ROADS SELECTED
FOR FEDERAL AID

The State Road Committee
has selected the Harrisonburg &
Warm Springs Turnpike as one
of the highways to receive a
portion of the Federal Road Aid
fund. This turnpike extends
from Harrisonburg to Warm
Springs in Bath County, and the
route will be extended over a
road to Hot Springs and thence
to Covington, where it will con-
meet with an east and west high
way to receive Federal Aid also.
The road committee, which is
composed of members of both
branches of the General Assem-
bly,, was appointed to select
highways which will receive
Federal Aid under a recent act
OF Congress. Virginia's appor-
tionment under the law will be
81, 100000 during the next five
years, but to secure the advant.
age of this fund the State of in
diyidual counties must provide
an equal amount.
Senator Harry Flood Byrd,
of Winchester, was the member
of the committee from the Val.
ley. On his motion, the high
ways in the Valley selected for
Federal Aid, in. addition to the
Harrisonburg & Warm Springs
Turnpike, are as follows:
The road from New Market to
Luray, thence to Stanley, Madi.
son Court House and Gordons.
vile, where it will connect with
a north and south highway.
The road from Woodstock to
Calvary, Shenandoah County
and thence toward Lost City,
West Virginia, where it will
connect with a highway to be
built under Federal Aid 70,
West Virginia.
The road from Winchester tc
the Potomac River as a part oil
the Winchester Washington
Highway and a link in the Nat.
ional Highway from Washing
ton to Bristol, Tenn.
The Federal Aid funds will
not be available until the Gen.
eral Assembly meets next year
and decides whether the State
will put up an amount equal tc
the Federal apportionment, OF
whether the counties through
which the selected roads run
must provide the funds.

Bob White, The Song Bird.

By defining the quail as a song
bird, the legislature Of Ohio pro-
vided Bob White with perma-
nent protection. All the year
around is to be closed season for
him. He is no longer to be guard
ed for long periods, fed and en-.
courage d to propagate simply to
provide a holiday and a half
mouthful of food for sportmen
His lite is henoefortl dedicated
to song and cleaning the farm
er's field of injurious insects.
The new definition is Just.
Bob White is a songster of high
standing. There is thrill and
poetry in his salutation, a prom
Use of fair weather in his eve
ming call, of cheerfulness and
good will Ill his tuning up at
dawn. This would be enough
to warrant preservation. But
Bob White gives more-a hearty
appetite for bugs and beetles,
the worms and flies, which try
to make their living out of the
agricultural industry.
Other states should follow this
Ohio definition making. Where
lie quail is taboo to the hunts
man, there will always be melody
ind delight and fewer cut-worms.

An Unexpected
Christmas Present

.nNE Christmas day some years
~ ago Almas temple Of the Shrin-
ers of Washington gave its
annual dinner to the poor. 1t was a
well planned affair, generously contrib
uted to, and turned out a big success.
But the most notable thing about 1t
was not on the program and made the
hit Of the occasion. Whenever men,
bers of the temple think Of the celebra-
ton they chuckle over their unexpected
Christmas gift.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves Of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one Of his sto-
ries there entered another big, fat
Santa Claus, carrying a colossal bas-
ket full Of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets Of bread. One Of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent gift Of bread to
be distributed and signed q receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads Of
families, and an additional smile Of
Christmas Joy went around everywhere
with them.
When the festivities were nearly over
and the crowd had begun to dispense
q man came running In and asked the
committeeman:
did you get 80 loaves Of bread?r
1--WE did," was the reply.
what did you do with itf'
"Gave It away"
"Well, that was an order from the
Carroll institute. It came here by
mistake. But 1t Is all right. We are
glad you gave 1t away, and II you need
more let us know" And the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with the
incident.-New York Times.
