ton. was arrested yesterday by deputy
sheriff in a suit brought by Mrs Elizabeth

PENDANTS in the suit

association sold books of ''showy char
acter,'' but which were intrinsically of little
value These were offered to inexperienced
persons, she alleged. as limited editions de
luxe. The plan was, Mrs. Laidlaw alleged.
to sell the books by holding out promise
that the vender would find a customer who
would pay a much higher price for the
books. Such. she said. was the bait held out
to her by agents of Farmer and which in
duced her TO pay $1,000 for a set of Charles

from the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court whereby he receives $2O,3S0 from a

brokers, Mills Brothers & Co, 10 sell short
for him 10000 shares Of Reading Henry

not in position to deliver ali the stock. so
they borrowed 10000 shares from J. W.

final drop placed Henning in debt To Mills
Brothers & Co. al OF which he paid, ex-
cept about $4,000. Henning failed. but he
gave notes for his debt TO Mills Brothers
& Co The latter firm failed in 1907, and
the assignee tried TO get the proceeds OF
the Henning notes for the general cred

The turnpikes Of the county are
maintained by taxation. The dirt
roads by unpaid for work, of not more
than six days each year by all able
bodied male citizens between the ages
of eighteen and fifty. We, therefore.
have in effect at this time two sys-
TENS for repaiIi, x the free roads.
There is an increasing diSsatisfac-
tiOn on the part OF our citizens who
live on the dirt roads with the pre-
sent plans. Since our several sugges-
tiOns in the RECORD regarding roads,
number of our readers have written
us complaining of Injustice to them
in the general effect of the road sys-
tenn. But 70 tangible plan has been
laid before us to remedy the wrong
if there be any. 1t has only been a
few years since the turnpikes were
purchased and changed from toll to
free roads. In many, il not all the
contracts of purchase it is ii her Stip-
ulated or implied that the county will
con- inue to maintain the turnpikes
. as free macadam roads, The county
is, therefore. under contract to keep
up the turnpikes. The county levy
for 70 I'd purposes is up to the cOnsti-
tutiOnaI limit. When all the funds
TO- road purposes are expended, only
sm Ill portion goes t the dit roads.
In order for an improvement in the
dirt road system, plan must be de-
vised to either rebuild and keep in re.
pair the turnpikes cheaper than in
the past or enlarge in some way the
general road fund, for the county
must carry out its contracts with the
former owners Of the pixies. The dirt
roads, however, are receiving more at
tention than ever before, but this
does not satisfy the public. The RAP
i'd advancement Of the general social
condition demands that the improve
ment of the dirt roads keep pace with
other public matters, not, however to
the sacrifice of turnpikes but in the
betterment of both. We interpret
the law on roads t. contemplate that
the two road systems be applied in
harmony and more under one manage
