one In mercerised poplin which is

Three years ago California appro-
priated $1S,000,000 for good roads.
The various counties each appropri-
ated in addition from $250,000 to $3,-
100000 for the improvement Of coun-
ty roads which are feeders to the main
highways. Los Angeles county has
over 400 miles Of improved roads. BY
September one will be able to drive
from Los Angeles to San Francisco by

The same agitation that brought
California It's appropriation for good
roads is now being waged elsewhere

Whur we played ball an prison-base
On Sundays with the neighbor boys
All, them-thar days was full. O. joys!
Then when the broom-straw yallered
From all them frosts at ithad stood,
We longed an longed like ever thing
Fer burnin' off time in the spring.
Long somewhurs 'twixt sundown an

''The signs is all perzackly right
Fer burnin' off broom-straW tonigI t."
Then you an me most tuck a fit,

An struck out hard ds we could go
Fer that old broom-s straw hill, ,ye know.
We dragged our torches through the
straw,
An KEEP right smart ahead O. Paw;
He follered with a bushy pine
To whup out whur it crossed the line.
Sometimes the blaze was runnin' high
An lightin' up the earth an sky;
Then d'reckly it would change about
An jes' come purt'nigh goin' out.
Sometimes, too, when the air was still,
The fire went creepin' up the hill;
The long straWs burnt off at the
ground
An fell like dead men all around.
I use ter watch 'em doin' that,
An thought bout whur the war 'uz at
The straws was soljers, that away,
That fell an died, an thar they lay.
An somethin' else liked so we'll
Was that-thar pleasant smoky smell
That jes' KEEP lingerin' about
Long after all the fire was out.
It's funny how feller's nose
Will recollect sich smells as those,
Recallin things we heard an saw
When we was kids a-burnin' straw.

With the country under new tariff
law and the banking institutions under
a Democratic banking and currency
law, it has remained for the National
City Bank in New York to pile up
the highest amount of deposits in it's
history. One day this week it passed
the $500, 100000 mark for the first
time. When one bank in city of big
banks can accumulate three hundred
millions of dollars in the regular
course of business, it would look like
if there is anything the matter with
the country it is too much prosperity.

flood of hot air big enough to
float a Zeppelin, and they mess

raisers. But instead of letting
the cotton raisers have it, they
turned it right over to the bank.
