WASH-OUTS ON
SEVERAL ROADS
Little Hope That Monmouth
Dirt Roads Will be Re-
paired by Saturday
(By Evening News Correspondent

MATAWAN, July 21.-For a
period of five hours Tuesday night
Matawan was treated to a continu-
Gus electric display and a constant
pealing of thunder, accompanied by
a downpour of rain that flooded the
creeks and streets and did consid-
cradle damage to gardens and lawns
throughout this section. Without
doubt it was one of the worst storms
that has ever visited this vicinity.
The storm broke about 1880 o'clock
and did not let up until 1880. when
the lightning and thunder passed Off
to the east of the borough.
Throughout the storm there were
many sharp flashes of lightning n
heavy peals of thunder, but up to
noon yesterday the police of the
borough had not been informed of
any damage that had been done.
Autoists who were caught out In h
storm were forced to continue their
journey to the borough in a blinding
downpour of rain. Only one serious
accident was reported. This hap
pened to Francis Simpson, who was
on his way home from a shore
resort. He was painfully injured
when his car left the road and went
down an embankment near Holm
del. He was removed to a nearby
farm house, where he was put to
bed. He is under the care of a
physician.
The only other accident reported
was the running down of the traffic
sign at the junction of Main street
and Ravine drive by an automobile.
Both the car and the sign were
badly damaged.
Roads throughout this section OF
the country are in a bad condition.
due to many washouts. and although
road committees have already
started work to repair them. there
seems to be little hopes that they
can be placed in condition for the
heavy traffic over the Weekend.

Speaking of too many laws,
we believe that the people
should vote for man to represent
them who could make the hest
record of worthless laws he has
help to wipe off the statutes, the
most old, obsolete laws and who
has done the most toward simpli-
flying the laws that are now in op-
ertion. Ignorance of the law ex-
euses no one, but even the law
yers and the highest courts can't
agree on what the law actually is.
The whole couutry is in the hands
of the lawyers unless the people
break out now and then and as
sert their rights. Right laws are
the best things for civilization,
but the very ponderous bulk of
the stuff called law will eventual
ly break down Of its own weight.
The people are bound to come to
the conclusion that might is
right" when they are forever
tangled in the mesh of laws
wherein justice does not seem to
play the major part, according
to their theory of the game.

To Elect Chau-

A meeting of the Board Of
Trustees of the Ellison-White

citation viii be held October 10th
of this year, at the offices of the
Association at Portland, Oregon.
This is the first general meet
ing which has been held by the
board since the Ellison White Bu-
reau placed their business on Il
strictly non-proft basis, which
went into effect February Ia,
1921, when articles of incorpora-
zion were filed at Salem, Oregon.
Among other matters which
will be taken up at this meeting,
perhaps that of most interest to
the public at large will be the
nomination of candidates to run
for the office of trustee of the
board. The Ellison White Offices
at Portland are daily receiving
letters from residents of the dis
tricts interested. proposing names
for the consideration of the board
at their October Goth meeting,
and it is the desire of the asso-
citation that anyone having a
name to submit may feel free to
do 50. The two trustees to be
elected during the coming year
are those representing Districts
No, / and No. 2. comprising the
states of Louisiana, Texas, Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Califor-
MIA. Three candidates will be
nominated and placed upon the
ballot from each district and
every Chautauqua, Lyceum and

the territory named will be given
an opportunity to cast their vote
for their favorite candidate.

half of the loan applications come

which to conclude the applica-

WILL DISTRIBUTE SEED LOANS
Only Farmers Who Suffered Failures
Last Year Are Eligible

Actual distribution of seed loans to
drouth-stricken farmers in North Da-
kota and Montana is expected to be
begun within few days, according
to c. w. Warburton of Washington,
who arrived in Fargo Monday and has
opened Offices in the Equity building
to superintend the distribution of the
s., 600, 900 government fund in the
two states.
It is estimated that approximately
10000 farmers will be given loans,
the limit of which has been placed at
5000, direct from the federal depart
ment of agriculture. After these
loans have been made and approved,
treasury checks will be issued from
the Fargo Office to the farmers so
that there will be no delay in the dis
tribution of the money for seed.
Application blanks and other neces-
sary literature are expected to arrive
from Washington shortly and the
work of sending out applications will
be started at once. Only farmers who
suffered crop failure in 1920 are ell
igible for the government seed loans.
Their applications must be approved
by the county agent or the auditor in
the applicants county and then sent
to Fargo headquarters, along with a
promissory note to cover the loan and
a chattel mortgage on this years crop
Farmers receiving the loans will be
obliged to use the money for the pur.
chase of wheat, oats, barley and flax
seed.
1t is estimated that about $780,.
900 Of this money will be loaned tc
North Dakota farmers, many of whom
would have been unable to put in 6
crop this year without aid.

"N1R. BOB" GOES TO FULLERTON
Literary Society Play is Greeted by
Crowded House

The actors and actresses Of the cast
Of "Mr. Bob," the play which the high
school literary society put on in Cakes
the preceding week, journeyed over
to Fullerton last Saturday and pre-
sented the performance for the citi-
zens of that community A packed
house greeted them, and apparently
enjoyed the evenings program great
ly. Fresh from their three success
full appearances in Cakes, the men,
bers Of the cast took their parts free
ly and naturally and upheld the stand
ard they set here.
The expense making it impossible
to take the girls glee club along to
warble between acts, Miss Even sang
several solos, and Frances Freeman
gave one of the pianologues for which
she is more or less famous in local
literary society circles.
Mrs. Dickinson, principal Of the Full
lerton schools, had charge Of the 10
cal arrangements. Not only were the
various stage properties provided by
her, but all the girls in the company
were entertained at her home for sup
per, while the boys were also invited
out to various places. If it were left
to a vote of the "Mr. Bob" company,
the most popular woman in North
Dakota today is this same Mrs. Dick
inson. Members Of the troupe have q
great deal to say about the brand Of
hospitality displayed by other citizens
of our neighboring little city as well.
One thing is certain, the expedition
resulted in creating warm spot in
the hearts Of the members Of the
company for Fullerton, and they have
not been at all bashful about making
it known since their return.

Teachers to Discuss Problems

Teachers to Discuss Problems
Most Of the superintendent of the
city schools for SO miles or more from
Oakes are to be here at an informal
meeting called by Supt. Gould Friday
evening. The educators will dine as
guests Of our superintendent, and will
spend the evening discussing the
problems that confront them in their
school work, most particularly along
the lines Of teachers salaries. In the
past few years salary schedules have
been discarded, and teachers have been
paid as little or as much as was neces-
sary to fill the vacancies. With the
return to more nearly normal condi-
tions, it becomes necessary to smooth
out some Of the glaring inequalities
and injustices that have resulted from
the unsettled conditions Of the past
few years. On the theory that a dozen
heads are better than one, the SUPER
intendents in this section are to get
together and try to work out fair
solution Of the knotty problem.
