This spring the streets of the little

draw on TO get the work done. This
busy farmer circulated paper among
the business men of the town, collected
$50 and turned 1t over with the offer
of the free use of his tractor to grade
up and gravel the portions OF highway

and has remained there ever since.
When the railroads go back to pri-
v1te management the public, and no
doubt the agents themselves, will want
something to say about afternoon sta

the agent going off duty at 1870 to p.

no business with the station subsequent

The agent is. of course. unwilling to
remain on duty without pay and his
failure to remain in his office or re-
turn to it after hours doesn't help his
popularity with the patrons of his sta
