ROAD BUILDING.

The thirty-five volunteers who put the road from
Jemez 81 rings to Albuquerque in condition last Sat-
urday taught a few lessons.
One was that community effort makes work
lighter especially when there is smile the face
of every worker.
Another was that the size of job decreases
sharply when a determined group start upon its
completion
But more important was the demonstration that
the time to work roads is just after the rain.
There had been cluudburst at JemeZ. Boulders
filled the road. Some Of them were as big as car,
according to members of the party These boulders
dynamited out of the way. In the soft, moist
sand and gravel roadbed was built. Vacation
parties returned to Albuquerque the new road
Sunday.
Promptness is the secret of success in road build
ing There a drag working in Albuquerque on
Sunday and 1t improved a road which has needed
Improvement for long time. The work done
with less trouble and the results will be more lasting.
1t would that the state highway commission
might profitalTy have in readiness flying squad
ron" which could be released main travelled
roads" just after every rain. 1t would prove to be
economy If our present investment in permanent
roads could be protected in that way.

CRIME WORTH WHILE.

Tex Richard, prize fight promoter, in company
with a motion picture producer, has transported a
film of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight across the
state line from New Jersey into New York. according
to the press dispatches of yesterday.
There is federal law designed to prohibit the
interstate transportation of motion pictures Of prize
fights. There has been discussion that the pic
lures of the Dempsey Carpenter fight might not be
so prohibited since the fight might be considered by
federal authorities a boxing boht.
However, If Richard and his partner are guilty of
a violation of the federal statute, they have small
grounds for worry. The maximum Jail sentence is
one year, but they more apt to draw cash fine
which, at the most, will not exceed $1,000.
The law would to carry rather light pen
alties The fight film could earn several thousands
of dollars few exhibitions in New York city 1t
will probably be exhibited and the New York pro-
moter will likely the money for his fine long
before 1t is due
When the law was enacted, a thousand dollar fine
looked large. Today, when movie spectacles draw
packed houses at 50 seat the fine is insignificant.
Either more law or none seems needed.

TIE BUDGET IN OPERATION.

Standing by itself. the s112,512,62S which Budget
Director Dawes thinks the government save this
fiscal year through the practice of ordinary
lions of approximately $4,000 900 OOO it is not much.
But as promise of retrenchmens that will be pos
sble in succeeding years it looms very large. Mr..
Dawes estimates, reported to President Harding,
are complete justification of the innovation which
this administration has introduced.
There is before complete analysis of the
contemplated savings but it is to be concluded from
the details published that the economies will be eff
fected in large degree by elimination of dead wood
from department personnes and the adjustment of
unbusinesslike practices which add enormously to
governmental expenses. Not all the leaks be
closed Immediately but in the preparation Of the
next national budget provision be made for
stopping losses through reorganizations Of depart
mental machines modern lines. That being
complished, the pepole may expect reduction OF
government expenses far greater than the $1,000
900 day which ex-President Taft estimated some
years ago might be saved through the introduction
Of better business methods at Washington.
The law today protects great many situations
and practices which should be dispensed with. Con-
gress alone has the power to make the necessary
cleanup. 1t cannot act large scale without detail
information of what should be done. This will be
assembled by Director Dawes and his assistants and
be ready for the lawmakers when next they take up
the annual appropriations. good beginning has
been made. Results of vast Importance to the people
are assured when Director Dawes is in position to
cut deep into expenses is necessary establish
healthy business conditions in the government

BE A GOOD SPORT.

This is the time Of year and almost any hour the
time of day when every attractive shady nook close
and far from the highways becomes the site of a
picnic or lunch party.
Thanks to nature and to kind hearted govern
ment these spots inviting clean, tidyand the
picnic folks toddle out Of motor shout their pleas
ure at their choice and take possession. Too often a
few hours later these attractive spots litter of
lunch boxes, plates oiled paper. egg Shells sardne
cans and banana skins.
You the point now. you careless or Indifferent
picnicker.
And so why not be good sport?
If nature some person or the government
makes the place attractive for you why not leave 1t
attractive for others who follow? In other words
why not clean up, burn up the litter, taking to
extnguish the fire before you leave, collect the
refuse and cart 1t away with you?
Surely after the pleasure you have had out of n
picnic spot you would not Intentionally want to
it up for others because II every that Sort
the fascinating spot in which you lunched would not
have been attractive at all.
OF course, II after dinner at home you sweep the
plates the floor hur the knives into the plaster
leave the food debris scattered the table cloth,
1t is natural to carry such manners into the woods
and onto the by-ways.
Consideration for others is Of the finest of
human assets.
Clean up after the picnic and be a good sport.

MAKING THE MANTEL-PIECE
ARTISTIC,

The old-fashioned "mantle-p piece"
was an overloaded horror, boast
ing vases, sea-shells, plaster fig
urines, gilded ornaments, photo
graphs and generally massive
marble clock. For in grandmoth-
er's day interior decoration was an
almost unheard-of term, and the
idea of restful surroundings bene-
fitting the nerves had not been con-
ceived.
l believe that the average house
keeper who is her own interior
decorator, is more lat sea- regard
ing the treatment of her living
room mantel, that about any other
section of her house. Letters from
my women readers bear out this
belief. rs there any accepted and
conventional treatment of a man
tel?" say such letters; ARE there
any particular ornaments which
must. or must not go the mantel?"
To which | am obliged to reply
that every mantel brings it's own in
dividual problem. There are hard
ly two that can betreated exactly
alike. For they differ so great
ly. Notice this fact as you go
about the homes of your friends.
The wood, the thing, the color of
brick, the position in the room, the
size, the surroundings-all these
points must be taken into consid-
Grafton when planning the correct
treatment of mantel. So Mrs. AS
problem is never the same as Mrs.
BIS. The only thing for my Reader
Friends to do, If they want me to
help them, is to write me a minute
description Of their own particular
nantel, SO that l can advise them
personally concerning it. "a
stamped, self-addressed envelope
should accompany such requests.)
There are, however, certain gen.
eral remarks which can be made
about certain classes of mantel. A
low, short mante1, for instance,
should never hold a massive orna-
ment. An unusually large mantel,
on the other hand, is not well ball
anced If it bears only diminutive
objects. A mantel which is placed
in the corner of room looks best
with a small, square rug directly In
front of it (never with the corner
of a large rug pointing into IT'D. A
mantel tiled with terra Gotta brick
is given character by a piece of
terra Gotta pottery.
But perhaps the crudest mistake
that one can make is to treat a for
NAL mantel informally. BY "for-
NAL mante" / mean a mantel
placed among perfectly SYMMETRY
cal surroundings-for instance,
with a door on either side of 1t at
equal distances, or with even pam
cling on either side of 1t, or with
twin bookcases on either
side of 1t. Such a mantel should
bear a pair Of candelsticks, or a
pair of vases, or pair of oil
sketches, or a pair of any objects
which will give it a formal appear
lnce in harmony with it's symmet-
rical surroundings. The formal
which l prefer is a
medium size bronze or dull-brass
clock in the center and a pair of
on either end; the
,lock is a most appropriate orna-
nent for mantel, and candlesticks
always give a quaint old-time dig
lity which Is delightful.
And now, what may the informal |
nantel bear? 1t may bear any
hing. For instance, you may stand |
! bas-relief at point three-quar-
ers of its length, If you wish, and |
good-looking jade-green bowl

turtle was clinging by it's jaws tc
the VOLTS tail.
Where are your" howled the
surprised Wolf when he saw no one
for he couldn't see the end of his
tail with the tiny turtle on.
Look behind YOU" said the
small voice.
Again the Wolf turned, but he
saw no one.
Turn around againw called the
Turtle, sort of speaking sideways
out of his mouth. Turn again and
you will see me--maybew
The Wolf turned again and then
he kept on turning in q circle. But
each time he turned his tail, went
with him, and the turtle swung
around CT the tail and the bad chap
never rad a glimpse of the teaser.
And all of sudden the wolf
turned 50 much that he became
dizzy and down he fell.
Run. Uncle Wiggily, runm cried
the little turtle, as he dropped off
the VOLTS tail and hid under a
stone. And run Uncle Wiggily and
Baby Bunty did. their ears not be-
ing nibbled at all. The baby turtle
had saved them.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, July 25.-Wheat prices
bulged at the last today because Of
reports that wheat bought by Bel
GUM in Australia was being re-
ceived out of condition. The mar
ket closed firm. q to NC net
higher, with September $1.2Sk to
s1.23% and December S1.26A to
$1.26h. Corn gained % to &c,
oats lost u q &c to &c and pro-
visions finished unchanged to 15c
lower.
Later strength Of wheat was en-
phasized by gossip that exporters
could not obtain their requirements
in the market here. Renewed at
tention was thus drawn to state
ment from Secretary Hoover, put
ting stress on forecast that Uni
ted States surplus grain would be
in demand for Europe. Until after
midday, however, the market had
ruled heavy owing to continued
big receipts here and the likeli-
hood that the total primary re-
ceipts this week might exceed any
previous record. Besides. hedging
pressure was much in evidence
during the morning and premiums
for fancy spring grades were shot
to pieces, tumbling Csc in some
cases, compared with Saturday.
On the other hand decided falling
off in hedging sales took place in
the last hour, shorts covered freely,
and commission house demand was
said to be of good class.
Export sales of 100000 bushels
rallied corn from the bearish effect
of rains, but hedging sales kept
oats weak.
Lower quotations on hogs acted
as a weight on provisions.
Closing prices:
Wheat - Sept, $1.231s; Dec,
$1.26A.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
LITTLE TURTLE
BY Howard B. CARTS

Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty
| the small rabbit girl, were hop.
ping through the woods one day.
forget Just where they were going
perhaps II was to the eight and
nine cent store to buy two-cent
lollypop for Baby Bunty.
Anyhow, as Miss Bunty was hop
ping along she suddenly stopped
and cried:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Look! Isn't
he just the cutest, dearest little
one you ever saw"
whats that?" cried the bunny
gentleman. Have you found little
Fox or Wolf. Bunty?"
mo, it is a little baby mud tur-
tle," answered the little rabbit girl
"Oh, isn't he darling!"
Uncle Wiggily hoped over close
to Baby Bunty There on the wood
land path he saw a small turtle,
about as large as a fifty-cent piece.
"well. well, little chap" ex-
claimed Mr.. Longears. what are
you doing so far away from home
and your father and mother?"
"Oh. il you please" spoke the
baby turtle in very tiny voice,
I'm lost! / started out to see the
world, and have adventures, but
now I want to go back home. Only
it's about thousand miles away.
! guess"
mot quite as far rs that, I think, -
laughed Uncle Wiggily. "It may
very slowly, like the snail But 1t is
seem that far TO you, as you crawl
But 1t is only few hops for Baby
Bunty and me. I'll pick you up
and carry you back to your
home"
"Oh, thank you!" said the little
turtle. SIT is very kind of you to
take this trouble for me. I never
should have gone so far from
home. I'm sure 1t must be two
thousand miles"
ooh, moi" laughed Uncle Wig
gily, as he picked the small chap
up in his paws and put him in his
pocket--in the bun1y's pocket, /
mean, for the turtle had none. at
Is only shout two hops and part of
another one. though 1t may be
thousand crawls for you"
So Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bun
ty took the little turtle to his home
on the edge of the swamp, and
there the rabbits found big Mr.. and
Mrs. Turtle just about to start off
to look for th;ir little boy.
"Oh, was so worried" exclaim-
ed Mrs. Turtle. poking her head out
from her shell. you must never
crawl so ia. away again. Scootie."
