Contract for Henry County Road.

The contract for the construction
of 1854 miles of highway in Henry
County between Paris and the Ken
lucky State line was awarded by the
State Highway Commission to Little
& Dean, of Shaw, Miss. Their bid
upon the work amounted to $412,-

completion of the road by December
81, 1922.
The bids were opened in the Sem
ate chamber Friday morning at 10
o'clock, but owing to the time re-
quired to tabulate the various items,
the award was not announced until
the afternoon. Seven contractors Of
fered proposals.
This is the second time bids have
been opened for this piece of work.
On the former occasion, all bids were
rejected because of the failure of con-
tractors to include all items of con-
struction in their proposals. The low
est bidder at that time did not pro-
vide for the construction of bridge

The message said details of the
new offer would be sent by mail and
these were awaited by the secretary
1t added that the bidder did not de-
sire any publicity given him in con-
nection with the offer.
Secretary Weeks said he and Com
merce Secretary Hoover conferred for
several hours over the Ford proposal
without reaching q final decision. He
explained that it was difficult for two
laymen to act on a matter involving
millions of dollars and several ex-
perts have been employed to study
the details and technical phases of
the bid. Until the experts report,
the secretary Caid, no fin:&. decisi a
would be made, adding that it would
take some time for them to report.
The Birmingham message said
the plant and dam would be operated
on a $3.50 profit-sharing basis, in

Christian Endeavor Clippings.

A conference of union workers in
the Marble Collegiate Church or
Monday at noon gave an opportunity
to General Secretary Gates to pre-
sent them the new Four-score Cam
paign outlined for the next two
years work by DR.. Clark. This cam
paign will be distinguished from for
mer campaigns by the fact that it
puts it's emphasis on education rather
than on statistics.
1. The first goal or aim of the cam
paign is to work toward graded En-
deavor. This means that we shall
try whenever possible to organize in
our churches junior, intermediate
and senior societies.
2. The second aim is increased
service to the pastor and church
Suggestions were given to unions to
make place in their rally and con-
vention programmes for denomina-
tional representatives to present the
aims of the churches. Mr.. Gates
urges that Endeavorers refrain from
entering upon expensive enterprises.
The gifts of Endeavorers should prop
erly sweep through denominational
channels. He warned against unions
permitting organizations, however
good, to come before Christian Con-
ventions to present their special ap-
peals. Christian Endeavor Conven-
tions are not places for this kind of
thing. These organizations may ap-
peal rather to the denominations.
8. The third aim is the religion in
the home. We are not going to try
to record the religious homes, but
just emphasize the principle of the
thing. Secretary Gates urges that
the home be made more of social
center than it is. An occasional "stay-
at home week" might be a good
thing. to try. And we should also
