pleasure they noted it was over-sub-
scribed by $14,500. The bonds which
were bid by our public spirited citi-
zens and two banks amounted to $79,-
500, and the beauty of it, all were
taken right here at home. There is
chance for parties to acquire bonds if
they so desire for the reason that the
banks are willing for individuals to
hold them despite the fact they put in
their bids for all they could get. Yes

OPEN BIDS TODAY FOR LAST
GAPS IN NEW STATE HIGHWAY
ROAD THRU SMYRNA FROM BEL
MONT TO ARMSTRONG'S CORNER
All Contracts Show a Strengthening
of Road and the Eliminating of
Danger Curves.-PrOgress

Much interest is attached to the
meeting of the State Highway Com
mission at Dover to-day when bids
will be opened for the construction of
all uncontrolled for links in the State
highway from the Pennsylvania to the
Maryland line, including the eastern
and western routes southwark from
Dover. The sections for which bids
will be open today are:
Smyrna-Armstrong Corner road 3.41 miles.
Drawers Creek-St. Georges road. 4.91 miles.
Road through Magnolia, LII miles.
Odessa-Drawyers Creek, 1.64 miles.
Pile Bridge at Drawers Greek.
Haven Greek Crossing 391 miles.
Frederick Approaches. .623 miles.
North Of Bridgeville 80 miles.
Worth Steel plant. overhead bridge 20 miles.
Coopers' Corner-Hayes' Hill. .64S miles.
When the new highway is finished
and the greater part of it will be
by fall-there will be few curves in
the roadway between Wilmington and
Smyrna The survey has been made
as straight as possible. Of course,
some curves could not be avoided, but
those that exist will be so gradual as
scarcely to be noticeable.
Straight Road From Smyrna to Black
Some idea of the elimination of
curves can be CLEANED from the state
ment that between Smyrna and Black
bird the new straight-line route of
the highway crosses the present State
road ten different times. This illus
trates the grapevine course of the
present State road between these two
towns, a condition that travellers
would be reluctant to believe if the
present survey did not make the fac
stand out. From a point north o.
Blackbird the new State highwa!
veers off in a straight line to th'
State road at Pine Tree, betweel
Townsend and Odessa. This route j
approximately that of the old King
Highway, which is touched at times b,
the survey. From a point betweel
Pine Tree and Odessa, the new roa'
will extend in straight line acros
fields and over Odessa Greek into tn
center of Odessa, instead of following
the present road into Odessa. Mos
of this new roadbed already has bee
constructed, and work is now unde
way on a new bridge to span Odess
Greek more than a quarter of a mil
from the present bridge.
Odessa Thru st. Georges to TybOut
The highway will extend northwar
along the route of the present roa
between Odessa and Old Drawer
Church, and it is then to make graC
ual curve and cross new bridge owe
Drawers Creek, eliminating til
sharp curve and bridge now there.
will follow the present highway, wit
Strengthening out here and ther
! from a point not far from Drawer
, Creek to St. Georges. Between 7.
: bouts Corner and st. Georges pract
: cally an entirely new route is to
E followed. 1t will veer off from Il
4 present State highway at Tybout
e Corner, and extending southwark w
! cross farms in a straight line betwet
f the two points, spanning the canal
: st. Georges by new route, to pr
Y serve the straightline survey, whi'
e will necessitate construction of ne
d bridge.

They do it on Hawaii
But Not on Maui Yet

Twenty or so children who reside at
what is known as inside" 15A Miles,
Olaa, now have a chance of attending
school at Mountain View, reports the
IIilo Tribune. The youngsters have
not been able to go to school on ac-
count of the long distance to be COW
cred on foot. In some instances it
meant a daily stroll of II miles or so
if the children attended the institution
On Monday last William Graft, who
secured the contract for carrying the
children TO and from school, began his
work. The contract requires Gran TO
haul the children for two years.
Every morning he will drive to the
homesteader's house that is most re
mote from the schoolhouse. There he
will pick up the first of his small pas
sengers at about $50 o'clock. Then,
gradually, he will make his way out
side" picking up children along he
road.
In the afternoon the bus will carry
the youngsters from the school TO
their homes. That, by the use OF the
bus many children who have been
growing up without any kind OF an
education, will secure an opportunity
to learn something of the great out
side world, is the emphatic opinion o.
those who have learned of the scheme.
The board of supervisors is being con
graduated upon passing the necessary
APPROXIMATION for payment OF the eX-
pense of running the bus.

Ever Been There?

There's a town called Don't-You
Worry,
On the banks of the River Smile
Where the Cheer-up and Be-Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the Never-Grumble flower
Blooms besides the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'er-Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of LWill,
You will find the lovely city,
At the foot of No-Fret hill,
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the Very-Seldom Frown.
