NATIONAL ROAD ASSOCIA-
 TION ISSUES CALL
Want Good Roads Associa- tion Organized in Every Town.

The National Old Trails Road Association, through Judge J. M Lowe, its president, is issuing call to the country towns throughout the Middle West to organize good roads associations of some sort so as to be ready to take advantage of whatever may occur when the Shackleford bill is defeated or mod flied in the Senate.
 The spontaneity with which the press all over the country condemn ed the measure now pending has had it's effect it is stated from authoritive Washington sources, and the measure either will be put entirely out of commission or changed until it no longer has any resemblance to the original.
 It is stated that the Senate is con- templating granting the $25, ,OOO, GOO proposed by Congressman Shackle- ford but giving the construction of roads that go from town to town the preference over short lines from "the farm to the market. Such an amendment would make it al most necessity for small towns to organize good roads associations, Judge Lowe declares, if they are to win position on any of the perma- nent roads.

COUNTY HEALTH
 OFFICER HERE

pr. Manning, county health off, cer, was in town Saturday on a tour of inspection. He found that Williams, like a good many other towns, needs little cleaning up once in while.
 He was of the opinion that both under the town ordinances and the state laws that the vacant lots and the streets and alleys would have to be cleaned up. That it would be necessary for the town health board to take some kind of action at once and see that the town ordinances were enforced or the state would have to step in and take a hand. He was of the further opinoin that the town coun- cil could handle the proposition more economically and that some action must be taken within the next two weeks. Dr. Manning is a capable young man and under stands his business. We are infor- ned that no action on the part of the state will be necessary as our citizens have civic pride enough to clean up their own yards and al- leys, and the town council will look after the streets. We are fur ther informed that arrangements will be made by the council to have the town team haul away all tin cans and rubbish from the alleyes where they are gathered up and placed in some kind of a rec eptacle so that they may be dumped into the wagon as it passes along.
