It Is a beauteous evening, calm and

 The holy time is quiet as a nun %. Breathless with adoration; the broad Is sinking down in it's tranquility; The gentleness of heaven Is on the sea; Listeni the mighty Being Is awake, And doth with his eternal motion
 make A sound like thunder-everlasting Dear childi Dear grill that walkest

 Thy nature is not therefore less di-

 And worshipp'st at the temples inner shrine, God being with thee when we know

Highway Organization Win Di.
rect Its Efforts toward Out
lining Legislation.

WASHINGTON. DEC. 1s To meet
the insistent demand for . model ROAD
flaw II is probable that the newly con.
stitated legislative committee Of the
American Highway Association Will
FIRST direct its efforts toward outlin-
ling legislation covering the establish
sment and operation OF state highway
departments and the apportfonment
lof state aid.
Out Of Politics.
A hasty review of state aid In OPP
leratiun conyinces me that the most
important step Is to take the state
highway department entirely out OF
politics, declares Walton Moore;
chairman OF the commit tee! II ind, 4;
says Mr.. Moore; that the most
fchanges and the most troubles have
occurred in those states where the
highway departments are subject to
political powers and are not conducts
led as non-partisan technical depart
Iments.''
\ Undoubtedly the committee will
urge that every state highway departs,
lment should consist of non-partisan
commission composed partly Of ex-
loffcio and partly by appointment and
that this commission should act In the
capacity Of q board of trustees for the
purpose Of appointing competent
state highway engineer and for the
further purpose of acting as an inter-
amedfary between him and the politi-
cal branches of the state government.
Experience has demonstrated that
Engineering positions should be filed
by appointment rather than election
land that the term Of service should
be as long as good service is rendered.
The committee also finds great me-
lcessity for the classification of the
roads and an apportionment Of cost
burdens to correspond with the class
liflcation.
Cost Apportioned.
This means that one township
should not bear the entire burden of
roads which are used by. several
townships and that one county should
mot bear the burden of a road that is
fused by several counties. Varying de-
lgrees Of traffic call for improvements
equally variable in character and cost
Iso that the legislat ton which will ulti-
|mately be found desirable and neces-.
lsary will apportion to each unit of
government its responsibilities, bur
dens, and benefits. The committee,
already has a complete compilation of

HUNT WENT ON HUNT
FOR HIS AUTOMOBILE
MADE FUTILE ATTEMPT 70 CAP
TURE MN WHO "BOR-
ROMED" CAR.

The young man who borrowed Dan
Hunts siX-cylindcr touring ear Thurs
day night evidently just wanted to
take a joy ride for after using the
machine for about an hour he left it
where he found it.
Here's the way it happened The
car was standing in front Of the Hunt
RiddiCk store on Main street and
about 1880 an unknown young man
went up to the car, cranked it and
started off Mr. Hunts oldest boy,
who had the car returned a few
minutes later To find it gone.
He waited around in front of the
store for some time and finally the
man returned. He left the car where
he had taken it from and started
down the street with young Hunt in
pursuit He walked only a short dis
tance and then darted up a dark
stairways with Hunt close behind
When he reached the top the man
who had temporarily purloined the
car swerved around and struck Hunt
a severe blow directly in the face.
THAT ended it for Hunt who was salts
fled to return to his car.
But anyway it was a Hunt" for
the car.
