Answer to Hrish Flats"

1t is somewhat amusing to US
to observe the honor which "Irish
Flats" is heaping upon himself
in regard to road building IN
Odee Twp. He wishes the peo-
pie to understand that the Twp.
Board got busy immediately up
on receipt of the "Meade News"
which contained his article OF
complaint of the roads. The
fact is Bro. '1rish Flats" knew
nearly a week before that we had
planned to repair the roads I'M
mediately after harvest, which
we did, beginning on Saturday
the next day after we finished
harvest. He might as we'll claim
the credit of the County Com
missioners meeting on that same
date Immediately after receiving
the Meade News containing his
article agitating the Cimarron
bridge proposition and that Gov
ernor Capper Immediately upon
receipt of the News issued a
state wide good roads campaign.
Now Bro. this all transpired
Immediately after the publication
of your complaint, So help your
self to the honor. Now we Will
wager two doughnuts with a hole
in each that goes clear through,
that when the dates arrive for
Governor Cappers good roads
campaign, that neither Bro.
Irish" nor personal substitute
will appear to work roads. 1t
isn't hard for some to kick and
complain, but a harder propo-
sition to get road work done es-
pecially during harvest.

two OF the banks--those at Richmond

Bank had heard nothing OF the re-
ported plan to merge districts and
abolish the Richmond institution, and
bankers here secuted the idea that
such a proposition could be under
contemplation by the Federal Re-
