Hoyseshoes Sold for Gaming

Hardware dealers throughout the
country are finding q ready sale for
new horssshoes owing to the revival
Of the good old game Of pitching
horseshoes. Since the automobile
came into such popular use fewer old
horssshees were available for this

been that the demand for shoes caused
hardware and sporting goods dealers
to stock new ones. A new magazine,

Regent, Sunday


"Buzzin Around" Good Show
You will not be satisfied with one
view Of Golden & Longs big musical
comedy, "Buzzin Around" which will
be seen at the Regent theatre next
Sunday. One proficient in estimating
amusement values, delivered this par
adox concerning it: If you see it
once, you'll see it twice." The music
has q haunting quality; you take it
from the theatre with you. Sub-con-
sciously, perhaps, it jogs around with
you all day-you can not easily de-
scribe it, like moonlight on a river
seen through swaying boughs. The
comedy is captivating, the dances
swift, the settings luxurious and the
girls are the prettiest ever seen with
a travelling organization. So wha,
more could you ask?

0ADPROBLEM
NOT UNDERSTOOD
BY THE PUBLIC

One Of the factors retardins road
development Is lack of appreciation
Of the modern science Of highway
building and using.
We know too many things about
roads which are not so!
Many of u highway ideas are
twenty years behind the times. We
haven't caught up with the engineer.
For instance, "all roads wear out.
The enormous money invested in
them is thus a capital loss"
Roads do not wear out. The sur
face OF a good road wears, Of course.
So does the roof of q house. But
replacing the house roof doesn't
mean that the rest Of the house isn't
good. Tho surface of a road Is its
roof. II 1t wears out 1t must be re-
placed. But that doesn't mean that
the right OF way. the grade. founda-
ton. and all the material is any less
valuable than at first.
Trucks destroy roads. Therefore
trucks should pay for roads!" That,
too. is a fallacy. A truck no more
destroys a road, when truck and
road fit. than a baby carriage de-
stroys a garden path. 1t is lack of
maintenance which destroys roads.
1t is allowing too light a road to be
built fer the traffic 1t will bear.
which destroys roads; it is failure to
enact wide tire and maximum load
laws which destroys roads.
There isn't. money enough to pay
TO- national highways. We will all
be bankrupts!" More fallacy. There

the United States. II they r worth

We did not! Why should we get

lArs worth Of roads and the in
terest on seven billions will build to-
day mere national highways than
we have AZ yet engineers and ma

Transportation has been for US

Because He Can't Ran for Governor Himself
Pa FurguSon Gets Folks to Vote for Ma Fu1guSop

TIT. WORTH, Texas, July l.
II Farmer Jim" Furguson
IL can't run for Governor, so
his wife is running for him.
James E. Furguson. once Gov.
ernor. resigned in the face of inn
parchment proceedings several
years ago.
Whether or not he can run this
year is a legal problem that can't
be settled by the courts in time to
get his name on the ballot.
So Miriam A. Furguson is run
ming in his stead.
The Furgusons were worth a
million dollars in 1914 when the
husband entered politics. He has
made the money himself. His
first office was Governor.
In 1917 impeachment proceed
ings were borught, charging that
he had accepted loans of $4,000
from brewery interests. that he
placed $4,000 in State funds in
, his bank without interest, and that
he appropriated $500 for his pri-
vate use.
Furguson denied the charges but
resigned to escape certain impeach-
ment.
His vindication. he believed,
could only come from the hands
Of the voters. Yet; when he left
the chair he was almost broke He
had no money to mako a fight.
In spite of that he has planned
his campaign.
While Mrs. F>urguson runs the
modest butcher shop in Temple
and campaigns within the county,
where he was once a financial
power. Farmer Jim" is stump
ing the State.
He is an unusual orator, and his
plea to vote for Ma F'urguson for
my sake" often moves his audience
to tears.
