sible bidder, the government will not
pay more than its pro rata of the

to the work to accept the higher bid.
Copies of all contracts must be certi,

Unless otherwise specified in writ
ing by the Secretary of Agriculture,

will be to have the roads continuous

patches there will not be constructed
out of any of the federal money unless
they should be in localities where the
traffic is heavy and the demand great.
For instance, in some cases plans for
roads branching out from market or
industrial centers to thickly populat-
ed sections would be acceptable to
the government regardless Of whether
they connect with other market or in
dustfial centers.

Where is she now, my Indian maid,
October of the laughing eyes?
She met me in the woodland shade,
Gaudy with red and yellow dyes,
Light foot, we trod the leafy floor,
Light hand, adept in ofrest lore,
That rustled crisp beneath our tread
She plucked from out their fragrant
bed
The spicy beds of wintergreen,
Whose scarlet corals nestled there
And showed me shyly, where to gelan
Though hidden deep, with jealous
care)
The Chattering squirrels nutty hoard
We blew the thistle's feathery floss
And once unearthed old Winters
sword,
Half buried meath the soft brown
moss,
And, then, one day, her brilliant dyes
OF red and gold began to fade;
The laughter died within her eyes,
And she grew sad, my nut-brown
maid!
In vain coaxed her back to play,
My little comrade, laggard grown;
Before I knew, she fled away,
And left me in the woods alone!
