A GOOD PIECE OF WORK.

Among the first acts of the new
Board OF County Commission ers and
one which will meet witt tho hearty
approval of the great number of
travellers over the State road, north
of Beaver, was their action Saturday
at the special meeting called for
that purpose among other things,
when a contract was let for some
road building at the Arroyo cross
Ing. The contract was awarded to
Johnnie NJ. Jones. Who was the low
est and best bidder, and the work is
TO include excavating, embankment
and hard surfacing, the dangerous
curve at that point to be eliminated
and the roadway cut straight through
from the new bridge which is now
under construction over the AFRO,
across the b. NJ. q Il. railroad right
of-way to a junction with the State
highway.
This is certainly a splendid piece
or work on the part of the new
Board. Perhaps no other State
highway in the county is so much
used and has been so persistently
neglected by the old Board of Com
missioners as has been this road. All
the traffic from the north and. east
portions of the county must pass
over this roadway in order to reach
the county seat and all traffic from
the south and southeast and much of
the southwest portions of the county
must pass over this highway II they
wished to go to Forgan, Knowles,
Gate or other parts of the north,
northwest and northeast portions of
the county. The action of the new
Board in so promptly taking care of
the much needed repairs will meet
with hearty approval. This is just
one more example of the efficient
and businesslike administration
which The Herald prophesied the
new Board would give us. Let the
good work go on.

ARMY FOOD PRICES

Bargain day reductions have been
made in the prices of army food
stuffs. which Postmaster Miller Is au-
thorized to receive orders for and
which orders became effective Mon
day, August 18th. The reductions
are considerable less than the first
prices quoted by the government.
. This reduction was made possible by
the ruling that only postage for the
hrst zone be collected whereas be-
fore the prices were made prohibitive
to those living in remote sections for
tthe reason that postage rates con-
sumed the reductions.
The new prices are as follows. and

Declare Ford Company Sent Messenger to Inform Men in Guard That Old
 Jobs Were Open
By Associated Press

Mt. Clemens, Mich, May 27.-Thir- teen former soldiers took the witness stand to testify for Henry Ford in his $1.o0o,o0o libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune in Judge Fuckers court today

The editorial stated that Ford would not pay his employees who went with the national guard to the Mexican border, would not care for their dependents nor keep their posi- tions open for them until they re- turned
 The plaintiff admits that he did not pay the salaries Of his men while ab- sent, but denies that he deserted their dependents and asserts that the posi- tions of the guardsmen were held open just as positions were held for any other employees who left the factory for causes beyond their control.
 Those who testified today all had been in MT. Ford's employ when the national guard was mobilized in 1916; all joined the colors and all testified that they were reinstated in their old positions without discrimination when they returned
 According to Walter P. Jonson, one of the witnesses, Mir. Ford sent an employe to look up the employees of the Ford company nthe guard to in- form them that the report that their Jobs would not ~be held for them was

 After calling in help from the neigh bors, the friend of Memphis had sue ceeded in getting his friend on surface again.
