EVERY MAN MUST
HELP IN THE WORK
Volunteers Wanted in the Fight
Against Bad Roads, One of the
Farmers Worst Enemies.

| aStlc meeting was held here on Tues
day, to arrange Il program for carry
ing out the idea, which is that every
citizen of the county give ut least
one days work on the roads of the
county. The suggestion was heartily
received, and committees, foremen.
etc, were appointed in each neigh
borhood. The ladies were also in
cluded, and respectfully "invitcd" to
prepare and serve dinner to the men
working on the roads.
The meeting was called to order
by Supervisor Daniels, who was also
| made chairman. w. G. O'Brien was
made secretary. A number of prac-
tical addresses were made. X. ID.
r. Harman, president of the Taze-
well Fair Association, Henry S.
Bowen, Robert Moss and others made
addresses and suggestions. One was
that all the towns in the county be
urged to cooperate; another, that
those unable to give n days work
be asked to contribute in money.
George A. Martin, county road en-
gincer, was appointed supervisor of
the work. The board of supervisors
agreed to furnish tools, etc, free,
but everybody is urged to bring such
tools rs they have.
The shortness of the time for prep
aration makes il necessary for those
appointed to go to work mt once, and
not wait to be called upon further.
Thursday and Friday, the 2lst and
22nd, were agreed upon MS the days
on which the work is to be done.
