try and after they had exhibited their
wares in Chicago the wise ones de-
clared they would not do. Franklin
tried in vain to get matches for his
men with the top notcherS, but failed
and finally to convince him of his
error, Joe Coffey of Chicago agreed to
let Martinson meet the three Hindoos
and said he would throw the trio In
an hours time. Franklin grabbed at
the offer and thought he had q cinch,
but Martinson lived UP to his man
ayers opinion and pinned the Shout
ders of all three men to the mat in
less than an hour. That was the last
heard of the Hindoos, and won for
Martinson the cognomen OF 'Hindoo
Killer" It also demonstrated his
wonderful strength and speed as the
HindooS were quick as cats, but
lacked knowledge of the catch-as-
catch game.
Eustace is the idol of Kansas wres-
thing devotees, and all remember the
wonderful exhibition he gave with
Champion Zbyszko in Kansas City
last fall, losing only after a hard
fought and highly exciting contest.
Tickets were placed on sale today
at the Fashion shop, the Brunswick

the day. Everything points to q big
house, and arrangements have been
completed to handle a bumper crowd.

FEDERAL AID ROADS.

When the government appropriates s190.000o00 for the purpose of aiding In the construction of highways 1t is of course necessary for the respective states to appropriate a like sum for sim Tar work That is one of the require ments in connection with federal aid, and inasmuch as each state must rec ognize it's participation in the provision of the federal money it is but natural that each should make up it's mind 10 get such benefit in return as it is just iy entitled to.
 Federal participation in the building of highways Is for the purposs ,-- en- couraging those states which are not ,n- clined to do as much in that direction as the demands for improved roads re- luire. And yet inasmueh as most every state is in need of more and better roads and inasmuch as they are certain to be making some appropriations at least for road work the advantage of making the most of the government as- Eistance cannot be wisely disregarded. When 1t is possible to get the govern nent to duplicate a state appropriation lp to a certain amount it is folly for a rAdLt lb uAa4 e6dIu Ailc CIidilEe anu per nit the money to go to other common Vealths.
 Whatever restrictions are imposed in connection with the government aid dc not stand in the way of better roads When it is insisted that the state must Ieep the federal aid roads in a proper Eate of repair it is of course insisting upon something that is for the best :n- terests of the state. In the first place lt calls for the building of a road that will last more than one season. It may hot mean the putting down of as many miles of road but it will mean the building of a lasting roadhed the ex- pense of maintaining which will be much less than as If 1t was of cheap and hon durable type, and whatever lends encouragement to the laying of the per- manent type of road and the protection of it by adequate restrictions after il ts laid will work out in the end as a big relief to the cost of maintenance Thus the state that builds we'll doubly serves its own interests, and should be Rppreciative of the insistence of the government in this respect.

Thousands of them have graduated from the United States and Canada, South America, South AfCica and Europe. where. while serving as cooks or laundrymen. restaurateurs, shopkeepers or lottery magnates, they have in some measure absorbed western ways and ideas.
