Leg Ilrokcn In Football Game.
A most deplorable accident oc
curred on Tuesday evening when
Cecil, the 9-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. O. F. Wittoroff, sustained a
broken leg in a game of football. The
boys were having a practice game.
nen one or them fell with such
force on the little fellow that h
rlsht leg was broken about five
Inches above the knee. The Injury
was purely accidental, such as might
occur in any game of football, which
at its best Is a dangerous game. The
fracture Is a bad one, but at the
present time the boy is doing as well
as could be expected.

In some of the leading states of
the middle west it Is a practice for
the owners of farms to turn out and
with their neighbors do road work,
regardless of tho fact that their
"road tax" has already been con
tributed, and tho same interest Is
taken on tho streets of small cities.
This Is the spirit that makes real es
tate valuable by being easier of ac

of the city pleasanter. It Is the work
