Here and There.

Some people find fault with every
thing, With the days, the weeks, and the
seasons. They say the calendar was
built wrong, and In proof point ont that
some Of our months have thirty days,
some thirty-one and one only twenty
eight The last, apparently, feels slight.
cd and once In every few years makes .
demand for longer life. The months
are based on moons and there are thir-
teen of them In the year and only twelve
months. Because Of these things fussy
people want something done about
It. Representative Thomas David Schall
of Minnesota is blind and can't see the
calendar. but bis other senses are acute
and he says the year is . bungle and
should be built over; so he has intro
duced bill In congress for reconstruc-
ton. According to this bill be In going
to have thirteen month";, no matter II IL
queers every one of them. He Is not
going to have one spinster moon which
belongs to no month. Sparkling by the
light of this moon is probably what
makes mismatobes, and he 10 going to
abolish such Irregularities. Each one
of the months 10 going to have twenty
eight days. and each one 10 going to be-
gin on Monday and end on q Sunday.
He is going to put In the new month
the thirteenth montb-in the spring,
which is too bad. 1t may make the
weather at this time OF year more un.
certain than ever. He is going to
christen the new month Vern signifying
spring. According to Schall the Fourth
Of July would always be on Thursday
and so would Christmas. There are two
flies In the ointment, however. There
are 1856 days In year for one thing, and
Mr.. Scball's twenty-eIght day month
provides for only 364, but little thing
like day does not trouble him. he is
going to begin the year with 1t and have
it independent, belonging to no month
New Years Day and holiday. There
is also leap year. He can't cheat the
women out of their one year in four.
On leap year he is going to have an extra
holiday especially for the women be-
tween the months of June and July.
This program 10 not original with Mr..
Schall but was frat developed In Europe
in 1905.

Seventy-five million dollars became
available as federal aid for road CON.
struction In the various states on Novem-
Der 8. This is to be spent under the
supervision of the Bureau of Public
Roads, Department of Agriculture. Ap-
portionment among the states is made
according to three rules, viz: popula-
tion, area and mileage on rural star
mail routes. The amount available for
the state of Maine 10 1886, ,16025. There
is considerable change, however, In the
manner In which Q state may use its
allotment. Each state must select
connected road system not exceeding
7 per cent of it's road mileage for i'm.
provement with federal aid. This sys-
tenn will be divided into two classes, one
OF which will be known as interstate
highways and the other ss intercounty
highways. The Interstate highways must
not exceed three. sevenths OF the system
selected; on them not more than 60 per
cent of the states allotment can be spent
without the joint approval Of the secre-
tary OF agriculture and the state high.
way department. The intercounty high
ways, which consist Of the remainder Of
the system selected, will receive the

ID RAISE FUND FOR

Dr. ConWell Tells Interesting
 FdCtS-JuniOr Town Meets

To raise a fund for the Children's 5 Home will be the aim of the newly elected town officials in Junior Town, which met yesterday morning in the Chautauqua tent. The youngsters held a regular council meeting with the mayor presiding.

 4,000 Honest MilliOnaires.
 Some interesting little known facts concerning millionaires were given dur ing his lecture Acres of Diam monds' by Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conweu to a record crowd last night. Dr. Conwen followed the Swiss bell ringers. He has been writing book on the lives of mil lionaires for the past 28 years which is not quite completed. He said his inves- tigation has revealed that there were 4,O43 millionaires in this country ana all but 40 made their fortunes honestly; 3,7SO began without a dollar; $500 made their fortunes in small cities and
 
 tunes during hard times such as we are having now. He said the foundations of business success and christianity are based on the same principle, Give the people what they require.''
 What New Britain Needs.
 ''The greatest need of the city of New Britain is to have the Chamber of Commerce get the people into one great municipal family, when that is done it will make this city one of the great est cities in this section,'' he said.
 He created much amusement by i1- lustrating the parable of the good Sa- maritan. The first man who passed by on the other side was a preacher, he didn't help because he was not getting salary enough and couldn't do any thing. The next person who passed was a theological student and he did not see any reason why he should stop. But the man who did stop, picked up the fallen wayfarer and took him to a hospital where he paid his bill, was a business man. He showed humanity, which is the greatest business asset, ac- cording to the speaker.
