boulevard" planned as a great three
lane boulevard connecting the Ma
tional Capital with the proposed east
ern national parks.
This boulevard, DIR. johnson stress
es, was not sudden '1dea4" The
association claims to have had such
q highway in mind from the very
outset of its. career. The original
plan, 1t seems, was to widen the pres
emit Lee highway into the more i'm
posing boulevard.
Planned to Induce Building.
The Lee Highway Association never
intended to build this or any other
road, as far as actual construction
goes. It's sole purpose was to act as
a co-ordinating agent In inducing the
proper county. state and Federal au-
thoritieS, or private interests, to build
1t.
In selecting" a route for the Lee
boulevard in its approach to the new
bridge the Lee Highway Association
merely was making q recommen-
dalton, based on its previous expe-
rfence in highway planning. This
recommendation was directed, ap-
parently, at no particular body or
group. There at the present time

the authority and financially able to
proceed with the construction Of such
a road. The Lee Highway Assoc
citation itself has no funds with which
to build it, and 1t has so far been I'M
able to announce any definite plan for
getting some one else to finance It.
1t has expressed its hope; however,
for the cooperation Of county, state
and Federal agencies, and, no doubt,
will urge these agencies to give that
cooperation with relentless yigor.
Thus it is seen that the Lee High.
way Association is not an arbitrary
body, but a very efficient group OF
highway advisers, intent on carrying
to fruitition the ambitious dreams OF
it's founders for a super-highway IN
memory of the famous leader OF the
''boys in gray"
Just so long as these cherished
ideals do not conflict with the welfare
of the commonwealth and the wishes
of its citizens, so long will the Lee
Highway Association go forward tn.
umphantly toward the magnificent
goal of its visions, In the opinion OF
those involved in the present con
troversy.

WHO is TO BLAME

Insurance companies in Arkansas
have found it necessary to increase
rates in that state, due to increas.
ing numbers of fires. Naturally
there is a great deal of opposition
from people unfamiliar with the bus
,n'ss {. fire under writing.
The Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Conner
cial takes a sane view of the situa-
ton, and its comment is applicable to
every state. In recent editorial, it
said in part:
"lf it is found that claims of the
insurance companies are true, it
will probably mean that the increase
rates must be granted, for it is in
conceivable that a legitimate profit
be refused any business, or that the
residents of the state of Arkansas be
denied the protection of fire insur-
ance.
"And if these higher rates is grant
ed, let there be no weeping and wall
ing and gnashing of teeth and no
charges of grasping corporations
seeking to grind the peepul' into the
dust. For you, along with every
other resident of Arkansas, are to
blame for the increasing of the rates.
"If Arkansas homes, business and
industries were properly protected
agaius. fire. there would be no de-
maGd for in reG Hg rates If you,
as a good citizen have your prem.
ises clean, free of all fire hazards,
and then help enducate Jour neigh
Dor to the need of such freedom
from hazards, the present low rates
would prevail, and the insurance
companies would be move tnan glad
to continue business on the old plans.
"Even though fire insurance rates
are boosted, they can be brought
down again if fire losses are reduc-
ed. So do your bit, clean up, remove
all hazards, fulfill your duty as a
good citizen, and defeat the ravag'
ing hordes of fire waste on your pre-
misses, and you will have aided your
self, your neighbor, your community
and your state"
An insurance company which has
to rase rates can say as truthfully
as can the parent who is forced to
punish his child, ''it hurt me more
to do this than it does you"

FIFTY YEAR OLD COMPANY
STARTS ADVERTISING
BAKING POWDER IN
THE TELEGRAPH

Mr.. W. S. Biggadike, state sales
manager of the Kenton Baking
Powder Company, was in for few
days considering the advisabi',ty of
advertising Snow King Baking Pow
Ter here. At the time of leaving
he said, Washington, Ark, has al
ways been a fairly good town for
us; | am now convinced that there
are a great many people who would
try Snow King Baking Powder if
we tell them some of its good points
by means of advertising"
Until very recently the company
has not done any advertising al.
though they have been making and
selling baking powder for over fifty
years. The sales have grown to a
large figure only as people have
told their friends about Snow King.
There are today many whole COM
.munities in the South where moth
ing but Snow King Bakin% Powder
is used.
Although Snow King Baking
Powder is fully guaranteed to give
satisfaction or your money back,
the company has decided to make
special Introductory offer of a
cake pan and cook book free with
the 25c size can of Snow King Bak-
ing Powder. This is being featured
in the Washington Telegraph.
1t is really important that any
one trying Snow King for the first
time have cook book on hand for
the reason that Snow King has i
great deal more leavening power
liability to make dough rise) thar
is to be found in many other baking
powders. For this reason, the first
advertisement makes a special point
of offering free a beautiful illustra-
ted 44-page cook book which con-
tains more than 800 baking recipes.

HAY FEVER DAYS

We are back around to the hay
days again. You may be fortunate
enough not to have made the ac-
quaintance of this disease, but if
you have at any time felt a touch
of it you know it is no laughing
matter Most anyone is subject to
it and an attack of it is difficult
to get rid of. Doctors say the only
sure remedy is scientific eating
lots of fruit and no meat during
the hay fever season. Cut your
weeds. Decaying weeds and other
vegetable matter breeds hay fever
in the fall just the same as green
weeds bred disease carrying germs
in the spring. So if you want to do
your part toward putting down hay
weeds now before they are fully
pened and the pollen and seed be-
gin to be carried about by the wind

followed Tunney over to his cot

were demands for a speech. Gene
is a pretty nifty talker, so he up
and said, said he:

ony for their loyal support. 1

then Pants Lawrence stepped to

more cheers for Gene, the great
champion" said Pants. The tumult
rumbled down the valley and echoed
over the lake to where the green
carpeted Mt. Spectator rears its
silent heights.

those things that has to be done.
