Funds For State Roads.

= unOS FOF Stdte hOdCS.
The allotment of the state
road and bridge fund, amounting
to about $1,5OO,OOO, to the counties OF
the state, will be made by the State
Highway Commission at a meeting
March Z. According to the state law
every county must have allotted to it
at least per cent of the fund and the
maximum allotment for any one coun.
ty is per cent Since the three larg.
est counties contribute about so per
cent of the fund it is usual to allot
nearly the maximum to Ramsey, Hen
nepin and St. Louis counties and some
of the others which contribute much
more than l per cent, generally get
back what they pay in.
If this custom is followed this year
the commission will not have more
than 4 or at most per cent of the
fund to distribute along the other
counties of the state over and above
the minimum.
A preliminary meeting of the high
way commission was held in the Shu-
bert building to consider the applica-
tions of some counties for special al
lOtments.

state duties and eliminating overhead
charges without disturbing methods or
upsetting the general routine. The

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. Is, 1916.
Cutting of sun-grown tobacco is un-
der way and printing of the shaded
crop is at its height. Another week of
highly favorable weather has added
weight and body to the crop, which is
now looking far better than seemed
possible few weeks ago. Late plant
ed crops are marked by rank growth
which spells dollars for the owners.
The electric storm which broke the
heat wave last week Tuesday caused
local damage in parts of the Connecti
cut Valley. A number of tents suffered
and hail caused some loss. The dam
age, however, was not widespread and
the loss is limited to a few thousand
dollars.
Buying in the fields continues and
seemingly is gaining Roadway. Buyers
apparently fear that unless they take
measures to insure fair amount of to-
bacco at this stage they will be unable
to meet requirements later.

CHOPPED OFF THE TREE LIMB
 ON WHICH HE WAS SITTING
Charles Wagner Falls Fifteen Feet as
 Result of Absent Mindedness.

Charles Wagner, who is known by the breezy sobriquet of "Windy" mar rowly escaped serious injury some days ago when he fell fifteen feet with a tree limb on which he was sit ting and which he cut off in a state of absent mindedness. Charles Coach, who was with him at the time, tells the story. Mir. Wagner decided to climb up a tree to cut off branches which were too close to where the sparks came from the stove pipe. Taking a perch on one stout limb he cut off several others and then the world seemed to fall away beneath him, or rather to come towards him. The cause of the catastrophe only be- came known after an investigation which showed that "Windy" had am putated his own limb. Tve heard of the Irishman that hung on to a rope and cut it off above his head" says Mir. Coach, "but this was a new one" Mir. Wagner was not injured and has brought to town ten lynx and ten mink skins as compensation

BOSTON OPERA TROUPE
To PLAY IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 20.-Atlanta' s
grand opera lovers and devotees OF
grand opera throughout this section,
won't have to wait until spring for
their annual feast of music, as the
Boston National Grand Opera is COM
ing to the Atlanta theater in this city
on Friday and Saturday, February %
ard "a, for three performances, to
which will be added the famous Ballet
Eusse as special feature.
Opera lovers found last winter, when
the company played an engagement
here, that the enjoyment of the per-
formances, both from a musical and a
dramatic standpoint, was very much
enhanced by the more favorable setting
in large and modern theater, with
an exceptionally spacious stage.
operate acoustics in the Atlanta
auditorium, where the Metropolitan
Opera Company plays a weeks en-
gagement every spring, are unsur-
passed in any opera house in the
world, owing to the large quantity OF
wood in the interior construction of the
building, but the optical facilities OF
the auditorium are not the best in
the world
