AUTOISTS BUILD ROAD
Eliminated Bad Spots ON Nor

Good road work is being done by

Under the inspiring and pertena-
tious efforts of DIR. E. A. Lyman,
secretary, backed by A. Asleson.
president and the other officers and
committee members things are &C
tually being done.
Last week the club used nearly
$500 in filling bad place on the
Morton road just east of town. The
spot had been blocking autos and
preventing loads of any size from
entering town over that road all the
spring. So the club got busy and
sent team out and had the hole
filled with gravel.
A similar condition existed on the
Delhi road west of town. No one
else arose ready to make the neces-
sary improvements so the club hoped
to it and filled the bad spot with
gravel. This is the kind of work
that counts.
The club now has a number of
drags distributed around the neigh
borhood and the farmers are using
them 10 great advantage. A decided
improvement in the roads is assured.
