From Monday's Daily Early Sunday morning a small auto accident occurred on the federal highway near the E. H. Spanglcr home, and as the result of which the Ford coupe belonging to W. R. Holly was very badly damaged. The car was being used by William Ket tleson and Clarence and Jack Ledge way and the young men had gone out for a little spin after the dance and when near the Spangler home one of the wheels on the car broke and caus ed the car to run to the side of th road and overturn into the ditch and caused a great deal of damage to the car. Fortunately the members of the auto party escaped without seri ous injury altho Mr. Kettleson re ceived a slight cut over tHe eye from the flying glass. The injured car was brought on into the city later by Lee Cotner and placed in the Ford hospital of George Petring where it will be repaired and placed in com mission again. In the meantime, Mr. Holly is traveling via the foot power. When the Binder Bucks Did you ever ride a broncho? If not. you can get about the same ex perience by riding a binder or mow ing machine across a field which is all cut up with ditches. The small ones are bad enough, hut when you Bit a big one and oreaK a casting or two then trouble begins. What can be Gone with these large ditches when they can no long er he crossed with machinery? Of course they can be fenced i nand al lowed to get deeper and wider each year until a good field is cut into several irregular fields, but a better plan is to use one or more soil sav ing dams in each ditch. Properly onstrurted soil saving dams will fill a large gully in a short time until it can again be crossed with ease. A heavy earth dam placed across the giiliy will effectively check the How of water and cause a fill of earth to form on the upstream side. It is evident that during a big rain the gully will soon become filled with flood water and in a short time the dam would be washed away. It is therefore necessary to provide a means of escape for hte water which is accumulated behind the dam. This is done by placing under the dam a concrete or tile cuivert. the upstream end of which is turned up vertically for several feet. It is evident that as soon as the water reaches the level of tiie top of the pipe, it will find a ready means of escape, but will leave the loose soil behind. Those interested in the con struction of the soil saving dam should get in touch with the local Farm Bureau, which will give them the necessary information.

COMMISSIONERS EN SESSION I II III IV I II III IV From Wednesday's Dally The board of county commission ers yesterday convened for their reg ular monthly meeting and to wres tle with the various bills and prob lems that were on hand to confront them. One of the chief matters that is up for the consideration of the board is that of securing assistant counsel for the forthcoming cases in the district court that comes up as the result of the indictments returned last No vember by the grand jury. The chief case that has been set for hearing at this term of court is thpt of the State of Nebraska vs. C. D. Quinton. others having been laid over until the fall term by agreement. In the previous cases in January, special council was on hand to represent the interests of the state and to oppose the notable array of legal talent that had been assembled for the defence. In these cases the state secured convictions in all but two of the cases. The amount of fines and costs covered by the ver dicts in favor of the state will prac tically care for almost all of the grand jury expense and the trials. In the pending cases. County At torney Capwell will appear but as he has not participated in the other cases finds that he should, in justice to the interests of the state, have assistance in the cases and has had the matter up with the board of commissioners but so far there have been no definite arrangements made for securing the desired assistance. The services of an auditor will also be necessary in preparing the evi dence in the case and this also is pending before the board altho the .trial of the cases will start a week j from today.
