BIG BODYBUILDING PROGRAM
AHEAD.

Fifteen TO twenty years of building
good roads lie ahead of the United
States. Under the program which the
country has adopted there viii be
built, during hat time, 10000 miles
Of improved highways. which will con
stitute the Federal Aid highway sys-
tenn and an equal or greater mileage of
state and local roads. When the
great job is done, the transportation
facilities Of the country will far ex-
seed those of II other nation, past
or present, in the world. The high
ways of the ancient Romans, whose
fame has come down through the cen
turtles, viii pale by comparison.
Details of this vas ~road-buildig pro-
gram are to be placed before the High

in Washington, October 26th to 2Sth,
inclusive, BY State Highway Engineers

The
Wishing Buttons
BY CHRISTOPHER c. HAZARD
@. l922. Western Newgpaper unIon.l

%, 1922, Western Newspaper Unlon.)
ITO US children there was a mystic
= rious charm about old Mr.. Uplook.
He used to spend a good deal of his
time in the back part Of his shop, turn
ing bits Of mahogany into little boats
and telling us stories while he Clipped
and polished. He had a small person
in his throat whom he called Pedro,
and he would make him grunt out an
swers to our questions in Il wonderful
manner. His vest buttons were con-
nected with several insects, and when
we touched them there would come
out now a bee, hen a mosquito, and
once in a while a bug hat would
snap off our noses. The buzzing of
the bee, the piping of the mosquito,
and the dangerous assault Of the snap
bug gave us many a thrill and him
much enjoyment.
one Christmas time, being rather
short of rich relatives and very long
on hope, we conceived the idea of
drawing upon the fairy of
our good friend, by suggesting a but
ton that would connect with the good
genius of the holidays and bless our
wishes. So we asked Mr.. Uplook If
he thought the first two buttons on his
coat could by I'M possibility have any
thing to do with the Christmas case.
lie said that he would have to go int
his back room and see about IL first,
but when he came Out we knew by
his looks that it would be all right.
We wanted to press the buttons sew
eral times, but Mr.. Uplook thought
that once would be enough. and said
that In each case we might whisper
two desires, whispering loud enough
for him to hear, so that he might be
sure we were getting the thing
straight. So w pressed and whls-
pered in that perfect faith that Mr..
Uplook always inspired In us.
We were not surprised on Christmas
morning when things happened just
as we had expected, and kind Mr.. Up
look seemed just like a real Santa
Claus as he stood by the roadside
with his camera, taking n picture OF
one boy with ~red-topped, ~copper-toed
boots. riding on n new sled; and Of
another who was trying n pair of
shining skntes on the wayslde pond
and trying TO keep a fur cap In It's
place. And we boys were painting
upon our hearts a picture OF this
good friend that has lasted until now.

comparatively recent years. road-build.
ing in the United States had been con-
Quoted without special regard to a
national system. Highways had been
constructed where needed without con
sidering whether they would link up
in the most effective manner with the
whole network of roads to be spread
over the Nation. Engineers had sought
more to meet immediate and local de-
mands than the broader requirements
Of the States and Nation.
The present Federal Aid road-build-
ing program. officials of the Bureau
state, will contemplate the construction
of only such roads as fit into the ma
tional program and contribute to the
national system.

NORTH PLATTE VALLEY FOLKS!!
Win q Cash Prize
AND BUY YOUR XMAS PRESENTS.
CONTEST CLOSES MONDAY, DEC. IS, 1922.

The business men of our valley have expressed
a desire for an appropriate phrase or slogan which
can be used for advertising and otherwise making
this valley more widely known. Other sections of
this State and of other States employ a "catch
phrase" or slogan" as a means of more definitely
calling attention to their respective communities.
This valley wants something of a similar nature.
For instance, the Green River folks, in the west
ern part of our state, refer to their country as "The
Last Frontier" You didn't think our neighbors to
the west were clever enough to think of and make
use of such a thing as that, did you? Well, they
have done it, and we will have to give them credit for
having a live bunch out there. Kansas City folks
say they live in "The Heart of America" And over
at Davenport, Iowa, they say that enterprising burg
is "The Gateway of the West" Those people think
so much of their own communities that they tell the
whole world about it in four or five catchy words.
How about our North Platte Valley? Why can
not we tell the world that we are on the map, also?
Lots of people know this valley as "The Fishermen's
Paradise" But don't you think there is something
lacking in that slogan? People outside may think
there is nothing but fish here when they read that.
We don't believe that is true and we are going to
have an awful argument with the dude that says
so. Other folks say this is "The Valley With a Hun
dred Resources" We know that is true, but it isn't
definite. Every community might think and say
the same thing of itself.
Now, listen! This is what we are going to do:
We want everybody in the valley to think hard about
a good slogan. You can say lots of nice things about
this valley, but what particular thing is most de-
s~criptive? Put your ideas of an appropriate "catch
phrase" or slogan" on paper and send it to Lee
Wilcox, Slogan Contest, Saratoga, Wyoming.
This is a contest open to everybody-young and
not so young. The slogan selected as the best one
submitted is going to receive a cash prize of E
DOLLARS; the second-best one, FIVE DOLLARS.
The winning slogan is going to be the property
OF the valley and anybody may use it for advertising
in any way he sees fit. 1t will be used on letterheads,
envelopes, circulars, in newspaper advertisements,
on sign boards-in any manner that will put it be-
fore the eyes of outside people. Contestants are not
limited to one suggestion-send in as many as you
wish
The judges of this contest will be Messrs. Joseph
NUM-, M. B. McKilip and Fred H. Healey. The
contest will close on Monday night, December Is,
and the judges named above will announce the win
ner on Tuesday, December 10.
All right We all know the rules of the game
let's go! Address all your offerings to Postmaster
Lee Wilcox, who will turn them over to the Judges on
Tuesday morning, December 10, and the decicion will
be made just in time for the winners to have their
prize money for Christmas buying.
