The meeting of the Cass County

will be held at Union on Friday

association to see that highways are
made fit for travel at all seasons of
the year and that the travelers from
the north ( south, east and west can
find the proper kinds of roads to get
over at all times.
The bridge and roads movement is
an important one in this day and
