day of this week The farmers are
said to be angry because of what
they term incompetent bridge build
ing and road making, 1t started
in Morgan township Franklin COun
ty, just east of Bows, also in Wright
county in that locality.
County supervisors, county engi.
neers and the state highway com.
mission are all criticised. The high
water of June took out several con.
crete bridges, being of insufficient
capacity and poorly constructed, it
is alleged. 1t is said that requests
made to the state highway commits
sion were unheeded
To Talk Over Troubles.
Logan. la, Sept. 30.Two questions
of interest to the tax payers of Har
rison county have been placed on the
programme and will be discussed by
the members of the Riverview Far
merS' club near Missouri Valley at
the next regular meeting:
Would it be more profitable for
the taxpayers If the drainage
work of the county was taken
away from the board Of super
visors and placed in the hands
OF drainage committee?
Would it be advisable for Har.
rson county to issue twenty year
bonds to make all bridges and Cul-
verts of either steel or concrete?
The contract for the Construction
of the characterization county ditch
was awarded for $4,000 above the
estimated cost of construction, it Is
charged The shifting of the $40
600 assessment of the levy in the Up
per Boyd River drainage district
plunged the county into litigation
1t is also claimed that there was an
error of $4,000 in the estimate OF
tho Willow Valley ditch.

tion suit was started Monday morn
ing by a Havelock citizen, A. G.. Oh
recht, to pre- vent the board of sup
ervsors from ever repairing the rOaC

Palo Alto county road, which comes
straight south from Emmettsburg.

USES OF ASBESTOS
IN DOMESTIC ECONOMY

Tho use of asbestos In retaining heat
when 1t is needed. and preventing tho
dissipation and distribution of heat
where not needed is of great economic
benefit. Because asbestos will not
burn, II can be used with advantage
as means of protection against fires
It's great value should be moro gem
orally known. For roofing purposes,
as n noncombustible in preventing tho
spread OF fires, Its usefulness is we'll
attested.
The housekeeper' says a writer in the
New York Tribunef can lay sheet OF
asbestos over her gas burner and then
safely place kettle of jam upon 1t.
The heat Will be SO modified as to les

of the food. II the bread In the oven
is in danger Of burning black upon
the bottom, the cook can slip a sheet
of asbestos beneath the pan. If the
heat is too intense above tho loaf, the
protector is laid over It, The modern
iireless cooker, designed to hold heat
within box, may be lined with sheet
asbestos to resist the escape OF the
heat from the Enclosed bucket OF hot
