GOOD ROADS MEETING FRIDAY

A good roads meeting was held
in this city Friday Afternoon in
the Commercial Club Rooms which
was largely attended by delegates
from all over the county. A. G.
Divet was made chairman of this
meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was
to set before the board of County
Commissioners that the people in
general in this county was more
or less united in matter of good
roads and that they wished that
instead of parceling the road fund
out in small lots to a number of
places in the county. that they
spend the entire amount upon
few roads each year and put
them into first class shape, thus
solving within a few years the
problems of our roads.
1t was SET forth at this meeting
that if sufficient amount of mo-
ney. was spent in developing a
road. that road in future years
could he kept in good shape at
very little expense to the county
and then some other road in the
county done likewise.
Three roads were picked out
for this year and they are the Me-
ridian road from the southern
boundary of Richland County to
the northern boundary; the road
from this city to Wyndmere and
the road from FairmOunt to Han
kinson and LidgerwoOd.

business men. This is the first
time that our city has been put up
to a gas preposition, but these
men state that should Brecken-
ridge give them the franchise and
WahpetOn the same, then it will
pay.
They propose in their applica-
ton for a franchise to put i'm a
$4,000 plant and to commence
the laying of pipes within q
months after the passage of the
franchise and to have it complet-
ed within f8 months.
They propose to furnish good
grade of gas, Of at least $50 b.
L. US per cubic foot, suitable for
illuminating. heating. cooking,
power and mechanical purposes.
The rates proposed to be in pro-
portion to- those of other cities

ceed $40 per thousand cubic

want; have it weighed; see that you
get your weight and that the butch
er's calculation as to how much meat
you have, at a certain price per

lost to the customer by neglecting
the above simple precautions.
In marketing the pennies count up
very fast.
Don't allow your dealer to weigh
in the wooden butter dish in weighing
your butter unless he deducts the
weight
Don't buy in small quantities if
you can possibly avoid it. Make ev-
cry effort to get together two or
three dollars. This will enable you
to:
Buy for cash.
Buy in larger quantities.
Buy where you can do the best.
In this way you can save two or
three dollars in a very short time.
Under the laws and regulations of
the city you have definite rights in
the matter of getting full measure
and full weight for everything you
buy, and the City's Bureau of
Weights and Measures stands ready
to help you get your rights. This is
a protection that is due the honest
dealer as well as yourself.
Cheapness does not always mean
quality or full weight Be sure you
get quality and quantity.

four members OF the Tenth cavalry
were with c aud X troops at Carri-
sal. Eleven have returned to Cen
eral pershing's headquarters. Six

cavalry.
This, said Secretary Baker this at

Boyd's command. and reached Perish
ing's headquarters today. reported
that seven or eight men OF Troop c
escaped from the fight and attempted
TO return TO Pershing's headquarters
by another route,

abandoned hope for all of these In
the Carrizal ambuscade except the
seven stragglers of the 10th who
have so far arrived at General Per-
shing's headquarters. Not an Of
ficer or non-com in that detach-
ment, which numbered not more than
100 men and was probably less than
that, has been reported so far.
The seven known survivors are all
privates and are negroes, mainly
those who were assigned by Captain
Boyd, commanding the two squad
rons, to take the horses to the rear
when the men dismounted at the
first sign OF attack by the Mexicans.
When they saw their comrades sur
rounded on three sides. raked on one
flank by machine gun fire, and charg-
ed or the other by cavalry, they re-
allied the hopelessness OF the fight
and made their way back to the Am
erican lines. They were united in
condemning the treachery of the Car
ranzistas forces at Carrizal None
saw the termination OF the UNEQUAL
fight, but they did say the ambushed
negro troops fought gamely and with
telling effect against the horde Of
their enemies.

anxious to learn the Carranza gov
ernment's plans for the disposition OF
the II prisoners captured at Carrizal,
and now held, II is reported, at Chi
huahua City. Since no state OF

and Mexico. II was pointed out here
that the de facto government has no
legal right to hold these men as

ing the one employed by Carranza
officials in declaring their capture.
