VALUE OF A NATIONAL HIGHWAY

'IHE benefits to be derived from i location on i
day this week. The men were discussing the matter
OF building the road through ArbucJe mountains
so this city might be on a trunk highway leading
north and south One man was enthusiastic over
the project the other said il was not worth the
cost The man who opposed the road building said
that there were not many tourists to visit this sec
ton OF the state. The enthusiast wagered a sum
that there were many as five automobile, parked
in the tourist camp OF the ciy and a trip was made
70 Whttngton Park and eleven families were found
camped there. One was from California and another
from New York
There is much rejoicing when railroad builds
into town but many people that the building
or national highway through city is worth more
than new line OF railroad Ii bring, many people
from all over the country and often they remain
many days and sometimes they make inyes:ment,
thai lead to their removal to the city
1t is believed by men who are a. the head OF
the national good roads movement that the time
Is here when the government is going to build
great trunk lines connecting the capitals OF all states
or the union These lines will be surveyed and built
without the aid OF the states and cities will not
have an opportunity 20 Influence the location OF
these roads. They will be located BY government
engineers without regard to the wishes OF local peo-
pie but with regard to acceeration OF travel and
cost OF construction.
Il is important that Ardmore induce as many
national highways TO build through here as it is

Fear,

Nancy discovered very soon that lit
tie 1rix had never learned to play.
and inasmuch as Miss Henderson had
given her free rein in her manage
ment of the child. she decided for the
present to have lessons for only two
hours in the morning and to romp
with TriX as much as possible. At first

with dignity that was amazing in
one so young but gradually she learn

Once Nancy asked her what she was

Nancy did not force her confidence.
But she could not help wondering what
1t was that menaced the child and
brought that look almost Of fear into
her eyes.
There was another thing that Nancy

The motion picture controversy has

around which the interest OF the law
makers centres and which are certain
to stir up hard contests. These are
the proposals to abolish the direct pri-
mary by restoring the convention sys-
tenn OF nominating State officials and
TO create a State board OF censorship
to control motion pictures.
Gov. Miller has indicated he favors
both measures. His stand on the pri-
mary bill is firm. Elimination Of the
Hughes system of direct primary nom

gramme and Is one of the features of
his legislative policy On the subject
Of motion picture censorship the Gov
ernor has not taken a positive and un-

that something must be done to re-

In both houses OF the Legislature
there Is hard battle ahead In the next
few days on these measures. Indica-
tions are that the direct primary bill
will pass and go to the Governor. but 1t
