Must Provide Guide Signs.

The Wisconsin Guide Sign assoeia-
tioa will invade this country shortly
and make survey OF the several
townships with the object in view of
going before the town boards and re-
questing that Section 1927, known as
the guide board law of 1913, be com
piled with. Under section 1927, passed
by the legislature in 1918, it is manda-
tory upon every township in the state
to provide the main travelled roads
with guide signs where they intersect'
other main travelled roads.
For lack of interest in the matter
few of the townships in the state have
complied with the law, and for that
reason the Wisconsin Guide Sign as
sociation, with representatives in ev-
cry county in the state, are pushing
the campaign for complete cOmpli-
ance with the law in every county.
Headquarters have been established
in Milwaukee, at the Wisconsin hotter
and Bart J Ruddle, who has toured
every county in the state by automo-
bile during the past five years, has
been elected secretary. Mr.. Ruddle is
progressive campaigner and is now
organizing the southern counties.
Where town boards comply with
the law every assistance will be given
by the Guide Sign association. Sur
veys will be furnished free of charge
and information regarding the method
of placing and locating guide signs
and posts will be furnished. The Guide
Sign association will also furnish the
signs for any township at guaran-
teed lower rate than the township can
secure from manufacturers. This will
be accomplised by placing orders for
ten or more townships at the advan-
tage of the minimum rate.
The Wisconsin Guide Sign assOcia-
tion is advocating enameled steel signs
instead of wooden signs, and, high
carbon steel posts, set in concrete, in
stead of wooden posts. 1t is hoped 20
have the main travelled roads of the
state intelligently guide signed before

Present Calendar Year Unique.

The present calendar year is unique
and will Offer number of unusual
features. The movable feast Easter
sunday, will be one of the most inter
esting of these.
Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday
were established by the council of
Nice, A. D., 1926, the former always
to occur forty days in advance of Eas-
ter Sunday, which is fixed by solar
and lunar calculations. Easter shall
occur, according to the Nicene laws,
annually on the !Irst Sunday on or af-
ter the vernal equinox, which is al
ways March u. From this it viii be
seen that the earliest date OH which
Easter may fall is March u and the
latest date is April %. This year Ash
Wednesday will come on March and
Easter Sunday, April %. The next
period in which ASH Wednesday will
come as late as March is the year
2106 A. ID.
The year 1915 began on Saturday
and will end on Sunday, a happening
that seldom occurs and one that gives
to the year 81 Saturdays This would
occur regularly every twenty eight
years except that the cOmpilers of the
Gregorian calendar provided that cen
turies not diyisible evenly by four
shall not be leap years. Hence, when
such century occurs as did 1900,
there is lapse of forty years between
leap years that begin on Saturday and
end On Sunday From this year on the
twenty -eight-year period proceeds ac-
coIding to the established rule.

mangled condition of the body indi-

AS the sacks were not registered II

Two men, suspected of the rob-

RETAIN ROWLAND
AS SOX MANAGER
Announcement Of Retention Of Bush
Lacquer no Surprise-Oamaree
Meets Weeghman.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 21.-Clarence
Rowland is TO be retained as man
ager of the White Sox, according to
an announcement by President
Comiskey
The announcement that Rowland
would manage the south side team
again next year was no surprise to
followers of the game. Fans figured
that he would be given the job again
regardless Of the fact that he hadn't
won a pennant In the two years he
has been out there with Eddie Col
Inns and others. Not many figured
that Rowland was at fault.
There was some doubt of Row
lands retaining the job just when
the season was over, for at that time
Owner Comiskey was terribly disap-
pointed in not winning the pennant-
Since then the south side boss has
had time to think things over and
perhaps has decided that the main
reason he didn't win was because the
Boston Red Sox had better team.
Comiskey offered no comment on
his action appointing Rowland for
another year. He didn't say wheth.
er Kid" Gleason was to be retained
as coach or not. Neither did he say
whether Eddie Collins would continue
to be captain or not Regarding the
latter position, he said something
which might have a meaning, the
words being about as follows:
Il might have gone out on first
base myself last year and maybe We
would have won the pennant. Any
way, know OF one or two instances

Descriptions Sent Out.
AS soon as the robbery was known,

Of the two men to Quincy.

might try to board IT and get TO

was telegraphed to all OF the cities
surrounding. The U. S. inspectors
Office at st. Louis was notified of the
crime. and inspectors were expected
here this morning.
Because the sacks were cct cess.s
tered, it is impossible to tell just
what was taken. The postofiice OIL

duties which she is compelled to per-
