Since a very large portion of the

that We elect the very best qualified
men on the board that can be had from

section of the county that has had any
actual experience in building and
maintaining roads. Mr.. Dodson is also
thoroughly qualified for any other
duties that may be placed upon him as
a member Of the Board of Revenue and
his integrity and character is above re-
proach.

SPARKLE STILL SINISTER
Misfortune Has Dodged Mclean Since
He Purchased Hone Diamond

WASHINGTON. = And now they
say in Washington social circles that
the famous Hope diamond bought by
Edgar Beale Mclean for Ills wife sew
eral years ago. is getting in its sinister
work again, as evidenced by the un-
savory tangle into which the McLeans
have been plunged, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
Ever since Ned" Mclean bought the
Hope diamond it has brought him moth
ing but i'll luck. Since 1868 the Hone
diamond has had its succession of own
ers--kings. princes. famous lords and
ladies-nnd to all it brought disaster.
The MeLeans decided TO take the risk
of purchasing the stone. Knowing its
history Mr. Mclean had proyiso in.
serted in the contract of sale, providing

the sellers would take back the diamond.
The six months passed without incl
dent. Then the sale was confirmed.
Shartly afterward. Mrs. McLean'S
brother. Ninson Walsh. was killed in
motorcar accident Then followed the
tragic death of the McLeans' son and
heir. Ninson Walsh Mclean. named for
Mrs. Mel ,an's brother. the heir to the
combined Mclean and Wash fortunes.
The little boy had been guarded with
extreme care by nurses, detectives and
strong-armed men. Threats of kidnap-
ing had frightened the McLeans.,. Des-
pite all the caretakers he had constantly
at his elbow, the child slipped out of
the front gate of the Mclean home.
Just outside Washington. and was al
most instantly killed by passing motor
car.
With the election to the presidency of
Senator Harding the McLeans at a
bound became the social ar6iters of the
White House. Yet bitter humiliation
came when the newly. elected President
was forced to cancel the inaugural fes.

Now come the allegations against Mr..
