A deep sea salt and an ocean rover.

And watch the stars. from the foretop

With salt spray flying. the salt wind shrek

The white wake boiling. the steel plates

But out at sea. out at sea together.
Salt sea-lovers in the salt sea weather
COR it's you that know how the great deep
calls you.
And that have no fear Of what fate befalls
you.
So well walk the decks where the salt
spume hisses.
With the smack of salt in our care-free kisses.

This is the advice of the Bureau
Of Roads in the Department of Agri-
culture.
Officials Of the bureau will not say
that Indiana is making a mistake in
voting a huge bond issue for public
road improvements at this time. The
bureau has taken no position on road
improvements such as Herbert Hoover
took with relation to Government
building. Yet it was admitted that
materials used in building are those
used In road construction and the
high prices prevailing in each field.

But" said c. D. Curtiss. assistant
chief of the road bureau, 1T may be
true also that failure to improve
roads will cost the farmers more IN

Curtiss pointed TO Investigations
made in Iowa, where he said It was
established that transportation costs
attributed to poor roads would have
paid the entire charge for road i'm

THE reports from State I.egisla-
lures show there is a tendency to
slow down in some States now" said
curtiss. The bureau has taken no
position on that subject. however.

From Panama the route would ex-
