QUIT BUSINESS
TO BUILD ROADS
Aberdeen Stores Closed Doors Tues
day and Help Grade IL Miles Of Road
Report Says There We're Some
SIackers.

Aberdeen, Ida. April ARMED with
picks, shovels, pitch forks and rakes
citizens OF the community comprising
the Aberdeen Highway District by the
hundreds attacked the roads last Tues
day with spirit of cooperation that
would surmount almost any abstaole
and accomplished an immense amount
of good THE roads are ours and we
are working for ourselves seemed
TO be the thought In eyaryones mind
and Wednesday morning many an
ache and limp testified 10 the over
working of long dlsused muscles the
day before
Approximately twelve miles OF
highway were graded, dragged and
raked by crews OF six and seven men,
while other crews burned weeds, and
still others handled the lrsih pen
digging boulders out of the highway.
The work was systematically handled
throughout the length of the highway
under the direction OF W. b. Green,
who apportioned sections of the road
TO subchiefs in charge OF small crews,
All Business Closed.
Every business concern In Aberdeen
was closed tighter than drum all
day, clerks and bosses alike parttici-
pating is the good work. Some few
people with perverted sense of civic
duty refused to work, but they were
In the minority and we're running true
TO form-always aligned with the civic
slackers.
In actual dollars and cents II IL
almost impossible 10 estimate the
amount Of work accomplished, var
ious estimates ranging from $3.50 90
J 10 $4,000 have been advanced by dif-
ferent parties, but the majority opin-
ion seems TO be that the work would
probably amount TO from 1920 10
$1,000 on the highway alone. Reports
came In all day TO the effect that
farmers on the byways were working
the roads tributary TO their farms and
unless some one made an effort to got
complete reports OF the work dons
on the byways this work could not b,
estimated with any degree OF accuracy
Several people have expressed tho
opinion that the good Road Days
could be repeated about once a U1ontl

timber.
VIII Reach to Moon.
There are 23,000,000 acres of forest
ed area in Idaho bearing 10000, ,000,-
600 feet of merchantible timber This
is a stupendous amount of timber,
enough to fill 6,500,000 freight cars and
build side walk of one inch lumber
10.feet wide and 2,462, 121 miles long
enough to go around the earth 100
times at the equator, or from the earth
to the moon and back five times.
Yet, Gov. Davis declares that the
present consumption of timber, thru
waste, fires manufacturing necessities
is fast using the timber and conserva-
ton and planting must be restored to
unless the state is too see its greatest
reource dwindled to nothing within
few short years.
Schools to Aid.
Gov. Davis proclamation:
To the Teachers and Trustees of

I of our nation and state, and
Whereas, the forests of Idaho are a
| great source of our wealth and well
fare, providing not only building ma
terial and fuel but sixty per cent of
the labor employed in our manufac-
turing Industries, and
Whereas, there are great treeless
expanses in our state which would be
benefited and beautified by the plant
ing of trees, and such planting may
in time scribe to avert a serious fuel
famine, and
Whereas, it is the duty of the Coun-
ty Superintendents of this State to SET
aside one day during the month OF
April to be observed as Arbon Day and
to rrange for the giving of an educa-
biOlidl piOBi dhl III tdEu bCnOOl ID ell
courage the planting. protection and
preservation Of trees, and
Whereas. bird life, which is so es

tural industry, will be stimulated ant
increased by the planting of trees,
Now, Therefore, l, d. w. Davis
Governor of the State of Idaho dc
hereby earnestly recommend that thc
people of Idaho upon the day desig

as Arbor Day, take an active part il
the planting Of trees along the public
i highways and streams, upon vast,
lands, in school grounds, in public ant
private parks, and upon their owl
premises, in order to provide for thu
heads for the future generations.
is further urged that Bird Day be OBJ
served in connection with Arbor Da,

American Falls citizens are ad-
vised to go to the Power county court
house and register before April 26, the

records on the Pacific Coast, a r
honOrs we're won by the same car,
/. Yosemite National Park. A Studebaker LIGHT
SIX, piloted-by Hart L. Weaver and carrying a crew of
five men from the Chester N. Weaver Company, was the
first automobile to reach the Yosemite National Park
over any one of the three snow covered roads under its
own power this year. The car went over the narrow
and dangerous Coultervlle road, bucking snow as deep
as ten feet in some places, arriving in Yosemite Valley,
January 10.
2. Round Trip Record Between San Francisco
and Los Angeles. On February 2 the same car,
driven by Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley of the
Chester N. Weaver Company, established a new round
trip record between San Francisco and Los Angeles, a
distance of 8648 miles, in the sensational time of Fl
hours and % minutes.
3. Coast Route Record from San Francisco to
Los Angeles. On the round trip record Of February 2
the Studebaker LIGHT-SIX lowered the coast route record
from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2 hours, IS
minutes and 20 seconds. The former record was IL
hours, AZ minutes and so seconds, the time of the Stude-
baker LIGHT-SIX being 10 hours, IL minutes and 80
seconds for the distance of 1887 miles. The pilots were
Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley.

and San Francisco. On February "a the Studebaker
LIGHTISIx smashed the valley route record between Los
Angeles and San Francisco, running the distance of 411.l
miles in the remarkable time of 9 hours, IS minutes and
so seconds. This record was made all the more remark
able on account of the car having to 60 through a dense
fog a distance of more than 100 miles between Tulare

S. Los A~ngeLes-Phoenix Record. On the morning
of March % the LIGHT-SIX left Los Angeles in an at
tempt to lower the fifth and only remaining record of
consequence on the Pacific Coast. The Az miles OF
desert trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix were made in
Is hours 10 minutes, and 2 hours % minutes were taken
from the best previous automobile record. The railroad
time is Ia hours 20 minutes, or l hour q minutes slower
than the record established by the LIGHT-SIx.
Hart.L L. Weaver of the Chester N. Weaver Company,
Studebaker Distributors in San Francisco, made the
following statement after the completion of the Los
Angeles Phoenix run:
These tests have demonstrated on the road every
thing that Studebaker engineers have claimed for the
new LIGHT-SIX-cylnder car. When it is remembered
that the bore and stroke of this car is only 80 x ~,
giving it a piston displacement of POI cubic inches, and
that the car fully equipped only weighs $500 pounds,
these records are all the more remarkable since most OF
them were formerly held by heavier cars costing much
more than the Studebaker LIGHT-SIx. l am inclined to
believe that the secret of this cars wonderful perform
ance, and reliability is due in a very large measure to us
remarkable balance. Halved or quartered the parts OF
the new LIGHT-SIX would weigh approximately the same.
I'm making the Los Angeles Phoenix record l am
frank to confess that despite my faith in the stamina OF
Studebaker automobiles I could not believe that any car
and chuck holes that was necessary in order to lower the
record BY a large margin without falling to pieces. ANY
automobile, irrespective of weight, power or price class
that can lower the record established by the Studebaker
LIGHT-SIX will have my most sincere admiration"
