Yet at home, too many of us are presenting the enemy with information of the same military value, the office of censorship says in a statement.

Do not tell the troop units in which soldiers serve overseas. There i.s no objection to revealing that Pvt.

"It is no wonder the year was a good one, no wonder the county's roads grow better from year to year.

"Pursuant to an act of the legislature passed in 1893, Mason county supervisors, by the required two-thirds vote, submitted to the electors in 1893, the proposition to adopt a county road system. The people seized eagerly upon the opportunity for better roads and at the 1894 i election thc county road system became a fact. In this, Mason i county was among the first in the state. i "More than any other one man, Supervisor John Swanson was responsible for the action of our board. He was the very father of our good roads and to him the people of this county should erect a monument of im- I perishable bronze.

Approximately $90,000 have been expended during these years. "Much has been learned since the first few rods of road were built and some of that first road was rebuilt in accordance with experience gained during those years. In fact, the commissioners rebuilt in the most improved fashion the road from Houk's to Swanson's and next season the road on Ludington avenue as far east as Eagle school will be repaid.

The avoidance of coronary occlusion is difficult, if not impossible, but once the electrocardiogram has revealed areas of damage in the heart, medical supervision can do much to prolong life. "Moderation in all things" is probably the secret for avoiding this type of heart ailment, just as it constitutes the most effective therapy. The middle-aged individual must reconcile himself to curtailing his more strenuous activities, however repugnant such a program might be.

ESTABLISHED 1908 GEO. E. DORRELL DON M. CRAWFORD Supervisors at that time could vote only 1,000, which they regularly did, the money being expended and the work done under supervision of a special commissioner appointed by the board. By bonds, other and larger sums were often raised.

Good roads were always approved, but until 1894- there was a lack of uniformity. Under the county road system five commissioners may be elected, who are empowered to lay out county roads and to determine the amount that shall be expended upon them up to $1 for euc-h $1,000 of assessed valuation. With consent of the board of supervisors, this amount may be increased to $3 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation, which was done here almost uniformly. When the commissioners determine a road to be a county road it is given a name, by which it is thereafter indicated in their proceedings. "The statute generally in force limits the amount that may be expended to two for each $2,000 of assessed valuation.

With the strong spirit in this county for good roads, this sum was felt to be insufficient. The board of supervisors made a unanimous request of the legislature that the amount be raised $1 per thousand. Representative Charles Harley engineered the bill through the legislature.

Board of Economic Warfare officials said today the shipments are "in line with our policy to share with Latin America our shortages as well as our surpluses." They added this "share and share alike" agreement stemmed Irom the policy enunciated by Sumner Welles at the Rio conference last January. The United States has contracted to buy the entire exportable surplus of crude rubber from 16 Latin American countries and is sending machinery and men into the jungles to help bring it to shipping centers.
