Home is sad oh. God. how dreary.
Lonesome lonesome every spot.

had some time. There were about
5000 people in the audience.
Got acquainted with a young fellow
who sure was stuck on my hat. He
said his uncle had been away out
west and never once saw a cowboy
hat Naturally l wanted to know
what part of our ''big outdoors" he
had been. Here was the reply: why
he was clear out there to Toledo,
Ohio!" Oh, gosh, I thought I'd die!
I really believe there are lots of folks
in the New England states who think
the U. S. still consists of the thirteen
original colonies, with the possible
addition of California. Several per-
sons told me should get a different
hat, informing me that l was "in the
United States now" 1 told them that
I might be in the U. S. now but I'd
be dam glad to get back to Gods
country.
One of my worst experiences was
finding a suitable place to eat. There
are SO many different kinds and when
ever I'd locate a good place, I never
could find it again. Got into place
called the Auto-mat, which was cafe
terra style, only everything is in glass
cases and works like a slot machine.
After depositing the correct change,
you turn a crank, a little door flies
open and the pie jumps out, exactly
like the bird in a COo-Coo clock.
Rather liked the French restaurants,
too. Had quite time getting through
the crowds, and sincerely believe my

for 1 was positive I'd never met up
with her before; so we danced.
Visited Clarence Smiths (my bud
dy) sister and mother over in Mary
land. Not hard to see why Smity is
such a good scout.
Travelled south to Jacksonville,
Florida, going through Richmond,
Virginia, and Savannah, Georgia, thence
to Melbourne, Florida, where l spent
ten days with my old school chum
Woodson Maddox, his sister and par
ents.
Woodie and I also sold papers to-
gether for his dad in Durango, Colo
RADIO, me starting in when nine years
old.
In Florida, they raise oranges
bananas, cotton, cocoa-nuts, grape
fruit, figs, dates, peaches, and in fact
everything that's planted, and plenty
that isn't planted too. The last two
mentioned go we'll with each other
when not grown on trees.
Very few of the people in this
state ever grow up. That is, it don't
seem so, for they nearly all wear
knee pants.
Went alligator hunting and fishing
also. There are heeps of beautiful
drives and one sure gets a keen trop-
ical atmosphere down around Miami
and Palm Beach. All told, Florida is
some state and if you don't believe
me, just ask William Jennings Bryan.
The Florida Crackers" are easy peo-
pie to get acquainted with.
On my return trip, stopped off at

western hat was all that saved me
from being run over.
Besides two layers of subways, this
berg has street cars and then two
layers of elevated trains
Of course 1 took in several keen
shows, such as the Ten Command
ments,' kid Boots" 1.-THE Potters,,
Hipodrome theatre, and the "Ziegfeld
Follies." Oh, baby, but they can sure
kick 'em high in the last place.
Thought $3.50 was a terrible price
when 1 went in, but gosh, after the
show Say, it would have been cheap
at ten dollars.
Saw the Prince of Wales and the
steamer Olympic, on which he sailed
for England. Only difference in this
dances until five or six o'clock in
the morning and we go home about
one or two. So much for New York.
Nothing much of interest in Phila-
delphia, outside of being a pretty good
city in general, so headed for the
capitol of the United States, and take
it from me, George Washington GER
tainly new his stuff when laying out
! CnaC CITY.
Went through all the big govern
ment buildings, namely, the Pan
American Union, U. S. mint, bureau
of printing and engraving, the capitol
building, including the house of rep
i resentatives and senate chambers, the
wonderful Smithsonian Institute, con-
gressional library, where l read the
original Declaration of Independence
| and Constitution (the latter being
free from the eighteenth amendment),
and while strouing through the White
House met up with President Coolidge.
Went all the way to the top of Wash
| ington's monument, where | took
some fine snap shots. Also saw Ari-
zona's stone, which is inserted about
half way up. Being $40 feet high this
monument is the highest in the world
ever built to the memory of a man.
| Went out to Arlington cemetery, as
we'll as visiting George Washington's
old home in Mt. Vernon. Standing
as it does, overlooking the beautiful
Potomac river, it is in my estimation,
the most beautiful spot on earth. The
father of our country was far nobler
character even than we are taught
in history.
Had a swell time Halloween even

Jacksonville, and found it also to be
''peacherino" of a town.
One thing l noticed in particular
in that southern country, was the
sweet" names like, Honey" Sugar"
'Dearie" and etc, that they call a fell
low
Had very beautiful trip along the
gulf coast all the way to New Or
leans, by way of Pensacola, Florida,
and Mobile, Alabama.
The old French city didn't appeal
to me much, although it is worth Wis
iting, being different than all other
cities. The street cars all wind up
on Canal street, so travellers can't get
lost and there are canals through
town to go boating on if you can
withstand the mosquitoes.
Visited the old French markets,
Jackson's monument, the old forts, the
oldest Catholic Cathedral and took a
ride on Mississippi river boat, after
going in a cemetery where the tombs
and monuments all cost from a thous-
and to hundred thousand dollars. The
graves are nearly all built up mounds,
as water is reached at depth OF three
| feet.
My next stop was Memphis, Tennes-
| see, which l liked pretty well, then
to st. Louis, and Kansas City. These
places are sure up and down hill
enough and are both keen, lively,
snappy towns. While in the latter city
heard the famous kansas City Night
hawks" playing for the radio.
Gosh, but l really was glad when
I boarded Santa Fe train No. 81 and
knew 1 was again headed west. I'm
sure proud to be westerner, for one
good old hand shake west of Kan
sas City, is worth a half dozen finger
grips" you run into back east.
There were several cow-punchers
from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona,
on my train, who had taken in the
stock show in Kansas City. Gee, we
sure had some real fun cracking jokes
and then I told stories of my expert
ences through the east, such as I've
related to you here and, gosh, how
they did roar.
Came on down through Amarillo,
Texas, Clovis, Belen and Gallup, N.
NJ, and was met by my good old
chum Smity and Beno Foghner when
I ''unloaded" in Winslow.
! Thus ended my trip into places
where Arizona seemed to be little
known, but believe we, there are a
number who have been enlightened,
as to our great big sure enough state.

THE WASHINGTON ''Rumor
factory" is not running so fast as
formerly. 1t used to be possible to
pick up any amount of scandal in
volving high officials most any time.
Two recent events, though, have
SLOWED down the wheels. The first
was Frank A. Vanderhp's public
confession that he was "gossiping"
when he cast insinuations on the late
President Harding, and the next was
the calling of the hand of Col. Tom
Miller, the Alien Property Custodian,
when he made serious charges
involving Treasury Department of
ficials, in an alleged deliberate at
tempt to delude Congress as to the
state of the nations pocketbook The
Miller eposide will drag along
throughout the soldiers bonus fight,
but irresponsible gossiping has been
dealt a deadly blow.
SENATOR'S AND other tireless
Investigators are finding that there
is plenty of real scandal about with
out wasting time to manufacture it.
Congress is investigation-mad and it
has become the easiest legislative
act in the world for someone to put
through a resolution authorizing a
probe of something or other. A
definite move is under way to bring
AHleIlCdI ulpioAndtlC IheIiiOuS hnto
the light of day and demands are
being made for Secretary Hughes to

State can always sidestep, however,
on the ground that such disclosures
would not be Gin the public interest"

CHEAPER ROADS BY STATE
PURCHASES
Wholesale Buying Saves Taxpayers
Money.

That wholesale purchases of road
materials by States is method of
saving taxpayers money is demon
strated by the re ords of several
States which have adopted central
purchasing department for all road
materials. North Carolina, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Delaware, Con-
necticut, and Indiana are among the
good-roads States thus cutting out
waste and centralizing their buying.
B. H. Piepmeier, State engineer
for Missouri roads, estimates that
centralized buying has saved the
"show me- State over $3,000,000.
In addition to the saving due to
low prices on large lots in wholesale
quantities, the unified purchases
save time, red tape, and duplication.
Regarding the plan, Mr.. Piepmeier
says:
sit could be tried with success in
other States. The plan secures
steady supply of cement, speeds up
delivery, and reduces the expense to
the taxpayer. North Carolina has
saved $350,000 in three years in this
way. The contractors are better
pleased, too, on account of competi-
tion with privately operated plants
Because of the great expense in get
ting started, it was decided that it
would be inadvisable for the State to
manufacture; SO the commercial
plants were enlarged. In my
opinion, a Government operated
plant can not be so efficiently
operated as a privately owned one in
which keen competition keeps the
managers active all the time. A
privately operated plant does not
suffer from political turnovers or
other such influences"

MICHIGAN HAS hard luck. First
it was Newberry and then it was
Denby And for the first time in
seyenty-fiye years the state of
Michigan has a Democrat represent
ing it in the United States Senate as
result of the Newberry scandal.
Reports are reaching the Capital
that many of Denby's friends back
home are urging him to get into the
Senatorial race this fall against
7ouzens. They point out that
although the Secretary of the Navy,
who gets out of the Cabinet on March
10TH has been held up to all kinds of
bitter attacks in the naval oil
scandal, there has not been any
evidence Of dishonesty on his part,
and that he stands a chance of get
ting the Republican nomination from
his fellow-townsmen. But the litiga-
ton over the oil leases may put a
different color on the situation.
