Sunday. This news came from Ralph J. I'reston, a member of the I.n ra.v ette Fund executive committee, who is representing the Fund in Paris and who directed this distribution of the kits.

More than 23,000 of the eom fort kits have now linen delivered to the men in the trenches. The cable decluri's the soldiers were delightp.l wild the kits and that the corncob pipes were novelties they did not at first understand. Suggestions from the soldiers, nt the. request of the Americans were that as warm weather is setting in, some of the heavy arti cles for winter wear be eliminated from the hits and more socks, pipe stems nnd toolh powder he substituted. Apropos of this, the iinuoiincement is inn. Ic by the l,n Pavel to Fund that tin' contents nf the hit will soon be changed. The articles requested and numerous others lire to he sent. Milliard Harding Duvis, a member of the La I'nyelte Fund executive com mittee, is aiding malerially in making tii the list of nrticles for the new kits. His experience is eight different wars and under all sorts of weather conditions on the firing line, fit him admirably to know the needs of the soldiers and what articles ure of practical use to them. The total amount spent on Marion county roads for the three months end ing last week was )27.o 1 1.02.

In spending large sums on the rouds of this county the great problem of the county court is to get the maximum amount, of rond work for the money expended.

When the " Uniform System of ac counting" was in effect the super visors complained that their report was. too elaborate and that it toon an ex pert accountant to make one out, but the new report blanks are simple yet comprehensive.

With the amount given for gravel ing and the number of yards of gravel hauled it is an easy matter for the tax- uaver to find out how much ench yard of gravel costs his district to he ulaeed uuon the roads. He will also bo uhle to compare it with the neigh boring district and find out how much it costs there under similar conditions, If his district is paving too much to get the gravel on the road, he asks "Whvf" and the echo answers, WEST AND LAWSON SUED FOR COPPERFIELD RAID Following out the suggestion of the supreme ewirt given in a preTious suit, in which the court held that, while a chief executive and his agents may not be hold officially responsible for dam ages caused by any overt act which they may have committed in their, of ficial capacities, they might be held personally liable for damages resulting from the execution of their orders, two former saloon keepers of f'opperf iel.l, Maker county, have filed suits for dam ages in the sum otS00() against former Governor West and former Warden B.
