The state highway commission is ex-
pected to approve the action of the
county supervisors in adding more
roads to the county highway system
from time to time. Tt would have been
remarkable if the supervisors had work
ed out a perfect system at the first at
tempt and, as it is the policy of the
state commission to encourage road
building in every possible way, no OPP
position to any additions to the system
that are approved by the county board
is expected from the state officials.

Following the custom inaugurated
last year the county board held spe-
cial meeting for organization on
Wednesday and the committees were
appointed for the coming year. The
plan of organizing the board SO that
the men who are responsible for results
will have charge of the work that goes
forward during the interval between
the election of new members of that
body and the November meeting Of the
board is good one. Unless the retir-
ing members of the board are very ex-
ceptional characters, less attention
would be paid by them to the business
of the county than will be given by the
men who take Office.

dts in Popular Opera Friday Night.

Kenosha had its first grand opera per-
Torrance in many years on Friday
evening when the Sheehan English,
Opera Company sang the tuneful score
of "n Trovatore,' to decidedly APP
preciative audience. The company
was an excellent singing company and
the production wds on scale sufficient
ly magnificent to awaken enthusiasm
among the unsteady inclined. The
cast was an entirely satisfactory one
and especial praise is due to the work
of Joseph f, Sheehan, Francis j. Boyle,
Miss Doris Marvin and Miss Mirth
Carmen. The chorus while not as
large as could be desired with such
production was well trained and the
ensemble numbers were rendered in a
manner t. bring applause and curtain
calls. The anvil chorus in the second
act proved especially pleasing
