SUPERVISORS GET BUSY.
You Must Measure Roads Before
November 13.


Township supervisors who hope to
secure the benefit of state aid for
roads must measure all roads under
their jurisdiction and report to the
state highways department before
November 13.
The new law, passed by the last
legislature and known as the Jones
road law, provides that the state
pay the township so per cent. of the
amount of cash road taxes collected,
not exceeding, however, $40 for
each mile of road.
1t is the provision that reports of
roads shall be made to the high
ways department within six months
of the passage of the bill MAY 13)
which makes it obligatory upon the
supervisors to measure the roads
ana report before the thirteenth Of
next month, If they hope to get the
full amount of state aid that the
bill calls for.

The Indians are gaming in popula-

due to the fact that the white man
has stopped killing them and they
have adopted civilization to the ex-
tent of raising larger families.

In other words. can you write back

with his right. and when at a danes
school had his ears boxed by his

AT the present day he finds it con-
venient to circumyent unauthorized
