SWEAT ASKS COUNTY BOARD TO OPEN A NEW ROAD WAY TO THE ROBERTS SCHOOL It's a long way to Tipperary, and E. H. Sweat of Roberts, thinks it is also a long way, far too long, from where he and his children and grand children live to where the latter at tend school. So, last night, he stated his case to the board of county com missioners and strenuously urged that a road in that neighborhood be open ed at once. Mr. Sweat said that for eight years they had been making out on promises about that road and that now they just simply, had to have some reliefsand a road. He said that he had to go three miles out of his way and, ac cording to his description of the sec tion of the road that is already' sup posed to be open, one would think that the European beligerents had been contending for territory along its route. He gave vivid descriptions of barbed wire entanglements and Insisted that something must be done. After talking himself into a healthy sweat and the board into a cold sweat and the audience into a nervous sweat, Mr. Sweat was finally assured that the board would make a special ef fort to give him the much needed road.
