similar meeting will be held al
Haines City on Thursday, Nov. IL /.
The people Of Haines City, led by the
Board Of Trade. will entertain the
crowd with barbecue and some
other interesting features and ad-
dresses will be made by prominent
men in the county.
: The agitation and education along
the line of good and better roads is
progressing in fine shape and only
needs little more Of hearty coop
GRAFTON on the part Of the taxpayers
of the county to ensure active work
all over the county at an early date.
The county commissioners have
been assured within the last few
days that parties able to handle a
large bond issue stand ready to do
so just as soon as a bond election
shall be called and carried. These
meetings of the association, which
are held from time to time and in
different parts Of the county, are for
the purpose of enlisting the interest
and creating a countrywide enthusi-
asm looking to an intelligent laying
out of the roads needed in the vari-
GUS districts, and all persons, wheth-
er members of the association or not,
are cordially invited both to hear
others and themselves express their
opinions as to the roads needed and
the best type of construction to use.
This notice of the meeting at
Haines City next week is given now
with a view of enabling those inter-
ested to make their plans to attend
this meeting.
This county loses every year, by
lack Of good roads, hundreds of visi-
tors and thousands Of dollars which
might otherwise come to us, and AZ
1t is shown that a county. wide sys-
tenn Of good roads will cost the tax
payer not one cent more IN taxation
than what he is now paying for the
and maintenance of such
roads as we have, It would seem that
q hearty spirit Of cooperation ought
to be manifested and which Is all
that is now necessary to bring the
matter on to a prompt and satisfac-
tory solution.
The taxpayer who is not doing
to push forward county
wide system Of good roads Is neglect
ing a golden opportunity to benefit
himself individually, to say nothing
Of the general good Of the commun-
ity.

APPOINTS MINE COMMISSION
President Creates Board to Cope with
Troubles in Colorado Coal
Districts

Washington, Nov. 3O.-President
Wilson today announced the appoint
ment of Seth Low of New York,
Charles w. Mills of Philadelphia and
Patrick Gilday of Clarified, Pa, as a
commission through which future diff
ferences between operators and
miners involved in the present Colo
RADIO coal strike may be settled.
The commission, officials explained,
was not appointed to deal with the
existing differences, which have
caused rioting and bloodshed in Colo
RADIO. Hywel Davis and w. B. Farley,
the conciliators who have been at
tempting to settle the strike for sew
era1 months, will continue in their
efforts to have the operators and
miners agree on a settlement of the
present strike.
In a statement announcing the APP
pointment of the commission, the
president expressed "the very earnest
and sincere hope that the parties may
see it not merely to be their own best
interest, but also a duty which they
owe to the communities they serve
and to the nation itself, to make use
of this instrumentality of peace and
render a strike of the kind which has
threatened the order and prosperity
of the great state of Colorado thing

The prisoner agreed to nurse his cap

Both Claim SUCCESS

Official news from Poland continues
to be scanty, and, with both head
quarters claiming success, it is i'm
possible to say how the battle is 60
ing OF its intensity, however, there
can be NO doubt
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a
mass of Russian troops and forced
their way SO far in that the Russians
closed on them. This was taken in
Petrograd to mean that some of the
German divisions had been cut off
and that their surrender or annihila-
ton was inevitable.
The losses, with the desperate
fighting that has been going on for
heavy on both sides.
Germans Escape Trap.
A Berlin dispatch says that a great
story of success for the German troops
has come to light in the fighting near
LODI. The German forces were oper-
ating against the right flank and in
the rear of the Russians when they,
in their turn, were attacked by Rus
SLAMS who pressed them hard, coming
from the east and south.
The German troops turned from the
Russians with whom they were en-
gagged and fought a very bitter three
day fight and broke through the Rus
sian ring. In doing so they brought
with them twelve thousand prisoners
as well as twenty-five guns and lost
only one German gun.
Russians Capture Passes.
The Russian troops after a fight
lasting ten days, captured, November
%, the Austrian positions which pro
tected the passes in the Carpathians,
extending fifty versts (about thirty
three miles) from Koneczna, which is
situated north of Bartfeld as far as
Schuzko, situated south of Mezo La
borez- The Russians in this district
captured cannons, machine guns and
many prisoners.
In the first half of November, they
claim, they captured fifty thousand
Austro-Hungarian soldiers and six
hundred officers. At Plock the Rus
sian forces seized four ships laden
with machine guns and munitions

CANADA FROWNS ON LIQUOR
Out the Menace to the Volunteer
Troops Now in Training.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dec. Pre-
mier Sir Redmond Robin announced
yesterday in a long statement that
the Manitoba government had decided
to take drastic action for curtailing
the liquor traffic during the war
period.
The forthcoming session of the leg
islature will be asked to pass a gov
eminent bill giving municipalities the
right to limit by a majority vote the
number of licenses and a clause will
be inserted, giving the government
special powers to curtail the hours at
which liquor may be sold in times of
public stress. While the government
has not these powers now, it proposes
to invite all retail liquor dealers in
the province as well as social clubs,
to close bars at z o'clock at night
instead of at IL o'clock as at present,
and the wholesalers to close at
O'Clock. AS the government controls
the licenses, it is practically certain
that early closing of the bars will be-
come general throughout the province
