Federal Aid Highways

len thousand miles of federal aid
highways were completed IN the last
fiscal year, bringing the total mile
age to 1898, says an Announcement
OF the Bureau of Public Roads, De-
partment OF Agriculture. The
years work constituted a new
record.
Texas leads in miles completed
federal aid roads with 1,733 miles,
while Minnesota is second with
1,416. Texas also is first in mileage
under construction with l, ,408 miles,
and Nebraska IS second with $40
miles. Iowa is third with 945 miles.
Texas and New York receive the
largest allotments OF federal aid,
which is distributed on the basis Of
population and mileage of state
highways.
Aside from the federal state high
way work, the Bureau of Roads has
completed one thousand three hund-
red and fitty-two miles of road in
the national forests, and there are
under construction GIT miles, the
whole to open up regions of great
natural beauty.
Based on variable data. bureau
officers state, the sum to be spent
this year on highways will total
$742, 100000. The figures includes
federal aid roads and projects built
in addition by the state and smaller
municipal units without the aid of
federal funds.
More than 80 miles of bridges have
been built under the federal aid
highway program since 1916. One
of the largest of these bridges, that
from Mandan to Bismarck, N. d., Is
more than three and one-half miles
long and cost ST, ,428,0 900.
Highway building over the
country is to be given additiona
impetus, as the result of assistance
offered by the federal government.

ANAT0NE /. S. TEAM
DEFEATS LOCALS
Fastest Game Ever Seen in
Kenerick Gymnasium

Did you see the game with Ana
tone last Friday night? In spite OF
the late hour, the terrible weather
and the fact that gasoline lamps had
to be used, there was small crowd
of very enthusiastic onIookers, who
witnessed one of the fastest games
ever played on our floor.
We lost, yes, by small score, but
the AnatOne huskles averaged about
thirty pounds to the man heavier
than our men. Despite this fact,
our team held the lead until the
very end.
line game was called about 9:15,
the line up of the kendrick team
being as follows: Edgar DammareII.
center; Claude Stanton and Egnaz
Flag, forwards; George and Frank
Brooke, guards. The comparative
sizes of the two teams made Kend-
rlck's chance for winning look very
small before the game started,
however, the ball rolled through
the Kendrlck basket IN about the
first minute of play. 1t was almost
five minutes before another goat
was made. Anatope played the five
man defense, but the speed of the
Kendrick boys was much fast too tor
them, so we were able to hold the
lead throughout the first half, the
score being 7 to 6.
The second half was started with
Merit Smith as guard in the place
of frank Brooke. who was unable
to continue playing because of q
sore neck. Aantone came back
strong. but was unable to stop the
fast playing of the Kendrick five:
and the score quickly mounted to
10 to 13 IN favor of Kendrick. The
lead was maintained until the last
three minutes of playing. when q
combination OF luck and pep gave
Anatone three baskets in succession.
Our team was unable to overcome
the lead thus gained, and the game
ended with a score OF II to ID IN
favcr of Anatone.
Three of the Kendr'ck players did
exceptionally we'll, each equaling
or excellng Anatone's best player
throughout the entire game. We
are encouraged by this and we are
very determined to win the game
that is scheduled with TROY for to-
: night. 1t will probably be the hard
est game of the season, for Troy,
too, is determined to return home
victorious. They are, and have
t been for some time, our keenest
!. rivals in the basket ball world, and
we are therefore greatly interested
r in the result of this game. Troy
. had strong team last year and US.

e saw our game, you may be assured

4 win tonight's game.

WAY
Black Sheep Sometimes Appear
Among White Flocks

The appearance of black lambs In
a flock made up entirely of white
sheep has been for ages and is still
a cause for wonder and the basis of
superstitions. But the study of the
laws of breeding and heredity has ex-
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance of these off-color' speci-
mems, according to bulletin of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Feeding and management of sheep
have nothing to do with the appear
ance of black lambs. The black
color is hereditary even though 1t may
be transmitted by ordinary white
sheep. The black color In such a case
Is what is called recessive character.
White sheep which transmit this char
acter at all transmit black in 80 per
cent of their reproductive cells and
white in the remaining so per cent.
Thus, such white sheep mated with
blacks-which can only transmit
black-produce 80 per cent black
lambs and 80 per cent white. All of
these white lambs can transmit black.
White sheep which transmit only
whites, mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs, but all of these
lambs can transmit black. When both
eve and ram are white, but both
transmit black, about 25 per cent of
the lambs are black, 30 per cent are
white which transmit black, while the
ing whites

Why Britain Values the Bahamas.

The Bahamas are chain Of coral
islands generally grouped with the
West Indies. They belong to Great
Britain. The group includes 20
islands and $50 islets. but only about
20 are Inhabited. The coral rock is
porous, retaining moisture, hence the
soil that has accumulated is very fer
tile. The islands produce maize, cot
ton, sisal hemp, pineapples. oranges,
lemons, olives, tamarinds, and other
sub-tropical fruits. Large quantities
of spOnges are taken from the sur
rounding seas. The principal exports
are sponges, fruits and sisal fiber. To
matoes are being extensively cult
waited and shipped to the United States.
Mahogany, lignum-vitae, mastic, IRON
wood, ebony, lockwood and satinwood
are found throughout the islands. The
fiber exported In 1920 had a value of
about half million dollars.

Why Obituarist Resigned.

The late Archie l.. Williams, for
many years general attorney for the
Union Pacific, was a chief obituarist
of the Middle West whenever a not
able died. Capper's Weekly states. On
one occasion he wrote a column or
more about an old friend who had
died and concluded 1t: LET us pause
and on his bier drop tear" A
drunken printer thought he could I'M
prove 1t so he set 1t up: Let US pause
and on his bier drop tear or two"
The proofreader, also sOused. decided
1t was up to him to add something so
he made 1t read: "Let us pause and on
his bier drop tear or two, or per-
haps three" When the "obit" came
out in the paper that way Archie re-
signed as obituarist.

THE HOME-LOVINC
INSTINCT

The desire to own a home is
one of the most natural instincts of
every man, and no matter if he has
spent his entire life in rented
house he knows that the rented
house can never become a real home
in the highest, truest sense. No
family can ever acquire that deep
seated regard and affection for a
rented house that is naturally de-
veloped toward home which they
own. What incentive is there for
man to preserve or adorn or en-
bellish rented house, when he
knows that any day his landlord
may order him to vacate?
But when the place which shell
tiers him and his loved ones i,
their own, when no one has the
right to raise his rent or order him
to move out, then the place, how
ever, lowly or humble it may be, is
indeed home. Then every men,
Der of the family becomes inspired
with love for the place in which
they live; they become interested in
its adornment and identifying
every tree and flower and shrub
which they add to the place, every
new day they live there, adds to
the tender, loving associations en-
twined about it, until home becomes
one of the sweetest words in human
speech.
The season of BODYBUILDING is
here. Conditions have shifted
around to the point where it is
again possible for a man to erect
a house without the chance OF
losing heavily on the investment
So, to the Winnemucca citizen who
has for the past several years post
poned the erection of home on
account of the condition of the
lumber and labor market, we car
truly express the belief that now
right now, is the time he has been
waiting for-the time to start work
on a home of his own-the time tc
liberate himself from the clutches
of a landlord.
