FOUND A STOLEN AUTO
Icons City Marshal Discovers ford
Car Which was Stolen at Col
lins, Iowa, Some Time Ago.

A Ford touring car, owned by O..
H. Gearhart, of Collins, Iowa, was To-
Gated in Leon last week by city mar
shall Marion Osborn, and Saturday
Mr.. Gearhart and John Halterman, Of
Collins, came to Leon, identified the
car and it was turned over to them.
Several weeks ago C. M. Axes pur-
chased the car from young man,
who drove it here, the first heard OF
him being north of PleasantOn,
where he made an effort to sell the
car, as it was broken some. Mr.. Axes
heard that the car was for sale and
drove down that way, and finally
bought it, agreeing to pay $3.50 for
the car. He went on to attend a sale,
and arranged for nls sons to pay the
young man the money here at Leon
upon the delivery of the car, never
dreaming that the car had been stol-
en- as the young fellow put up good
talk as to the ownership, and it is
not unusual for car owner who has
met with an accident to sell his car.
The young man said he was on his
way to Princeton, Mo-, where he had
relatives, and after receiving the
money for the car, bought a ticket
for COrydOn where he said he would
take the Rock Island for Princeton.
He did not give his name to anyone
who can remember it, and the
chances of locating him are pretty
slim. City marshal Osborn became
suspicious about the car, and wrote
to the secretary of state giving the
license number and in this way. the
car was located. Mr.. Axes is out
$3.50 and some repairs made on the
car, and will be mighty careful about
buying car from stranger in the
future.

CLEAN ROAD SIDE DITCHEs.
One Item in Preparedness Program
for Good Spring Roads.

Winter weathering may be great
for the farmers fields, but it's hard
on the roads, warns the highway
commission at Ames.
The best way to prevent extreme
weathering of the road is to clean
out the side bitches before freezing
weather sets in and to keep the road
surface in condition so that it will
freeze up in we'll dragged condition.
Cleaning the side bitches will allow
the water to run off and avoid the
possibility of the road freezing in a
saturated condition. Dragging the
road to smooth surface will elimin-
ate possible water pockets and allow
the water to escape in the side
bitches,

warm hearted spirit and with evidence
Of appreciation for human Kindness.

majority. that he will certainly head

In November by one OF the biggest ma
joritles ever given any man IN West
Virginia. In his case 1t appears that
political factional troubles have been
eliminated, that prejudices have been
laid aside. left behind to be forgotten
One Of the best Indications that the
Judge will make astronger candidate
than any other man to head the Re
publican ticket, is that the Democratic
press is boosting the candidacy Of his
opponent, and ofcourse the Demo
crats would have the weaker man
nominated as a choice. Our Demo-
cratic brethren realize that MT. Robin

General Lilly, and for this reason fav-

HUNTINGTON, Feb. 22-Reports
now being received at the headquar-
ters of William F. Hite, candidate for
the Republican nomination for
United States Senate, from points
throughout the state and in every
county, bring cheering news OF pleas
ing progress being made. In the

section Of West Virginia, many OF
the old wheel horses" of the party
are rallying beneath the Cabell coun-
ty candidates banner, while among
the younger element his popularity
and support is being strongly as
sured. This race bids fair to be one
of the, most interesting every witness
ed in West Virginia. Both Of tho
candidates are successful men, men
of high honor and integrity; of equal
Importance to the political party to
which they hold allegiance, and 1t is
evident that in this one instance at
least the state will see clear-cut,
clean and determined contest for
nomination to high Office.
Manager,C. l.. Topping. OF the Hlte
headquarters here. on Saturday had
the following to say concerning the
Hite candidacy:
"Without boasting, ! am agreeably
surprised at the assurance OF strong
support coming in from all over the
state. Mr. Hite's Is not a candidacy
of the sensational order; it was not
expected that he would be accepted
