quent detours Therefore much Of this
seasons work, augmented by maintain
ence of other State roads, will be con-
centrated on the National road, Mr..
Lyons said.
WORK TODAY
SPEEDED UP.
According to C. Gray. acting chief en-
gineer, the construction of this most i'm
portant of Federal highways which is to
give the nation hard-surface road from
coast to coast, is proceeding at the rate
of approximately four miles a month.
An additional concrete mixer starts this
month to speed up tle work.
Indiana today has completed 20.24
miles of this highway and has 1872 miles
under contract. A total of 1928 miles is
necessary to complete the road from
Terre Haute to Richmond. The depart
ment has under contract 151 miles Of
various State roads and up to this time
has built with Federal aid 56.5 miles.
Building on all State highways is pro-
crossing at the unprecedented rate of ap-
proximately twenty miles a month
against last years record III nth of seven
miles and an average of three miles per
month.
The Federal aid plan of cooperation
with States in national highway build
ing is to match dollar for dollar, extend
ing 80 per cent of financial aid on a
basis of population and 80 per cent on
area up to, but not in excess Of, $4,000
a mile on contract price. With material
and labor prices at present making 1t
cost about $4,000 mile for concrete

APPROVES ROADS
TO COVER FUNDS.
The States portion of Government
moneys is S7415, 29261, and, according to
Engineer Gray, the highway department
has contracted to use the sum of $3.50
AGA and has approved roads to cover all
available funds Federal money OBJ
tanned on mileage built up to May "a
this year was $175.343.22 and applica-
tion has been made for 1912, 424.73
The Indiana portion of the National
road connects the cities of Terre- Haute,
Brazil, 2lainfeld, Indianapolis, Green
field, Enightstown, Cambridge City and
Richmond and opens to continuous mod
ern highway travel some of the richest
agricultural and Industrial regions OF
the Hoosier commonwealth.

While the policy Of the commission is

sections and to eliminate long and fire.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

Republican leaders in Wyoming, in the past, have
had some very severe lessons. To wkat extent they
put over a proposition in a convention or primary,
but without due regard for the ensuing election it
becomes altogether something else. -
We have had a Democratic governor in Wyoming
and the same man is now a Democratic senator in the
United States senate representing the state of Wyo-
ming. He is an astute and crafty politician and gets
more on his political Investments than any man yet
to come out Of Wyoming. For a long time his re-
turn to the United States senate has been in the
process of making.
B. Kendrick will overlook any Of the vital points of
the game He viii not. And don't think for an in
slant that he will not point out to the voters of Wyo-
ming such facts and figures as viii be of advantage
to his political fortunes.
The people of Wyoming as well as the people at
things about balanced. The senate is safely Repub-
lcan and will be for some time to come. Mr.. Mon
dell is not needed in the senate to maintain a Repub-.
licsn majority and he is needed in the house to sus-
tain Wyoming's prestige, increase it and bring higher
honors to himself.
Mr.. Kendrick will tell you in his campaign that you
should have a showing of Democrats in the senate as
somewhat of a balance to the large majority of the
dominant party and thus work out to highest useful
ness our two party scheme of government. The re,
little points.
1t must be religiously remembered that the Repuc-
lican party Of Wyoming strbbed its toe in 1910, 1914
and 1916, only to speak of recent years. In the year
1914 Mr.. Kendrick was made governor and in 1916
senator. His success was made possible only by the
votes of Republicans, for Wyoming is a Republican
state and her people are not inclined to jump the
fence without cause.
When we went into it we constantly reminded our
selves that We've got to win this war" It's the
time there is no sense in being blind to the things
we have to face.

GETTING RID OF A

In discussing spring subjects the Providence Jour
nal journeys to Kansas for inspiration. 1t says:
~ think every family should move every few
years. says a Kansas philosopher. ito get rid of the
natural accumulation of junk
"Goodi But what is going to become of the a-
emulation? Is the family expected to leave it be-
hind-slough it off as a snake sloughs off his skin?
That wouldn't be fair to the family that moves in.
Nobody likes to rent a house and find it, half full
of trash-al sorts of outworn stuff in the closets ano
cupboards, piles of refuse on the floors, abandoned
furniture in the attic and barrels of shoes and empty
bottles in the cellar.
Nevertheless, the Kansas man is on the right track.
There is too much effort made to save valueless ar
ticles. The idea of the savers is that these things will
come in handy some day, but in ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred that day never arrives.
LET any reader of these lines ask himself whether.
within his own domain. there is not a mass-or mess
of stuff that he would be better of without. 1t might
be of some use to somebody, but it never will be 70
him. 1t will simply serve to clutter up the house, AMI
to occupy space that might better be devoted to some
thing else, or to nothing at all. The saving habit is
all right up to a certain point, but it can be carried
too far"

WHO RUNS CONGRESS AND WHY.

In the national house of representatives there are
AIS members. The membership is apportioned on a
basis of population. Wyoming has but one of these
members. If we assume, for arguments sake, that
the total number will not be increased and that mat
tiers run true to form, under the law of averages Wyo-
ming will get another chance at the congre .s,pnal
leadership in 400 years and will again be eligible to
the speakership in the same long stretch of time.
Wyoming voters have put Frank Mondel where he
is today. His ability warrants his having his pres
ent position of majority leader. But it is his senior
ity that makes it possible for him to be the leader.
It is said in Washington that Massachusetts and
Wyoming are running congress-
How is that? you ask
Because of Senator Lodge and Speaker Gillettes
standing and consequent influence for Massachusetts
and because Of Senator Warren and Majority Lead
cr Mondelrs standing and consequent influence for
Wyoming.
By all logic and fairness Wyoming voters desire
Mr.. Mondell to remain majority leader in the house,
the third strongest Legislative position in America
and to remain in line for the speakership, the second
strongest place in American politics.

AExcURsoNIA.''

During three summer months the United States is
obiiterated for many inhabitants by a new land which
might be called Excursonia' is the way it occurs to
the New York Evening Post. During the war the
~insistent advice to see America first was coupled with
a paradoxical refusal to supply the most useful means,
the excursion rate. Now June i has made the cor
ners OF the daily papers blossom with the old adver-
tisemenss, there to remain till the end of September.
There was much justice in the complaint that seeing
America first without excursion rates meant that Cape
Cod was crowded with visitors - that
Niagara hotels were filled with sightseers from-Buf.

people Of 81. Louis have the ozsrks close at hand.

RECONSTRUCTION.

During the year 1920, according to statistics, the
number of suicides in the United States was in ex-
cess of 10000, an increase over the previous year.
There is no one basic reason for self-inaicted death,
the causes assigned being numerous, but the ma
jority of the cases the record shows were due to d.
vorce, c~ongested living conditions and the eighteenth
amendment.
Out of the total number 707 were children, the boys
averaging is years and the girls 10 years.
The national society organized for the purpose of
coping with the situation demands regulations max
ms it more difficult for the public to secure firearms
and deadly poisons which are the means employed
for self-destruction to largest extent.
