BILL TO
 BE REINTRODUCED

Representative Carl Hayden, of Ari- zona, announces that Senator Town send, chairman of the senate commit tee on post offices and post roads, in tends to reintroduce his bill to estab- fish national highway system, and to create a federal highway commission, during the present regular session of the sixty-sixth congress, with amend ments and changes.
 It is the opinion of Representative Hayden that federal aid could not be secured for use in the construction of the Bankhead national highway with out the passage of the Townsend bill.
 To Enlarge Powers.
 Taking up it's provisions in more de- tail, the purpose of the Townsend bill is to enlarge and concentrate the ad- ministrative powers of the government in it's relation to road building. It pro- poses to do this by creating a special body having exclusive charge of the administration of federal highway af- fairs. And finally it proposes to con centrate the enlarged power by laying out certain definite policy of high way construction and setting the new ly created power to the accomplish ment of that task.
 A total of $425, ,OOO, ,OOO is to be ap- propriated to build the national sys- tenn of highways. Fifty million dollars becomes available immediately upon the passage of the bill, 5000 900 for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1920, and $100,000, ,000 for each of the three succeeding fiscal years.

 "A haddock. A haddock. A black spotted haddock, black spot on the black back of the black-spotted had dock"
 And this is the one that made Francis Crable's voice so flexible:
 "She sells sea shells"
 While c. B. Wilson staked his hopes of fluency on:
 "She stood at the door of Mir. Smiths fish-sauce shop, welcoming him in."
 F. M. Gold reports that out in Kan sas the law professors insisted on this, three hours every day:
 "The sea ceaseth and it sufficeth us."
 Judge Fred w. Perkins, however, asserts that none of the foregoing are half as effective as this:
 "Six thick thistle sticks"
 It is required, if one is to get the full benefit of any of the above, that he practice it only with appropriate gestures and standing in front of mirror.

c. B. Perry, of Hurricane, Utah, re- ports that he and others have matters under way for the building of dam, ten miles southeast of that town anG four miles south of the Arizona bor- der, for the purpose of impounding flood waters with which to bring un- der cultivation about 5000 acres of fertile lands. As soon as spring opens eighteen families will take up their residences upon the lands and estab- fish a nice little community. The work has been laid out, cement pur- chased and hauled to the site and ev- erything arranged for the work on the dam. This work will be carried on during the winter with the object of impounding all the water possible from the snowfall during the next few months. The country in which the new community will have it's habitat is one of the best parts of Mohave county for farming and the little com- munity has the best wishes of the peo- pie here for their sucess.-Kingman Miner.

Dad Powers says things were lot different when he was boy back in Michigan. He enumerates some of the points of difference:
 Eggs then sold for six cents a dozen. When the hen got too old to lay any longer she brought five cents a pound, while her good husband, re- gardless of size or growing qualities, brought Is cents.
 "A dish of mush and milk was then considered good enough for preach CTS supper.
 "In those days our pops used, most of them, to have family prayers every night.
 "And the boys greased their boots on Thursday nights.
 "And boneset tea received its just consideration.
 "They used to have log-rolling every spring when l was kid.
 And the youngsters went to Sum- day school as regularly as they went to bed.

Bill Hicklin, undershirt, or under sheriff, or something like that, who can always be depended on when we are dry to loosen up with good yarn, says he was in court somewhere once attending a suit in which the de- fendant was very colored man. The jury was being drawn. The first of the venire to be examined was an Irishman, and the attorney for the state asked him if he was related by blood or marriage to the defendant.
 Several of the other prospective jurymen laughed, and the Irishman knocked the lawyer down.

The Smoky Hill is on its usual
rampage Swollen by the rains In
western Kansas, it reached at . p. m.
stage Of 21.3 feet, standing stat
ionary since 0 a. m. The highest
stage reached in 1915 was 21.1 feet
The water is six inches deep over
the Buckeye road north of the bridge
and is over the road at the Baker
bridge. Thousands Of acres of wheat
between Abilene and Solomon are
flooded and east of Abilene the river
is backing over the wheat on the
low bottoms. Indications are that
the damdge will be greater than in
1915 because of the higher stage and
the great wheat fields along the
stream.
