exact. The department. however. will
be able to detect any excessively mac
curate reports. for the road mileage per
square mile of territory does not vary
excessively. Except in desert or un-
developed country. less than half mile
of public road to every square mile of
territory is rare. while in the most
thickly populated rural sections the
maximum is no more than two and a
half or three miles Thus in France.
there is an average for the entire coun-
try of 1.76 to a square mile. In Italy.
however. this has fallen to Sc. probably
on account of the mountainous charac-
ter of much of the peninsula and of
Sicily and Sardinia.
In America the average is approxi-
mately eighty miles, which. in view of
the fact that much of the country is
sparsely settled. seems unduly high. An
explanation, however, is to be found
in the fact that in many states the law
provides that each section line shall be
public road. Thus, for example.
there are in the state of Iowa alone
more than l04.no miles of legal high
ways. manifestly a much larger mile
age than is required by traffic.
When the information in regard to
the existing roads that the department
is now seeking is complete. it is the in
tention to continue the inquiry year
after year in order to ascertain the dur
ability and economy of the various
kinds of highways. The data thus col
lected should be useful to road engi-
neers all over the country.

Has 68 Motors in Fire Department.

Chicagos fire department at present
is about % per cent motorized. 1t has
sixty-eight motors and 259 horse drawn
vehicles. Due to the lack Of funds 1t is
not probable that any material increase
in motor fire apparatus will be made
this year. AS much preparation as Is
possible under present conditions is
being made by the department for the
complete motorization of the equip
ment. New firehouses that are being
built are designed without provision
for horses. and those that have to
house horses are SO arranged that the
stalls can be tipped out easily.
The fire motors that are already in
use in the city have proved their value
time and again. An accurate estimate
of the amount of money they have
saved the city in expense of operation
has not been made, but it is stated
that probably 100000 would cover it.

which, when complete. should not only

Clogged Muf1er Hinders Action.

1t frequently happens that a car
runs finely for a time and then the
motorist suddenly awakens to the fact
that its action is becoming less and
less lively. and upon looking back. in
the light of this illuminating realiza- :
tion, sees this failure has been coming
on for long while. but SO slowly as
to have missed attention till now. With
such symptoms as these it should be
noted whether the exhaust is smoky
and smelly and remembered whether
or not it Is habitually so. If it is the
most likely place to apply a remedy
is in the muffler, the small holes of
which are clogged and may be almost
entirely closed. Exhaust back pressure
works this way.

P|CCER LET GO

The people of this county may we'll
wonder what the end will he If
something isn't done to get the
states attorney and the sheriff of
this county removed from office.
Tuesday the most wonderful per-
formance in the history of the coun-
ty was pulled off. Sheriff Kyes
went TO the Kundert blind-pig in
response to the demand Of Herman
Thoreson and confiscated a large
quantity of beer-and let the man
himself 60.
After this last brazen refusal to
enforce the prohibition law there
can be no doubt that the states at
torney and the sheriff will not pros
ecute any of the professional blind
piggers of this county. Now the
question that naturally enters the
mind of every person is Why"
Can it be that some one is afraid to
make arrests? Is there deep. all
sufficient, definite reason why the
proper authorities.absolutely will do
nothing; why they dare not make all
arrest? In the face of the late de-
velopments it most certainly seems
so.
The states attorney has had def
mite, repeated direct information
that Kundert had been selling in.
toaicating liquors for months and
months and months. By his own
statements he has acknowledged
that he knew it. too.
H. A. Thoreson states that he
went to the states attorney Tuesday
forenoon and demanded Kundert's
arrest Not getting any satisfac-
tion from that gentleman he tried
the sheriff. Mr.. Kyes got busy to
the extent Of entering Kundert's
place and taking a bunch of his
liquor away. But Kundert remained
unharmed.

A BIG week

Emmons county's chau,auqua
proved to be even better than ex.
pected both as to entertainment and
as a drawing card.
Ii is no small undertaking for the
people of q small community to en-
gage list Of entertainments such
as are being seen in Linton this

for the system that has been worked
out and called "chautsuqua," it
would be simply impossible. As it
is. some twenty Linton business
men were required to guarantee
forty dollars each TO secure the
attractions furnished. The people
of the county have responded liber-
ally. however. and a fine bunch Of
season tickets were sold. In addi-
tion. many people living too far
!; from here to attend regularly are
arranging to be here part of the
time.
The Vawter people are to be com.
plimented on the clean. high class
entertainment provided. As a
means of entertainment and instruc-
tion. the Chautauqua is all that
could he desired. 1t must be re-
membered that many Of the leading
people of the nation are lecturing
summers on platforms. For the
brainy men who are industriously
striving to disseminate knowledge
and good cheer among their fellow
men, the chautauqua platform pro-
vides an excellent medium. as we'll
as source Of revenue at one and
the same time.
For the Record the week has been
most demoralizing. There is just
so much work to be done between
each issue of the newspaper and it
is SO arranged that ordinary condi-
tions provide just enough time for
its performance. With the excite
ment and loss of time incident to
the Chautauqua. the work naturally
must suffer. But-Chautauqua
comes but once q year. 1t will no
doubt come that often in view of
the fine manner in which the people

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Notes From the County superirtend-
ent OF Schools.

Next week the Chautauqua will
be held in Linton and we hope to see
a great many children here to take
advantage Of the forenoon session
when Miss Stella Bardwell. play su-
pervisor, will entertain the boys and
girls between the ages of and ID,
teaching them new games and tell.
ing them stories.
In the larger cities. the school
boards hire teachers who go
about from school building to
school building, teaching the chill
dren games and folk dances and
telling them stories. Old world
educators think we Americans are
so busy chasing dollars that we
never relax and play or celebrate
a holiday. Now, we do generally
stop and play little on Christmas
and the Fourth of July but we want
the next generation to be better
playfellows than we are, and 80 we
are going to teach our children
what to play and how to play it.
Come here to the Chautauqua and
meet all the other children and get
acquainted and play games together
and next year you will have sides
chosen up and be ready to have q
sort of field meet and the childrens
m orning session will continue to be
one of the features of the day. A
ticket for the five days costs only
$l.00 for children. and this ticket
admits you to all the other 10 pro-
grams also.
