In some quarters that Americans are
preparing an accelerated flood of cap

During the war and for some years
after American capital invaded Can

other European war or Communist
revolutions it will be impossible for
America to collect the principal Of
government or private loans. The
time may not be distant when Ameri-

rural schools in the Northwest than
those of Sheridan county. She is
worker. She does not have "lazy"
hair in her head. She is strong,
healthy and energetic which per
son needs to be to hold this Of
flee. The office of County Sup
erintendent has become a very I'M
portant office during the past few
years. Every session of the Leg1sla-
ture heaps new work upon that Of
flee. 1t now has to check and audit
all of the books of the different dis
tricts. 1t has to conduct all of the
state and teachers examinations. 1t
has to decide all of the "petty neigh
borhood rows" growing out of school
administration. 1t has to supervise
about 125 teachers. A person hold
ing this office of necessity must get
Sin bad' often: it can't be helped.
Miss Crone is a person that does her
duty in the light of the way she sees
the facts. No one can question her
sincerity of purpose, and willingness
to work. She is experienced in her
work, has taught school for twenty
five years or more, and there is not
a better teacher in the county. She
is a person of fine ideals and high
moral character. 1t would be mighty
poor business to make change IN
the superintendent office. No one
has a greater interest in the educa-
ton of the young than she-no one
will sacrifice more-as an illustra-
ton: one winter a girl come to Plen-
tywood to go to school: she come
late and the schools were crowded,
so the authorities refused to admit
her. Emma Crone could not stand
for that. So busy and pressed with
work as she was, she had this little
girl come to her office every day for
instruction, and when the school year
was up the little girl made her grade
strong. Miss Crone has made the
best Superintendent this county ever
had and no one can render greater
service to the schools than by putting
an X in front of her name.
) Martin Nelson is the candidate fol
: Coroner. He has held the office fol
: six years. He has made a good Of
] ficer. The office of Coroner is al
important one, and Martin Nelson
knows his duties. The people have
no reason to make change and the!

For Justices of the Peace in the

candidates are J. J. McElrOy and
George Wheeler. You vote for two.
Mr.. Wheeler has served with salts
faction to the people for several
years. The voters can do no better
than re-elect him. McElroy has had
a correspondence law course-he
knows how to keep the records, and
will make a good officer. He should
be elected.

Niels Madsen is the candidate for reelection to
the office of Clerk and Recorder. Nies come
off from the farm in Dagmar two years ago to
take this office. He made good as everyone who
knew him, knew that he would do. Everybody
knows Neils-lnows that he is a good officer:
an economical and efficient officer and a good
executive. He is always on the job himself and
always courteous and accommodating. Nies has
no opposition practically and his reelection is
conceded.

Arthur c. Erickson is the candidate for County
Attorney. He has been County Attorney for six
years and will be for eight. County Attorney
Erickson can't be beat. He is good prosecutor
but not prosecutor. He conducts his office in
such way as to cost the tax payers the mini
mum. While he has many conviction as any
County Attorney, no one has so few trials. He
don't put on a show at the peoples expense as
an advertising proposition such as was put on
in Roosevelt county when a unfortunate, insane
boy was condemned to be hung. "Erick" has a
way of getting the guilty to plead guilty, and
take shorter terms He has found this to be
the best way both for the mfortnates and
miserable and for the public generally. County
Attorney Erickson is good officer and should
be reelected, and we have no doubt but that he
will be.

For County Surveyor, Hans Ras-

He has been in 40 of the AZ states.
He has gone to as good schools as
any of them. Hans Rasmussen knows

very much He has served in the senate of this
state for four years. His record is well known.
He come here eight years ago to edit the Pro

is now manager of that paper. Nearly everybody
in the county knows him personally, and is either
strongly for him or strongly against him. There
are none undecided in the senatorial contest No
one has ever accused him of being half way man.
He will be reelected if he gets enough votes.
The candidates for the legislature are P. J. Wall

MAyAN HIGHWAYS
R|VALED ROME'S
Broad Stone Roads. Which
Often Ran for Miles on High
Grades, Still Exist.

The good roads movement is no
new thing in America. Far back IN
the days when the later Roman en-
perors were pushing the highways OF
white stone to the outer limits OF
their domain and making Roman
roads" a phrase to conjure by FOR
all time there was an empire in the
American tropics that had its own
system of roads that rivaled those OF
Rome. The jungle has taken them
back again, as it took the ancient
capitals of the Maya people, but a
report TO the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington. recently sent in by its
we'll known explorer. DR.. Sylvanus
G. Morley, now tells of his discovery
Of the roads that led to Coba.
Coha was the capital of Maya
empire even more ancient than that
of Chichen liza, already made Ia
NOUS by the archaeological eXcava-
lions by DR.. Morley. Having partly
finished his work at the later city.
the American scientist th4s season
conducted little preliminary work
in the ruins of Coba. and among the
striking evidences of the high CIVIL
cation that hourished there near the
beginning of the Christian era prom :
ably the most outstanding feature is
the great system of radiating roads
"sacheob." white roads, the Maya
called them.
DIR. Morley states that he has found
seven of these great highways, ana
has received from the natives reports
Of others. which he expects to inVestl'
gate later. They were all constructed
Of stone. were from 80 to 90 feet
wide. and as a rule stood about feet
above the surrounding terrain. In
places. however they ran for miles at
a height of 10 or 90 feet.
The most notable find in the city OF
Coba itself was a 10-foot monument,
evidently to one of the emperor build
ers. 1t consists Of shaft feet
square, with principal figure hold
ing the ,louble-ended Maya scepter
staff in both his arms. standing on the
back of a captive, and receiving the
homage of two other kneeling figures.
The rest of the surface of the monu-
ment is closely covered with sculp-
tured triumphs and with columns or
hieroglyphic writing.
What these hieroglyphiCs may sig
nifty is still unknown. for though DR..
Morley has succeeded in deciphering
the highly perfected Maya calendar.
no KEY has vet been discovered to the
code that hides the history of Amer
