Gold Quest Lures Shawkey
Turns Back on Diamond to Wiring Riches From
Mine in Desolated North.

TkEomance Of the quest for gold
ha .old Robert Red Shirt and
basS8t4 Is now too tame for him.
He sees real sport ahead, an entirely
different sort of existence, and at
the end of the trail possibilities OF
profit far greater than he might
make out OF pitching or managing
In organized base ball.
1t is no chimerical pot Of gold at
the end of rainbow that Shawkey
Is chasing. He actually has a gold
mine that has vein of high-grade
ore. But the mine is a long way
from here-even long way from
the jumping off place of civilization.
Getting to the mine is one Of the
difficulties and getting the gold out
Is another difficulty. 1t will take
time, 1t will take work, and 1t will
take capital. But all these things
Shawkey sees only as the hazards
Of the most fascinating game upon
which he has ever embarked.

Gold! That's to be Shawkey's

THE NEW ERA OF ROAD
BUILDING

Ohio recently completed 1900 miles
of dustless, mudless farm-to-market
roads at an average cost of but $4,000
a mile. Commenting on this, State
Highway Director Merrell said: "The
relationship of flattened public pocket
books to the ever increasing need for
new roads opens up a new era of
road construction"
Like all other commodities" roads
have gone through constant evolution
in this country. At the beginning of
the automobile age, there were few
highways that didn't tax the resources
of even the horse and buggy. Then
came the beginnings of the super
highways, costing untold thousands of
dollars a mile. "PoliticaF' roads were
splendid, high-priced arteries,
traversing country which had no need
of them. Millions of dollars of tax
money were wasted in this way.
Now, Mr.. Merrell says, we have
come to new era. We have learned
that the cost of road must be meas
ured by the return it gives us-that
it is as wasteful to build a $4,000
a mile road where a $4,000 mile road
would serve, as to build low-cost
road where traffic demands an artery
that can withstand the constant pas
sage of the heaviest vehicles. Science
has given US materials and processes
making possible the construction of
first-class, weatherproof rural roads
for very small sums.
States which are building low-cost
roads, connecting farms and small
towns with the outside world, are lay
ing foundation for the future. They
are setting the stage for more profita-
BILE farming and for accelerated COM
munity development.

THE HUNGRY MARCHERS-

The hungry marchers were not so
hungry. When towns refused to give
them food, they sent out agents who
bought all that was necessary.
When the gasoline tank became
empty and they were not able to COM
mand a filling station operator to fill
it up free of charge, they handed over
the cash.
The hunger marchers are nothing
more than a bunch of Reds and Com
munists and any manner in which they
are dealt with enroute to Washing
ton, in Washington or enroute to their
homes from Washington, will be too
good for them.
The money spent by the leaders
would keep the entire lot at home,
where they belong. The hunger march
ers deserve absolutely no sympathy,
and at last the people are awaken
ing. They aren't getting much.
