SETTLES A ROAD QUESTION
Commissioners Can Change Road
Specifications, Says Court

A board of county commissioners
may change the specifications in the
materials to be used on highways in
accordance with subsequent petit
tion of property owners in the bene-
district district if the contract has
not already been let the supreme
court held in decision Saturday.
The court denied writ Of mandamus
brought against Allen county by the
attorney general. This is the first
case Of it's kind relative to the 1917
road law. This case is considered
Of great Importance because in a
number of counties, property owners
have desired to change the specifica-
tions concerning the material to be
used.
1t applies to the Solomon Abilene
road for which hard surface has been
petitioned and the petitions approved
but the road not built. The district
has thus far refused to change the
petition to gravel as the commits
sioners requested, claiming that they
should have concrete the same as the
east end of the county.

ANOTHER mARkeR IN PLACE
City Is Looking For the Meanest
Man In Community

The street department this after
noon placed new cement marker mt

marker was pried loose and loaded

probably with an idea that 1t would
stop making a proper turn at that
dangerous intersection and allow jay
driving. The city officers are try
ing to locate the person who did 1t,
not only for the purpose of arresting
and fning him but In order to give
him a leather medal as the towns
most contemplate and meanest citi-
zen. The city is trying to stop acci-
dents and save life and property. Re-
moving the markers Is an effort to
make driving dangerous. Didn't think
there were that sort Of people on the
townsite, did you?
Commissioner McCurdy has done
good job In marking the intersec-
tions and the police force seems to
have the nerve to enforce the traffic
ordinance, regardless Of fear or favor.
The town Is back Of them--go to 1t.
II any advocates Of Joy driving think
they can tear out street markers
faster than Commissioner McCurdy
can put them in they have another
guess coming.

HOSPITAL NEEDS FUNDS
Subscribers Must Do Their Part If
Bills Are to Be Paid

Two large contractors bills for the
hospital were presented during the
past week. David Hill, plumbing
and heating contractor, presented an
order for $4,377. John GOsling.
general contractor. presented a bill
for $4,76O The treasurer did not
have sufficient funds on hand and,
therefore, made partial payments.
Other bills will accumulte rapidly
from this time on as the building will
soon be in its final stages Of compile
ton. The directors have hard pro-
blem to solve in raising the amount
of funds necessary to meet the COM
ing bills. There are still number
Of subscribers who have not made
even an initial payment. If all sub
scriptions were paid up to date,
there would still be deficiency OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 necessary
to complete the building. If every
subscriber will do his part, either by
paying his subscription or giving an
obligation maturing in September In
lieu Of his pledge, the board of d.
rectOrs will do the best they can to
meet the maturing obligations.

MOST OIL SCHEMES FAKES
Business Secretary Describes Bunco
Games on Investors

Three per cent of the oil companies
in the United States produce " per
cent of it's oil Ouput and the remain
ing 81 per cent are film fam COM
panies, in the opinion of Edward }.
Brennan. nagercOunsel of the
Better Business Bureau.
Among the typical Get Rich
Quick Wallingford' operations with
which Brennan has come in contact
he quotes the following:
A man in ST. Cloud, Mimi, sold
$4,000 worth of worthless stock IN
an automobile manufacturing propO-
sition. His only asset was large
trip hammer which he ran at top
speed when prospects were driven by
the factory"
St LOuisans lost $4,000 in an
other automobile scheme which was
evolved by man in Texas. He pro-
NOTED company to manufacture an
automobile Through circular advef-
tising matter he collected large sum
of money. After his arrest 1t de-
veloped that his total stock in trade
consisted of six automobiles which
he purchased in Cleveland, shipped
TO Texas and reassembled at his
plant there.
Another swindler in Buffalo, n.
Y, organized the Automobile League
of America. He sold memberships
for SO each and offered special dis
counts on automobile accessories to
the club members. The idea was
substitution. When member order
ed a nationally known make or au-
tomObile tire from the league 1t
would send cheaper grade OF tire
and tell him that it was out OF the
brand he ordered ''just now and
was sending much better and more
expensivs tire. Always a few mem
bers were supplied with the makes
they actually ordered Then when
the head of the organization was
brought to trial he subpOenaed only
those members who had been treated
fairly. Finally the Better Business
Bureaus of the United States got
after him and he was convicted.
Some old stock operators in st.
Louis were found to be buying stock
for go cents share and selling it
for $125 share, although the par
value was 81, he said.
A well-informed county official
estimates that Dickinson county has
lost $2,OOO,OO0 in oil and other pro-
motion investments in the past five
years. 1t may be too high, but one
small neighbOrhoOd is shy $4,000
through one bunch Of stock and
numbers of men have lost $4,000 or
more each trying to beat the other
fellows game. This would be a much
more prosperous county if we had
the money that has gone into the
pockets of sleek stock statesmen.

"It was nineteen years ago mat
Mr. Baker first took up the Bun
Rocks, with their beautiful golden
pmmage color, their almost equally
attractive yellow skin and their dual
purpose value for meat and egg pro-
duction. together with the numerous
other good qualities possessed In
common by all varieties OF the Ply
mouth Rock breed, and for ten years
he has ranked as the leading breed
or of this fowl in the United States
and Canada. judged by the quality
and number Of choice specimens pro-
duced by him.
From the first, as stanch ad-
mirer and competent breeder OF the
Golden Bluffs. Mr.. Baker has recOg-
nized and appreciated their egg-pro-
duction power with the result that
his strain has made high records In
public laying contests and won prizes
In competition with the single-pur-
pose breeds.
Half dozen years ago Mr..
Baker, realizing the widespread, rap
idly growing popularity Of Rhode
Island Reds, notably among farmers
of the Central West, bought into a
long established strain Of Single
Comb Reds, so that now his strong
love for standardized domestic fowl
is divided between two grand fOcks
Of two grand American breeds.
