criticized the reported attitude of Mr..
Williams Mr. Williams was blamed

discouraging of the reelection of Mr..

| 1t was alleged that Mr. Williams
made statements concerning the atti-

were denied by representatives of the
organizations; that he made contra
dictory statements regarding the atti-
! tude of the township trustees; that he
visited only one farm bureau official,
| found him in favor of Mr.. Dolan, but
reported that every farm bureau of
/ fetal he had visited had agreed TO
Dolan's removal" that Mr.. Williams
khad claimed that Purdue university
had practically withdrawn its recon-
mendation of Mr.. Dolan and stood

that there would be no quorum of the

Il am sure you are mistaken in
thinking the board of education, or
even any number of its members can
be dominated by one man." said
Charles Jordan, one of the board
members, in presenting his position
Il came here to learn how ! should

it should be cast for Mr. Dolan. II
amy votes are controlled, mine is not
one, and it will be cast on July 20 for

To Visit Trustees
Ralph McMinn, Center township
trustee, made a similar statement
In addition to Mr. Jordan, there is
certainly one other vote that is not
controlled. I have not changed my
mind since the last meeting of the
Center township farmers when l told
them l would vote for any agent
recommended"
At the end of the meeting, repre-
sentatives of the townships all agreed
to appoint committees TO visit board
of education members who were not
present at the meeting, and to acquaint
them with the decisions of the meet
ing. Confidence in the attitude OF
the trustees and their faithfulness TO
previous pledges was freely voiced by

quired to maintain adequate highway

Mr.. Macdonald is the chief of the
federal bureau of Public Roads. I'VE
are starting out to construct a system

proach to it is found in France ana

i When and where man first began tC
build roads is not known. That it was
long before the beginning of authentic
history is certain. Furthermore the
construction of such works as the pyra
mids of Egypt and the great walls anC
hanging gardens of Babylon could no
have been accomplished without the
existence of roads for the transporta

CITY HEALTH OFFICER
POINTS OUT DANGERS
OF CAMP IMPURITIES

Camping and the simple life is not
always as care-free as some people
seem to think.
"A camper has to be careful of a
number of things" declared DR.. c. z.
Duffin, city health officer, Monday.
Lots of people forget that when they
are camping things are more liable to
get dirty and contaminated then they
are at home"
Everything that is to be kept should
be screened, because of the contami-
nation of insects or flies-Dr. Duffin
advised, as they can collect filth and
disease just as easily in the country
as in teh city, because of the greater
number of barnyards. and dead ami
mails that are left unburied.
Everything should be screened, to
hkeep the flies off, then everything
should be cleaned up so that there will
be no breeding places for additional
flies.
Must Watch Children.
Of course the youngsters should be
watched to see that they do not get
into poisonous weeds, like poison ivy,
and that any cuts or bruises are at
tended to.
For such needs the camper should
take little adhesive tape, tincture OF
iodine, and some gauze bandages.
But ventilation and water have tc
be looked after particularly. Usually
the ventilation in a camp takes care
of itself, but it is good to think about
it once in a while, he said
Water Supply Problem.
Water furnishes the greatest prob
lem to the camper Most of the sur
face water near here is contaminated
in some way or other he declared
In the larger streams the sewage o.
tn cities is dumped, while in the small
er streams contamination results from
dead or decaying matter that lies IL
or near the streams"
Even a short stream that runs bu
little way from the spring that give!
it birth may be deadly, because o
some dead animal that has fallen int
the stream.
Springs, the doctor said, were us
ually safe, but could not be depended
upon. If the water which comes GU
of the spring seeps through any con
taminated matter while in the grount
all of the impurities may not hav'
been lost. A barn or clubhouse on
hill above a spring may spoil it TO
drinking purposes.

More Millions for Roads
BY FREDERIC ]. HAskIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., July II. -
Within three years the United States
will have a system of highways SUI
perior to that of any other country in
the world. This is assured by the
new Post Office appropriation bill,
provisions of which include three items
aggregatlng $19O,O0o,OO0 to be ex-
pended under the DISQUALIFICATION
plan in the construction of high-grade
roads within the period indicated. In
addition to this, approximately $1O,-
900, 900 will be devoted to building OF
roads in the naional forests in %
states.
These new authorizations are ex-
pected to result in the construction Of
more than $4,000 miles of the federal
aid roads Previous appropriations
have provided for As, 900 miles which
are completed, in course of building or
projected and approved, which will
make a grand total of II 900 miles, or
nearly 40 per cent of the 10000 miles
contemplated in the system OF roads
now being outlined-a mileage almost
as great as that of the first class rail-
roads of the country.
With the rapid increase in the use
of motor vehicles of all kinds it Is
a tax upon the imagination to estimate
just what this will mean by way of 4
solution of the transportation problem
of the nation. It is conceivable, how
ever, that if this development con
tinues the time will come when q
railroad strike will be anything but the
menace it is now regarded. Food and
fuel supplies of the cities will not be
cut off, industry and commerce par
alyzed, movement of mails tied up and
the farmer barred from his markets
by breakdown of rail transportation
| if every state is criss-crossed with :
network of fine highways that max;
| the truck real competition of the
! freight train.
No longer will there be such a thins
as rural isolation. The tendency to
ward the congestion of the population
! in large centers may be checked. Th'
| back to the farm movement will b'
given a real impetus. Life will b.
made easier and more enjoyable TO
many millions, and relief may be founc
| for strains and stresses in the econ
| omic adjustments of society that hav'
been growing more serious in recen
| years.
Wide Field for the Work
What might be done in this line o
work is apparent when it is stated tina
there are at present approximate
two and one-half million miles of pub
, lie rural roads in the United States
/ Of this total less than II per cent, o
about 100000 miles, are improved wit
any sort of surfacing, while the mile
age of permanent, well-built roads c
the kind that is being constructe
where the government furnishes pal
of the money seems almost negligibl
by comparison.
The average cost of construction 6
the federalaid roads has been SIT, -
per mile. The expense of the wor
has been decreased materially With
the last year and the new appropri;
ton bill reduces the maximum partic
patton on the part of the governmer
from $4,000 to $16,250 per mile fc

Once again the audience at the

pleasure of hearing Evangelist Reedy
before he returns to Long Beach,
California. He spoke last night upon
the subject: Progression with
Unity" The sermon was one of the
best OF the entire series of sermons
being offered by the Church of
Christ. The evangelist took for his
text Romans /, 10: Il beseech you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ that we all speak the
same thing and that there be no
divisions among YOU" The follow

does not follow that because peo-
pie reject the many fads in religion
that they are progressive. The
early Christians progressed beyond
all measure; they progressed in
every good word and work. They
grew from a mere handful at penti
cost to many millions in less than
half a century and that with nothing
but the ways and means which the
Holy Spirit revealed to them. And
why such progress? The secret lay
in their unity. They all spake the

were satisfied with the divine wis
