IS BIG SUCCESS
WIN Hold Another Session On Next
Friday NighrEveFybody
Enthusiastic.

More than sixty enthusiastic
boosters for oiled roads represent
ing the communities in and around
Aledo gathered ut the city hall in
Aledo last night in answer to .
call issued by the central road OIL
ing committee OF Mercer county.
Talks by several Of the members
of the committee who so success
fully handled the work last year
were given and it was the senti-
ment Of everyone present that the
work be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
Although nearly every commun-
ity included along the roads radi-
ating from Aledo was represented,
but few of the representatives had
any, definite report to make. In
view of this it was decided to hold
another meeting next Friday night
at the city hall, at which time the
organization will be completed.
During the week meetings will
probably be held in different conf
munities and definite plans per-
fected.
At the meeting next Friday night
appointments of various commit
tees will be made. 1t is the plan
of the organization to have a rep
resentative from each community,
a member Of each committee. Fol-
lowing this plan three men from
each community along the roads
radiating from Aledo will be made
members of the committee, one 10
be appointed to the purchasing
committee, one to the executive
committee and one to the spread
ing committee. In this way each
community will be able to keep in
touch with every detail Of the
work.

tributed very largely to the rela-

ket. The aggressive attitude Of bull
pools in the more speculative is
sues prompted hasty covering Of
contracts. Oils, steels, equipments
and rails were especially promi-
nent at gains Of to ~ points. A
demand for Reading common and

gested early announcement Of the
company's segregation plan.
Strength also was shown by Mexi-
can stocks and bonds. Buying OF
those securities evidently was bas-
ed ON reports that the Mexican
government intends to refund its
foreign debt. The closing was firm.
