SOLDIERS HIT
THE MUD AGAIN
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, March 31-This morning
a truck load of members of the To-
cal legion started west out of Aledo
to patch mud holes in the roads be-
tween here and Joy.
The holes are being planked to
make them passable for autoists,
and it is hoped by dollar day, sched-
uled here for next Wednesday, that
all roads will be in fair condition
for both team and auto travel It
is the consensus of opinion that
all mud holes in the county have
been caused by poor drainage, for
wherever the roads are well crown
ed and the bitches kept clear they
are now in fair condition.
Besides the legion members, the
Aledo retail merchants and bust
ness men have been engaged in
the work of putting the holes into
shape. The Joy Welfare associa-
ton was the first to hit upon the
idea of planking the holes and re-
paired a number in this fashion last
week. No effort will be spared to
have all county roads in fair con-
dition by Wednesday.
