Thompson, of Uniontown, coal operator, has filed an answer in proceedings brought by executors of his wife's estate asserting that $500,000 she had left for the establishment of a Protestant girls' home, should be paid to him. The answer said Thompson had settled $700,000 on his wife shortly before her death in 1919, and that it for the home had been completed by trustees. -eve Hit Me If Lieutenant John P. Andrews, the aviator, who made a flight over Washington yesterday, had been dropping a bomb instead of a pack- age which was thrown from the machine, he certainly would have made a bull's eye hit, for the pack- age struck the dome of the court house, as aimed, and landed on the roof over the Historical Society room, The flight to Washington was made from Donora, and Lieutenant Andrews carried as his passenger, Dr. Minor H.

Day, of the river town. After flying over the town the lieutenant looped the loop, a couple of times and started back to Donora without mak- ing a landing. Dr. Day had planned to drop a package, addressed to "The Observer," as near the court, as pos- sible. He asked the pilot when it should be dropped and was told that he should throw it overboard about ne snouia tnrow overDoard aoout one-eight of a mile from the point where he expected it to land, mak- ing allowance for the force of the wind from the propellor to blow it back.

24 Clean yjjir V. The ballot to be used at the general election to be held on the 2nd of November will more nearly approach the blanket size than any used for number of years, if indeed there ever was one of such dimensions The county commissioners have received a sample ballot from the office of George D. Thorn, chief of the bureau of elections of the secretary of the commonwealth's office at Harris burg. The ballot is 25 by 30 inches in S13e- There will be eight party squares at the left of the ballot, giving per- sons affiliated with the Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Prohibition, In- dustrialist, iLabor and Single Tax parties a place. There is also a blank space for the insertion of any name the voter may desire.

There ae likewise eight columns for the i-e- ception of thirtyeight names each for the position of presidential elector, At the head of these columns the names of the party candidates for president and vice president are giv- en. To vote a straight ballot will require but one mark a mark in the square at the left side of the ballot, although a complete ballot will require five marks, for there is a corner of the 'ballot devoted feature of the to the non-partisan election, there being a judge of both the supreme and su- perior court to elect. Neither of the candidates has any opposition, so there will likely be little attention Pa' to that when there are two amendments to the state constitution proposed, and each voter may, if he 's interested, vote for ce against either or both of these, A split ballot will require ni toiw win require more marking, although there are short ways to split and still not destroy anv portion of the ballot. However a complete split is tackled, it will require the placing of 52 marks, for uiere dre electors, two state assemblymen and tvo constitutional amendments While there are general instructions given at the top of the ballot for the voter, it is not made very plain how one can voto for all the presidential electors for his or her favorite candidate and split the remainder of the ticket. This, howev; er, can be accomplished with safety under the arrangement whereby one can mark a straight party ballot then go down the line and mark for others outside the party, those mark- ed for any particular office only counting for that office One feature of the ballot is that for the first time since the split in the Republican party 8 years ago, none of the names pre-empted after the Chicago convention live.

2 of "Vanishing Trail" negie, the contract to build 34,837 feet of one-course reinforced concrete roadway on route 115, from Hickory to Burgettstown, this county at the bid price of $475,646.50. This award was made by the state highway department in accordance northwestern section of the county, and is one of the four roads agreed upon by the state highway department and the Washington county commissioners for immediate improve ment The other three roads are the Speers Coal Center, the Monongahela Pike, and the road leading from North Charleroi to the city line of Monongahela, through the Horseshoe district jn Carroll townwship. The awarding the contract for the improvement 0f the Burgettstown road is the first to be agreed upon, although efforts have been made to place the Monon- gahela Pike under contract, but up to this time tenders in this proposed work have been rejected because only one bidder has made an offer, and because of what the department considered exessiv prices. However, people living in the sections served by these roads hope for better results the coming spring, when it is anticipated the department may be able to secure more favorable bids because of a return to more nor mal conditions. People in this section of the valley are still waiting for some definite steps to be taken in the way of get- ting the Speers-Coal Centre road un- der contract.

The PittsDurghRail- ways company appears to be the stumbling block at the present time and as soon as officials of that company can decide on their line of pro-ceedure the state highway department and the county commissioners say they are ready to make a forward move. In any event the awarding of the contract on the Burgettstown road looks quite favorable for a beginning of work on highways in the county which will ultimately mean the completion of the entire plan already agreed upon. Miss Erma Stuler met with a painful accident on Saturday. As she was leaving the Stuler shop in Chess street, a loose brick fell from the building striking her on the head.

A. GROrCOMW CHANGE YOUR LIBERTY BOND Have you any Liberty Bonds where all the coupons have been cashed? If so, you should send in the old bonds and secure new ones with all the coupons. When the Government sold Liberty Bonds they did not have time to, print the regular bonds, so they gave investors a temporary bond with. four coupons. This gave the Government ample time to have the regular bonds engraved and now these new bonds are ready for delivery.

If you don't trade in the old bonds, you lose the interest because there are no more interest coupons on the temporary bonds. This exchange applies nly to those Liberty Bonds where all the interest coupons are past due. The fourth Liberty Loan and the fifth, which is known as the Victory Loan, are not exchangeable as yet. The Fourth Liberty Bonds bearing 4 per cent interest still have one more coupon which is not due until October, 1920. The fifth, or Victory Loan, returning 4 per cent is doe in 1923, and the bonds have all interest coupons attached.

We will exchange your bond for you without charge. ALEXANDER COMPANY BANKERS MONONGAHELA CITY, PA.
