SCHOOL ELECTION
TOMORROW SHOULD
DRAW MANY VOTES

Citizens Of Aledo should not fail
to attend the polls tomorrow and
cast their votes in the annual school
election. Three members are to be
selected for the school board and
the proposition of increasing the
tax levy for educational purposes
is to be decided. Every resident of
Aledo recognizes the difficulty of
meeting expenses in the face of the
high cost of living, and school
teachers are receiving very little
more than they did several years
ago. The increased tax levy is be-
ing asked so that the increase In the
teachers salaries which has to be
met here next year will not put
the school district deeply in debt.
The additional tax which is re-
quested Of the citizens of Aledo
means very little to the individual,
but it means a whole lot to the COM
munity.
The polls for tomorrow's election
will be located in the north side
school building and will be open
from 2 to O'Clock in the afternoon.

GARAGE owner
MADE TO Give
SITS TO HUNT
Cornelius Swart0ut Loses in Fight
to Determine Value Of
Automobile.

After celebrating for an hour
and forty minutes yesterday aft
ernoon, jury in circuit court found
Cornelius Swartout liable for the
payment of SITS and the court
costs to Harold liant for an old
Moon automobile which the latter
had left at the formers garage,
and which was rebuilt into a truck
and sold.
Hunt brought suit against Swart-
out for $3.50 when the garage man
had refused to pay more than $50
for the automobile, after it had
been sold. 1t was claimed Mr..
Swartout had rebuilt the car, with
out the owners permission and had
sold it. 1t was declared by the
plaintiff that he had left the car to
be sold, but not to be rebuilt.
Swartout asserted that he had put
repairs on the machine so that
when it was sold the difference be-
tween the cost of the repairs and
the sale price was only $50, this
amount being offered to the plain
tiff, who refused to accept it.
The case, which was thought 10
be of very little importance in
court circles several days ago. de-
veloped into long examination OF
witnesses. many OF whom were
brought in by the defendant to
show that the car was worth no
more than the sum offered the
plaintiff. before it was rebuilt. The
jury was instructed and went into
session at 3 O'Clock. Some time was
consumed in determining how much
was to be assessed against the de-
PENDANT, after he was found liable
for the payment for the car. After
one hour and forty minutes OF con-
sultation, the jury announced that
it was prepared to render its YER
dict, and the opinion was read to
an almost empty court room. all
spectators and lawyers having left
'long before.
7 Following the reading of the YER
dict, Judge W. T. Church an
nounced to the jury that they were
excused from further service, this
case ending the list for the April
term Of court.

CASE OF COUNTY
CHARGE is BEING
HEARD IN COURT

County Judge Friend l.. Church
was engaged today in an investiga-
ton of the mentality of Mrs. Hulda
Swanson, an inmate of the Mercer
COUNTY farm. According to wit
nesses Mrs. Swanson came 10 Mer-
Ger county several years ago and
was married to John Swanson. a
farmer Of North Henderson. Later
her husband died. leaving her with
four small children. It is thought
that the loss of her husband caus-
ed her so much grief that she be-
came mentally unbalanced. Last
summer she was taken to the coun-
ty home and has been cared for
there since. 1t is said that since
going to the farm she has appeared
melancholy and lately has become
vicious, at one time threatening the
life of the matron at the home.

TO ACT ON CLUBS
FOR THIS COUNTY

Yesterdays action of the Mercer
county board Of supervisors was a
disappointment for many. 1t was
expected that the board would take
action on an appropriation to be
used in furthering the children S
club work. After being addressed
by the county farm advisor and the
county home advisor, the superyi-
sors forgot the plans and the pro-
gram was not even discussed. 1t
is to be regretted that a leader
for the children's club who could
spend all or part of his time in the
work will not be available. Posi-
bly, the supervisors will bring up
the question at a later meeting
and favorable action may be taken.

Native Of Ohio.
He was born in Carroll county,
Ohio, July 16, 1s45, of Quaker an
cestry. His father, Davis Vail, re-
moved from him to Morristown, N.

and became associated with a

founded the Speedwell Iron works,
near Morristown, where they built
much of the machinery for the first
transatlantic steamship Alfred
Vail. another brother, was one OF
those associated with Samuel Morse
in the invention and promotion of
the telegraph. Theodore Vail was
educated at the old academy at Nor
ristown, and for a time studied
medicine, but becoming interested
in the telegraph, he learned to oper-
ate the key and went west in 1868
as an operator for the Union Paci-
fic railroad at Pine Bluffs, Wyo.
Pine Bluffs was at that time the
principal supply point for wood for
the Union Pacific, which had not
yet been completed. Through the
! friendship of General Grenville M
Dodge, chief engineer of the Union
Pacific, Vail, in the next year, was
appointed a clerk in the railway
mail service, and here his ability to
systematic and organize was soon
felt At that time the railway mail
service was in an undeveloped stage
and Vail prepared special studies
! on the question Of distribution and
dispatching of the mail, which
brought him quick recognition from
the authorities at Washington.
1t was just after he had been
promoted to the general superin-
tendency of the railway mail service
that he acted against the advice
! of his friends, and accepted the
position of general manager of the
