RULING AFFECTS
TEXAS ROAD
DISTRICTS
500, 900, 900 in Highway
Expenditures Are
Involved.

WICHITA FALLS, Jan. 5.-CR)
Special road improvement districts
throughout Texas, some dating back
1S years, and representing nearly
500, 100000 in expenditures, are be.
heved to be subject to cancellation
under a decision handed down yes.
terday by the United States Supreme
Court at Washington.
The ruling sustains contentious OF
the defeated minority in an election
Tor creation of a special road dis
trict in Archer county, that they were
taxed without due process of law for
road improvements which they claim
ed did not benefit them.
Although no estimate of the conse-
quences of the decision has been OBJ.
tanned from the Texas attorney gen.
erars department, it is obvious that
all special road districts in Texas
are open to litigation attacking their
validity. Thousands of miles Of high
way built since the Texas Legislature
In 1909 authorized the special dis
trict system, would be involved as
would also outstanding bonds.
The Supreme Court held that crea-
ton OF Road District No. 2, of Archer
county, was repugant to the due pro-
cess clause of the fourteenth amend
ment of the federal constitution on
the ground that the district was not
a recognized political subdivision
whose affairs could be administered
! permanently constituted authori-
ties of the state. In making the dis.
tinction the court cited as inimical
to due process the fact that the dis
senting minority was without re-
course to the legislature, since the
legislature did not create the district
but only authorized it.

NOW COMES 'NECKTIE PARTY
AS CURE FOR RADIO TROUBLE

a local dealer began installing super
heterodynes with an outside antenna
instead of a loop, increasing the
amount of radiation for which this
type Of set is responsible. When oper-
ated on loop, interference caused by
the average superheterodyne is ex-
tremely small, but when placed on an
outdoor aerial this interference is in
creased proportionately.
In his plea, the fan asked eff there
is any way to cause the local agency
to install these as they are intended?'
The Radio Digest's answer con-
cluded: 1--WE know of no way except
perhaps a 'necktie party"

Kandota Township Farmer
Collects Cd Bi From N. P.
Wages Earned in 1883 Paid Few
Days Ago-Quit Job With
out Collecting

Fred Nelson Berg, farmer and
resident of Kandota for the past 25
or 80 years received pay check
from the Northern Pacific Railway
Co., last Friday for services he rem
Jdered in 1883 as a section hand on
the Little Falls-Dakota Branch.
In July 1883 Mr.. Nelson Berg
was lured to the Dakota harvest
fields by the big wages being offered
and did not wait for the pay car
which was the custom of the N. p,
those days, to arrive, but proceeded
to the Dakota's leaving all claim to
his wages behind.
About three weeks ago he came ia
the conclusion that he might use these
wages to very good advantage if he
could obtain them, so he had all the
necessary data arranged and sent to
the Northern Pacific office at St.
Paul. Friday February IL, 1926, he
received a letter with check enclosed
from H. A. Clifford, treasurer of the
Northern Pacific. The statement
read: 10 days at $1.50-$19.50, les:
deduction for board $1O.5O.. Balance
due 1886 which was covered by
check enclosed.
- Mr.. Nelson Berg feels very CRATE
full to the N. p, for honoring hi!
claim which had been outlawed man!
years ago, and also for their trouble
of digging into their records Of
forty-three years ago to verify it.

Care Should Be Used In
Handling Radio Batteries
Gas From Sulphuric Acid Content
Will Severely Damage Curtains,
Rugs and Clothing -.

With the advent of radio has come
the common use of the lead and sui
phuric acid type of storage battery in
the household. These batteries con-
tain a solution of electrotype COM
posed of sulphuric acid and water.
Unusual care must be exercised in
handling this battery apparatus in
order to prevent damage to ones
clothing. The usual circumstances
connected with this destruction are
such that the owner of the batteries
seldom knows that the damage has
been started and it is brought to
light only when the clothes are sub
jected to washing and ironing. There
are almost always splashes and drip
pings from the hydometer and unless
the instrument is carefully wiped off
the drippings will invariably fall on
something valuable and do irrepar-
able damage.
In removing the filler caps the gas
escapes and this gas carries traces of
sulphuric acid. Any material with
which this acid-laden gas comes in
contact will be slowly but surely at
tackled. This means lace curtains,
hangings, table covers, rugs, and
clothing.
In one home a clean porcelain dish
placed seven feet from battery
which was on charge twenty hours,
was found to be affected by the
acid; a table cover nine feet from
tee battery and charging outfit was
ruined by the action of the sulphuric
fumes.

"The personality of the playwright
is seldom so clearly stamped upon a

one. In the portrayal of young
American types and in brililance of
dialogue the Intimate Strangers
does not allow one to forget the
source of it's inspiration. 1t is as
much Harrington as a Barrie play is
