FEDERAL AID
SAVES MONEY
FOR COUNTIES
Bids Opened Recently Show
Economy of Building Roads
Under New Plan

Bids opened in several counties
during the past week prove again the
value and economy of building state
highways with federal and state aid
according to the state highway CON-
mission. 1t will cost Ransom county
just-$585 per mile to gravel 20 miles
of state highway. Nels Brolande-,
who is low bidder. offers to do the
work for 34,765 or $1,17O per mile
As only federal aid is available for
this project, the county must pay
one-half the cost. About a half mile
of grading and culverts are also in
cluded in the total amount. This
road runs north and south from Lis
bon.
At Finley, earlier in the week, mas
we're opened for 5 miles of grading
and the construction of bridge. w.
II. Noel, jamestown, was low bidder,
on the grading for ST. 300 or ST.
2G0 per mile, while Il. NJ. Swim
gen, Cooperstown, was low bidder
on the bridge at $4,000. As this
project will receive both federal and
state aid, the grading will cost the
county $5G5 per mile and the bridge
the small sum of $3.50.
In Stutsman county, nine miles
can be graded and graveled for $685.
773.55 or $2,863.73 per mile. Being
both state and federal aid project,
it will cost the county only $715.93
per mile. The low bid for grading
was made by H. Knudson and for
gravelng Chas. C. Jackson bid So
1896. At the same time Jackso
was also low bidder for graveling
project No. ABB in the same county,
which is IL miles long. His bid of
$l6,295.l5 makes the cost 81, 4Sl.37
per mile, of which the county's share
is $393.56. For graveling project
No. Sc Bib, which is 8 miles in
length and also located in Stutsman
county, Jackson bid $7,9Ss.l0 or
S99s.5l per mile, of which the county
must pay $24963 per mile.
On last Friday NJ. E. Thompson
low bidder, offered to gravel five
and half miles Of road in Renville
county, project $50, for $5,6O9.65s OIL
81 ,OGS5O per mile. AS this also is q
! federal and state aid project, the
cost to the county will be $267.l2 pei
mile.
All these bids must first be APP
proved by the state highway com
mission and also by the bureau OF
public roads at Washington before
the contracts can be awarded ant
executed.

Los Angeles, June 9.--ln the ola
days-all of l6 years ago-Maurlce
Costello was said to have "the most
nearly perfect camera face"
If it was, what do you think OF
the faces of Dolores, IS, and Helene,
II, daughter of the screen star, VINO
have signed a three-ycar contract TO
appear in Warner Bros. pictures?
There is 'romance, sentiment and
adherence to the eternal fitness OF
things in their entry into film star
dom.
Back in July, 1909, Daddy" Cos
tello was induced to leave the Cecil
Spooner Stock Comany to enter the
movies at $50 week.
The move was somewhat of an eX-
pertinent, for nobody was certain
that the movies were more than a
passing care.
Costello became a favorite with
early movie fans and his appear
| ance on the screen was greatly re-
| sponsible for the success made bS
the Vitagraph Company.
Three days before Warmers bought

success.

They aren't the only representa-
tives of the second generation
sprung from picture pioneers-bu
they are the daughters of Maurice
Costello, hero of many an early
screen drama.
If he had the "perfect screen face
they are at least his equal.

Washington, ID. c., June @ The
Governor Parr, "hoodoo" derelict,
is still afloat.
For nearly two years the once
stately four-master, now Wallowing
drunkenly in the trough of the sea,
has resisted storms, waves, fire
and tow lines.
For a time it was believed she had
grounded or sunk. A false hope.
According to report just received
at the Navy photographic office
she is drafting off the west coast of
Africa, still menace to ocean
traffic.
All efforts to bring her into port
to bomb her, to burn her have been
to no avail.
Like the "Flying Dutchman" OF
nautical legend she seems destined
to sail on forever.

tuberculosis Soon to Vanish
British Doctor Says

Twenty-Five years from now, tuber-
culosis will be a. uncommon IN the
British dominions as leprosy is today,
according to Dr.. c. w. Saleeby, Of
the London medical institute. He
also predicts that infant mortality
will be reduced to almost nothing and
that successful ways will be discov-
cred to combat cancer. Largely
through preventive methods, the death
rate from tuberculosis has steadily
decreased in the United States. In
1910, the fatalities from this affection
of the lungs were nearly l40 for each
100000 population and in 1922, less
than, one hundred. -.

we cannot make campaign for

costs one and seven-tenths cents to

short life. But a silver dollar can be

! TO MANY FOLKS the old story of the ground
hog and his temperance on Candlemas Day,
February End, each year has deep rooted faith
in its truth; but, to most people it is mostly a
myth and an amusing story. That the little an
imal should return to it's burrow for six weeks,
after seeing his shadow in the sunshine of Feb
ruary End at the noon hour, is ridiculous and
the only excuse of the story, is that of amusing
children. Those who repeat it or call attention
to the incident, seldom have any faith in it's
truth. The little ground hog is almost unknown
to the people of lower Delaware.
MANY BILLS HAVE been introduced in the
legislature this week. so there is no need for the
call for business by members of the two houses.
Many of these bills are important and should be
acted upon with care and close study. Among
the number are the four bills which are propos-
ed to provide change in the income tax laws of
Delaware. These bills have been printed and dis
tributed for general information. Copies of the
bills may be had by calling at the Office of any
newspaper in Delaware, or from members of the
legislature. These laws are not proposed with
out great study and examination of the condi-
tions which they affect. Mr. Pierre S. du Pont
has caused them to be framed and presented to
the legislature as a plan whereby the great
problem-and it is a very great problem-Of
how to rebuild such school houses as may be
needed in all parts of Delaware, without caus-
ing heavy taxation on the people. The schools
must be built, if not at once, at some nearby
year. 1t can not be procrastinated for but
few years. The people know this to be fact.
We must face the problem, which is not to be
passed over, for it will not down. Study the stu
alton and see what plan can be evolved. If a
better one than that of Mr.. du POnt can be Gre
ated then let's have the plan now, and then see
what those districts which so badly need school
buildings can make out of it. Don't cheat the
children of the present out of opportunity for an
education. Meet the proposition fair and square
like honest men and women. This is not po-
litical football to be kicked for factiona advan-
tage or personal profit. The statements of few
ill-trained fools masquerading as legal leaders,
or party directors may have weight with those
who need the schools for their children more
than any other class. To such, we ask, that you
try to get both arguments, free Of bias and with
a desire to help your own children, and through
them your town, county and the state. You have
state pride. The citizenship of Delaware is not
a bootlegger or lawless; so, for that reason give
the problem of helping make the school houses
for the children decent and more attractive, than
most of the homes of those who would block all
improvement. The fight is now on and there
will be no retreat, so play fair and be just.

REPAIR BILLS ON DIRT ROADS this COM
ing spring will be unusually large in every
county in Delaware because of excessive rains
and prevailing mud conditions, which caused We
hicles of all kinds to cut deep ruts and ruin the
dirt roads after even the lightest use during the
winter season. Unfortunately the repairs will
have to be made by the same methods which
have prevailed for many years. The wasteful
ness of the system is made more plain, by COM
parison with the improved roads, which have
stood up under the tests and afforded means Of
travel for all to come and go from their homes
and centres for supplies. Better put the dirt
roads under control and management Of the
State Highway Commission; for then repair
bills will not be more, but the results accom-
plished will be done by experienced wOrkmen,
and under the direction of road engineers who
have studied the best ways to repair or build
dirt highways. In five years after the roads
have been under control and management Of
the State Department the people will be as
proud of their dirt roads as they are Of the won
derful boulevards which are models in road
building of today. Try the experiment and save
money by saving the roads from inexperienced
management through the Levy Courts direction,
without any competent engineering authority to
direct the work.

THE PERMANENT REGISTRATION amend
ment to the Delaware Constitution, which pro-
vides for registration of voters in this state a
system, which will be less costly and more sat
isfactory, to the men and women Of the state
who take part in the elections, is now before
the legislature for action. The bill was passed
by the legislature of two years ago, and the
Constitution requires that it be again repassed
by the present legislature before it can become
effective. So far in its path there has not been
any opponent of the proposition. 1t was adver-
tised for three months last summer in every
newspaper in the state, so that the people are
familiar with its purposes. 1t would be well to
take this particular bill up and put it through
before the hustle of work in the latter part Of
the session is at hand. We understand that the
bill was introduced and up for action in the
Senate, but an error was discovered in its franz
ing, which caused it to be referred back to
committee for correction.

AN INDICATION OF PROSPERITY in Kent
and Sussex counties, is the item revealed by the
inspection of the Building Loan Associations, by
the State Banking Commissioner at the close OF
1924. The examiner in going over the books of
the Sussex Building and Loan Association in
Milford, on the Sussex side of the Mispillion,
found that not one penny Of dues or, money due
to the association, was outstanding. Every ac-
count was paid to the cent. This indicates that
there is prosperity among those who are mem
bers and borrowers, as well as non-borrowers
Their investments amount to nearly two hun
dred thousand dollars as a total, on which all
dues and fees were paid into the hands of the
secretary. This is and probably is also an un-
usual condition among Building & Loan Associ-
ations, even in prosperous Delaware; but it is
condition without question. Many of the bor-
rOwers are agriculturists and a large percentage
of its membership is made up of men and women
who either interested in farm, fruit grow
ing, poultry and egg production, or active farm
work of some kind. The bank balances as re-
vealed by the last bank examination reports
printed in the newspapers Of Delaware, show
them to exceed any in previous years. These bal
ances are largely owned by agricultural inter
ests; it is not the merchants or manufacturers
who can claim their ownership to any great
extent.
