republican votes come from. Now II
this aforesaid steam roller was man
ned by real representative OF Hi

a lot OF defeated politicians like

who have been turned down In their

It Is stated that all of the local dealers will have space in the show room and that every car handled here will be among those displayed.
 Secretary F. w Brownell, who is handling the bookings for the show, re- ceived many space contracts last week and is very much grati1ed with the out look. It is stated that the show here. if as successful as desired. will stim- ulate interest in automobiles 10 q con- siderable degree. Heretofore 1t is said there has been some timidity on the part of some dealers 10 enter into the general cooperative plans. However, recently the organization of the dealers' association, and lately the automobile show plans have brought them close together. Taken by and large the sit uation looks fine. 1t is said.

The Law end the Fence

From the New Orleans Finayune.
 A Texas court of appeals has just rem dered decision defining what is a legal fence in the Lone Star state II s that a legal fence must be a least five feet high and be of such construction that a hog may not go through t.
 The requisite for a lawful and sufficient fence laid down by Nrgnian magis- trate many years ago seems to fill the bill better than the judgment of the Texas court. Without specifying the ma teriai of which it was constructed, the requirements were that it should be s'horse high, pig tight and bull strong. ." Any fierce over which a horse could leap or a pig push through or bull break down was not a lawful fence and the fact that il had been so surmounted, penetrated, or broke down absolyed the owner of the animals that had accom- plshed such invasions from blame or liability for loss
 Since no rule of laws or morals can be made as invloable and invincible as was required of lawful fence the police and the courts are constantly standing behind them to protect the interests for which the laws stand
