Many Miles Built In 1921.
The Lincoln Highway Association,
which has been promoting the deyel-
opment of the cross country road
since 1913. has just compiled the rec
ords of the eleven States and nine
ty-sIx counties traversed and an
nounces that improvements In 1871
surpass in extent the work accomp-
hshed during any. other year in the
history OF the roads development.
Three hundred and ninety-seven
..miles of new construction were
completed at a cost of $7,T37,413.
Maintenance during 1921 cost the
States and counties S1,735.433, so
that the total amount expended on
Lincoln Way betterment was So
472.906. The additional mileage i'm
proved last year represents IL per
cent of the total mileage.
The association reports the 1921
accomplishments in each of the
States crossed by the Lincoln High
way and the conditions which will
be encountered by transcontinental
tourists Of 1922 as follows:
New Jersey.
New Jersey completed rs miles
of the highest type of reinforced
concrete pavement. twenty-nine
feet wide, at a cost of s756,6
This leaves but fifteen miles of old
macadam to be replaced, Ave of
which the State proposes to con-
struct this year. The maintenance
on this fifteen miles of old macadam
in 1891 cost 1921, 94S, or S7,91S per
mile. New Jerseys sixty miles Of
Lincoln Highway receives the heavi-
est traffic of any section of the
route. A detour will be necessary
during most of 1922 between High
Hand Park and Metuchen. where the
new construction will be under way.
Other than this, the route will be
open from Jersey City to Trenton.
Pennsylvania.
In October. 1921, the Pennsyl-
vania State highway department
completed and opened with elab-
crate ceremonies a twenty mile
stretch Of concrete between Gettys-
burg and Chambersburg. which
eliminated the troublesome detour
of near seventy miles which aggra-

California.
The route of the Lincoln Highway
across California is, with the ex-

the Sierra Nevada Mountains, paved
in its entirety. Last year the State
spent $239,424 in general mainte-

ANGLERS OPPOSE
FISHING BILL
Bourbon County Sportsmen Oppose
Measure For Closed Season On
Angling April-June
TERMED CLASS LEGISLATION

Evidently some of the people in
the State think they have moth
ing to do but frame up legislation of
the ''freak" order, many of them
tending to curtail some privilege or
liberty which the great common peo-
pie are supposed to enjoy. :
One of these is the bill recently
introduced placing a closed season on
fishing in the streams of Kentucky
from April 20 to June 1. The
sportsmen of Bourbon county, those
who really enjoy fishing, are up in
arms over the proposed measure,
which they take to be in the interest
of special classes as against the
masses, and are going to do all in
| their power to defeat it's passage.
One of the most prominent anglers
of the county submits the following
protest against the bill, which (the
protest) will meet with the approval
! of all right-thinking sportsmen:
1-Fishing begins about April l..
Who wants to fish during the hot
summer months?
2-The provisions of this bill
would take the pleasure away from
the poor for the possible selfish ben
eft of the richer classes.
3-Nine anglers will be against
the amendment where one can be
found in favor of it.
At will be of no benefit due to
the rising and falling of streams.
| 5-1-1000 per cent. of the fish
Matched in these streams do not stay
there.
6-Why do they seine hatcheries?
To keep them from getting too thick
with small fish. That will be the
case in the streams if they cut out
angling from April 20 to June 1,
just at the time the fish bite to do
any good.
Tt is up to every angler in the
State to get after his Representative
and State Senator to help defeat
this amendment.
S-The amendment reads: "To
stop fishing in all streams of the
State from April 20 to June IL
Let's all get busy, and join together
in order to defeat this amendment,
which is plainly framed in the inter-
est of special classes. Fishing should
not be denied all law-abiding people
who enjoy it.

Show They Seek Other and Build
Up Powerful Farmer Machine That They Alone Can Boss

There may have been, and there may be, need for
state and national federations of farmers, to be
representative as nearly as possible of farmers
in every state, and to combine in organization
the influence and power of the various older and
local or state farmer organizations. The Nonpar-
tisan league sought to do that far as political
organization was concerned It might be good
thing, too, for purposes other than political. But
the Nonpartisan league sought to absorb
weed out and supplant the older farmer organiza-
tions that had so long and faithfully served the
farmers. Not at all. The members of the League
practically all belong to one more of the older
farm organizations. The League, working for
better political representation for farmers, has
interferred with, fought antagonzed or less
ened the Importance of the older organizations or
their leaders.
Not so the American Farm Bureau federation
From the start leaders of that organization sought
to hold it aloof from the older organizations unless
there chance of absorbing them. Instead of
cooperating with them and thus federating and
using existing machinery, allowing old leaders to
remain, they have tried to build up entirely
NEW farmer machine, which they EXCLUSIVELY
could boss, and which would make them the
shadowing leaders Of American farmers-to the
exclusion of all the older organizations and leaders,
except when the older leaders would bow down and
"be good" Such policy'is wrong and vicious. It
is the rock on which the Farm Bureau movement
is being wrecked. Let us hope it doesn't take the
local Bureaus down with it,
But my proof-you want that rather than my
conclusions.
The case of Pennsylvania is one of the most con-
spicuous in the entire country. In that state the
organized farmers nearly all belong to the Grange
The Pennsylvania state Grange is so powerful that.
it has for some time been disassociated from the
