IF A specialist in holidays were TO adopt
l. swift aviation as his mode Of travel,
he could, by visiting the right States at
the right tine, enjoy an average Of legal
holiday week throughout the entire year.
There would even be a few festivals left
over, for fifty.four holidays with State
sanction are registered on the calendar Of
the Union. Surveying the entire world, a
life Of gladsome ease could probably be
legally insured.
The statistician who delights in telling
one that every time the clock ticks a child
is born, Ford is produced. a new novel
completed or a new law passed. would be
unfaithful to his mission II he neglected
to add that virtually every day is holiday
somewhere on earth.
Foreign travellers have long had an
inkling Of this. notably in Spain, Mexico
Russia and Bulgaria. Thirty-three legal
holidays religious and secular, are rubri
Gated on the calendar Of the last.named
country. Turkey has an equal number
but their observance is factional. Moham
medans, Jews and the various species OF
Christians exhibit separatist tendencies ir
their festivals.

II may cost more to build roads now
than in ten years But no successful busi
ness man postpones for ten years build

Just as foolish for the State to wait for
the price of labor and raw materials to
fall before it spends money on roads. We
need the roads now and have needed them
for years Pennsylvania is one Of the
most backward OF the States in the East

per cent are improved. In New Jersey 30.3

ODDLY enough, although the date of
~ this holiday is suggested in the annual
presidential proclamation and every State
in the Union acts upon his tip, there is no
law ordering recognition of it in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. That federally admins
tered political division Is also laggard
with respect TO New Years Day. So also
is Massachusetts. but these are the only
exceptions, Every State has created Wash
ingtons Birthday holiday.
Herewith, save for election day, the uni
formity ends and local predictions be-
come assertive. Nine southern States, for
example, celebrate the birthday of Jeffer-
son Davis and twenty.six States that of
Lincoln Georgia takes the palm for
broad.mindedness, for both the leader Of the
Confederacy and the savior Of the Union
are honored by legal holidays in that Com
monwealth. Texas has an additional Inde-
pendence Day in March 9, signalling her
freedom from Mexican rule. Vermont re.

March 16, and Louisiana the triumph at
New Orleans on January g.

The taxpayers are not likely to overlook
the Governors remark that thirty-ton
motortrucks will not be allowed TO use the
State roads. No ordinary highway can
stand up under the pounding of such heavy
vehicles. We have given franchises 10
steam railroads to carry heavy freight.
Those roads pay tax to the State. They
own their right of way and they maintain
it at their own expense Heavy trucks, at
no expense for their right of way and at
no cost for the maintenance of that right
of way, may be able to compete with the
railroads in carrying freight. But We
have learned during the last eighteen
months what ten.ton tracks will do to the
roads built for lighter vehicles, and the
taxpayers are in no mood to be burdened
with the cost OF upkeep of highways for
the benefit of traffic which can be carried
on the railroads. This does not mean that
motortrucking must be abandoned, but that
there must be a reasonable limit to the
weight of the load which the roads and
| bridges are to be called on to carry. There
| is legitimate business for the motortrucks
/ as feeders for the steam railroads and to
supplement those roads for comparatively
| short hauls, but the people are unwilling to
be taxed to provide right OF way for a
vehicle with load as heavy as that carried
| by freight car.
The primary purpose of the new road
system will be to serve the convenience of
the people of the State. This is evident
from the Governors statement that it is
planned to connect the county seats first
| and to make these connecting roads where

The defensive game OF both teams
was excellent and gains were difficult

line was endangered. Marshalltown's
attack likewise showed its effect on
the Grinneu line, but when the ball

SECOND TEAM DEFEATED
Loses to Heavy Toledo High School
Eleven. 81 to O.


The crippled second high school team
was beaten by the heavy first team OF
the Toledo high school, Saturday after
noon, at Toledo. 81 to o. Showing a
stiff resistance in the first half. and
holding the heavy Toledo team to a
score OF 6 to 0. the local youngsters
lost heart at the finish when three
decisions Of the referee cost them dear
ly. Toledo scored in the first quarter
when an intercepted pass gave the VIC
tors the ball on Marshalltown's ten
yard line. Coach Stouffer's eleven then
braced and carried the ball down the
field to Toledo's twelye-yard line, max
ing four first downs on straight foot
ball. Inability successfully TO execute
the forward pass probably prevented
score.
Toledo scored again when one Of the
ends. laying out near the sidellne,
ball over the line. The player was de-
clared offside by the headlinesman and
the ball was brought back but a wran-
gle followed in which the spectators
participated, resulting IN the referee
reversing himself and allowing the
touchdown. The referee penalized
Marshalltown half way to the goal line
for alleged slugging.
After Marshalltown again had rush
ed the ball close to the Teledo goal
line, Toledo secured the ball and i'm
mediately punted. The ball was touch
cd by Toledo player and knocked out
Of bounds, rolling into the crowds on
side lines. Two Marshalltown players
and Toledo athlete dove for the bali,
and the scramble which followed was
not witnessed by any OF the officials.
The ball was brought In, however, CIV
en- to Toledo and Marshautown was
penalized. The referee announced the
penalty was imposed for interference.
After these decisions the team lost
heart and Id the closing minutes of the
game Toledo. by forward passes, sent
the ball over the line three times tor
touchdowns.
The absence Of Zuercher and VIII
taker from the lineup greatly crippled
the eleven. Clemens. substitute for
Zuercher. played q slashins game for
Marshalltown. tearing big holes IN the
Toledo line and making nice gains
around the end. Merritt and st. Clair
