One Good Friend.

We are the weakest OF spendthrifts
II we let one frlen' drop on through
lnstteniion. or let one push away an

mond because It pricked you? One
good friend Is not to be weighed

1920 ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
(E.lkhart ReView.)

When the present state highway Commission

IL confidently expected that the entire state
highway system OF approximately 5000 miles would
be completed in about eight years. The announce
Of the commission that it will be impossible
TO carry out the 1920 construction program throws
a coM chill on the plans for a good road system in
Indiana. Ii has been found that because of the
limited funds in sight through the failure of the
highway commission obtain full 1O-cent levy
this year the entire 1920 construction program viii
have 10 be abandoned.
This that there will be let
next year for the Improvement of additional sec
tions of the state system and that the commission

the 1873 miles that have already been awarded, and
with the OF maintaining the of the system
which will have to be taken over and designated
by April l. 1920.
The tentative plans the commission provided
for the construction Of about 400 miles i'm 1920.
Much of preparatory work for this construction
has been completed by the engineering staff OF the
commission, including the field work by surveying
parties This program LAID the assump-
ton that the commission would be granted the To-
cent levy provided by statute the valua-
tons The tax board. however, reduced the levy to
80 cents
1t is said that the lack of state funds may not
result in the loss of $1,000 900 Of federal revenue
available for Indiana road work. but that delay
may "a lass "A portion national
treasury money The more important feature Of the
enforced abandonment of the 1920 program Is that
IL will probably result in deferring the completion
the system several years At the present
OF construction il will take about 20 years
finish the job OF converting the state road into hard
surface highways.
The only financial relief in sight for the highway
commission is the prospect that some action might
be taken by the proposed special session OF the
general assembly Beginning with year the
highway commission will receive the fees collected
for automobile licenses IL has-been suggested that
the special session increase the license fees This
however would not give much relief. for IL is not
likely that any change the fees would be made

ON WITH THE DANCE!
These New Dances."-A RefOrmer.

And our forbears were but mere

And a savage. porcine appetite

All youths would get together in the

And, responding to a vaguely felt
romance,
Execute enhancing tangoes under

For the earliest urge Of nature

OUR FUTURE WATER SUPPLY.

AS long as South Bend has fit water supply at
the north pumping station. and the pumps dis
tribute it, question but that the city should be
supplied from that quarter. If enlargement of
water mains will enhance the supply dstribut-
ing force from that station. that too, becomes a
proper expenditure. The water main reaching
out to the south side. a cost, we understand of
100000. looks pretty big but if it is worth it, it is
worth It. If the time ever comes however which it
seems though it must when pumps and
more wells needed. another pumping station
in the western, southwestern part of the city
shodid have serious consideration.
South Bends first pumping station built in
1873 at the foot Of Washington We then had a
population of 10000.

is very improbable that the north station
equipment will care for South Bends water needs
beyond the 100000 mark, and very doubtful if it
can measure up to that
Accordingly we suggest that it is fitting that in
any city planning program that the city may
dertake. investigations should be made of the
supply in the western part of the city where it is
asserted that there is a plenty from depth all the
way from five to 500 feet which can be pumped
