Letters to the Editor

To the Editor of the Journal-Miner
 Sir: You no doubt have noticed much about the national highway program of the American Automobile association. l have just read an ar ticle which l think has not been given publicity in Yavapai county. If you can find space for 1t some time, I know the public will read it with interest since the recent great revival on the subject of roads This article shows the keenest interest in the cooperation of different states and communities with each other in connecting up their roads so that all may be on main long line through the best centerS of the country. Prescott cannot afford to overlook her chance to be in harmony with any movement that will give her a connecting line with either of the east and west primary" roads run ming through the two ends Of Ari- zona.
 Towns and communities which now are belittied for lack of popula- ton and business activity, may be greatly improved by a proper har- mony with this great highway move ,,,op+ Evar1y co,,,,,,,,,,;+,r ;,, N,,oo, county can greatly benefit from this great highway system by making all effort to throw united spirit be- hind the proper north and south con- meeting line between the two great east and west roads that must pass through Arizona, and then working and building feeder roads from every section to the county seat, Prescott and to other points on the main north and south road; which is simi- lar to what is being done all over the United States, as this article shows.
 Sincerely yours,
 ELI s. PERKINS.
 CThe article which Mir. Perkins sends is lengthy and deals with the youngest organization for fostering transcontinental road building. It is called the Lee Highway association and 1t advocates the construction of a cross-country highway to connect with San Diego. In starting the article declares that all though this is the motor age" and the automobile has come to be the vehicle for which all road construc- ton is designed, there has never been a successful movement to enable the motorist to drive from one coast to the other without a halt ill all sorts of weather and at all seasons of the year. The route mapped by ,hc Lee association would be an all year highway and it is hoped to in tereSt the states it travcrses in a plan to build and maintain the thorough fare-Editor.)

The united States civil service
comnaission stated today that there
have Ssen brought to its attention
misleading advertising circulars
and newspaper advertisements OF
certain so-called civil service
schools.
In these circulars and advertise
ments, information is- given that q
railway postal clerk examination Is
soon to be held. The commission
states that no such examination
has been announced and that It Is
not known at this time when it
will be necessary to hold an exam
nation Of the kind. When one Is to
be held it will be duly announced.
Many Of these so-called civil SER
vice schools, said the commission,
recruit considerable part Of their
clientele among young people Of
limited education in rural commun-
ities, who fall easy victims to allur-
ing statements regarding railway
postal clerk and other positions in
the government service and ex-
trsyagant claims as to the advan-
tages Of training with the SO called
schools. $50,
TIE commission points out that
definfte and authentic information
regarding pending examinations
may always be obtained from any
Of its local representatives or by
writing direct to the o1ice Of the
commission at Washington, d. c.

Present Pavlowa Cup.

When Anna PavlOWa made ner
farewell appearance in America
last spring, from among all our ma
tive dancers Miss Ruth St. Denis
was chosen to present the Russian
dancer with a loving cup in token
of the appreciation and love the
leading dancers in this country had
for Pavlowa. The reason Miss St.
Denis, who, with Mr.. Shawn and
their company Of dancers will ap-
pear here at the Columbia Dec. ~
and 13, was chosen for the honor
was because it was decided that of
all dancers she was the one who
had made the greatest contribution
to the art Of original dancing in
America. In fact, Miss st. Denis
was the first person in the world to
interpret and create Hindu and
Egyptian dances for occidental pub
lies.

million dollars for 1921, and this

has also been made for government

from Canada to the West Indies and
Central America.
"Aust ALA has a government own
ed merchant marine. New Zealand
contributes to the support of the line
to British Columbia and also TO the
maintenance Of line to San Fran
cisco.
France kept up a ship bounty
system prior to the war and during
the war had goverment-owned
merchant marine. The ships have
been sold to private concerns and the
government is paying 57,500,0OO
francs in subventions this year.
Italy has used various bounties
and subventions for many years and
for the current year is paying 240,-
100000 lire for subventions and
46S, 7OO,0 900 lire for construction
bounties.
HOLLAND subsidies lines operat-
ing TO the East Indies and pays mail
subvertions to transatlantic and
South American lines.
Spain pays an operating subsidy
to a company operating trans-Atlan-
tic lines, based on a specified rate
per mile, and also large subsidies to
lines operating to African ports.
Germany utilized mail subven-
tons almost exclusively prior to the
war and built up an extensive mer-
chant marine under that system.
Since the war the German govern
ment has paid twelve billion marks
to reimburse the shipping industry
for its wartime or treaty-imposed
losses.
g In view of the policies pursued by
the other leading maritime nations it
is difficult to understand how any
one can expect merchant marine to
be operated under the American
flag without some sort of govern
ment assistance, especially since it is
notorious that costs of operation are
greater i'm the United States than
elsewhere"

Michigan Horses
Win at Ohio Fair

Competing against the pick OF the
Middle Wet i'm draft horse type,
Michigan entries, owned by the state
agricultural college, won premier
honor at the Ohio State Fair, last
week.
The NJ. A. G.. herd, frequently re-
ferred TO by authorities in the live
stock world as the "best college-own-
ed draft horse herd in America"
continued its sensational winnings of
former years, and added new laurels
to its string at the Buckeye exhibit.
"The competition was unusually
keen at Ohio" says Ralph $. Hudson,
superintendent of the college heard.
"In many classes the show compared
very favorably with International ex-
hibits at Chicago, the best Of the
various breeds being represented. In
view Of the fact, feel that Michigan
farmers have right to be justly
proud Of the showing made by our
local horses"
First prize, two year old, Junior
Championship, and Grand Champion
ship Belgian Mare fell to Betty d
Camille, of the M. A. G. string.
Jupiter, the M. A. c. Belgian stall
lion, finished second in his class,
while third place four year old mare,
fifth three year old mare, and third
for stallion with three mares also
came back to Michigan in the Belgian
classes.
latte ii, four year old Percheron
mare, finished first in her field,
while Librite, new NJ. A. c. three
year old stallion, was beaten only by
the famous Gerome, a son Of Laet,
last years international Champion.
Third place three year old Percheron
mare and other high honors were al
20 included in the list Of winnings.
The M. A. c. herd is being shown
at the Michigan State Fair at Detroit
this week.
