FEDERAL-AIO HIGHWAY WORK
Texas Leads in Mileage With 1,116.4 Miles, With Minnesota Ranking
 Close Second.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Measuring the network of federal aid highways spread over the country during the past years, the bureau of public roads, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, places their total length, January last, at 2S,741.6 miles, and their cost at approximately $500, 100000. The figures represent 12,007 miles of completed roads over which traffic is flowsng today and 15,S34 miles that date estimated to be, as a whole, 70 per cent complete.
 In mileage of completed federal-aid roads, Texas leads with a total of 1,116.4 miles. In addition there were under construction in Texas on Janu ary total of 1.3S1.9 miles of federal aid highways whose estimated cost was nearly S22,O00,Oco. Minnesota ranked second, with 1,O66.6 miles, in the amount of completed federal-aid high ways, the cost of the system being slightly over S1O,OOO,OOO. Of that sum tHe leuerdl government palu S0,Sio,OOo. In Minnesota there were under con- struction the first of the year 1912 miles of federal-aid highways whose estimated cost was placed at $10,055, 757. Other states with comparatively large mileages of completed federal-aid highways on January 1 were:
 Illinois, 7229 miles costing S24,60S.- 95S, of which S11, ,221, ,464 was paid by the federal government; Nebraska, 6S2.7 miles costing S3,627, ,767, of which the federal government paid S1, ,735, 763 Wisconsin, 500.6 miles costing 6702,- 100; Arkansas, 1882 miles costing S5, 5,14S,0S0; Georgia, 633.4 miles costing S11,017, ,39O; Iowa, 422.4 miles costing S7,969, ,9S1; North Carolina, 419.1 miles costing S5.641, ,733; Idaho, 4O1.1 miles costing S6.572.552; and Washington, 3549 miles costing SS,0S1,2 ,2S5.

BOXING CLASSES FOR
 BOYS GAINING FAVOR
Plan Was Inaugurated in Aus
 traIia During the War.
Schoolmasters Claim That System Develops keener Perception in Pupils and Lads Learn to
 Control Their Tempers.

Why not have boxing classes for boys in the graded schools of this country?
 A few of the big colleges have taken 1t up, and with success, but lit tie encouragement has been given to the suggestions that the public schools and some high schools take it up and teach the boys how to box. A few years ago, or during the war, K. l.. "Snow" Baker, manager of the big stadium in Sydney, where all the big boxing matches are held, took it upon himself to establish boxing classes for all schools as preliminary to train- ing the young men for the army. It was very successful and many of the schools took it up as regular course for the boys. The department of education in Sydney, Australia, made the following report regarding the progress made with boxing in the schools:
 "The scheme for the teaching of boxing in schools introduced by the minister for education, Mir. Nutch, un der the supervision of Hector Mel vile, has met with tremendous success during the short period 1t has been on trial. Reports to and from the various headmasters of schools where the scheme has been introduced speak very highly of Mir Melville's system.
 ''The headmasters claim that the system. has developed in the pupils a keener perception, a greater energy ai.J, generally speaking, decided i'm. provement, both mentally and phys. ically.
 Tt was recognized by the minister that boxing Is a clean, healthful sport when properly handled. Schoolmas- ters who, at the inception of the scheme, held the opinion that boxing was not desirable. have now altered their views entirely, and have noth- ing but the highest terms of praise for 1t. This speaks for itself when one considers the short period during which the system has been on trial Mir. Melville intends submitting this new scheme for organization through out the state for the current year fo. ministerial approval"

FOOTBALL IS ANCIENT GAME
Experts Discover From Ancient Writ. ings That Pastime Was Played
 About 697 B. c.

Football a modern game? Well, some of the experts who delight in delving into the musty past, assert that the Japs played football about 697 B. C., which, If true, would make the game rather ancient.
 From ancient writings found in Korea 1t is learned that the Japanese, during the reign of Emperor Chiang TT, of the Han dynasty, played foot ball. The ball itself was made of leather and stuffed with goats hair. The clothing of the players was made of silk, heavily padded and only Japa- nese of the bluest blood were allowed to play.
 The ancient writings indicate that football at this early stage was no ladies' game. It was rough anu ac- cording to the investigators when the game was introduced in the army the military officials protested because so many of the soldiers were injured. It finally was barred out as an army ex. ercise.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else bun Rioney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita. ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Advertisemen

HIS CRITICISM RATHER HASTY

A few weeks ago I was invited to dine with a couple of old schoolmates who had been married for some time. l was asked to bring friend who had also attended school with us.
 The dinner looked appetiZing, and was progressing smoothly with all of us in good spirits.
 Suddenly, Jack, my married friend, turned to his wife and said: "Vera, what's the matter with these bis cults"
 She made some sort of reply, where upon he answered they were not fit 10 eat, that his mother could do bet ter baking, and asked who baked them.
 Vera, with an injured expression, answered: "Why, Jack, dear, your mother sent them over this evening" |"

THERE WAS THAT POSSIBILITY
And Virginia Lad Might Have Seen Something of the Sort Happen
 Occasionally.

A Virginian, recently elected judge and feeling keenly the responsibilities of his exalted position, was coming on horseback along a road in remote section of his district. He saw a smoke on a hillside.
 "Boy." he said to lad who was loafing alongside the road, ''is that smoke up there from a still?"
 "Yes, sir, reckon it is," the boy replied.
 "What are they making up there?"
 Might be maxim some apple brandy"
 The judge jumped from his horse. Here, boy" he said, ''hOld this horse. Pm going up there and stop that. They can't flout the law in that manner in my district"
 The boy took the reins and the judge climbed the fence and started toward the smoke. After he had gone a few steps the boy shouted:
 "Oh, mister!"
 "What is it?" asked the judge.

Dwight Ice Cream company OF
Trinidad, Colo, have effected q
merger and adopted a program of
expansion which will include the
installation Of a modern refrigerat-
ing plant and ice cream machine

the Dwight concern in Trinidad
for several years. is now in charge
and will have the general manage

Denver, an experienced man in his
line, will superintend the manu-

here and is busily engaged in in
stalling new equipment.
Work was begun on an extension
to the present creamery building
to accommodate the expanded ope-
rations. A modern ice cream ma
chine has been received, but is not
yet in place. An ice making ma
chine and other equipment is on
the way. The enlarged establish e
ment will be ready for full ope-

"a DOLLS HOUSE" is
FOR EVERY WOMAN; NOW
AT THE PASTIME THEAIER

That "a Dolls House" the great
Ibsen drama which has been pop
ularized in this country by Nazi-
nova, the Russian actress, ana
whose film version of which, made
for United Artists corporation, is
being repeated today at the Pastime
theater, is a picture that every
woman and every girl, every nus
band and every young man, should
see. There isn't the least bit of
doubt about that.
For when Ibsen, the great Nor
wegian dramatist, wrote into "A
Dolls House" the story of Nora, the
dollwife of a placid and self-satis-
fled husband. he foresaw the de-
velopment Of woman into her pres
ent day status, her present place
in the world; he foresaw with re-
markable vision the day when wo-
! men would no longer be either
mere love making machines or dis
Icarded and worthless fragments Of
humanity; he knew that women
would strive and conquer. And his
Nora, the chief feminine chara cter
