Farmers Want Expert Highway Supervision

County Commissioners Receive Appeal From Good Roads Association Asking Appointment of Qualified Officer. Members of the board of Wayne county commissioners have received an appeal from the Indiana Good Roads Association to appoint the best qualified man to the position of county highway superintendent, an office created January next. The superintendent will be chosen by the commissioners at their first meeting in January. As was announced in The Palladium a few days ago there is a strong sentiment in Wayne county, especially among the farmers who are intensely interested in good roads, for the appointment of a capable, hustling highway superintendent. This sentiment was reflected by the opposition shown to the candidacy of Robert Beeson, who retires from the county board on Dec. 31. Opponents of Beeson charged that a better qualified man could be found for this office. Practical Man Needed. The Indiana Good Roads Association in the circular it has addressed to the Wayne county board says: It is evident that a man of more than ordinary qualifications is necessary to fill all these requirements, and that he must have a high sense of honor to carry his responsibilities successfully. Some of the work requires a civil engineer, some a practical road man, some a good business man, and some a good manager of men. It. will not be easy to find men who have all these qualities for the compensation fixed by the law, but if the road law Is to be administered as contemplated by the law, the appointment must be very carefully considered and the very beat man available must be chosen. Almost every county now has one or more Purdue University students or graduates of some engineering EXPECT JTIFF GAME Centerville and Thorntown Teams Meet Tonight. CENTERVILLE, Ind., Nov. 26.

We are therefore calling your attention to the importance of the appointment you must make so soon and offer our assistance in procuring information and assisting in any way possible. Duties of Office. To show the importance of the new office the Association summarizes the duties of the superintendent as follows: 1. He shall make a map of all the highways in the county, giving the length and character of each road, and name or number the same. 2. Shall have general supervision of the maintenance and repair of all highways, bridges and culverts, and establish standards for same. 3. He shall investigate and determine the method of highway maintenance best adapted to the needs of his county. He shall give due regard to topography, condition, character and volume of traffic. 4.

Mrs. Davis is survived by her husband and four hiMren. Funeral services will be held at Spartarifcburg. Because of many relatives living at a distance, the time will not be set untii they are heard from Carlton, Norman and Lewis Anderson, (ieorge YV. and W. L. Davis, Ed and Joshua C'henoweth and Mr. W. Brooks returned from a northern hunting trip Sunday evening. Ten deer was the result of the trip Mr. and Mrs. Owen Piatt left the last of the week for Missouri, where they will visit with Mr. Plait's sister, Mrs. Will Evans.

The Knights of the Holy Grail will give a play Thanksgiving evening at the opera house. "The White Lie" will be presented. The cast Is made up of some of the best of the former players, and the play is expected to be as much of a success as their former plays. Seats, which were placed on sale Monday morntng at Wogoman's candy kitchen, were mostly sold during the evening, which is evidence that the public expects the play to come up to the standard. Miss Echo Roland of Richmond is the guest of friends and relatives here for a few days. The school here closed today until Monday. The teachers will attend the Randolph county institute at Winchester Friday and Saturday. LOCAL POST OFFICE HOLDS UP CARDS Thanksgiving postcards in large numbers are being held at the local postothce because they are covered with tinsel. Such cards may not be sent through the mail unless they are placed in sealed envelopes with a 2-cent stamp affixed. Yesterday a young man mailed a dozen Thanksgiving cards of this kind to relatives and friends. If they had been properly prepared every one would have reached its destination on Thanksgiving day. But he had placed 1-cent stamps on them and placed the cards in envelopes. This made it impossible to cancel the stamp. The name of the sender is unknown, and the postage must be collected at the other end before they can be sent on. This will mean that Thanksgiving will be over several days before they are received, simply because the sender failed to observe the rule. Wnh the advent of the Christmas holidays an unusually large number of this kind of cards will be laid aside until the rush is over before they can be given attention. The only proper ways are either to use other kinds of cards or place them !n anvenvlope with a 2-cents stamp thereon. Large quantities of eggs are being sent from Prince Edward island to the Boston market since the new tariff law came into effect.

A TALK ABOUT CHAIRS

Mission Chairs and Rockers are excellent examples of the sort of chairs whose very appearance is a guarantee of ease and comfort, whose substantial, broad and simple lines seem to radiate a fine friendliness that is a constant invitation to sit down and rest one's self. And they live up to their looks. Built to last a lifetime, their frames are of quartered oak, finished in either fumed or early English the deep, leather covered, upholstery is supported by finely tempered steel springs. They fit into the scheme of almost any room, and are truly inexpensive, when their quality and durability are considered.
