The State Roads Commission will
ask the next General Assembly to pre-

Improvement will be urged on the
ground that there is general demand
for wider roads. Another argument
will be that many accidents can be
avoided by the addition of the should

As result of his dime novel research

of metropolitan birth and education,
frets along within the confines of the
crowded city in anticipation of the
day when he will sit astride bucking

on the great plains are based entirely
upon the gaudy covers of ten-cent
weeklies which he has been reading
since early boyhood Thus he pictures
the west of to-day exactly as photo

PLATTSBURG, May 25.-The Off

Awaiting the arrival of textbooks
from Washington, the different COM
panies heard explanations of the Eng

from their officers. Here is an excerpt
from the Infantry Journal, which was
read at several conferences:
1T is apparent that bayonet fight
ing as taught for trench warfare
abroad lacks all the niceties of the
art of bayOnet fencing as prescribed
in our manual. In bayOnet fighting no
fouls are known. The only rule to fol-
