NEARLY ENDEDo
Completion of Present Work
to Give Indiana $500
Miles of Pixies.

With single exception, all contract
projects let in 1919 for State highway
construction and carried on until this
year will be completed within a short

This means that during the season OF

Gus concrete type. Lawrence Lyons,

fifth, Or about 100 miles, are Of hard
surface type. The State highway de-
partment, since its inception. has con-
structed in all approximately 132 miles
Of hard surface roads, eighty miles of
which were built during 1921.
The commission is planning to award
contracts for the construction of from
100 to 200 miles of highway. principally
of the hard surface type. proposals for
which will be opened early in January.
Of this proposed new construction
sixty-six miles are on sections of the
National highway in Vigo. Clay, Put
nam. Hendricks, Hancock and Henry
Counties. This work will be pushed to-
ward early completion and the commits
sion expects. early in the new year. to
close the gaps in this road and com
plete Indiana's portion of the transcon-
tinental highway from Terre Haute to.
Richmond.
The grading and much Of the con-
struction work on these gaps already
have been completed. Work on these
places will continue throughout the cold
weather and if the weather permits actual
pavement laying will be started by May

THURSDAY.

Mrs Hooper and the Bride started
early to do their shopping, as they both
had a number of things to buy and the
Bride was determined to make thor
ough search for piece of silk that
would match Betty's coat and from
which n little hat could be made. She
and Mrs. Hooper had picked out a shape
they liked in the fashion magazine and
which they were sure would be becoming
70 Betty and this the Bride had also
undertaken TO buy, while Mrs. Hooper
did the rest of her shopping and some
marketing.
How about Christmas presents this
YEAR," asked the Bride with the in
Quisitiveness of the intimate friend she
had become. Are you going to buy
any even for your family? If so we
ought to do something today while we
are In town unless you intend to go to
the city for your Christmas shopping"
Indeed do not" replied Mrs. Hooper

bought right here in Mayfield the way

lived here. But l don't see how | can

Betty's illness was SO unexpected. and

"but where there are children Christmas
simply must be celebrated in the good
old fashioned way"
"Oh, / shall do something Of course"
said Mrs. Hooper. 'if for no other rea-

times or financial troubles wouldn't be

c. Roltare Eggleston was a magician
on the B. z. Keith vaudeville circuit be
fore it developed that a magician could
work magic" in front of a theater as
well as on the stage.
About six years ago, Mr.. Eggleston
was given a ticket for Indianapolis from
Philadelphia by the Keith interests and
was told to use his magic" here as man
ager Of the Indianapolis Keith house.
So Eggleston caught 4 train TO this
city after relinquishing his duties as
manager of the Allegheny Theater, the
Keith house, at Philadelphia.
And Eggleston and his magic has been
here ever since.
1t takes magic" to make a playhouse
a Statewide institution and that is what
Mt. Eggleston has done in the six years
he has ben at Keith's here
Back Of the magic" of Eggleston is a
philosophy of square dealing which
starts from the Keith headquarters in
New York, extends back stage and over
runs the entire theater and this same in
fluence Is felt by the great HOosier pub
lie which fills Keith's twice daily. This
Eggleston mas is felt by the Shrin-
ers. the Scottish Rite, the Indianapolis
Athletic Club. the Columbia Club, the In
dianapOlls Advertising Club and other or
CARNATIONS Of which he is leading men,
Der. He has been one of the moving
spirits in all Of the great Shrine shows
and he has introduced some Of the most
famous vaudeville people to the local
Rotary Club.
But it is probably the newsboy, the
carrier who understands best Of all the
magic' Of G Roltare Eggleston It
takes a magician to know the heart Of
a boy and this Mr. Eggleston learned
when he was touring the eKith and Or
pheum circuit as The Great Roltare, Ma
gician."
The magic" of Mr.. Eggleston has
opened the doors Of the local Keith house
many times to the carriers and news
boys of the city. On many occasions
during the past year, the carriers and

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

Puss Junior awoke with a start a.

pered, 's-s-sh! The Robber Kitten is
getting up. I see him stretching his
legs and yawning.7
Puss peerad around the tree and. sure

He was cleaning his pistol, which cleaned

Well, for almost week they followed
the Robber Kitten, until
Zone lay he met Robber Dog.
ana lney sat down TO drink;
The dog did joke and laugh and sing,
Which made the kitten wink, wink,
wink, wink.
Which made the kitten wink!
At last last they quarreled, then they
fought.
Beneath the greenwood tree,
Till Puss was felled with an awful club,
Most terrible to see See, see. see,
Most terrible to see!
When Puss got up his eye was shut,
And swelled and black and tlue:
Moreover, all his bones were sore,
So he began to new! New. new!
SO he began to mewr'
and then, would you believe it," Puss
Junior said:. Tom, I'm not going to

through the woods. And in the next
story you shall hear what happened after

VILLA is GIVING UP
USE OF MOTOR DRIVEN
TRACTORS AND TRUCKS

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 29.-Fran-
cisco (Pancho) Villa, former BAN
dit leader of Mexico, who Is farm
ing on a 200,000-acre ranch at
Canutillo, in Durango, Mexico,
which was given to him by the
Mexican government when he gave
up warfare, has returned to the
burro cart, oxen drawn vehicles
and the me-honored hand plow.
Villa, the only Mexican rancher
who ever adopted American meth
DDS on a large scale, Is giving up
the use of automobile tractors and
trucks and says they are not suited
to the Mexican temperament. This
Is according to John c. Mcdonald,
an automobile salesman who makes
frequent trips to Villas part OF
Mexico. The former chieftain al
ready has discarded tractors and
has bought a carload Of hand plows
in Torreon, Mr.. Mcdonald said.
II have large number of fol-
lowers on my place." Villa told Mr..
Mcdonald, according to the sales
man, land l must keep them at
work. Tractors provide work for
only one man where / formerly had
ten employed. That leaves many
idle men and idleness breeds trou-
BILE.
THE same Is true of the auto
mobile truck One man can 90
as much work as ten men with OK
carts and burro teams"
These he gave as his reasons for
going back to the old methods, &C.
lcording to Mr.. Mcdonald.
