a wife 20 present to her Indian hus-
band as her own in an effort to win
back his affection, is being investi-
gated by representatives Of the county
attorneys office.
Each succeeding development in the
story, which has a plot like that Of a
moving picture scenario. is proving
more pulling TO the investigators,
who are attempting to recover the
child from 4 third man who is said
to be keeping it away from the wife.
Born In Kansas City.
The county attorneys office is also
investigating a report that a nurse
obtained the child from a maternity
hospital in Kansas City. announce

that the child was his own, and re-
ncwal OF his love for the wife, and

FARMERS Want US.
TO AID GOOD ROADS
National Grange Officers Get
Letters From 21 States
on the Subject.

Farm sentiment throughout the Unit
ed States is overwhelmingly in favor
of governmental participation in high
way construction and maintenance if
letters received recently by officers OF
the National Grange can be taken as in
dicative of rural opinion on this subject
Not long ago the Washington repre-
sentatives of the National Grange sent
! out letter to every state onlclai OF
that organization in which was in
closed a letter from Senator Charles
Ii. Townsend calling attention to his
measure for a national highway sys-
tenn and a federal highway commission
and explaining the reasons which ne
felt made necessary broader national
road policy.
Responses to this communication
have thus far been received from To-
cal oranges in twenty-one states and
the proportionate result has been twelve
votes to one in favor of the adoption of
the Townsend bill. The replies range
from Maine on the north down to West
Virginia and as far west as Washing
ton and Oregon. The bulk of the an
swers come from the northern states. as
the grange larger membership is found
in these states.
Give Unqualified Endorsement.
In each case the reply has been
made only after the matter has been
considered by the grange membership
before which the subject was placed.
| For the most part the writer's were
content to give unqualified indorse-
ment to the measure, but where more
detailed letters were written strong
feeling was disclosed that the gov
ernment is big enough to take care
of the national highway itself and
that it should seek to do SO as rapidly
and as economically as possible. The
opinion was further expressed that
! it is only through such a policy that
a national system can be obtained
which, will not overburden the man
who lives near the road.
The letters written to the oranges
or this subject are simply prelimi-
nary to general consideration
! which will be given this subject at the
annual session of the National Grange.
to take place this year at Grand
Rapids, November 1921.
Prof. T. c. Atkeson is chairman of
| the national committee on highways
and will make a report on the nation
al situation at the meeting. This will
be followed by discussion and vote.
