Give kid dog you've furnished him playmate
Always true and faithful be;
Lover companion, loyal night-and-day mate
Full of affection and of glee.
Give the kid a dog be it airedale, bull OF collie,
Ready for a romp for jog,
Tail forever wagging in a manner that is jolly

Golden-hearted glamor in a brute
There's guide and warder who will YOUR mind of worry
One with quick intelligence agog;

Lincoln way work In 1922. The road
is the most important in the state and
is rapidly nearing completion. The
only serious need for improvement re-
naming is on that section immediate

involves an entirely aew location and
new bridge, together with an over
head crossing of the Union Pacific
railroad. This will be undertaken in
1923. at cost of $4,000. and when
completed will open the last link in a

no service to through traffic seeking
northern California. The condition of
the Lincoln highway in one county of
western Utah is now the only remain

the TWO coasts. The desert link in
the Lincoln way, which the associa

years to open, is still at the mercy of
the elements. 1t must be remembered
that the Salt Lake desert is not a
vast area. 1t is but seventeen miles

Nevada.
Lincoln highway Improvement in
the Sagebrush state Is proceeding
very satisfactorily. With the aid of
funds contributed by the Lincoln
Highway Association to assist the
counties and the state in meeting
federal aid. every indication points
to the completion of the route across
Nevada by the end of 1924. Contracts
now in force between the Lincoln
Highway Association and the Nevada
department of highways call for the
completion of seventy three miles of
the route at total estimated cost
OF 100000 by the 1st of June. 1924.
These contracts involve $4,000 of the
associations funds, this sum being
held in escrow in Reno. Although
the Lincoln Highway Association has
extended financial assistance to Ne
vada in the sum of $4,000, an
amount which commands for the state
from the federal Treasury close to
half a million dollars
Last year Nevada completed forty-
eight miles on the Lincoln highway
at cost of $435.17123. This work
included the completion of the noto-
rious twelve miles of Fallon sink. in

California.
California completed the grading of
eighteen miles on the Lincoln way
between Colfax and Auburn last year
and accomplished about two miles of
new paving work, including an over
head railroad crossing near Oakland.
In 1928 the route from Auburn to
Colfax will be paved with concrete.
Some paving may also be done east
of Placerville, on the route south of
Lake Tahoe. Both of these sections
of the Lincoln way are on the Cali
fornia federal aid system, and both
will ultimately be paved to the Ne
vada line. Both routes are kept in
very fair condition, pending perma-
nent improvement, and no difficulties
need be anticipated by the through
tourist in the Sierras. New construc-
ton on the Lincoln way cost Califor-
mia $68,529.50 last year and mainte-
nance on 31S miles cost $187, 1898, or
an average of $58S.SG per mile.

pitfall that may await the party if it
cannot organize so as to head off ex-
pected attempts to restore excess pro-
fits taxes and to tax undisturbed sur

These later, the senator said, may
be forced because the new congress

one was not passed.
He emphasized the Importance of
eentralizing the Misunderstanding ad-

paganda was sent unsigned from Madi-
son, Callahan said, leaving the impress
sion that Callahan's Office had sent it.
Callahan declared he had never seen
it before.
Callahan also declared that the state
board of normal school regents had
been sending out much literature
against the bill, and said that he had
done nothing in connection with the
bill except to ask several educators in
the state what they thought about it.

NEW RECORD
SET BY FORD
Sells 116,O8O Fords During
Month of February =
New Record.
SHORTEST MONTH TOO

Detroit, Mich.-With 116,080 Ford
cars sold at retail in February a new
record for the shortest month in the
year, has been established. February
sales exceeded those of January by
more than $4,000 and marked the
eleventh month in. which Ford sales
have topped the o100,0 900 line.
This sales record bears out predic-
tions made at the opening of the year
that an acute shortage in Ford cars
is certain and this shortage is expect
ed to be felt within the next two
months with the increased volume of
car buying which is always attendant
upon the spring months.
Will Not Meet Demand.
Even the high production schedule
set at the Ford Motor company's fac
tory here, which will reach 5000 cars
and trucks day about April /, will
be unable to meet the apparent de-
mand for ord products.
Anticipating a great increase in the
demand for Ford cars during the pres
ent year the factory here laid plans
for increasing production to the 5000
cars a day schedule and since January
first had been constantly speeding up
manufacture to reach this figure. De-
lmand so far has been of such great
proportion as to absorb nearly all
production, and stocks in hands of
the dealers are at present the lowest
they have been in months.
Made Under Adverse Weather.
February sales of 116,080 cars were
made in the face Of unfavorable wealth
er conditions in many sections of the
country which tied up freight traffic
and prevented many deliveries. This
was particularly true throughout the
Northwest, the northern tier of states
and in New England. In California,
too, cold weather during a part of the
month had it's effect upon car sales.
Yet with even these unfavorable
conditions, the February sales topped
those of January by 1870 and set new
high record for Mid Winter selling.
With February the eleventh month
in which Ford car sales have gone over
the 100000 mark, the total for this
period is close to 100000.
Peak car sales usually are reached
during the summer months with drops
in the Fall and Winter. This feature
of automobile absorption by the buy
ing public has been completely chang
ed during the last few months through
the activities of the Ford dealer or
ganization which has raised the "peak"
line to include every month in the year.

Racine Senator Wants
Capitol Always Free

parties therein, State Senator Max

ing for any party which charges ad-

committee on state affairs at hearing
on the resolution this afternoon.
The assembly grants the university
students the use of the capitol for the

merely because they're too good sports
to deny them, Heck claimed
Only exceptional luck has prevented
accidents at the parties in the past,
he said, as the wiring is poor in many
places.
"a party which admits one thousand
and excludes thirty thousand, is de-
feating the proper function of the
building"
Demonstrations and lectures should
be allowed to be held in the capitol if
no admission is charged, he said.

Blaine for Cut
in Commissions
Governor Investigates Possibilities OF
Cutting Down Size of Many
State Commissions.
(By Associated Press.)


Madison, Wis.-Governor Blaine is
giving his support to bills now before
the legislature calling for a reduction
in the number of members on state
commissions whose functions are pure
ly administrative. Two measures pro
viding for the establishment of one
man commissions in place of the pres
ent three members, have already
passed the assembly.
Following the success of the A. E
Smith bill for creation of a one MAJ
conservative commission in place
the three member commission and tn
Dahl bill to reduce the size of tn
civil service commission to one mem
Der, the governor is reported to b.
preparing a bill to cut down the siz'
of the tax commission from one t.
three members.
This move, if made, will occasion
bitter factional fight within the Pro
gressive Republican ranks 1t will b
taken as a direct blow of the governO
at Judge Charles D. Rosa, member
the commission, whose attitude tn
governor believes, has been hostile.
The governor and Judge Rosa hav
had serious differences that resulte,
in a personal clash some days age
This division in the attitude of tn
two leaders was made more accute b.
the stand Mr.. Rosa took in support
the Dahl general income tax bill,
which he is the author. 1t is known
that the governor would not he AYERS,

without too much friction.
