ROAD To LAKE
WANT BETTER SOUTH ROAD
COMMITTEES AT WORK ON
JOINT WORK.

An effort is being made to organize
forces to improve and make perma-
nent the road two miles east of the
Meridian road across the swampy
place north of the Sid Lee farm. II
is said that residents of the south
wishing to come to the lake or to
Madison must make a wide detour.
and have expressed forcibly a desire
that a better road be made.
The matter was talked over infor-
mally last night at a meeting of the
directors for the Merchants ~associa-
ton. and it was decided that steps
would be taken TO make the road
both good and permanent. An eff
fort will be made 10 get the roads
committees of the association and Of
the Commercial club together on
some plan for the accomplishment Of
the purpose.
William Rowland stated this morn
ing that of the automobile license
money collected from Madison and
available for the township, there is q
sum Of $500. If cooperation of the
townships of Lake View and Franklin
can be secured in a satisfactory man
ner, the road will be placed in first
class condition.

TO RAISE CAVALRY
RAISE HORSE TROOPS HERE
HUNDRED MEN NEEDED
ANOTHER FOR NAVY.

A troop of cavalry. consisting of
100 men. is what Madison purposes
TO furnish the country as a unit for
defense. Men have gone from here
TO the navy, a service which is wholly
strange to them, and il is thought
that II would be much easier 10 raise
a cavalry troop than many for that
branch.
j. w. Wethe conferred with Col.
Wales, of Howard, this morning. and
was advised what TO do 70 get such
an organization started. Steps We're
at once taken, with the result that a
petition was written to Adjt. Gen.
Morris, of Redfield. offering a com
pany enlisted as national guardsmen
TO the service. Two names were Sc
cured in a few minutes after the pc
titiCn was exposed in a public place.
1t Is the purpose of the company to
get the men together and enlist them
as a unit, thereby keeping the boys
of the county together. Only the
preliminary steps have thus far been
taken. but when organization and CO.
operation is necessary the matter will
go with a swing.
Some have signed now, but a great
many names are expected to be APP
pended to the list i'm another day.
Oscar Thompson, II years old,
made application for enlistment in
the navy today. He expects to enter
as hospital apprentice, and will ac-
company the rest of the men who go
to Omaha Monday.

ARGUMENT

poor Joe is obliged to sail without seeing his
sweetheart Nance.
Julia tells Nance of Joe's love for her and
Nance is heArtbroken. The Barnstapoole
girls, having quarreled with the Sailors pre-
tend Indifference at their departure.
Act II. Takes place one year hence The
townfolks are waiting on the quay for the re-
turn of the Bounding Billow." The Barn
stapoole girls meeting party of artists down
from town for the day, take malicious
pleasure in going to welcome back the
Bounding Billow" accompanied by the ar
fists. The sailors who during their long alb
sence from home had quite recovered from
their love for Julia, are much chagrined to
find that the Barnstapoole girls are ap-
parently quite Indifferent to their return.
Even Julia will not speak to them.
Bill Salt has the unpleasant duty of ex-
planning his mistake to Julia and offering
himself in Joe's place. Julia at first spurns
him Indignantly, but afterward accepts him.
The happy return of Barnabas Lee releases
Bill Salt from the moose he had cast about
his own neck. Joe soon finds Nance and ex-
plains the situation to her. The artists re-
turn to town and the sailors and girls become
reconcied. The scene ends with the promise
of many happy weddings in the near future.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1917-05-03

Act l. Julia, the naughty belle of Barnsta-
poole, is as proud as she is beautiful. All the
sailor lads are hopelessly in love with her, but
she scorns them all. On the eve of the de-
parture of the Bounding Billow" for years
voyage Barnabas Lee, a wandering artist,
comes to town and falls in love with Julia,
who returns his affection The sailor lads,
driven to despair by their rivals success, plan
to kidnap Barnabas, stow him aboard the
Bounding Billow" and carry him to sea.
They are successful in their scheme and the
townfolk returning from seeing the ship sail,
announce to Julia that Barnabas was on
board her.
In the meantime Nance-a gentle damsel
is loved by Joe Stout. Joe is as bashful as
he is honest, and fearing repulse he induces
Bill Salt to propose to Nance in his name.
Bill promises to perform the task, but unfor-
tunately he meets Julia first, and, thinking
her the object of Joe's affections delivers the
bashful suitor's message to her.
Julia is great believer in the old saying,
Zone in hand is better far than two that in
the bushes are She tells Bill to bid his
friend try his luck year hence. Bill, de-
lighted at his supposed success, seeks Joe
and informs him of the result, only to learn
of the sad mistake he has made. The whis-
tie sounds from the ship "All Aboard" and
