City to Build
Ditch Conduit

At the regular meeting OF the coun-
ty council Monday night, at which all
members were present, except Alder
man J. NJ. Anderson and Lafe Combs.
It was voted to construct concrete
conduit to carry the flow OF water in
the hydraulic ditch across Third street
between Macon and Greenwood ave-
uues, dring the month Of March This
action was taken on the recommenda-
tion of Street Commissioner Tom
Parker, who furnished estimates OF
the cost of the undertaking. The
conduit will be one hundred and fif-
teen feet long and Mr.. Parker COM
putes that the work can be. done for
approximately eight hundred dollars.
Eight or nine of such condutts have
been built by the city; during the last
few years at an outlay OF several
thousand dollars The work will be
done under the direction and supervis.
ion of the street department
The special committee appointed by
the council some time ago to purchase
a municipal scale for public use in
Weighing coal and other produce. re-
ported that It had bought a fifteen
ton scale of the latest and most ap-
proved pattern from the firm Of Fair
banks & Morse. for the cum Of eight
hundred and ninety dollars. The re-
port Of the COMMITTEES was accepted
and the council voted TO install II

A motion was adopted Monday night
inetructing the city clerk to notify
the Canon City Gas company and the
various firms engaged In the plumb
ing business of the provisions Of the
ordinance governing the digging up
OF the public streets for the. instalIa-
ton of pipe lines OF any kind and OF
the penalties set forth for any ne
glect of Its requirements.
The members or the ordinance
committee reported that they had in
vestigated the matter of making some
alterations to the ordinance relating
to the riding OF bicycles on the side
walks and had decided that 1t was
inadvisable to recommend any changes
at this time. The report was adopt
ed.
A petition was presented to the
council by residents and property
owners on Vine street asking that a
pipe line from the water main on
Ninth street be laid for q distance
Of two and a half blocks east to the
alley between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets. The petition was referred to
water committee with power to act.
Following the transaction Of some
other business of minor character

 was born and raised in Franklin county, am forty-five years old, and my life stands as an open book ready to be inves- tigated at all times.
 In as much as my opponent, Mr. Crawford. has held the'office for four years, thought it would not be acting'unfair or un- just to him to ask the voters to pass the office around and give 1t to me this time, as the she riff s office, like the other offices of the county. is a free gift bestowed by the voters, and l believe it is fair and right to pass the sev- eral different offices around 'and not keep one set of men in office all the time. l believe there are other men in the county who are just as well qualified to fill the sheritf's office as Mir. Crawford. or myself.
 Now if it is the sense of a majority of the voters to elect me sheriff for the coming term ] will highly appreciate it. and as an honest man l will endeavor to fill the office to the best of my ability. and will try to conduct myself in such manner that l hope that you will never regret that you voted for me. will select the VERY BEST law -abid- ing citizens over the county as deputies to help in performing the duties of the office.
 -l will try to see all the voters of the county in person before election. but if 1 fail to see you l respectfully solicit your vote and help in my race.

The Growth of d Lie

Along in the month of June oi the present year. two ladies in Ozark were in conversation and were discussing the subject of soldiers letters,
 One of them remarked that ..Mac Harley Smilhfs letters came back with ribbons and Hardin Guthrie's s came just as he wrote them and that he was back where there was no danger, under guard to protect him "
 Now it seems that the lady making this remark was uot ar- quainted with either of the sol dlers spoken of, and had no in tention whatever of saving any thing that would injure either of them. but note the result; The conv rsation was repeated by one and another until several persons had told it. and it surely lost noth- ing in the telling; in fact. it was afterward made the vehicle for conveying damnahle lie.
 It's growth. from a perfectly innocent statement to the time when every repetition constitu- ted a islander, seems to have passed through about the follow ing phases; That Hardin Guthrie was of so much import ance that he was constantly guarded to protect him." That

Hardin Guthrie was under
 guard" That Hardin Guthrie was under guard charged with being traitor" That Hardin Guthrie was traitor, and was to be court-martiaIed on August 3rd. And so on through as many versions of treachery ss coul d be invented to add to the. inter- est Of the story, some people tell Ing It without further comment, some adding to the poisonous islander. some telling 1t and then adding. But l don't believe it. :"
 One man to whom the slander was repeated at once. and on his own initiative, took steps to stop the flow of this in. creaslng flow of guile and made an attempt to find the originator of the story. and SD far as 1 know, he is the only one who put himself to any to do so. My thanks are most gratefully eX- tended to him.
 Now. 1t Is very probable that not one of all those who repeat ed this islander had any real in- tention of doing Lieutenant Guthrie an injurt. and many would have claimed, if aske d. that they would be glad to do hlm a favor, yet there was not one of them who did not know when he repeated it that the eff feet of it's being told would in- Jure the reputation of my son a. mong those who did not know him.
 Among those with whom 1 have talked of the matter. and who have been instrumental Tn spreading this re- port. There is not one who has not claimed to me that he was a friend of my son, and the most of them have professed friend ship for me, yet in no way that I can think of could they have placed a greater load on heart already war-burdened and anx- ious.

President Wilson
 Saves Gas

Word comes from Washington that President Wilson will set the pace oi automible church goers Sunday. and walk to worship.
 Thus the President needs the regulations of the Fuel Admins tration. An East St. Lonis author lty estimates that if the Sunday conservation of gasoline is ad. herered to in that city l5. 0OOgal- Ions of gasoline will be saved each Sabbath day This would be a money saving of about $75O. %
 If the gasoline were conserved at this rate through ot the United States. 1t would result in a money saving each Sunday of about million and a quarter of dollars, which, If invested in Liberty Bonds. would never be missed, and would greatly aid in the campaign.
