q
Boston. Aug. 2s.-Prominent law
yers from all over the United states,
its territories, and insuiar possessions,

ference Of the commissioners on uni~

place and the vanguard Of the coun-
try's legal experts to have arrived.
Now that the military phase OF the
world war seems TO have ceased, ana
the battles are to be waged IN the
governments. legislatures, courts.
business corporations and In the in
creasingly close drawn inter-relations
Of the people themselves. In all OF
which the counselors and operators
are for the most part lawyers, this
years meeting OF the American Bar
association liz expected to be surround
ed with unusual significance.
Since, in human affairs, the final re-
course rests in the judgment OF the
courts where lawyers move and func-
ton, and since the members OF this
profession are more and more the
authoritative auNlSCIb LAC 6ptAni
and economic experiences OF their fell
lowmen, and because the social and
economic problems of the present
have far exceeded any precedent. what
the foremost speakers say on these
questions at this meeting will receive
thoughtful consideration. AS one at
torney recently said, III we can only
develop a group of statesmen such as

It's early years. the possibilities of the

ing human welfare is beyond present

ert Lynn Bates. of Texas A. Mitchell

Root, OF New York.
The twenty ninth annual conference

day, September 2. will formulate and
recommend measures which in its
opinion are OF such vital Importance
az to call for Incorporation in the
statutes Of most, II not all of the states
Of the. Union. Among the acts to be
considered are the proposed anti-loan
shark bill and a bill to carry into
effect the national prohibition amend :
ment.

The many friends OF John Looney
will be pleased TO learn that John

every man. woman and child In IL.
MIR. Looney Is the superintendent OF
the Zimmerman mine. the large en-
ployer OF labor supporting Gaastra.
John doesn't assume TO tell the In
habitants when to 20 to bed and when
10 get up or anything OF that nature

In the county. lie enjoys watching

Gaastra will hold its first village
election on October Goth when ful'
board OF trustees and other neces-
sary officers will be chosen.
Mr.. Looney was at one time locat-
ed in Crystal Falls where he made a
host of friends by his kind and neigh
borly ways. We went from here TO
the west side where he has advanced
continually in the service until he
was given charge OF the big thinner

bors from Crystal Falls want to call
upon him they will find him at the
mine, and they won't have to send in
their cards or go through any formal
tiles TO get an audience with him for
he's the same modest John that he
was at the Columbia mine, with a
real warm handshake and pleasant
word for everyone. Long may he en-
Joy his popularity.

The patrol system Of keeping NJ

the best system and many counties
are going TO that system every day
In this system patrol man Is set at

works every day along his beat, re-
pairs every infractIon OF the roads
surface as soon as Il makes It's appear
ance
In france. where this system Is
perfected much more than In this
country. the road is repaired from
thu bottom up by digging out the af-
fec,ed Tart and replacing IL with new
material or the old material properly
placed.
However. the patrol system will not
keep up road unless there Is SUI
pervlfion OF the patrols that Is ac-
tive and intelligent. II isn't sufficient
10 the proper up-keep Of road e
place patrol men at work In the spring
and GO away and leave them to their
own Initiative until fall,
The necessity for the supervision Of
patrols is well covered In letter re-
ceived by us recently from one OF the
foremost road men in Michigan. He
says:
ut Is my opinion that there is not
road in the state but what can be
improved, IL careful attention is Civ
en- to detail and maintenance and In
maintenance work, II is all small
things and they seem TO be SO hard
to see by the lay man. ! have dis
covered that by taking the mainten-
ance foreman for ride over the roads

fects. he soon learns TO think as you
do and has about the same mind pic
