Road building is declared by the
United States bureau of public roads
TO be one of the nations largest indus
tries. 1t estimates that in 1922 more
than one million men were employed
in building and maintaining the coun-
try's highways, as compared with 600, =
900 men employed in the steel and the
iron industry and 10000 men engag-
ed in making, selling and repairing
automobiles.
True, the tax problems on account
of highway construction have assumed
alarming proportions in sections of
this state in the past five years. This
condition is not true with us. how
ever. Shoshone county throughout
this period has kept both feet on the
ground. and is today in financial shape
TO enter into this project without add

Will do more for the prosperity com

many things fought over in presiden-
tial campaigns.
1t is the duty of public officials in
spending public funds to consider the
interest Of the taxpayer; it is to the
interest of the taxpayer to assist their
officials in any program which will

You will find at the county auditors

struction in Shoshone county. This

The trend toward cooperation in
building is the natural re-
suit of the increased range of travel |

Heart of a Tree
(Author unknown)

What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh
For song a MOTHERHOOD of bird
In hushed and happy twilight
heard.
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again,
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessings on the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of His hand
Holds all the growth of all our
land.
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

FOG MACHINES TO
Be USED BY ANNA
Henry Sharp at Work on New
Effects for Ince.

A series of elaborate experiments
are being conducted by Henry Sharp,
Thomas H. Ince's cameraman, to
work out some new fog effects for the
screening OF the big fog scene in
Anna Christie" Eugene O'Neill's
stage play, which Ince will put into
production within a few-weeks.
The old fog machines which blew
cloud of silver dust in front OF the
grinding cameras have been discarded
more recently in favor Of smoke pots.
which give a good effect when used
on sets" but are impractical for out
door scenes made on location.
For use in scenes which will be
made on the ocean in the new Ince
production, Sharp has worked out a
special lighting system by which peo-
pie and objects will be sharply enough
outlined so that the action of the pic
ture is evident, but at the same time
the shadows will be dimmed to give a
novel hazy effect. For other scenes
a SilOhC IVA Ol BASS AtANO WAAIAA
cigarette smoke is blown will be used.
The scene in the fog which occurs
in Anna Christie" carries one of the
big punches" of the play. and has
been staged so beautifully that 1t has
won the greatest praise from dramatic
critics. In reproducing it on the
screen, however, the greatest care
must be taken to make it evident that
the dim effect shown has been pur-
posely staged and is not the result Of
poor photography.

chosen to direct the production Of

D HE NEW DAY has arrived in
