their consideration for the admirer of the great outdoors.
 If the automobile tourist will draw a rough circle on a coast-to-coast map through the westerly third of the United States, and consider any one of dozen transcontinetal trails lead ing to it from the east, south and mid dle west, he will mentally describe a master scenic-key to the peoples playgrounds in America.
 That's what 150 delegates from eleven western states did in the first annual convention of the National Park -to-Park Highway association, recently, in Denver. They shaped the scenic pass-key to fit the arboreal lock which the National Park service and the American Automobile association, in Washington, have fashioned in or der to release millions of workers from everyday cares for journey to their own national -playgrounds.
 Congress will be asked this winter to turn the magic scenic-key by ap- propriating funds for the permanent improvement of this 6,000-mile motor way, which depends upon the many transcontinental and other highways for stimulation and seeks harmonious cooperation for coordinate develop ment of good roads generally.
 The "Master Highway of America" when ard-surfaced, will represent an outlay of about $100,000,000. John Barton Payne, secretary of the de- partment of the interior, and Stephen T. Mather, director of national parks; A. c. Datchelder, chairman of the ex- ecutive board and Col. A. l.. Westgard, pathfinder for the American Automo- bile association, have pledged them- selves to hold fast the recreational, agricultural and industrial wonder lock key consisting of primary roads and improved highways. The depart ments of war and agriculture are be- ing urged to assist in this nationwide undertaking.
 Any one of the twelve or thirteen transcontinental highways is the stem for this scenic-key loop, which trav- erses Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Califor- mia, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and embraces Nevada, in connecting Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, Glacier, Rainier, Crater, Lassen, Yosemite, Grant, Sequoia, Zion, Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde national parks.

LIQUOR TO BE AN ISSUE
Prohibitionists Joining Forces To
Back Only Those Who are Known
To BE Dry.

The Anti-Saloon league, as a
starter in it's blacklist of candidates,
led off with opposition to Tom Tag
CART of Indiana, Democratic nominee
for United States senator against
Senator James r. Watson.
"In Indiana said Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
league, Senator James e. Watson is
being opposed by Tom Taggart, a
wet Democrat. The dry forces will
urge temperance people to vote for
Senator Watson because of his sup
port of the federal prohibition code"
Action in Illinois and most Of the
other states of the midwest are not
touched on at this time, but will be
later.
The statement by Wayne Wheeler
counsel for the league, favors voting
for dry Democrats and dry Republi-
cans and not for Prohibitionists in
conditions that a vote for such a
candidate who has no chance to win
is casting one-half a vote for the
liquor interests"
Some of the outstanding fights, Z"
says the dry statement, "for the cleo
ton of present congressman against
wet candidates is as follows:
"Mr. Nicely Of the first district in
West Virginia opposed by wet Re-
publican, and Judge Bowers in the
second district in West Virginia OPP
posed by wet Democrat.
"In Indiana the present congress
man, Luring of the first district, and
Dunbar of the third and Benham of
the fourth are opposed by wet candi-
dates.
"In Pennsylvania in the twentieth
district Mr.. Brooks, wet Republi-
can, is opposed by Mr.. Hawkins. a
dry Democrat Mr.. Porter, wet
Republican, is being opposed by Mr..
Shafer, a dry Democrat. In the
twenty-fifth district both Republi-
can and Democratic candidates are
wet, and the present congressman,
Mr.. Shreve, dry Republican, is
backed by Prohibitionists on an in
dependent and Prohibition party
ticket.
"In Ohio Congressman Ricketts, of
the ELEVENTH district and Congress
man Thompson of the fifth district
are being opposed by wet Democrats,
Underwood and Bronson.
I'm Maryland Zillman of the sixth
district and Andrews of the first dis
trict by wet opponents"

MINERS AGREE TO WORK
Meeting In Des Moines Brings
Favorable Results After
Hard Fight.

Iowa miners will accept the wage
contract agreed to by the joint scale
committee.
This can be predicted with the ut
most certainty now, inasmuch as
enough votes are already pledged
to assure passage of the measure
almost without opposition. The few
votes that will be cast against IL
will be presented by delegates hav-
ing positive, irrevocable instructions
from the men they represent.
Although a second vote was not
taken Tuesday, it was not because
the officers were not convinced that
their stand would be ratified but be-
cause several of the delegates desir-
ed to speak and because waiting un-
til Wednesday for the final vote was
certain to mean a more sweeping
majority in favor of the contract.
John P. White representing the
international organization, was re-
sponsible to a large extent for the
change in sentiment following the
vote cast Tuesday afternoon. This
vote resulted in a defeat of the con-
tract 135 to 108. Up to that time
White had advised the delegates Ia
refuse the agreement on the grounds
that it might still be possible to get
more money for the tonnage la
borers.
Seeing that the sentiment was di-
vided, White later changed his stand,
realizing that any further advances
could be secured only il the men
were united and with him, the senti-
mani of tho dalagation changed
Throughout the two days meet
ing, it was primarily the fight of J
c. Lewis against tremendous odds
that the delegates watched. Lewis
had steadfastly urged ratification of
the contract, although at the begin
ming of the meeting, the men were
solidly against it. On the floor Of
the convention and in the small
rooms adjoining the larger hall
Lewis gradually won votes

WIFE PITIED HERSELF
After Much Consideration She Finds
She Still Loves Her
Husband.
By ELIZABETH DALE

Dear Miss Dale: l have read st.
many letters in your department
from unhappy, complaining wives,
and have wondered if my exper-
fence might not help them to see
things differently. II you think it
would benefit anyone please print
it, if not, let it feed the wastebasket.
When my husband and l were
married, we loved each other de-
votedly. But l soon found that he
staying out nights. Wouldn't do
what | asked him to around the
house, or take me where l wanted
to go, etc. So / spent my time in
self pity, a most unworthy occupa-
ton for anyone, until 1 felt that l
hated him, he was the wrong man.
we were mismated, and everything.
Many time / have said to my
self as he left the house, 81 wish
I'd never see him alive again"
| told my troubles to a distant
relative of the family. He sympa-
thized greatly with me, as they al
ways do, and before we realized it
we were in love with each other, or
thought we were.
For the next five years my life
was one long misery, longing for
one / could not have, and living
with one | thought | hated.
Then came the surprise of my life.
l had never thought of my husband
loving anyone but me. But he did
and asked for a divorce. / gave it,
and now came the great awakening
hn fr,a Of hn ~ thof
had cherished so long faded from
my mind and realized that it was
only the result of his sympathy that
had caused me to imagine myself in
love with him. Now came the REAL
suffering, was mentally and physi-
cally i'll, for weeks, saw how had
been much at fault, and greatly to
blame for the unhappiness in our
home. My husbands faults sank in
to. insignificance and l loved him as
1 never had before.
He lived with her two years,
found their love was not the kind
to stand the test, divorced her, and
came back to me. | do not believe
there is a happier couple on earth
today. / love and appreciate him
instead of finding fault, and he is a
much better man altho he still has
many faults. But with all his faults
/ love him still' and am sure I shall
as long as life lasts. I've had my
lesson.
I believe there Is many a miser-
able wife who has simply pitied her
self until she is sure she married
the wrong man, who, IL she had an
experience like mine would just feel
as / did.
oh, women, let us do right and
God will bless us with happiness.
A HAPPY WIFE.

Jackson Giddens-Winterset
RESULT STILL IN DOUBT

1t will be at least another week
before it is definitely known by
what plurality Len Small, Thompson
candidate for governor, carried Chi
cago, and whether that plurality is
large enough to wipe out the down
state plurality Of John G. Oglesby,
anti-Thompson candidate. This fact
became apparent Tuesday when the
second day of the official canvass of
the Chicago vote came to an end
with less than one-fifth of the city
precincts vote counted
The chief clerk of the board of
election commissioners has aban-
doned hope for an early completion
of the count. Official figures are
still unavailable for a single ward
in Chicago.
All figures so far given out by
watchers for the candidates are
worthless. The best figures made
public are those that arrive at ward
totals by adding the official count
on missing precincts" to the I'M
official returns from other precincts.
These are not much more valuable
than those available primary night.

FAIR WAS A
Big SUCCESS
LARGEST ATTENDANCE In THE
HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIA-
TION THIS YEAR.

The Audubon county fair for the
year 1920 has gone down in history
and will be marked as having been
the most successful, in point of at
tendance as well as from every
other viewpoint.
The weather was ideal and per-
mitted the exhibitors to bring in
their stock on Tuesday, so that ev-
erything was in readiness for the
big crowd that came on Wednesday.
The first day of the fair this year
had a larger crowd than any other
first day in the history of the as
ISOLATION. On Thursday the crowd
was larger in numbers but did not
bring in as much money on account
of the heavy sale of family tickets
the day before. Friday was also a
big day. 1t was the time for the
election of officers and this resulted
in the election of ID. w. Randolph,
president, Geo. A. Foley, vice presi-
dent, r. ID. Hawks, secretary, and
F. C. Sampson, treasurer. There was
but one ticket in the field.
The stock parade at one o'clock
Friday was perhaps the most mag
nificient of any parade ever held on
the ground, and represented a vast
amount of money. Shortly after the
parade f. T. Meredith, of Wash
ington, ID. c., made an address in
front of the grand stand. He came
to fill the place of Clyde Herring
democratic candidate for governor,
who was unable to get here. Mr..
Meredith's talk was well liked and
he was shown every courtesy pos
sible.
All of the officers of the associa-
ton and every committee worked
faithfully to make the exhibition the
grand success it deserved to be.
There is much praise due the presi-
dent, ID. w. Randolph and the re-
firing secretary, John Horning for
their untiring efforts.
The free attractions and fire
works were better than last year.
In fact there was but one weak at
traction and that was the two mu-
sicians. Their first program was
passable, but they repeated the
same thing twice each day and this
became somewhat monotonous.
The gate receipts this year
amounted to almost $4,000, and to
this must be added concession money
which makes the total receipts of the
fair practically $4,000. Receipts
for Wednesday totalled $4,169.35,
for Thursday $3332,95, and for FRI
day $689.55, to which must be add
ed the advance sale of family tick
cts which amounted to $50. The
total receipts last year amounted to
about $1,000, making a gain over
last year OF almost $4,000.

HoRNING RECEIVERS CAR.

A Ford touring car owned by Ar
thur Horning of Audubon, was re-
covered in Extra Monday morning af-
ter it had been missing since Friday
evening.
Herman Barnholdt, the Extra ele-
vator man, noticed the car standing
at the elevator Saturday afternoon,
but put no Importance on the fact.
Monday morning when he reached
the elevator he was surprised to see
the machine still in the same place.
He examined the registration card,
which bore Mr.. Mornings name, and
called him by phone. The latter
stated that he had been looking for
the car since Friday.
Who drove IL to Extra, and why 1t
was abandoned there is a mystery.
The car was taken late Friday eve
ming when Mr.. Horning and his wife
drove the car to the o. X. Purdy
property. While they were dancing
someone drove off with the car. Mr..
Horning says he is mighty glad to
get 1t back. Nothing in the car was
molested.

GIVEN A NEW DRESS

A gang of painters have been in
the city the past three days giving
the Northwestern depot inside and
outside a new coat of paint. The
old red barn paint has given way to
a new steel gray which adds much
to the appearance of things. Agent
Walters is glad to see the change as
we'll as the patrons of the road who
have seen the old color year after
year until they have gotten tired and
weary and welcome the change with
open arms.
