 Had Been Missing Something
 . One of Sir Thomas Lipton's favorite stories concerns an old Scotchman who went to horserace for the first time and was induced to stake a sixpence in the third race on a 40-to-1 shot. By some miracle the horse won, and when the boolsnaker handed the old man his winnings he could hardly be- ieve his eyes. .~>. -.,
 "Dae ye mean to tell me I get all this for ma sixpence? ? he. exclaimed.
 "You do," replied the bookmaker.

Some Development By
 Mines at Copper Hill

At the Superior & Boston develop ment work in the way of crosscuts and drifts, is being done on the 400, 600 and 800. On the 400-levef raise is being driven to connect with the Limestone shaft, "downcast" for ventilation purposes, through the Nc Graw shaft, and "upeast." On the 600-level on the Rigby ledge, body of high grade silver ore was found, and blocked up to four hundred.
 On the asbestos claims of this con- ,pany, recently located about one hun dred yards northerly from the" Me Graw shaft, an incline shaft is being sunk on fair grade of asbestos, lying between lime and diabase..
 At the Arizona Commercial most of the work is being done on the tenth level, by contract. A raise is being driven from the 400-level to the surface. ,~.r'~- -.
 At the Iron Cap only pumpmen and watchmen are employed.
 In the Old Dominion development work is being done on the twentieth level.-Globe Record.

partments, the states themselves sup plying a. like amount. Additional sums of $5,000,00O and $1O,O00,O0O respectively are provided for the same periods for the construction and maintenance of roads wholly or part ly within forest reservations. The measure also provides that such work shall be undertaken at the direction of the federal commission, which is also empowered to cooperate with the Indian service in similar work within the Indian reservations. r
 States are required to meet federal funds as state units instead of being allowed to pass their apportionment on to the counties, thus draining the latter of their resources as in the past. Coincidentally, county funds are released for use in the construc- tion of farm-to-market roads of les ser importance, while the nation and states are permitted to use their funds for the main. market highways. .. "A new formula is introduced in the case of those states having. more than per cent of their total area in unappropriated public lands, those states being no longer required to meet federal funds on a fifty-fifty basis although. the ratio and amount of federal funds appropriated to such states remains unchanged.
 "In drawing his measure, Senator Townsend had before him President Harding's message to congress, and, accordingly, the bill contains all the recommendations of the chief execu- tive. Because of this fact and be cause of Senator Townsend's position, the bill is therefore considered an -ad- ministration measure. .
 'This statement is particularly true of the sections relating to mainten- ance, where drastic provisions have been written in, requiring the states to insure government expenditures

NEW HIGHWAY BILL
 PROPOSES FEDERAL ROAD COMMISSION

The concentration of federal funds upon highways of interstate impor- tance, the creation of a federal high way commission to supersede the present bureau plan, and the inclu- sion of drastic provision for the main tenance of roads are the chief features in the highway measure which has been introduced inthe United States senate by Charles E. Townsend, chair man of the senate committee on post offices and postroads. The following examination of the measure, which is of particular importance to Arizona, has been received by the chamber of commerce from the American Auto mobile association, Washington, D. C.: r Concentration of federal funds up- on highways of interstate importance, creation of a federal highway commits sion to supersede the present bureau plan and otherwise unify the govern ment highway agencies, and drastic provisions for adequate maintenance, are chief points in the highway bill introduced by Senator Charles E.. Townsend, chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads. The measure will be called up for hearing in the near future.
 "The bill provides for an appropria- tion of $200,000,000 with $1OO,000, ,000 for the year from July, 1921, to July, 1922, and the same amount for the succeeding twelve-month period, to be expended on main highways in CO., operation with the state highways de-

He was a professional conjurer. "Now, ladies and gentlemen" he said, with wave of the hand, :"this is the magic cabinet. I invite any lady in the audience to enter this cabinet. I will then close the door, and when it shall be opened again the lady will have disappeared, leaving no trace"

Mans Cruelty

Along the country road walked a man and woman. The latter was bullying the meek little fellow who trudged in front of her with downcast head. Suddenly the woman saw a bull racing down the road behind them. She took refuge in the hedge, but her companion kept on, uncon- scious of aught but his woes. The bull caught him up and sent him spinning into a muddy ditch. Then it continued on its wild career. As the woe-begone figure crawled out of the mire he saw his better half com ing toward him. Plucking up little courage, he whimpered: "M-M-Maria, if you hit me like that a-a-a-again, you'll really get my temper up, so I warn v-Boston Globe.

Too Personal

The sweet young thing had been unable to buy the article she wanted, but in each case the clerk had as- sured her that "next time" it would assuredly be in stock. One day she called at the store to find a new clerk on the job. "Do you have spats .yet?" she inquired. The clerk blushed. "No, ma'am," he stammered; "I'm not living with my wife now."-Minne- apolis Journal. 4

FOR BETTER

THE following resolution passed at
the recent state meeting of Missouri
Bankers in st. Louis, contains the
meat of the road question in Missouri
and should have the unqualified en-
dorsement of every thinking citizen of
the state. The resolution follows:
AThe citizens Of Missouri on Nov
ernebr 3, 1920, Endorsed amendment
No. 6; as a result of the passage of
this amendment, there is made avail
abel for Missouri a fund Of 100000
900; there will be available to this
state, during the next ten years,a reas
onably anticipated fund of approx
imately $4,000, 900 from the Federal
Government. There has already been
set aside by the counties of the state
approximately $15,OOO,OO0 for state
highways.
The federal road aid act provides
that federal money can only be spent
upon a connected system of highways.
We therefore recommend that the
money be so spent on such system ex-
tending to and through the state, I'M
der state supervision and control, and
in such a way as to insure the full par
ticipation of Missouri in the anticipated
federal aid.
This organization requests the
members Of the Legislature and the
Governor to extend every influence
for the purpose of enacting such leg
islation as will guarantee the expen-
sditure Of this money in the name set
sout, and that such legislation be en-
acted as will ~guarante to the state
full share in the benefits to be derived
from a connected state wide road sys'
tenn and full participation in fedora
aid.
Eve further recommend that Con
gress enact to continue to provide fed
eral aid for the construction of state
highways"
Mexico weekly ledger., 1921-05-26

THE approaching membership drive
of the Audrain Chamber of Commerce
should have the active interest and
support of every citizen of Mexico.
The present Chamber of Commerce is
the best organized and the most ac-
tive Mexico has ever had and the
spirit behind the body is the best. A
live, progressive Chamber of Com
merce at this time can do more for
Mexico than at any time in the city's
history. If you r not a member be
prepared to join and do your part in
tie development of Mexico and Aud
rain county.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1921-05-26

THERE never was a more oppor-
tune time in the history of Mexico to
organize a band than today. Both the
grade schools of the city have splendid
orchestras and the boys in each Of
these have not only shown talent but
much interest. With the proper dir
ection a Boys Band of good proper
tions and satisfactory ability could be
organized. Mexico would be assured
of band concerts during the summer,
band music for every public occasion
without the heavy extra expense Of
importing music, and the young boys
of the city be given a training that
would he Of benefit to them as well al
the community. We trust the Cham
Der Of Comerce can arrange for !
director and that q Boys Band will b,
organized.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1921-05-26

THE spirit of cooperation shown
the Audrain Chamber of Commerce by
the management of the Missouri Mill
tary Academy and its cadets is most
gratifying and pleasing. Thursday
night the cadet band was loaned the
Chamber of Commerce to serenade the
Cedar Grove Farm Club contest win
ners. It is such interest in commun-
ity activities that draws the city and
the school closer and inspires a deep
interet in the welfare Of the institu-
ton on the part of every progressive
citizen of Mexico.
