NATIONAL PARK
 TO-PARK HIGHWAY

Motorists and good road makers , There's something synonymous in 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 a dozen transcontinental trails leading to it from the east, south and middle west, he win men tally describe a master scenic key to the peoples playground in Amer ica.
 That's what 15O delegates from II western states did in the first annual convention of the National Park-to- Park Highway Association, recently, in Denver. They shaped the scenic passkey to fit the arboreal lock which the National Park service and the American Automobile Asso- citation, in Washington, have fash toned in order to release millions of workers from everyday cares for a journey to their own national park playgounds.
 Congress will be sked this winter to turn the mgic key by appropria- ting funds for the permanent im- provemet of this 5000 mile motor way, which depends upon the many transcontineEtal and other highways 2 for stimulation and seeks harmonious cooperation for coordinate develop ment of good roads generally.
 The master highway of America, when hard surfaced, will represent an outlay of about $100,O0O,OOo. John Barton Payne, secretary of the De- pertinent of the Interior, and Steph- en T. Mather, director of national parks; A. G. Batchelder, chairman of the executive board, and Col. A. L.. Westgard, pathfinder for the Ameri- can Automobile Association, have pledged themselves to hold fast the recreational, agricultural and indus trial wonder-lock which a united west has resolved to fit with a mas ter scenic-key consisting of primary roads and highways The depart ments of war and agriculture are be- ing urged to assist in this nation wide undertaking.
 Any one of the twelve or thirteen transcontinental highways is the stem for this scenic-key loop, which traverses Colorado. Wyoming, Mon tana, Idaho. Washington, Oregon California, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and embraces Nevada, in con. meeting Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, Glacier, Crater, Lassen, Yosemite, Grant, Sequoia Zion, Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde national parks

LADIES GUILD HOLDS
 INTERESTING SESSION

The Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church held a meeting Wednesday afternoon at the Girls Friendly Hall. Rev. Harry Gray was present and was full of enthusiasm and plans for future work. He suggested that the members of the church and Guild take steps to form an organized mis- sion, which would then come under the jurisdiction of the dioceSe-ways and means of placing the mission on a financial footing were discussed, and it was proposed that a social meeting be held Wednesday evening. December 18th, at 8 o'clock at the Friendly hall to discuss the plans outlined by Mir. Gray. It is earnest ly hoped that all who are interested in the welfare of the little mission church will attend the meeting and meet Mir. Gray. Mr. Gray has had many years of experience in found ing and helping out struggling mis- sions on the frontiers, and under stands the problems and discourage ments that always attend such mis- sions in the beginning. He thinks there is a very good field here, so let us all aid and encourage him by going to the meeting and hearing his plans and suggestions, and have a good social time.

It is interesting to recall the de- velopment of the confidence now felt in the Holbrook. Oil field. From the inception of interest, or, we may say, operations. certain percentage of natural skeptics voiced their pes simistic walls to the winds of the night, or, if they could get really interested listener, proceeded to use all of the old exploded theories why not" that have been used over and over again wherever pioneer work in the development of an oil field was necessary-in Wyoming, as an illustration. Very few ever be- lieved Montana had an oil deposit, and the early history of the Texas fields carried the same burden-the natural pessimist.
 Gradually the number dwindled, fide; or as one after the other com petent geologist endorsed the field. Then as development actually be- came assured the 'pessimist' be came a bird o1 i'll omen or an un- welcome guest, until today it is diff ficult to find one in the district who is not firm believer in the ulti- mate production of the field. Pro- duction is taken for granted, and the question in the minds of those who follow the game is merely, when?
 It is true that exaggerated state ments concerning the field have been made time and again, but for the most part they have originated in the minds of the sharks who had something to sell and whose wares would peddle more readily on the strength of roseate conditions in the Holbrook field.
 The News oft repeated its slogan, ''The truth is good enough" and to this we will subscribe. Stripped of all fantastic embellishments, a state ment of conditions in the field forms a sound basis for the confi- dence that is felt by the operators, land holders and stockholders inter ested in the Holbrook field.
 With the Holbrook company well going down and at present below the 2OOO foot mark; the Adamana below the same depth; the Zuni pounding away and making excellent pro- gress: the Black Canyon with it's showing of depth; the actual gas showings that have been made and the frequent tests of drillings for oil which have disclosed consider able amount of the much sought for liquid; with the endorsement of the most prominent geologists and the advent of large capital on the ad- vice of their own representatives who have made thorough investiga- tions-we have a right to feel op- timistic and hopeful for tlhe future we so thoroughly believe awaits Holbrook and the Holbrook field.

You Wouldn't Try
To Tame a Wildcat
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against Use OF
Treacherous, Dangerous
Calomel.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When ca1ome1 comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is harmless vegetable susbti-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-(adv.)

GEORGIA MONEY BOX
MUST BE REFILLED
Lawmakers Prone to Make Appropria-
tons, Find Expenditures Must Be
Kept Within States Income

Atlanta.-Georgia lawmakers, who
opened their annual session yesterday
and got down to business TODAY
have found that the most vitality Sc
rlous business confronting them is
the states finances. They are now
engaged in the big task of irving to
put their house in order"
II IS plain as the nose on ones face
tnat the appropriations must be kept
within the states income otherwise
the income must be increased by rails
ing the tax rate. Legislatures have
been over appropriating for years.
Governor John M. Slaton, during
his one term fought SO hard to keep
appropriations within the anticipated
r:Venue, that when final summing
was made. it was discovered that he
mad kept the appropriations so firmly
III hand that levy of four and one
malt mills would cover all of them
and the levy was made accordingly.
he lett the governors office with the
tax rate at that figure-but it has fail
ed to stay there. AS it is now, the
levy is full five mills, and the revenue
does not nearly meet the appropria-
tons.
1t is true, as pointed out by law
makers, the governor has the right
to veto searate items in the general
appropriation bills,-a law inherited
from the Confederate constitution. But
it is not fair and square and states
manlike, as has also been pointed out,
to pass the buck" that way to the
executive.
The house appropriations commit
tee, of Which George Carswell of Will
kerson county is chairman, has made
the first move toward obtaining mon
ev with which to pay the expenses
of the 1920 legislature. Mr.. Carswell
said he would introduce simple am
endment to the law creating the state
motor vehicle department that would
enable the state to use some of the
money now in the treasury to the-cred
it of this department for general pur-
poses. He said it would mean that
some OF this money, which he said is
lying idle in the Atlanta banks, could
be borrowed without interest to tide
over the period of stress until the
revenues OF the state began to come
in during the fall
The financial tstringencyt of the
sctate OF Georgia should be one of the
first matters to claim your attention"
said Speaker John M. Holder in dis
cussing before the house uehtseq
cusslng before the house the question
that will confront the legislature at the
present session. However, l do not
believe that any additional tax burned
should be placed upon the property al
ready on the tax books. Neither
should we increase the tax rate. Ad-
d1tional revenues should be raised by
discovering and placing upon the tax
books the huge amount of intangi-
Bile property that is never returned for
taxation. One of the great tasks of
this session should be to frame leg;s-
lation which will uncover this intan-
g16le property and subject it to tax
alton"
Mr.. Holders views on the taxation
problem were greeted with loud and
long applause. He concluded his brief
address with a plea for the great in
stltutlons of the state.
