GOLF BALLS AND
RAAnG

Behold the little golf ball. You pound
it with big clubs and little clubs, iron
clubs and steel clubs. Hit it when it
is wet and when it is dry in all sorts
of conditions and weather. Yet 1t
never loses shape. never breaks, and
always retains its Yesiliencyt
A good lesson in road building car
be CLEANED from a study Of the golf
ball. They must undergo the anne sort
of treatment in the same general con-
ditions. The hard surfaced road that
has no shock absorbing base or year
ing surface, disintegrates years be-
fore it is time, under modern traffic
conditions.
There was a time when the mere
building Of a hard surfaced road was
deemed as the only necessary step
forward. Now we find the real pro-
blem in road building to be the main
tenance cost per mile Of hard surfaced
road. AS costs continually mount into
hundreds of dollars a mile the pro-
blem becomes more serious. The hard
surfaced roads of the future must
have a surface that stands the gaff
like the golf ball. How ong would a
stone golf ball last?

COUNTRY PRESS M
NOT SO BAD.

The humor of the country press is
the real American hnmor because it
is the hrmor of the mass-of the 80
per cent of the people who inhabit the
United States, rural or city.
The hnmOr of the city press, such
hnmor as you see in the columnists'
columns, is CYNICAL-it ia Wit, not
humor at all. 1t does not appeal to
the people ever in the cities-only to
the higher brows whose somewhat bet
ter education than the masses makes
them for the peppers and highly
favored sances of journalistic liters-
tnreA
The cynics who write city newspa-
per columns" and who run city news
paper editorial pages think that the
quiet, quaint, chuckling humor Of the
country press is ridiculous and they
occasionally reprint a bit of it with
the same cynicism that they use in
everything else they do.
The American Falls Press likes the
humor Of the country Press and would
rather have one ounce of it than a
ton of the city wit. We like its quaint
ness because it is Humankind Amer
ican-not inhuman and foreign like
your Sun Dial" and Linotype" and
others of the city Press.
Brain Throbs" that appears in the
American Falls Press, is original with
two American Falls boys. They sit
up until the late hours every Monday
night pounding out "Thumps' for their
Brain Throbs" columns.
The Press could print any number
of syndicated columns, prepared by
city scribes for country readers. But
believe us, the syndicated stuff doesn't
compare with Brain Tnrobs" for
wholesomeness, originality and real
humor.

Sheriff Hanson took complaints and
other papers prepared by the county
attorney and presumed to be neces-
sary for bringing the Conarroes back
to Power County from Canada, and
proceeded last week to Edmonton.
From Edmonton he Travelled $50 miles
into the country and located his men.
He returned them to Edmonton and
when he appeared before the Cana
dian Magistrate there he found his pa
pers were insufficient to permit of
the extradition of his captives.
The good magistrate kindly set n
other hearing for July and told the
sheriff that he might return to Amer
lean get new papers and affidavits
and evidence and present it before
the Canadian Court after which he
might bring his men home, provided
the evidence was sufficiently strong.
The county spent $500 at least to find
out that the prosecuting attorney had
not properly presented the county's
case to the Canadian magistrates. II

NEWSPAPER

Lee Al White, of the Detorit News.
after long investigation, finds that
daily newspapers make only one error
in every $3.50 opportunities for mis-
takes. This country recently cele-
brated the anniversary OF the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock and
history has pointed out the very spot
where they landed. Now a scientist
discovers that Ut the time the Pilgrims
landed this spot was under sea. Which
leads Mr.. White to ask, eff history
cannot report a fact correctly in 300
years. ought we expect a newspaper to
be unfailingly accurate in 6 or 5
