largely attended. Whether this was

other case every one present must

there was not only a delightful enter

utive commissioner Of the Be- Scouts
for the western states, but through
out the luncheon there were delightful
musical selections by the Boyd or

real joy. It is hoped that the weekly
meetings win continue to have the
large attendance that was on hand

THE STATE CONVENTION
HOW SELECT DELEGATES
COUNTY COMMITTEE MAY ACT
OR CALL A COUNTY CON-
VENTlON.

James II. Taylor, chairman Of tn,
republican central committee of Sho.
shone county, has received a letter
from John Thomas. state chairman
in which attention is called to the
manner Of selecting delegates to the
state convention which meets in
Occur dAlene on April % to select
eight delegates and eight alternates
to the republican national convention
which meets in Chicago on June 8. AT
the recent meeting Of the state COM
mittee a resolution was adopted which
provided two methods by which dele
gates to the state convention could be
selected. The first of these methods
authorizes the county central commit
tee to name the delegates and the
second authorizes the central com
mittee to provide for calling CON
vention to select them Explaining
the second method Chairman Thomas
says:
Under the latter provision take
it that the county central committees
would not only be acting IN accord
ance with the spirit but with the in
tent Of the state central committee if
they issued a call to the republicans
OF their counties to meet with the CEN
trail committee and participate in the
selection of delegates"
Chairman Is Wrong
1t appears to the Miner that Chair
man Thomas has misunderstanding
Of the intention of the state commit
tee. The first method is clear The
county committee is empowered to
name the delegates to the state con-
vention if it desires to assume that
authority. According to Chairman
Thomas understanding. the second
plan would be very much the same as
the first the only difference being .
that the committee would invite re-
pubhcans of the county to meet with /
it and participate i'm the selection of .
delegates. But this would not be a
convention within the meaning of the
word as used by the state committee
A convention Of the republicans of
the county would be made up of dele
gates elected in the various precincts
and would be held wholly independent
of the county central committee In
authorizing the county committee to
call a convention. the state commit
tee certainly did not contemplate an
informal gathering Of republicans
with the county committee upon in
Such a gathering would not
he convention. and in fact such
plan would not be materially different
from the first plan authorized by the
state committee.
In order to avoid any criticism, the
county committee should call a con
vention to select delegates to the state
the various precincts
electng their representatives by eau
Gus or primary election

CONTINUE FEDERAL AID
FOR ROAD BUILDING
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
POINTS OUT DANGER-cO-
OPERATION URGED.

w. j. Hail. commissioner Of public
works, has authorized the publication
of a monthly bulletin showing the
status of road construction through
out the state, to create "a public in
terest in highway construction and to
provide medium for the exchange Of
ideas in the matter of road building
and maintenance. To this end the CO.
operation of all those engaged in road
work is desired. They are urged to
send in road news telling what they
are doing and how they are doing it
i'm order that the other fellow may
have the benefit of their experience.
The first bulletin was issued under
date of March 1 and deals only with
work under the direction of the bu-
reau Of highways. Most of this is in
cooperation with the federal govern
ment and the department expresses
the hope that this joint work will con-
tinue but adds that there is grave
danger of all federal aid appropria-
tons being killed in congress unless
the friends of better highways get
busy AS further indicating the dan
ger that threatens road construction
in the western states, the bulletin has
this comment:
Must Urge Federal Aid Act.
The Townsend bill, providing for a
system of national highways under
the control of national board to be
created al Washington. has reappear-
ed once more. Ii has been slightly
amended but still retains its worst
features. If this bill passes. it means
the end of all federal appropriations
on June 80. 1921
AT present the federal government
is nearly $4,000, 600 short of sufficient
funds to cooperate with the state,
county and highways districts on the
59-5G basis contemplated in the fed
eral aid act and congress must be
urged to care for this deficiency, and
then to provide funds for future fed
eral aid to continue the program
which the western states have under
taken.
Congress has adopted a slogan of
rigorous retrenchment.' but economy.
necessary as it is, must not be allow

your hearty cooperation in saving the

iinuing the work which Idaho has

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.-Richard Searles, success
full American playwright, conf1des to his
friend, Bob Singleton, the fact that, in
spired by the genius of young actress
whom he had seen in London, he has
written a play, Lady Larkspur," solely
with the thought that she should interpret
the leading character. This girl, Violet
DeWing, has disappeared and Searles re-
fuses to allow the play to be produced
with anyone else in the part. Singleton
has just returned GnvalideO from France,
where he had been serving in the aviation
corps His uncle, Raymond Bashford,
a wealthy man, had contracted a mar
riage a short time before his death, while
on a visit to Japan. He left Singleton
comparatively small amount OF money
and the privilege of residence in the
garage" of his summer home, Barton-on-
the-Sound, Connecticut. Mrs. Bashford is
believed to be travelling in the Orient. The
household at Barton is made up OF elderly
employees of the birmingham, a New York
hotel where Bashford made his home. By
the terms of his will these people are to
have a home at Barton for the rest or
their lives. Singleton goes to Barton, talk
ing with him the manuscript of Lady
Larkspur" There he finds the household
strangely upset, some of its members be-
ing suspected by their comrades OF pro-
GermaniSm. Antoine, head of the eStab-
lishment, informs him that he has been
perpleXed by the somewhat mysterious
visits of a stranger, apparently Ior-
egner seeking Mrs. BashfOrd. Antoine
household into guard for the protection
of the premises. Terrence, high Official or
the trust company handling Bashford's
estate, informs Singleton that Mrs Bash
ford is in America and may be expected
at Barton at any time.
CHAPTER II.-Singleton reads Searles'
play and thinks highly of it. In his tenn
porary absence Mrs. Bashford and
female companion arrive. Next day Sin
gleton meets his aunt and is astonished at
finding her a young and decidedly attrac-
tive person about his own age. At lunch
con he meets Mrs. Bashford's companion,
a Mrs. Farnsworth. They are somewhat
unconventional, but highly agreeable COM
panions. Mrs. Bashford and Singleton
agree to call each other Alice" and
Bob Informed of the visits of the for
eigner which had so disturbed Antoine,
the two ladies seem to be much amused.
Terrence, on business visit to Barton,
informs Singleton that he has doubts Of
alice being Mr.. Bashford's widow. SIN
gleton laughs at him, but Terrence re-
mains unconvinced, finally telling his
friend that an official of the state depart
ment, Raynor, has been making inquiries
about the two women.
