 Rights of way and damages to ad- joining property have to be paid for by the states, and the federal govern
 ment will not pay any part of tho
 expense of making surveys, plans,
 specifications or estimates prior to the beginning of construction.
 The regulations require, too, that no part of the federal money be paid
 until it has been shown to the satis- faction of the secretary that adequate
 means were employed prior to the be- ginning of the construction to insure economical and practical expenditure. Prior to the acceptance of any bid sufficient opportunity must be given
 the office of public roads to have
 representative present if it so desires If a contract should be awarded to any other than the lowest responsible bidder, the government will not pay
 more than it's pro rata of the lowest bid, unless it can be satisfactorily shown that it was advantageous to the work to accept the higher bid Copies of all contracts must be cer- tified by the respective state highway departments and furnished the office of public roads, and specifications and plans must be made part of all con- tracts.
 T,N1 l. ing by the secretary of agriculture materials for construction, prior to
 use, must be tested for conformity with specifications.
 Certified vouchers showing the amounts expended upon any project and the amount claimed to be due from the federal government must be submitted upon the completion of the work, or, if the secretary of agricul- ture has determined to make pay
 ments as construction progresses, at intervals of not less than one month. The office of public roads will, as far as is practica ble, endeavr to have the roads of one state connect with those or another The effort will
 be to have the roads continuous in the states, and patches here and there will not be constructed out of
 any of the federal money unless they should be in localities where the 1 traffic is heavy and the demand
 great For instance, in some cases plans for roads branching out from
 market or industrial centers to thick i ly populated sections would be accent able to the government regardless of whether they connect with other market or industrial centers

POLITICS BARRED
 FROM NEW ROADS
Federal Government to Watch Its
 Appropriations Closely

Washington, Oct. 5.-Elaborate plans to prevent the diversion into improper channels of any part of the $75, 10000 which the federal govern ment is to spend in cooperation with states on good roads within the next five years have been made by Logan Waller Page, director of the office of public roads and rural engineer ing which will supervise the work. The government is determined, off, cials say, that there shall be no repc- tition of the lax methods and waste which have characterized the build ing of roads in many sections and that dollars worth of road bed shall be constructed for every dollar spent. Further, the public roads office is pre- pairing to see to it that the roads for which the government money is spent are places where the traffic demand is the heaviest and not where poll ticians or others desire them.
 The plans designated to prevent abuses are covered largely in rules and regulations promulgated by Sec retary Houston of the department of agriculture, under authority con- ferred by the federal aid road act. The rules, which outline the methods by which the federal government shall aid the states in the construc- ton of highways, provide that de- tailed information in reference to the proposed construction and mainten- ance shall be furnished to the secre- tary of agriculture before any agree ments are made.

Under the terms of the act the federal government pays the bill for one half the cost and the state pays the other half. More than a score of states already have indicated their intention to ask for federal aid and two, California and Connecticut, have filed formal ap- pl1cations.
 Project statements made to the de- partment according to the rules and regulations, are required to contain "all information necessary to enable the secretary to ascertain (a) wheth- CT the project conforms to the re- quirements of the act; (b) whether adequate funds, or their equivalent, are or will be available by or on be- half of the state for construction; (c) what purpose the project will serve and how it correlates with other highway work of the state; (d) the administrative control of, and re- sponsibility for, the project; (e) the practica bility and economy of the project from an engineering and con- struction standpoint; f) the ade- quacy of the plans and provisions for proper maintenance of roads; and (g) the approximate amount of federal aid desired.''

OUR LOCAL BANKS.

In this issue will be found a
financial statement of the two
banks of Hickman. a mere
glance at them indicates an un-
usually healthy condition of not
only the banks but the cOmmuni-
". The combined deposits of
the two institutions are the larg
est for many years. This spells
confidence and prosperity. OF
course, there are larger banks IN
the State, but we don't believe
there are any more efficiently
managed and few in towns of
this size as strong and trust
worthy. Along with modern
methods, courteous treatment, alb
solute security of funds, the pub
lie i'm general is becoming bank
patrons; finding it more satisfac-
tory than the individual system
of banking in old socks, buried
cans, and the like. Our local
banks invite even the smallest
snvings account - an account
y .ich every person should have
and extend the same uniform
courtesies to the small depositor
as are enjoyed by the larger
patrons. A small deposit will
start you in the saving habit, and
no matter how much you make,
if you never save, you'll never "a

Women and Dishraqs.

When WOMAN declares that she

herself down to the loves: i..vei in

sOnul appearance of that handy arti-
Gle of domestic utility TINT If any lisa
existed ut all in said rag it could not
possibly fall lower or feel meaner.
However, woman should never offer
herself In comparison with SO degrad-
ell an object, for the simple reason
that mankind! spurns the dishrag most
veheinentiy, and as woman exists sole
~ for man she should not seek to low
or herself In his esteem. When a rag
takes up its duties in the dishpan it
has reached the tug end of abandoned
hope, the climax perhaps OF u merry
life. But it is not of its past that Z
speak. 1t is Of its present social stand-

Ey FRANK FlLSON

Copyright. 1Sl6. by w. G. Chapman.l
Old Mrs. Susan Jenkins murder had
Mortified the town. Suspicion pointed
at once to Frank jenkins. her nephew,
who, after being repeatedly cut off and
rcinstated In the old lady's will, had
disappeared from the scene for sew
eral years until the week before.
Frank Jenkins struck me as weak
rather than criminal. could not see
him numbering his aunt in cold blood.
But sentiment was strongly against
him. His only friend was Mabel ARM
strong, who had helped keep the ne'er-
do-well as straight as 1t was possible
for him to go.
The evidence seemed extremely
strong. Frank had been living with
his aunt for week. The old woman,
who was irascible, had threatened
him again with the loss of her prop
erty. So much Jad, the Polish farm
hand, had volunteered through an in
terpreter. Jad was u sullen, ungainly
lout, who could not speak word Of
English. He had been employed about
three weeks and had come from an
immigrant bureau.
The Reeses, who lived next door,
had heard cries during the night. but
had thought the old lady was merely
angry and scolding her nephew. At
six in the morning Frank had burst
into their home, shouting that his aunt
had been murdered. She had been
strangled with a piece Of tape. and
there were signs of struggle in her
room. She clutched Il lock of hair in
her hand. 1t was obviously Franks

dreamed of Charles ever since his re-
turn. 1t would be affectation to say
that she had not often forgotten him
during the years Of his absence. But
with his return the memory of the old
love came back to her and, though she
dared not show 1t, she fancied Charles
was not Indifferent to her.
She fancled so that night when he
opened his heart to her. He told her
what wreck he had made Of his life.
II was fool. Esther" he said unhap-
PLY. Il squandered my youth. What
Is left to me nOw?"
As he said this he looked up. and
suddenly Esther knew that her eyes
had answered him. She blashed furi-
ously. Now that she knew he cared
for her she was afraid. And then
we'll, then an interruption came
For girlish voice rang out from
the street: Miss Rogers! Oh, Miss
Rogers. where are you?"
1t was Laura, unconventional us al
ways. Of course she was invited il
and presented to Charles. and as s0or,
as the man had set eyes on her he
uegan to dream again. He dreamed
Of youth that was yet recoverable.
He looked at Laura as If she embodied
all that Esther had been.
After that the man and the girl
often met, and Esther shrank more
and more into her shell. 1t was plain
that Charles cared for her no longer.
As for Charles himself. his mind was
in whirl, and he hardly knew what
he wanted; he was drawn like a mag
net by Laura's bright eyes and OBJ
yious interest In him.
Then. one evening, when he had en-.
tered the garden to call on Laura. he
was surprised to hear her in the little
summer house. 1t was pitch dark, and
before he could make himself known
the words he heard held him spell
bound. Laura was talking to Esther.
"Of course, I don't love Charles
Dawson" she was saying Indignantly.
"Can't I have little amusement with
the only eligible man left In tOwn?"
DO you consider it amusement to
ruin mans happiness and break his
hearth" asked Esther.
