tragic had it not been for her brood
and their loss by her stupidity. He
realized that responsibility is great
builder of character. He had never
known any himself. Now he rejOiced
that the turn of events had given him
this family to care for in a personal
way.
Weeks and months passed by. Da-
vid and Betty became the closest Of
friends. The children adored him and
many a wonderful picnic they had in
his big touring car. The roadster was
practically forgotten in the garage.
Betty was exquisitely beautiful sitting
beside David as they skinned along
country roads, and the sunlight played
upon her golden hair and happy eyes.
Betty's account was of goodly proper
lions now, thanks to Davids knoWl-
edge of the markets.
Then came the black dawn when
poor, shifty-eyed creature stood at
Betty's door and demanded admit
lance. The children were fearful and
Betty herself felt a curious sense of
both fear and pity.

on my conscience.
Betty gasped. Was this man in
sane, or was she Just having Il bad
dream? Her money-the money pa
vid had found and returned-there was
another man who claimed to have
found it.
Like a flash the truth dawned on
her. David had not found her money.
He had deceived her. She smiled soft
w. 1t was like David.
With the gentleness born of the
great love she now knew, Betty told
the suffering bit of wreckage that she
could easily forgive him. He offered
her a scant portion of the sum he had
kept, but this she refused.

withdrew. for emotion was getting the
better of him and Betty knew that a

presence.
David" she said quietly, "have you
any confession to make to me?'
David laughed happily. "None ex-
cept that love you-more every day."
David, look at me-have you no
other confession to make to your
wife?'
Something understanding in the VI
olet eyes prompted David's memory.
"You weren't my wife then, dear" he
said, land there was nothing in life
worth talking about or cOnfessing-
until you became my wife. Howev-

convict labor and statute labor, the
value of which, not definitely known,
is estimated at about $132 100000. So
far as possible, all expenditures on
city streets within incorporated towns
and cities and all items of sinking
fund payments or the redemption and
interest payments on road and bridge
bonds have been excluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase of approx
mately 33 1-3 per cent over those Of
1918 and 20 per cent over those Of
1914. More striking, however, Is the
increase in the proportion of the to-
tai funds supervised by the several
state highway departments. In 1918
the expenditures by or under the su-
pervision Of the state highway depart
ments amounted to Sill, 1856, 268, while
the local road funds, over which they
exercised no control whatever, amount
ed to $16S,S12,925. In 1919, however,
the state highway departments super
vised the expenditure Of 5000, 292 !694
as against the total of $1S9, 163, 237
expended by the local road and bridge
authorities.

GOVERNOR VISITS
THE PRESIDENT
SMITH AND DAVIS ALSO IN
TERVIEW HAYS ON POST
OFFICE MATTERS.

Governor Davis and Represen-
tative Smith of Idaho discussed
western reclamation with Presi-
dent Harding Monday and also
asked executive aid in gaining
relief for the agricultural indus
try of the country. They point
ed out especially the need of get
ting the farm loan bank machin-
cry into operation. The presi-
dent replied that he was inter-
ested in western reclamation and
had been making a study of that
question as well as trying to
solve the problem of the farm
ers.
He said that he would have
some recommendations to make
to congress soon after it meets
in extra session.
Before calling on the president
Governor Davis and Representa-
tive Smith passed a half houl
with Postmaster General Hays
requesting that in selecting post
masters henceforth the patrons
of the office be permitted tC
have something to say about the
choice. They told the post
master general that in severa
cases under the civil service
men had been named postmas'
ters because of their high schol'
astic showing without any care
full inquiry into the standing oi
such men in the community.
The most undesirable citizen
they asserted, might be the bes'
speller in the town. The post
/ master general said that no de
cision had been reached abou
the reorganization of the post
offices of the country, but tina
some announcement would b,
forthcoming soon.

CIGARETTE LAW
IN FORCE may s
OFFICIALS ESTIMATE 1000
LICENSES WILL BE Is
SUED TO DEALERS

On May 5, 1921, the anti-to-
bacco laws passed by the Six
teenth session of the state legis-
lature will become effective, it
was announced at the office OF
state constabulary Friday. To
clear up any misapprehensions
as to the working of the laws, +.
NJ. Breshears, superintendent,
made the following statement.
Senate bill No. 1874, the anti
cigarette bill which prohibited
the importation of cigarettes in
to the state, was signed by the
governor but section l was re-
pealed by senate bill No. 327,
which was passed at the closing
of the session and approved by
the governor. Section 2 of SEN
ate bill No. 1874, which amended
section 1868 of the Compiled
Statutes, is a law and will be-
come effective 60 days after the
adjournment of the legislature,
which will be May 5. This sec
tion defines the violation of the
tobacco law with regard to min
ors and prescribes the penalty
therefor.
Senate bill No. 327, which is
the final law, with respect to to-
bacco, passed by the legislature
and approved by the governor,
permits the importation of cigar
cites into the state but provides
that all tobacco dealers shall OBJ
tain an annual license from the
commissioner of law enforce
ment at a cost of $50. The bill
further provides that the license
/ fee for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1921, will be $50. This
means that all tobacco dealers in
the state of Idaho must, after
May 5, 1921, have a state license
to sell tobacco for the remainder
of the year.
1.-THE bill further provides
that each dealer in the state
must file with the commissions
of law enforcement a bond in th'
amount of $500. Violations o
any of the provisions of senat,
bill No. 327 or of section 1868
as amended by senate bill No
327 or of section 1868, as amend
ed by senate bill No. 1874, vii
cause the dealer to forfeit hi
bond to the state and his licens
shall be void and no license vii
be issued to that dealer for
term of five years"
. It is estimated by the depart
ment of law enforcement tha
, some 5000 dealers in the stat
: will be affected.
