The machine is National Chummy
Roadster and was purchased by Berry
several weeks ago. He expects to sell
at least $500 shares, of which nearly
1900 have already been disposed of.
After paying the expenses and the
purchase price of the machine the
owner will turn the surplus money
over to the Red Cross. He believes he
can donate more than $4OO for this
purpose if he sells all shares on the
automobile.

Wednesday has been designated as
Children's day, and arrangements have
been made with the School Board to
declare this day holiday for the

The park is now being prepared for
the Fair. Many merchants of the city

to erect their displays. The entries
for the races during the Fair have all
been booked, and it is said that some

SPECIAL MEET OF
COUNTYCOURTON
CHANNEL BRIDGES
Judges Will Visit Allenville
and Delta Friday
Morning.
PETITION FOR NEW.
ROAD is REJECTED
County Court Judges Appoint
New JanitOr for Jackson
Courthouse.

A special session of the County
Court will be held Friday morning for
the purpose Of discussing the propo-
sition of erecting bridges across The
drainage channels of the Little River
Drainage District in Cape Girardcau
County. The judges of the County
Court will assemble at the Courthouse
Friday morning and go to Delta and
Allenville in order to inspect the
channels over which the bridges are
to be constructed
This inspection trip is set for the
purpose of getting an estimate of the
costs of the bridges and to determine
the most feasible way of spanning the
channels with overhead crossings.
Several meetings have been held by
the County Court judges for this rea-
son, but no definite conclusion has
been reached. The fact that the coun-
ty funds are too low to defray the ex-
penses of the construction of the chan
mel bridges, has thrown a problem up
on the judges that is hard to solve.
A committee composed of members
of the Commercial Club of the Cape
attended the last meeting of the Coun-
ty Court in which the matter was dis
cussed, but the question of raising the
funds for the bridges became a more
difficult problem to solve.
Judge William B. Schaefer, men,
Der of this committee, made the sug-
gestion that the money be taken from
the road funds, which are expected to
be increased materially by retiring a
large amount of bonds, the interest of
which have been paid heretofore from
the special road funds.
The special meeting of the County
Court was called yesterday afternoon
by Presiding Judge William Paar fol.
lowing the adjournment of the court
yesterday after disposing of the
routine business before the court. The
regular session was only short one,
and aside from the regular matters the
court takes up every month, only one
question of importance was discussed
The petition presented to the Coun-
ty Court asking for a new road lead
ing from the vicinity of the Robert
School House to the Pennington road
was rejected by the County Court,
Judge Paar said, because of some ir-
regularity in the petition. 1t was not
in the legal manner and,
therefore, could not be accepted by the
County Court.
Burrell Wade, who has been acting
janitor at the Courthouse in Jackson
since John Eulinburg resigned his po-
'ition, was appointed yesterday by the
County Court to succeed him in that
capacity. Eulinburg quit following a
severe criticism by the grand jury of
he sanitary conditions found in the
Courthouse.

1916 Storage Low.
The parties to the conference agreed
that the storage supplies of poultry in
the summer of 1916 were unusually low
because of small original holdings and
large export demands. This resulted
in unusually high prices to producers
during the fall and winter Of 1916. The
supply was unexpectedly heavy and
large stocks were stored at hirh costs.
Then export demands fell OFF, the wave
of economy affected the home demand,
and the storage stocks moved slowly.
The; net result. according to the de-
partment. is that ;nraost everybody
ought to enjoy chicken dinners now al
decidedly reduced prices. and without
feeling that thev~are using up need
ed meat supplies. In short 1t is said
! to depend on the retailers whether
cheaper chickens will be available.

RACE FOR COMMISSIONS,

San Francisco. July 21.---The race for
commissions at the reserve officers
training camp here is nearing the home
stretch. - Something like Il month re-,
mains before the commissions are am
nounced. and that time the student Of
ficers will have to work as they never
worked before.
There are only a certain number Of
commissions. and more than enough
prospective officers to fill them. What
the government will do with the men
who complete the camp course sue
cessfully, aud who will he denied COM
missions because of the scarcity of
these honors. is a matter of deep con-
lecture
They will doubtless have an oppor-
tunity to join the next reserve officers
training camp, and will have a distinct
advantage in training for the officers
camps which will be held when the
draft armies are in their respective
cantonments.
The vernment has announced that
the men with the, highest: ratings will
get the commissions B in this camp
The commissions will be given out
according to these ratings. For in
stance. IL there are 400 commissions
for tho grade of second lieutenant the
400 men in the camp who the officers
think best qualified to fill these posts
would be given the straps. The same
system will obtain in regard to givin.

1t is presumed that the army in en-
campments for the training of officers
after the draft army is mobiliZed will
