State Rejects
Highway Loans

No advancements in the form OF
loans by counties for construction of
state highway system projects will
be accepted, the State Highway
Commission decided Monday after
comforting with Attorney General
Charles /. Dawson, who explained
to the commissioners the opinion Of
the Court Of Appeals in the Hopkins
County case. c
In that the court held that such
an advancement is debt within the
meaning of the Constitution, and the
department is limited to the esti-
mated annual income for the cur
rent year.
Hopkins county was offering to
lend the department $4,000 Of its
bond issue for construction of the
Dixie Bee Line through the county.
The court said it could, as the state
was not obligated at the time be-
yond its current road revenues.
Since there are enough counties
1kady to match dollar for dollar
with the state in federal aid prof.
ects to keep the state road fund en-
ployed, the commission was of the
opinion that the better policy is to
decline all local loans.
The question whether counties
may contribute their bond issue to
the state for use on federal aid
projects will be decided shortly by
Judge Thomas, who has before him
the suit Of County Attorney Thomp-
son, of Lawrence County, to enjoin
1.-THE fiscal court from thus contribut-
ing $150,000 toward the Mayo Trail.
Mr.. Thompson and delegation from
Lawrence and Johnson were before
the commission Monday urging a
change in the route designated in
Lawrence county, but the commits
sion deferred action until after the
skpit is decided, as the route of the
Mayo Trail would be a moot ques-
ton if the court should say that
the money could not be used for it.
The Flat Fork route of the Mid
land Trail, through Carter county,
was adopted by the commission.
Rivalry between advocates of that
route and the one along the Chesa-
peake & Ohio was threshed out be-
fore the commission ON Monday.
Engineers were of the opinion that
the Flat Fork route would save
100000 in construction cost.
, Owen and Henry counties will be
allowed convict labor again this
year to complete projects under con-
,struction.

Beyond the Profit of Today

Lord, give me vision that shall see
Beyond the profit of today
Into the years which are to be,
That l may take the larger way
Of labor and achievement; so
Help me fashion, staunch and sure
work my fellow men shall know
AS wrought to serve-and to endure
l seek for fortune, Lord, nor claim
To scorn the recompense I earn;
But help me, as play the game,
To give the world it's just return.
Thou mad st the earth for all of u.s.
Teach me, through struggle strain and stress
To win and do my share, for thus
Can profit lead to happiness
Guard me from thoughts of little men
Which blind the soul to greater things;
Same me from SNUG content and then
From greed and selfshness it brings;
Aid me to join that splendid clan
Of business men who seek to trace
A claim, considered working plan
To make the world a better place.
Lord, let the faith of these be mine,
creed creative, simple, true,
Let me but aid in their design
Let me but share the work they do;
Teach me to hold this task above
All lesser thoughts within my ken,
That thus may be worthy of
The name of Business man, Amen!

Chaplin Makes Clever
Six-Reel Comedy

Charlie Chaplin's srper-produc-
ton, "The Kid" which took the
comedian a year to make, has been
hooked for the Tabb Theatre for
Monday.
The very seriousness of the part
in that Charlie plays in the produc-
ton, that of foster father to a two
weeks old baby, makes it one of the
most deliciously humorous pictures
which he has ever given a joy-loving
public. 1t is full feature length, run
ming six reels, and is comedy of such
high rank that it is universally
known as First Nationals six reels
of joy.

SUNDAY

PORTER. Ind. Sept Jack
Leech OF Hammond is today getting
out his literature announcing the third
automobile race meet at the Porter
Speedway for this season. 1t will DO
next Sunday. September Ii.
Jack had counted on waiting 49,
other week or longer before pulling
off this meet but he found that other
dates would conflict and cut down th4
number OF drivers. BY some FAST
work he has made arrangements for
the earlier date.
The Porter Speedway is becoming as
famous II used to be In the old
horse racing daya. Yesterday Leech
received a telephone call from a well
known Indianapolis driver who wants
TO get In the next races. South
Bend drivers have sent word that they
VIII be here with fast racing team
Elkhart will be back and so will So.
Chicago while the Calumet region will
have it's usual liberal representation.
That the racing game has come
back strong is shown by thu fact that
in Lake county a racing association
has been formed by drivers OF small
cars. So far only Ford specials ara
represented. They keep their ma
chimes in perfect condition for racing
only and promise to set the pace at
Porter Sunday.
The track has been in unusually
good shape this season and to guard
against damage by rain, Promoter
Leech Is giving the whole course aa-
other coat Of road oil this week. 1t
is believed this will not only keep Il
in condition for the rest OF the season
but Will make i possible for an early
start next spring.
