Highway Economy
WYE have heard many persons criticize the
M State Highway Department for spending so
much money on routes, speaking of it as
an extravaganza that glad last week to see
the actual figures. There is why Mr. Babcock
will take highway like Number 16 and run it over an
entirely new route buying the new right of way when
he could use the old one free.
During 1929-30 the state replaced 842 miles of
highway with TAO miles of right of way. The
state paid 1,945000 for this right of way. But
in the they saved $3500000 worth of grading
and paving by using the shorter route.
For example take Number 16 which was slated for
grading and paving and which is being built over a
new route from st. James to Window. We have not
the figures but imagine that the grading, paving and
shoudering this route might close to $4,000
per mile. The route saves six miles of dis
tance Multiply $4,000 times six and you have the
Of $4,000 saved, which will buy quite bit of

tires and upkeep to the motorist who this six
miles the route the argument is all for the shorter
route, and it resolves itself into economy instead Of
an extravagance-Wndom Citizen.

They have hired men in need of work, paying cur

it possible to reduce taxes in future years. They have
given necessary relief without resorting to the dole

where nonsupport of families is voluntary. They have

'IF' by an Unknown Author
With Apologies to Rudyard Kipling But Very
Timely Now
eff you can see what folks call depression
AS nothing but spin of Fortunes wheel;
If YOU can keep your poise and self-possession
No matter what you think or how you feel;
If you can view stupid situation
All cluttered up with ifs and avs and butts
And take it at it's proper valuation
A challenge to your common sense and quits
If you can rise above the mess and muddle,
If you can glimpse rainbow through the cloud
When Doubt and Dread and Fear are in huddle
And hope is being measured for shroud;
If you keep saving sense of humor
For stories that are slightly nexact;
If you can disregard Report and Rumor,
And not accept statement fact
If you can spread the gospel of successes
If you can stir the spirit that nstills
The latent life in lathes and looms and presses
And lifts the stream above thousand mills;
If, briefly, you spend an extra dollar
If you pry the sacred Roll apart
And buy another shirt shoe collar
And act if it didn't break your heart;
If you have faith in those with whom you labor,
And trust in those with whom you make trade;
If you believe in friend and next door neighbor
And heed examples pioneers have made;
If you expect the sun to rise tomorrow;
If you that somewhere skies are blue
Wake up and pack away the futile
For better days are largely up to YOU"

HORROR BEYOND
IMAGINATION IN
STRICKEN CITY
Aviation Chief Tells Story
of Conditions in Torn
City of Belize.

~ United Press
MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 14-An eye
witness accourG Of the havoc
wrought by the hurricane which al
most obliterated Belize, capital of
British Honduras, was given today
by William D. Pawley, president of
the Curtiss Cuban Aviation Com
pany.
Damage and death tolls are al
most incredible" Pawley said. He
arrived by plane Sunday night with
pictures of the stricken city.
Almost nothing is left standing
except a few houses, which seemed
miraculously to escape. BY some
freak, whole blocks were RACED ex-
cept isolated structures.
Reports of the numbers killed
are not exaggerated, but it will be
extremely difficult to compute the
actual number of killed for some
time, as many drowned bodies have
not been recovered. BY last night
$50 bodies had been buried and
huge funeral pyres were burning as
we left.
THE tidal wave which accom-
panied the storm completed the
destruction Of the city. Every water
craft anchored off Belize was blown
on short. One barge, weighing sew
eral tons, was catapualted several
miles inland. Streets are strewn
with debris.
"Tottering walls of an unroofed
structure indicate the spot where
the Belize customs house once
STOOD"
A special pass, issued by Gus
toms officer, was exhibited by Paw
ley. The pass was a scrap of paper,
torn from a child's school textbook,
with scrubbed Notation that Paw
ley should be permitted movement
in the city.
Pawley estimated 1000 injured, in
addition to the dead, which unoffi-
cial estimates placed at 1900 to
1000.

PRIZE STEERS DRAW
ATTENTION AT FAIR
Local Man Enters 20 Head of First
Glass Cattle.

One load of cattle that caused
much attention at the Indiana
state fair last week, consists of
twenty head of Highland Hereford
yearling steers fed by Luther Win
kler & Sons of Newman, Ill.
They we're entered in the fair by
Girls G.. Nave of indianapolis. The
steers averaging 1,016 pounds each,
were purchased by the indianapolis
Abattoir Corporation at 5000 per
100 pounds.
The herd had been on feed of
yellow corn and commercial food
for a period of eleven months,
showing an average gain of $50
pounds during that time, according
to Winkler.
The cattle dressed 65.4 per cent,
while this is very high figure and
unexpected, many confident judges
and excellent cattle buyers said
''that load of steers is the best ever
exhibited at the fair"
