iels today when the boards subcom-
mittee dealing with this subject will

board, whose statements in New York
Saturday indicated a belief that the
problem was nearing solution, will
accompany the subcommittee whose
members are Lawrence Addicks,
Thomas Robbins, Elmer A. Sperry
and Benjamin B. Thayer.
No definite announcement is ex
pected to follow the meeting. The
secretary repeatedly has indicated
that even complete solution Of the
problem would have to become known
first through actual operation. Mr..
Saunders statements apparently
were regarded by navy officials as in
dicating only that results had been
obtained which would justify expert
mental work on larger scale.

CONTRACT FOR
II NILES OF
COUNTY ROADS
Commissioners today Award
Job to Treadwell Twich-
ell at $22,795.

The county commissioners today let
the contract for the construction Of
II miles of highway in Cass county
to Treadweil Twichell, on a bid of
$22,79S, an average OF $32i.05 per mile.
The contract calls for the building
of the improved highway from Cassel-
ton to the north county line; the Kin
dred road from the Red Trail, two
miles east of MapIeton, to the south
county line; the highway from Wheat
land south to ChafGee, and the Goose
River road from Wheatland. through
Empire, Erie and Dows townships.
In some places this work will cost
over $1,000 mile while in others the
cost will not be over 500. The aver
age of $S2l.05 is considered very
reasonable by the county board.
Yesterday the board was addressed
by Jay w. Bliss, state engineer, who
explained the system of federal aid in
road building.

Commission Wants $500 Lii
cense-"Too Much" Ad-

It is probable that there will be no
street parade of the Barnum & Bailey
circus when it comes to Fargo July IL,
the city commission, by a vote of three
to two today requiring a license
OF $500 and cash bond Of $500 to in
demnify the city against damage to
streets.
r. L. Lohmar, advance man for the
circus, was in the city again today on
the proposition, and stated that he
thought that $500 license for parade
too much-that the circus was going
to show outside the city limits, and
that the parade feature would be done
away with, free shows being put on
at the show grounds instead.
Although action has been taken as
to the license and bond, there will be

Constipation and Indigestion

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from Indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob-
ert Allison, Mattoon, ILL.,, writes that
when she first moved to Mattoon she
was great sufferer from indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed her
and there was feeling like heavy
weight pressing on her stomach and
chest. She did not rest we'll at night,
and felt worn out a good part of the
time. One bottle of Chamberlain
Tablets corrected this trouble so that
she has since felt like different per-
