MEMBERS OF AUTO CLUB
BEFORE GO. COMMISSIONERS

A committee composed OF c. +.
Rugh and j. T. Nicolay from the
Abilene Automobile club, was before
the county commissioners this morn
ing seeking information in regard
to the spending of the auto license
money by the commissioners. This
money before has been thrown into
the county road fund and spent on
county roads in that way but from
now on separate fund will be
maintained of this automobile IL
cense money and the motor car own
ers in the future will know where
this money is spent and how 1t Is
spent.
The ounty engineer problem was
thoroughly gone over by the COM
missioners and the county attorney
this morning and 1t was decided as
to how the engineer and commits
sioners would work in the future.
All county road bills must be passed
by the county attorney before they
can be allowed by the commission
ers. Hereafter these bills will be
passed on by the county engineer
before they are granted by the at
torney, which will virtually put the
county roads in charge of the engi-
1eer.
A resolution drawn up and sign
ed by 25 prominent business men OF
Herington, who are members OF the
Lexington automobile club, was al
10 read by the commissioners. This
'esolution had for its purpose the
iame thing as the Abilene club had
n their investigation. l.

WESTERN KANSAS HAS
BEST YEAR IN HISTORY

Burt E. Brown of Lawrence, well
known as one of the most popular
Democratic politicians of the state
and representative of the Simmons
Hardware Co., was in the city this
morning. Il have just been out
through western Kansas" said he,
"and the prosperity there is re-
markable. The farms have wheat,
corn, alfalfa and hay until the
owners do not know how much they
have. Thousands of tons of hay
will not be cut and the corn which
was merely guess at the beginning
is turning out the best in years.
Motor cars are selling by the dozen
in little towns. One merchant sold
five while / was waiting to get his
order. The merchants are buying
freely and are looking for a good
autumn business. Western Kansas
has never seen year when every
thing came its way so we'll as this
season."

OLD TRAILS ROAD HAS
FINE SYSTEM OF MARKING

The work OF marking the Old
Trails road from Los Angeles, Cal.'
to Kansas City, including the Santa
Fe Trail from Santa Fe, N. M, was
completed yesterday by Douglas c.
Mitchell, superintendent Of con-
struction for the route and map de-
partment of the Automobile club OF
Southern California. The iron sign
posts used cost $4,000.
The National Old Trails Road as
sociation undertook the marking OF
a highway across the continent. The
sign posts are paid for by each
county through which the highway
passes. Dickinson paid for s poles
about $50.
The marker used is set on a two.
inch gas pipe post twelve feet tall
A diamond-shaped board at the tor
bears the National Old Trails en-
blem. A rectangular board twenty
four by eighteen inches in size has
red, white and a blue stripe al
the top. Printed on the white stripe
is National Old Trails Road" Be
low are the names Of four cities
the two nearest in each direction
and their distances. There Is one
post to each mile and those used IL
Kansas alone aggregate fourteen
and one-half tons in weight.
The trail passes through Council
Grove, Herington, Mcpherson and
Great Bend, Kan; LaJunta anC
Pueblo, COL; Las Vegas and SAINTS
Fe, N. NJ, to Los Angeles, Cal. A
branch runs north to Big Springs
Neb. 1t will be marked to St
Louis.
Mr.. Mitchell and his three men
travelled most Of the way in a seven
and half-ton truck, carrying
berths, and a kitchen. Soft roads
compelled them to leave 1t at Trim
idad, Col, and complete the trip in
a touring car.

Are You Looking Old?

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it. Some look old
at forty. That is because they ne
glect the liver and bowels. Keep
your bowels regular and your liver
healthy and you will not only feel

troubled with constipation or bill
iousness take Chamberlain Tab

for these ailments and are excel
lent. Easy to take and most agree

COUNTY LIABLE FOR MUD
HOLES AND DANGER PLACES

Motorists who have been breakini
springs. wrenching cars and sus
tanning injuries 10 themselves In
driving on Dickinson county high
ways may recover damages from the
county.
Several prominent attorneys, when
asked about 1t today. ventured the
opinion that the county is liable for
damages sustained by leaving un-
safe conditions on the highways un-
marked.
IF there is a mudhole on q coun-
ty highway that is notoriously bad,
that is allowed to remain, and in
which cars are liable to become
stuck. II is certainly the duty OF the
county to mark that hole to warn
travellers" sad an attorney.
IF che hole is not marked by day
and warning lantern kept as
signal at night. and motorist or
else should drive in and
become stuck and have an accident.
the county would certainly be la
BILE for damages for neglect.
THAT has been tested time and
again in the matter of defective
streets and walks inside the city,
and the same rule would apply to
he county highways"
A case of this kind has already |
been brought in Ford county. A
'armer in that county had his car
damaged and himself injured in
nudhole that was allowed to stand
IN a highway. He has filed claim
Igainst the county for several thou
and dollars and has good chance
# recovering, attorneys say.

MOTOR NOTES

A very novel and useful device
but still very simple is the one
which protects the automobile driv-
er from the glaring lights OF a mo-
tor car which Is approaching him.
II consists OF a green tinted piece
OF transparent celluloid about four
by six inches. which is placed on
the windshield with adjustable fas-
teners. This facilitates the placing
OF this non-bllnder any place on
the glass which will shield the driv-
er's eyes. The lights OF the oncom-
ing car can be easily seen but the
binding effect from the glare is
not present. Several Abilene motor
lists use them and say they are just
the thing. r. b. Gemmill is the in
ventor and has applied for a patent
on the device.
Here Is how a certain Mr.. Jones
practices economy. II is rather a
very good example of the present
day buying ability OF the public in
general. Brown bought a car for
for 5000. completely equipped. and
Jones held up his hands In holy
horror at such a holocaust OF per-
fectly good money. SO Jones bought
a $3.50 car, put on SIS starter, a
IS tire carrier, a new-fangled ra-
diator and hood for $50. diversified
tires for $12, put on an So bumper,
spent SIS on crown tenders, and
had a tire-pump built in for $25.
Pay 5000 for a car? Huh! He
should say not!
Automobiles are becoming so nu-
merous that when parties owning
cars go out for an evenings plea
sure ride they say that the ride is
really marred by the glaring lights
and the constant passing of other
ears. It resolves itself into a con-
.inual bump, bump, when other
,ars are passed one right after an I
