CANADIAN MEXI-
CAN HIGHWAY

Two meetings have been called
by c S. Milhiser, President of
= the Canadian Mexican Highway
Association, at which plans will
be completed for tho new Organi-
zatIOn and the marking of the
Highway from Regina, Canada,
to FL PasO, Texas. this spring.

pose of discussing the proposed

has been called for DeadwOOd,
South Dakota, on Thursday April
2lst, at which time a Vice-Pres-
ident, and member of the Ma
tiOnal Executive Committee will

ed for the Highway from Baker
south through the Black Hills.
The meeting at DeadwOOd.
South Dakota, promises to be a
very interesting one owing to the
fact that it is a joint meeting of
the Associated Commercial Clubs

kOta, and the Highway represen-
tatives.

did that make. Our County Commits
siOners paid the bill in full so very
likely some day the president of the
railroad company will call on them
and hand them a good cigar for be-
ing so nice to him.
When it came to paying for the
tractors the Commissioners run up
against it. Some fool legislature had
MADE law preventing county COM
missiOners from spending more than
S1O,OOO.0O for any one purpose with
out putting it to a taxpayers vote.
Laws should not be made for county
commissioners anyway, Commission
ers like ours can run rings around
any kind of law, so it did not take
long before they had this little
trouble fixed up. They simply made
two claims out of the one, YOU got
to hand it to them, just think Of it
how clever and lawful.
The Commissioners have also pur-
chased a new grader which cost 81
lO5.5O. 1t is a kind we never tried
before and people who know more
about it than | do say it is no good.
For some reason Ed. Iverson had his
MIND set on this grader and Frank
let him have it. They tell me that
Ed. drove a lead team on a horse
grader back in Minnesota so he ought
to be an expert on graders.
We also have a little dinkey outfit
Of caterpillar which was bought
last year. Some other time l will
tell you an interesting little story
about that deal.
In the commissioners proceedings
you will find warrant made out to
Mont. Association of County Com
missioners for $500 and you might
wonder what that is for. The Coun-
" Commissioners are not like YOU
farmers. They are organized. If
thelr organization is affiliated with
the Ku Klux Klan or not l do not
know but | understand Ed. Iverson is
glVlng out information about how
foreigners can join the Kluxers so if
you are interested in that line Won
better ask him.
The way | understand about the
$1,000 is that some county commits
sloners have got into some trouble
they might have stolen some of the
taxpayers money for all l know
and now they need a lawyer to defend
them, so they sent out a call to all
county commissioners and asked each
one to contribute $500 to paw this
lawyer.
Our County Commissioners proba-
oly thought that some day they might
need some help themselves, so the
best they could do was to dig up the
fifteen bucks, which they did but thew
did not take it out of their own poclt-
ets-they took it out of yours-paid
1t out of the county funds. Aren't
you glad you have such broadmind-
ed men handling your funds-men
who will spend your money so wisely
and well, men who, when it comes to
doing a good deed to their fellow
men, are big hearted enough to let
the whole county in on it instead of
doing 1t all themselves and taking all
the glory. 80
The price for the two carloads of
lumber, which the County Commis-
sloners ordered from the Riba Lumber
Co., was not so bad after all 7
could have bought it for S15.59 less
so there was not much to holler
about. Still the $15.59 would buv
someone few good cigars. \

Vacancies Announced by War Depart

Two vacancies for the class of 1928

emy at West Point are at the disposal
of Senator DUPONT, of Delaware, the
War Department has made known in
a corrected statement of all vacancies
which are to be filled by senator's and
representatives Senator Bayard has
no 1928 vacancy, nor has Representa-
tive Houston.
Request has been made by the War
Department upon members of Con-
gress to make the necessary appoint
ments. The appointees, if they pass
the examinations, will enter the acad-
emy next July. In addition to vacan-
cies at the disposal of members of
Congress, 35 vacancies exist for young
men whose fathers were killed in bat
tie during the World War. Forty such
vacancies were created by special act
Of Congress in 1926, only five of which
have been filed. Most soldiers who
were killed in the World War were
too young to have sons now old
enough to enter West Point. Appli-
cants for all vacancies must be be-
tween II and % years of age and
physically qualified for the entrance
examinations which will take place in
March.

ALTER SIZE OF PAPER MONEY
Government to Make Change for First
Time Since the Civil War

The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing at Washington is embarking
upon the greatest money manufactur-
ing task it has ever been called upon
to perform, the production before
next October of 1,000,000,000 pieces
of new paper money of new size and
design which within few months af-
ter release will be tucked away in the
pockets of millions of Americans and
stored in bank vaults throughout the
country. The 1,OOO,00O,0O0 pieces now
in circulation will be withdrawn and
replaced by the new notes of the same
value, but Of only three quarters Of
the present size. The notes outstand-
ing represent more than $5,O00,00O,OOO
which is the amount Uncle Sam keeps
constantly in circulation and on hand
to lubricate the wheels Of life for his
vast family. The weight Of this vast
amount of paper money will be cut
down to 25 per cent.
The change from the old to the new
the first alteration in size of Amer
lean paper money since the civil war
will be made as soon as the Govern
ment's money printing plant in Wash
ington-the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing of the Treasury Department
can get ready for issue enough Of
the new small bills to begin their sub
stitution for the existing large size
green and goldbacks.
The actual issuance of the new
money to replace the old is expected
by Treasury officials to begin in Oc-
tober Of next year. It will require
the full II months not only to produce
the billion pieces Of money needed,
but also to work out the detailed sys-
tenn of substitution necessary to avoid
embarrassment and delay to the bust
ness of the great American family.
Uncle Sans profits from the ex-
change will average about $2,000,0OO
year. He will save that much in
the amount Of costly bank-note paper
conserved through the use of the
smaller notes; in printers ink and
dyes, for II notes of the new size can
be made where only eight could be
produced before; in the reduced costs
of transportation Of money in bulk
in the reduced wear and tear on paper
money; in the saving Of storage space
in Government vaults, and in count
less ohter ways.
The first practical steps for carry
ing the change in money sizes were
taken recently when Secretary Mellon
of the Treasury Department approved
the delicately-engraved plates from
which the money will be printed.

of that there also be thought of fu-
ture peace. The Chancellor declared
that he regarded the American Legion
as the organization which can do much
for the future peace Of the country.

Delaware was a little over $3,000,000

institution you teachers constitute the
most important part.
''The most fundamental factor in
the scheme is indicated in Lincoln s
famous aphorism, with public senti-
ment in its favor, nothing can fail;
without it, nothing can succeed. "A
favorable public sentiment can be
gained but in one way and only one
by faithful, intelligent, sympathetic
and consecrated service rendered. To
render such service is our job.
For this job last year we were paid
nearly $2,O00,000 in teachers salaries,
not counting superintendents and
principals, Delaware paid last year
100000 more than in 1922. Here
is the big item in the mounting costs
Of education since 1921, the increase
in enrolment of pupils, has been 461,
the increase in the number Of teach
ers has been 149 and the average
teacher has received an increase in
salary from $1115 to $1276. These
figures are Statewide. They show on
the part of the public a growth in ap-

Recommends More Strenuous Penalties

on violations of the state liquor laws,

emily, to the General Sessions Court,
recommended that "our lawmakers be
urged to provide suitable enactments
whereby more severe penalties be i'm
posed upon law-breakers of the class
in question"
The significant fact, as stressed by
the grand inquest, was that many Of
those indicted this term had been pre-
viously indicted and convicted and
given a minimum sentence. 1t is be-
cause Of this that the grand jury in
its report recommended a change in
the statutes to enable so-called chronic
offenders to be more severely punish

''that for repeated offenses by the
