The voter who compares these startl- ing figures with the honeyed campaign pledges of Governor Campbell cannot fail to draw his own conclusions as to how much faith he can put in the pre- sent executives promises Dunbar Weekly.

Voters Take Notice


 Arizona, rated as one of the won ders of the world, is located on the National Old Trails highway, which is being improved by the Arizona State Highway depart ment as an important part of the s-ale highway system
 The old road through the forest was thcpoorest between Eol5rook and St. Johns when the present administration took office Tn cordarce with tie Iol cy of the hi rhway department totackle the most difficult undertakings first, tire state for some time had under consideration the improvement of this road, and under former ad- ministration federal aid had been secured for improving the old road
 Last year a new survey was rua under the direction of I'd. Wolfe, division engineer with the highway department, which re- duced the length through the forest and eliminated a number of curves and grades on the old location.
 This road has now been graded culverted and cement concrete lords installed by John Hurley, who secured the contract, and to Morgan and Udall sub-contrac- tors. Recently a contract was let for the surfacing with the aim of having the work completed by the first of the year. Even with out the surfacing, traffic has given it the preference over the old road.
 The impl ovement is being fin. anced out of Navajo county's portion of the state .75 per cent road tax fund assisted by federal aid.
 Apache county, which adjoins Navajo on the east recently voted $50, 1000 bonds all of which will be spent on the improvement of the Old Trails route. The roads in Apache county are considered the best dirt roads in the state, due. it is said to the use of the Iowlv drag. Most of the popula- tion of the county is ccntered around St. Johns and Springer vile over 60 miles from the rail- road and the highway in question affords the only artery of com merce with the rest of the state.
 The state highway department is now preparing plans and spe- cifcations to cover a $500, 900 pro- ject in Apache county. The route will be from Holbrook east to Hunt. Concho, St. Johns, Springerville and thence to the New Mexico line toward Soccoro, New Mexico. At Springerville this main highway will connect with north and south line now being built by the forest service between Clifton and Springer vile.
 It is also planned to construct an improved highway between Holbrook and the state line near Gallup. New Mexico, connecting at that point with the highway which New Mexico has under con- sideration between Albuquerque and Gallup. This highway is badly reeded as a connection with the Old Trails highway,
 No county funds are available for the construction of the Hol- brook-Gallup line, but this sur vey was made at the request of good roads boosters of northern |

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, June 26.--The cotton market today during the great part of the session was a regulation week end affair, with traders more inclined to even up than to take on new busi- ness. There was much covering of the short interest, especially in July. July was sustained at all times by the favorable outcome of first notices of yesterday. Around the opening and around the close the new crop months were moderately depressed by good weather. The market closed net 21 points higher to 15 points lower.
 The weather map was considered very favorable while the forecast call ed for little change. The receipts here of the first bale of the new crop Ia week earlier than last years first bale, attracted some comment. Ii came from Edinburg, Tex, and was sold at auction at the cotton exchange for thousand dollers.

Texas Paper Pays
 Tribute To The
 Late Jake Austin

The Brownwood, Tex, Bulletin has the following interesting sketch of Jake Austin, who died there recently. MT. Austin was a pioneer citizen of Piue Bluff and brother of the late M. A. Austin.
 The Bulletin says:
 Jacob Astor Austin was native of Stanley county, N C., where he was born April 1, 1852. A year or two after the civil war when MT, Austin was still boy his parents moved to Arkansas, settling at Pine Bluff where they remained until the death of the senior Austin in 1897. MT. Austin's only brother, M. A. Austin, died at Pine Bluff in 1912.
 "Mr. Austin's business career be- gan when he was IA years old, fol lowing two years of training in pri- vate schools near Pine Bluff. He began as clerk in a mercantile es- tablishment but by the time he was 21 he had saved enough money to establish himself in the mercantile business there. In this he was emi- nently successful. He remained at Pine Bluff until 1884 when he remov- ed to Texas establishing the first bank at Goldthwaite. In 1892 he went to Brownwood and became cash fer of a bank there. He then became interested in the mill and grain busi- ness, becoming one of the largest mill operators in the south and one of the foremost public spirited citizens of Texas. MT. Austin married in 1879 Miss Emma Holmes of Pine Bluff who survives him."
 MT. Austin had an unbounded inter- est in educational and religious af- fairs, the paper goes on to say, and did much for both.

RAJ LIES IN COTTON ARE ATTRIBUTED TO
 HOLIDAY COVERING

New York, June 26.-There were rallies in the cotton market today which local brokers attributed largely to covering for over the week end after recent more or less general sell ing. October closed at 33.O3 with the general list closing net unchanged to IT points higher.
 The market opened steady at de- cline owing to favorable weather re- ports and continued unfavorable trade advices. The latter included Man. chester cables reporting that stagna- tion of trade was even more pro- nounced during the past week with more buyers wanting to cancel orders and with manufacturers engagements running down rather rapidly. The smalL business report in domestic goods markets also was factor but the firmer technical position of the market asserted itself and turned steadier.
 July was relatively firm, a fact which had a sympathetic influence on the later months, but there was still good deal of bearish talk around the ring and the rally met scattered offerings.
 A New Orleans authority places the condition of the crop at 70, compared with s6.5 last year, the figure being nearly enough in line with reports publised earlier in the week to create no fresh sentiment. The amount o1 cotton on shipboard awaiting clear ance was 112,676 bales against 194, 10: last year. [

Portugal No Worse
 Now Than Other
 Nations of Europe

Lisbon, Portugal. June 26.--Portu- gal, in spite of all the lurid reports spread abroad by interested parties, is at the present moment of social and economical troubles no worse off than other countries which par ticipated in the great war.
 When one drives through Lisbon and her suburbs on Sunday and watches the happy crowds holiday making after the weeks work, the impression gained is that it would be difficult to find in any country such q contented light hearted people as the Portugese. Uuless some means of conveyance be previously engeg- ] cd walking is the only method of i locomotion available on that day, for trains, motorcars, carriages, carts, and omnibuses are all hired or seats booked in advance. Even the street cars are filled to overflowing by workmen and their families on the way to the outlying districts, smil- ingly bearing with them their pie nic baskets.
 | The leafy avenues just outside the city are filled with people afoot, sing 1 ing popular songs from the latest re. vues or exchanging merry jests with the people in eonveyances.
 | Outside and inside the railroad stations, from early morning, arc filled with people of the more. veal thy, working and professional class ,es, trying to obtain accommodations for a trip either to Cintra, Cacaes or the Estroil, the beautiful Riviera of Portugal.
 It is true that besides all this mer- ry- making there is social unrest in Portugal. Strikes are frequent but generally peaceable; there is an oc- casional bomb and sometimes street riot, but Bolshevik revolution there is none. When three bombs were thrown recently into the ranks of a popular demonstration of gratitude to the government for taking meas ures to lower the prices of foodstuffs, most of the demonstrators carried on as though nothing had happened. The bomb-throwers were arrested. That was all. Amusements went on as usual.

Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These

There's no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles. as Othine double strength is guar anteed to remove these homely spots.
 Simply get an ounce of Othine- double strength-from any druggist and apply little of it night and morning and you should soon see that even the worst freckles have begun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to com- pletely clear the skin and gain a beautiful clear complexion.

Open Shop Fight
 Is On At Quincy

Quincy, H., June 22. The open shop struggle IS now we'll under way in Quincy.
 The announcement of the Quincy American Open Shop has been follow ed by the appointment of committee by the Trades and Labor Assembly of the city to resist the open shop move ment.
 Quincy is a strongly organized la Dor city, the assembly counting q membership of over 4,000 and embrac- ing even the fire department. The labor committee has succeeded thus far in securing the withdrawal of several of the original signers of the open shep agreement. On the other hand, the open shop association re- ports the recruiting of some 90 names in addition to the original list and these, 1t is said, more than offset defections.
 Retail houses thus far have been slow to endorse the plan. owing to the large number of union men.
