else
was talked about. All agreed that
the contest lay in motor construc-
ton and clever manipulation. Bets
involving enormous sums were
made At the end of 30 days reports
were called for.
Each was ready. Mike had been
on duty constantly. snatching his
sleep by spells as the work pro-
crossed. While the construction
had gone on in secret, the test
flights showed that there were
places for six men on each side of
the framework beneath the huge
gas bag. Mike went over the ma
chine the day before the start and
viewed his sky racer with pride and
satisfaction. Pat was equally con
fident. He had never been outdone
by his rival and had no fear. He
was even figuring on purchasing an
estate in Ireland and retiring on
the profits of his contract.

If the rainter did not mix it thus 1t would be as unscientific as a patent medi. cine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and pure linseed oil.
