MATTERS BEFORE
CO. COMMISSIONERS

the county commissioners were in
session all day yesterday, but most
of the business transacted was rou-
tine.
the following bonds were ap-
proved: Justice of Peace. A. B. Pat
rick; notary public. John W. Keen,
j. b. Pylant. Jr., Roscoe Nunnally
Skipper, Geo. Polk Webb.
II. S. Jaudon Of the Jaudon En-.
cheering company Of Savannah. who
had the contract for the survey of
the roads to be paved by the con-
templated bond issue, was present at
this meeting and stated that he
would report ready by Saturday and
the commissioners will meet at that
time to so over it with him.
This survey takes in the number
of miles, the number of culverts. and
bridges. grading and cost of laying
the sard-asphalt. Whether the cost
of laying any other material than
sand-asphalt will be given is not
known, although that subject was
discussed at the meeting yesterday
1t is probable, however, that this re-
port will consider only the sandals
phalt and later brick and other ma
fariols hn cidnrad oil n1,
that question will probably he set
tied Saturday. The Jaudon company
have had engineers working on this
job for several months and their re-
port is exhaustive and it will prob
slider it. 1t is understood that the
survey included about 240 miles OF
roads in the county instead of 211
as was originally planned
A petition signed by ] W. Sam
pie, Josiah Hawkins and a number
of others was presented asking for
permission to open public road be-

Ernest Amos. state auditor, sub
/ mitted his report at this meeting as
to the findings in connection with
the shortage OF F. NJ. d.anier and if
the governor and comptroller will
allow certain credits which Mr.
Amos thinks are due, Mr.. Lanier his
shortage will amount to only So
67S.37 It is hard to make an intel
| ligible statement as to these credits
without giving the entire report
which consumed eight or ton tyne
written PAGES and they cannot he
done this week. Mr.. Lanier has al
ready turned over more than this
amount Of property to the county
and and IL these credits are allowed
the bondholders will not be held for
any OF this.
Mr. Amos also submitted report
as to the condition of the various
other county officials and this report
| Is very encomiastic and shows the
various officials are keeping their
books in first class condition and
some have inaugurated new systems
in their work which is an improve
ment over the old system Barlow

BORT AGENT
LAUDS FARMER
George w. Franklin Compli-
ments Him On His AS
tuteness in Choosing Car

George W. Franklin, local distrib-
u7or OF the bort, pays the farmer
compliment on his astuteness in
choosing a motor car.
Anyone who has had experience
In selling motor cars 10 the farmer
knows that he takes very little for
granted" said MIR. Franklin. MO
torwise from having operated much
OF his farm machinery by gasoline
motor, he is familiar with the prin-
ciples and operation OF engines. He
has before him all the time just
what a car must be able 10 do. to
be an investment for him, and he
particularly looks for quality and
sturdiness of construction. With
this mental picture in mind. the
farmer is not easily sold.
IF there is hidden quality In your
car the farmer will find It every
time, just az surely as he will ferret
out the lack of It, or any structural
weakness
"A large proportion OF the bort
cars sold by us this season were
purchased by farmers, fact which
We consider significant"

Aldrich Baxter, Who ASpires to
Police Bench, Began Lite as
A Cash Boy in a Detroit Store

Friends of Aldrich Baxter who
has definitely announced his candi
dacy for the Republican nomination
as police court Justice, TO fll the
vacancy caused by the death of Mat
thew s. Carney, regard him as a
man eminently fitted for the Office
TO which he aspires, not only be
cause he has had the legal training
that should be part of the incum.
bent's equipment, but because of
his varied experience in lines OF
work that have helped TO round out
an unusual career for man who
has only reached his fortieth mile
stone.
In his earlier life, Bakers educa-
ton was principally In the school
OF experience and hard knocks. He
did manage TO obtain public school
education, graduating from the
Bishop school when he was about
10 years old.
Studious by inclination and habit,
he wanted TO go higher, but circum
stances interviewed and he went to
work as a cash boy in the estab.
lishment OF Newcomb. Endicott &
Co. Next he became an elevator
boy, in the old Detroit opera house
building. One of his treasured
memories Is OF an occasion when
the late Fanny Davenport smiled
sweetly on him. "a she patted him
on the head and said: will you
take me down in your elevator
little boy"
Right then and there, Baxter de.
clares. he became stage.struck,
though IL was some time before he
was able 10 realize his youthful am
bition. For awhile he was en-
ployed by the Edison Co. and later
he helped to put the ginger in Yer
nor's ginger ale He worked for the
old Detroit Telephone Co, then for
the old board of public works
and then-dramatic pause-he went
upon the stage.

PLASTER BOARD
IN BIG DEMAND
Builders and PAYERS Supply
Co. Have Fine Stock
On Hand

f. K. Dickinson, president OF the
Builders and PAYERS Supply Co.,
Hancock and Seventeenthst, says
that market for plaster board,
substitute for plaster and iath, has
been developed in every summer re-
sort in the state.
IL is in much demand for all
houses. II is sanitary and easy TO
put up by anyone, and costs about
half as much as plastering. II is
particularly useful in finishing attic
rooms. The Builders and PAYERS
Supply Co. carries a full line Of
quarter and threc-eights lengths and
can make prompt delivery.
The company is also carrying a
fine stock OF shale brick, said to be
an excellent substitute for stock
brick.
Prompt deliveries Of sewer pipe
are also promised by the company.
Al present there is a shortage of
this pipe due 10 labor conditions.

For five long years Baxter trod
the boards. experiencing the usual
vicissitudes of the struggling Thes-
plan. He knew the pain of one
night stands. and he experienced
the pleasure of Broadway appear
ances. but he never passed through
the delights OF following unblazed
trails from the closing points OF
stranded organizations.
Returning TO Detroit one season.
he took the marriage cure, and
Broadway knew him no more. For
awhile he handled freight for the
American Express Co. He handled
the freight so well that they per
mitted him to handle money Then
he worked for the Michigan State
Telephone Co. as an inspector.
Meanwhile. Baxter was studying
In the Detroit College Of Law. from
which he graduated In 1911. He
was president OF the oratorical so
ciety OF his class.
On Jan. l, 1918, Allan II. Frazer
appointed Baxter as an assistant
prosecuting attorney. He was re-
tanned by Charles H. Jasnowski
when the latter was elected. re-
signing a few days ago 70 devote
his time 10 the campaign.
Baxter's work in the police courts
has attracted marked attention, and
has won for him the commentator
OF men prominent in legal circles.
His knowledge OF the law, combined
with his knowledge of human ma
ture and its frailties, are assets
that. his friends contend, would
make him an ideal Justice.
Baxter Is an orator OF fine gifts
For the past three years he has
been chosen TO make the Memorial
day addresses in various Michigan
cities. He is prominent in Masonic
and Elk circles. No entertainment
given by those organizations is ever
without the name OF Aid

Telephones And Automobiles
AS Plot Stimulators.

A WITTY French visitor to these
N shores recently remarked In
regard to American plays that
the American playwright loves
TO write dramas around the telephone.
II would be hard, indeed. for a play
Soer to- think of many recent Ameri-
can dramas that have not had the
telephone conspicuously displayed and
used in them.
IT might also he declared that tho
automobile has entered into modern
American drama in most decisive
fashion. The fiashlight Of it's head
lights appeared reflected on the scene
of many a Shubert setting. Characters
enter with goggles and automobile
trappinRs. The sound of the horn Is
heard ever and anon.
