SECRETLY COUNTY BUYS JONES AUTO Commissioners Delay Purchase of Roadster Until After Election.

Possible consequences at the polls resulting from publicity of the purchase of a two-passenger automobile for County Highway Superintendent Jones, led to secrecy among county officials which has Just come to light. Tomorrow the commissioners will alUw a bill for $476 to the Bethard Auto ageacy for a roadster. This was purchased the day after election. Its purchase was contemplated thirty days before election when Mr. Jones asked for it to replace the county motorcycle which was sold because it effected the highway superintendent's health. "We will buy the automobile but we do not believe it is advisable to buy it until after election," the county commissioners informed the highway superintendent. Accordingly on the day after election it was purchased and on November 21, more than two weeks later, the purchase was authorized by the commissioners. The law of advertising for bids was ignored and the machine was purchased as an "emergency." Since that time although there was no spoken agreement to keep the purchase a secret, it has been kept as quiet as possible. Some means of transportation is neoessary to the proper performance of the duties of the highway superintendent. Mr. Jones used his own machine and the county repaid him for the gasoline, but not for the general wear. This arrangement proving unsatisfactory the motorcycle was first given a trial but was abandoned after a month's use. It cost the county $200 and was sold far $175.

is all wrong."

Christmas, The Good Will Time What is Christmas anyway if it is not a time for the display of "GoodWill"? The children are asking about Christmas with wondering and hopeful expectations of what Santa Claus will bring them. The older people are asking it. not so much in speculation regarding the remembrances that Christmas will bring them but rather what they will buy for little girls and boys and grown-ups, too. Altogether it's a perplexing problem, but one in which there is much genuine joy in the solution a time of "GoodWill peace on Earth to Men." Enter the spirit of the occasion and "Shop Early."
