is yet in it's infancy" said watson.
But in the last few years it has been
a growing industry and has reached to
quite large proportions when con-
sidered in dollars and cents and in
miles of road construction.
Our great state which is the leader
in practically every reform movement
and is ordinarily in advance of our
sister states in everything, has never
been a leader in the matter OF road Inn
provements. In fact, we have been
trailing along very close to the end of
within the last few years that any con-
certed effort has been made to build
highways.
Commission Formed in 1917.
THE state highway commission of
Kansas was created by the legislature
of 1917 and authorized to handle all
federal aid work Shortly after crea-
ton of the commission the war struck
us and it was impossible to proceed
with this work, so that in fact only one
project had been placed under con-
struction before 1919, and that was a
short stretch Of road connecting Fort
Riley with Junction City and was one
that the government considered to be
of military importance.
THE highway commission was not
loafing from 1917 to 1919 but was at
tempting to get a plan prepared by
which we might operate when condt-
lions were more favorable. In 1919
it was felt that the war was over and
we could start out and build roads.
In that year we were considerably
bese+ with difficulty in securing labor
which, together with the general at
titude of labor, was one continual
round of difficulty for highway build
ers. The laborers were not afraid of
work; most any of them could lay
down beside a pick and shovel and
sleep without the least fear that work
would disturb them. During 1920 the
railway situation became more acute
and altho labor was somewhat more
plenty, its attitude toward work was
no better so that in reality the high
way program in this state did not get
fully under way until the beginning
of 1921"

in such bad condition that nothing I

to give UP, as 1 said. and take to my
bed, and this is the condition from
which Tanlac rescued me.
Never in my life have 1 known
anything to equal the change this
medicine has made in me. 1 have been
benefited in every way, have regained
my normal weight, eat anything I
want. sleep sound at night and get up
in the morning feeling fresh and

But there's one sort that brings a
JOY,
Outdoing all the rest by far
Watch any little girl or boy
Who owns and drives a liddie-car.
Its motor has a heap OF pep
1.-TWO sturdy legs that make 1t n.y.,
Pedestrians must watch their step
And let the daring driver by;
with whirling feet, with whizzing
wheels.
Undaunted by the bumps that jar,
The young speed-demon knows and
feels
The thrill that's in kiddie-car.
The motorist is full OF pride,
A pride he plainly shows to you,
But his conceit is naught beside
The kid whose hiddie-car is new;
And proudest OF all folks amid
This world where lots OF proud
folks are,
Is he who owns that little kid
who owns and drives a kiddie-car.
