ball game which was played in this
city yesterday afternoon between
the Geneseo Independents and the

disappointment. both to the Geneseo

equipped and suffered the loss of
four men of the regular lineup who
were in an automobile accident on
the way to Geneseo to participate
in this game The players who
were substituted were team follow
ers who had not planned to play.
The final score was. Geneseo IS,

desired.

as a rule injurious to the game
when played with semi-pro teams.

cepted the conditions with good ma
ture and no complaints were heard.

GOOD RESPONSE
MADE BY ALED0
TOPOSTAL CALL
Postmaster DuTaII Asks Residents
of City for Mail ReceptacIes;
Meets Success.

AledO, Oct. 24-AledO is now
almost 100 per cent perfect in re-
gard to having adequate mail re-
ceptacles and having its houses
properly numbered. This is a re-
suit of a campaign started last
Wednesday, instituted upon request
OF the postmaster general, with a
view to increasing the efficiency Of
the postal system.
When the drive started. Postmas-
ter c. f. Duvall stated that Aledo
was then nearly 95 per cent per-
feet in equipment. but this number
has been Increased until only a
few do not have proper mail Iodg-
ment and their houses numbered.
1t is hoped that by the middle Of
this week those who have not met
the requirements will do so. The
city carriers have left a list with
the postmaster of the address OF
every dwelling and place of bust
ness on their routes not so number
ed and equipped These residents
will be requested personally to
meet the issue if they desire the
prompt and safe delivery of their
mail and wish to cooperate with
the government in providing more
efficient and economical mail serv-
ice.
Equipment Accessible.
Postmaster Duvall and his repre-
sentatives have conferred with
hardware merchants and other
dealers having such articles and
this equipment can be obtained at
the various business houses in Ale
do. Tom Stead, superintendent of
Aledo waterworks, announces that
he is ready to place numbers on all
residences without charge. It is
mostly the new houses in the city
erected during the last two years
that are numberless, but there are
a few residences in the community
where the numbers have been lost
Painters have in some instances
removed the numbers from the
porches while painting the resi-
dences, and have failed TO replace
them when through.

THE AMENDMENTS

The last session OF the legislature
provided for submitting two consti-
tutional amendments, both dealing
with the public schools, to be voted
on at the approaching election.
The first amendment proposed is
intended TO take the office of State
Superintendent of Schools out of poll
tics, by making it legislative instead
of a constitutional office. If the
amendment is adopted the state su-
perintendent will probably be elect
ed by state board of education which
will be appointed by the governor.
Governor Morrow has announced that
if the amendment carries he will ap-
point board of nine members, Sc
lected from both political parties
the names of which he has already
announced, which board in turn will
elect the state superintendent. The
theory is advanced that board so
selected would be better able to Sc
lect a governing officer for the
schools, than the voters who lack
both the technical knowledge and
the personal acquaintance with the
small number of men who are quail
fed for such service.
The second amendment would set
aside ten per cent of the States school
fund to be usesd to supplement the
meager funds of tn poorer counties
of the state. The present school law
requires a fixed salary for teachers,
and some of the counties can not |
meet this requirement with the
funds now allotted them, and it is to
cover such deficiency that the reser-
walton of the ten per cent is to be |

Aye, We believe we did say some
thing about the Louisville municipal
election, but we said it after the Her
aid had rushed 10 the footlights and
fired off it's boss pistol in defence OF
candidate Harris. whom two officers
of the law stated they had found
where it was mighty embarracs-
ing for a candidate for mayor to be.
The Herald knew nomOre of the
truth or the falsity Of the charge than
we knew, and we knew nothing, but,
assuming that a Democratic candi-
date can do no wrong, entered into a
furious defense.

The Hartford Herald solemnly as
sures us the Republicans of Louis
vile endorsed two Democratic candi-
dates for Judge of the circuit court
because, Notwithstanding a Republi-
can majority of 10000 in Jefferson
county last var, the Republicans could
not defeat them on account of their
official records. We are glad to have
our neighbor recognize the difficulty
of defeating circuit Judge because
of his record. Judge Slack has an
unassailed and an snasailable record
in this district and, according to the
Herald's logic, the Democrats should
not have contested his reelection. If,
as the Herald assumes, the Republi-
cans Of Jefferson county will support
a Judge who has done his duty faith.

would, why should not the Demo-

Our farmers who are not taking
advantage of the opportunity offered
them in the services OF the county
farm agent are standing in their own
light. The agent is paid for his SER
vices out of local and national funds
and they are at the free disposal Of
all the people. Mr.. McInteer, our
local agent, is very capable agricul-
turalist and can be of vely great ser
vice to the farmers calling on him.
Every farmer is confronted by prob
lens where expert advice would mean
dollars and cents and, since this ser
vice can be had free, no should avail
himself of it. When in doubt about
the best course to pursue the farmer
should have the agent visit his farm

The Hartford Herald, which as
sumes that because a Republican did
it, it was wrong, challenges out state
ment about the condition of the coun-
ty roads. Fortunately this is mat
ter about which the public is not de-
pendent for its facts upon newspaper
statements. The roads are here, the
people are here, and the fact resolves
itself. Still our statement stands
that Ohio county roads are in decided
~ the best condition. they have been
in in the entire history of the coun-
~.
