katherine,s Kindness

Katherine is two and a half years
old. Her father came home one after.
noon, after working three days and
three nights at high pressure, with al.
most no sleep. He lay down with the
feeling that he did not want to wake
up for week. Half an hour later.
from the depths of his dreams, he
heard a small. clear voice: "Father,"
The sleeper stirred and turned his
head on the pillow.
Father! Father!"
He stirred and moaned.
Father! Father!"
He struggled and resisted and floun-
dered. and finally raised his eyelids
like a man lifting heavy weights. He
saw Katherine smiling divinely beside

STATE ROADS

Following the apportionmerts made
by the state highway commission, ac-
tive work on the construction of state
roads will ,be commenced in many of
the counties at once. Before work
can be commenced it is necessary,
however, for the commissioners of
the various counties to accept the
apportionments made by the state
highway commission.
In regard to this, Commissioner
Ehrhart has issued statement in
which he says, "While the apportion-
ments made by the advisory board
Of the state highway commission have
been accepted by many of the coun-
ties, there is still number from
which we have not heard. The time
in which the road construction can
be done in Colorado is, at best, very
short, and it is to the advantage of
each county that the commissioners
at once accept the apportionments
made.
'In sending in their acceptances
to the state highway commission, it
is necessary that the commissioners
clearly specify upon what roads the
state funds are to be used, and how
much the counties win eXpend on the
said roads,
While the appointments made by
the commission amounted to the sum
of 1928 900, other sums are yet to he
allotted to the counties, and this will
probably be done at a meeting of the
board which will be held in Denver
ON May 5. In the meantime, those
counties which have not notified the
highway commission of their accept
ance of the amounts allotted to them
are urged to take UP the matter i'm
mediately.

ticn is having printed for distribution.

les have been sent to all the county
