Mystery of Colored Signs Seen Upon State Highways Kxp The small bell-shaped signs in various colors seen attached to telephone poles and trees along the state roads in this section, which have puzzled many travelers were erected by C. B. Knott, manager of the at Cooperstown and were designated to direct tourists to that well known Cooperstown hotel. The idea is a copy of the system followed in New England where trunk lines of highways i east and west are marked by red bands about poles or stakes along the highways and other main arteries running north and south are marked by blue, yellow or other bands. It has been proposed that Xew York state follow the same plan but the suggestion has not been adopted.

Tho scheme of the O-te-sa-ga manager embraces four colors. Those usei.l along the highway from Bing- a through Oneonta to Cooperstown are blue, those from Kingston through Oneonta to the county seat are red, while yellow is the color adopted along the Albany route. "Then the state road from Utica to Cooperstown is completed it Is planned to mark this route with white signals. This explains why the blue, red and yellow bells are seen in clusters between Colliers and Oneonta. The signals are made of concrete and are attached with short metal arms and the hotel management is confident a i he more durable a wooden signs.

He took his auditors to England, France, Holland, 'Germany, Turkey at.d Scotland and found time during his recital to mingle with the humor much of wholesome truth, which appealed as effectively as did the amusing experiences.

They say a negro's skull is hard, but it is nothing compared to the soles of Congo's feet. Congo is the black man from Africa at the Moose carnival who plays with alligator; and a devil fish. Last night he showed the crowds how he can dance on broken glass in his bare feet. He.declares he has nothing other than skin on his soles. The magician in one the side shows seemed to be quite a favorite yesterday.

Many watched while he changed bran into salted peanuts, and confetti into three flags of our allies tied together. But as usual the merry-go-round, the Ferris wheel, the popcorn booth and the frankfurter stand drew the most people. Following the stopping or boxing and the use of a wheel of fortune at the carnival earlier in the week, the police last night informed the management of one of the side shows that they either must discontinue the stag- Ins of offensive dances or the police would close the place. This action fol, lowed after the show had gradually become more daring each night. In the wrestling match last night Lloyd Williams lost to Henry Preuss.
