WEI.NKSIAY, MAIU'IC 81, H"7- STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION. Tho attitude of the State lllgh way Commission In reference to the distribution of the G,tiOO,000 state bond issue will be to shov? no undue preference to any particular section of the state ovor another. And ilna Is a matter wherein the commission has acted wisely. It Is their iuteu tlon to co-ooorate with ail the coun ties throughout the state, not with a few, as many have been lead to be lieve through opponents to tho bond Issue. Another matter which will receive serious consideration from tho commission is the bids submit ted by paving companies for tho road construction. If It Is found that the prices Beem exhorbltnnt, or In any way do not moot with tho approval of the board, the work of building roadB will be undertaken by the state, the necessary machinery anC other equipment purchased, lnlior employed by tho day and tho con struction of roads curried out under the Instruction and supervision of the Btnto engineers. In the selec tion of the state highway commis sioners by Governor Withycoiniie II wi.a not done with the idea that the particular section from where the selection was made would have nny bearing on the amount of road build ing to be distributed .throughout the state. It will bo the aim of the gentlemen appointed to play fair with all, and this 1b as much as tan be expected from any body or Bet of men representing tho inter ests of the Btate. What benefit it, derived by oacn county In the nt:.tr depends very much on what the peo ple of these counties do toward fur thering their own particular Inter ests. If the commisBlon is shown that we are alert to building up our cities and rurnt conimunltlso by action, not words, and will make a financial effort to curry out our own Immediate needs, the slate com mission will not bo found "asleep at the awltch." They will bo only two willing to nsslBt and direct In all road matters where the spirit of co operation abounds. Douglas county should not lag a moment until some action Is taken whereby our road In terests will be materially benefitted by tho proposed bond Issue. In tho April Woman's Homo Com panion Arnold Hcnnott sayB: "Tho dull man workB evil. Ho is In part nership with tho devil. And bore I am not Insisting on the ovll di rectly caused by dullness itBelf. though thnt Is by no menns negli gible. Dullness meaiiB boredom, not only for the dull man but for the companions of the dull mnn, and boredom Is the mother of many Ills vIccb too numerous to name and uncountable other catastrophes. Hence, hy his dullness alone (he dull mnn Is responsible for much Infelic Ity, and Is n distinct hindrance to tlin rtrnirtrHM nf r.lv'II 'tillnti " There in nothing new about the barrel skirt. Most of tho bovs have worn them when they came out from the swimming hole to find their clothes wore stolen. Woll, Where's thnt sprbig you rend about? It feels liko mid winter and looks It. Mats, the find of war, seems dis posed to gather us In. It Is to be hoped that our mer chant ships are not required to send committees out to warn the subma rines that they are going to lira on them. Filibustering is of course very bad, but It is perfectly legitimate for the pitcher to delay the game so durkness can be called while the home team Is still ahead. It looks as if bunting submarines would be as popular a sport before the Boason is over as shootlug guiues during the deer season. Wur or no war let the good roads movement continue. We may need 'em later even worse than we do now. Hide your new bonnet. Spring has been Indefinitely postponed. April is tho war month accord ing to history. MEDLEY OF MIXTUItKS. A Medley of Mixtures.
