WRITES OF KATORI TEMPLE
NOTABLE FESTIVAL HELD
(By Don Carlos ,Janes)

If some one were to tell you he
had recently bought in some foreign
land horned horse, the horse about
the size of the average work-horse
seen at home and the horns resemb-
ling those of a COW, you would be
able to combine the images and pic
ture fairly well what his horned
horse looks like, but if you had never
seen either a horse or cow, his de-
scription would have little force and
your idea Of what this strange beast
resembles would in all probability
be very far from correct. / have not
been dealing in strange quadrupeds,
but have recently experienced some
things new to me and great deal
newer to those who have always
resided within the bounds of the
Buckeye state or whatever other sub
division of the great American re-
public in which they chose to be born
and it is not possible for one unac-
quainted with the ways Of the
heather and with the style of their
architecture, ETC., to understand
what traveller really sees in his
journeys among them, unless the de-
scription is simple, and yet detailed.
Even then, the mental pictures will
not be exact copies of the things
yisualized,
A group of missionaries were 60
ing out Some 65 miles into the
country for notable festival at IA
tori temple on the fifth of May. one
of the native preachers had the fore
sight to arrange starting on the day
previous early enough to allow a
stop-over at Martha for sightseeing
there. On the third Of the third
month, there is the doll festival for
girls and it is observed as generally
as christmas doings" at home, anu
perhaps more widely among the jap
anese families than the American
mixture of Christian and other sen
timent on Dec. 25. The boys festl'
val comes on the fifth day of the fifth
month and can not be described fur
ther here than to say it is the custom
to put up long bamboo poles with
paper fish zone for each boy in the
family tied to them on or before
this day, and these are allowed to
swing in the breeze and be filled out

us up on a high, cool sleeping porch,
where we slept moveless sleep, to
waken in a perfect Colorado morn
ing, cool and clear from the snow
wind that had came down off Grand
Mesa, 25 miles away, where the snow
still lies under the rim rock The
summer is warm here, for the Grand
Valley, and there is an unusual
rainfall. We have had l Il inches
so far-about four times the aver
age And some thunderstorms.
This tools unusual. But oh, the rest
full nights! Would we could share
them with you. Fourth of July, the
temperature ranged from 50 to So,
and it rained.
If one could only pick up the Mus
kingum valley with all its beauty.
and set it 1000 feet high III the
Colorado hills-well, perhaps it
wouldn't be best. We would all
want to live there.

We reached Chicago at a. m.
Tuesday, taking the Burlington for
Denver at 10 o'clock. The heat was
very great until we began to climb
at Omaha. After that every hour
brought relief. The crops along the
way looked we'll, although in north
Through Iowa and Nebraska the
wheat and corn were excellent. AS
we passed into eastern Colorado,
there were sections badly drouth
stricken, and other sections where
crops are good. We were getting
into the alfalfa country now.
Wednesday, at p. M, we pulled
into Denver, and had only ten min
utes to change to the Denver and
Rio Grande, and off again. We went
through the cattle and sheep feeding
country, and ] understood why they
bring the lambs from the mountain
flocks to "finish them" on the east
slope
Up until we reached Colorado
Springs, there had been no least
hint of hindrance, only once we
"broke in two" in northern Indiana,
and the air "set" with a bounce that
bid fair to loosen back teeth.
But as we pulled out of the Springs,
there ahead of us hung an ominous
cloud, black, with tossing streamers
of cloud, and torn with broad flashes
of lightning, and I thought long and
hard on what might befaIl US before
! we got up the Royal Gorge. Twenty
I @
| Ancient Mariners ship, we began to
go "slow and slow. and it took us
two hours and a half to reach that
city of horrors.
Then they told us new cloud
burst had washed out lot of the
temporary track and we were strand
ed. The water had run four inches
deep in the streets again.
As we came in, we had caught
glimpses of the ruin, by the OCCASION
al street lamps, or the lights from
the remaining houses. There were
13 crowded coaches on the train.
There had been no time to get a
Pullman at Denver, and the day
coach / was in held Is children, all
ages, from six weeks to IL years.
These slept, but there was little sleep
for the older contingent. About
midnight, / went with another
woman. across to the Union depot.
This had been flooded to the depth
of 10 feet. 1t was cleared but not
cleaned, though there had been
attempts Back of the counter was
a gaping hole in the wall Out back,
the two cement walks down to the
side walk had been shoveled out, and
the sidewalk likewise. Twenty inch
es of mud lay upon the once beauti-
full lawn, and the wall of mud rose
high beside the walk. Beyond this
was desolation, wreckage, slime
pools, and darkness. The great hotel
beyond was being emptied of the
deposit in its first floor and base
ment, and it looked like young
mountain range in the street. Then
they told us stories. You people
OF the Muskingum valley can picture
better than l can tell you what the
material disaster was, but there
were other things-some Of them
will not tell you, for one has to see
them before their mental vision for
many days, if he only hears them.

WIN Lose $4,000 q Mile Unless
Highways Are COntinuous

Kansas, without state aid for road
construction, may yet have a unified
system Of hard-surfaced highways.
The 1921 legislature rejected the
idea OF state aid and adopted the
county unit plan whereby automO-
bile license funds are to go back to
the counties In which collected for
use at discretion Of the county COM
missiOners. Despite the apparent be-
lief Of the legislature to the con-
trary. this-d0es not necessarily mean
that there will not be a unified sys-
tenn Of highways built under super
vision, Of the state, according to W.
@. Markham, secretary Of the State
Highway Commission.
The highway commission, through
its control Of the distribution Of fed
eral aid can dictate the location OF
the principal hard-surfaced roads.
The federal aid plum Of 80 per cent
of the total construction cost, up to
a maximum Of $4,000 mile, is one
which the counties cannot afford to
overlook, 1t is declared. The high
way commission in giving its APP
prevail to contracts in the past has
construed the federal law to mean
that aid shall be granted only for
continuous highways from county ia
county. The commission will con-
tinue this policy, Mr.. Markham an
nOunces,
The continued power Of the high
way commission depends on passage
by congress of the proposed add
tional federal aid appropriation OF
500, 900, 900 yearly for four years
Kansas would receive approximate
ly 100000 yearly. The bill
passed the house by an overwhelm
ing vote In the last session. Sever
of the eight Kansas representatives
voted for it. In the senate, the ap'
propriation as a rider to the posta
bill, In the concluding days OF the
session, failed by few votes TO OBJ
tain the required twO-thirds major
ity. Mr.. Markham, who represent
ed all the states lobbying for tn
bill at Washington, has strong hopes
It will pass the new congress.
Kansas has already been allotted
nearly $s,0OO,OO0 in federal aid, OF
sixty six projects, the total estimat
ed cost of which is $28.73S,744.o1
To date this state has actually re
ceived more than $1.100.00O.
1t is no secret In state house cir
Giles that the State Highway Com
mission exists almost solely d!
virtue of the federal aid law. I'M
law provides that all constructor
work in each state under the &C
must be done under direct super
vision of state highway depart
ment. The Kansas commission ava
