HIGHWAY BODY
TO SELL SEVEN
STEEL BRIDGES
Discarded Structures to BE
Disposed of at Public
Auction.

The State highway commission will
sell at public auction on Monday, March
20, seven steel bridges, according to an
nouncement today by Lawrence Lyons,
department director.
All these bridges are on the east end
Of the National road and were RACED by
the highway department when the road
was hard surfaced. They are located
over distance Of approximately twenty
seven miles beginning at quarter Of a
mile west of Lewisville and running
thence west to Greenfield. New secitica-
lions by which the National road was
built necessitated removing these struc-
lures, and the highway department has
dismantled the bridges and match
marked them.
According to Mr.. Lyons a member of
the commission will act as auctioneer.
The first sale will start at 8 o'clock in
the morning at the bridge site near
Lewisville. AS fast as a bridge is dis
posed of the auctioneer win drive ON to
the next bridge and continue the sale un-
til final disposition is made. Bridges

ment show the largest structure In for

If any Of the bridges are sold for
amounts under 500, the terms are cash
on amounts over 500 cash payment of
500 must be made; balance to be paid
before the material is moved. Farmers
who desire bridges over private streams
and county commissioners who are con-

find in these structures excellent oppor-

Robinson Crusoe. Il didn't get the bell

At that moment, the beu-cord snapped
and the baker. who had just given the
handle a dreadful yank, fell over back
wards and rolled down the hill to the
beach.
"Mr. Crusoe's not at home" said the
butcher" SO he and the candle stick
maker went down to the shore and Joined
the baker; and then all three got into
the tub and sailed away.
"And we must do the same said
Puss Junior. Tom Thumb and / thank

why don't you fish, cried Captain Puss
Junior. So Tom Thumb started in, and
presently he felt a tremendous tug on
the line.

cried. and then he began pulling in his
line as fast as he could But. oh dear
mel It wasn't fish, after all but

Don't you pull on that line any
more" cried the whale, IF you do I'll
smash your boat"
"Oh, is that So" said little Tom
Thumb, although, Of course, he was
frightened almost to death, but what
WIS the use TO show fear7 II would
only make things worse, aud II he put
on bold front. perhaps the whale
would let him alone.
"I'll take the hook out Of your nose,

said little Tom Thumb.
"All right said the whale, and then
Tom tried to pun It out. But It was
