WASHINGTON', May 23. Gray
Silver, Washington representative
of the American Farm Bureau, op
posed emphatically the Townsend
highway bill at the hearing on that
measure this morning before the
senate committee on postoffices and
post roads. He quotes the follow
ing resolution renontlv adnnted as
representing the attitude of. the
federation.
"We earnestly protest the local
hrtlldlnir nf farm to market high-
'ways by thejise of federal, state
and local ruiras. Until such roads
aro built we' emphatically oppose
the constructfon by the federal gov-
'eminent of a few hard surface
tranB-continen,tal roads regardless
of the character of the roads which
are built. An adequate amount of
Buch funds should be provided for
their maintenance and repair. We
urge the administration of federal
road funds be In the hands of the
department of agriculture."

We believe there should bV a Joint

NEW YORK, May 21 The return
to normal days Is now practically
complete. The acrobats have return

copper pennies always came forth ,to
lead them back again, During the
war, and for these thirty months
after It, these entertainers disap

The other day they reappeared, un

the small bits at change tossed
them, and the applause and devoted
admiration of the neighborhood.

a photoplay by J. Ernest William

Goldwyn, almost all of the photo
graphy wa3 taken under water. The
photographer was lowered in a long
tube attached to a barge. At the
base of the tube Is a fair-sized work
chamber, one side of which Is made
of glass and resembles the head ot
a searchlight. From the barge, a
large frame of lights is let down in
to the water jto illuminate the
"stage." In "Wet Gold," Mr. William
son . and his actor-divers walked
along the bottom of the sea near
the Bahama islands in search of
submarine pirate's treasure. It is
quite sufficiently perilous looking to
give a decided thrill to the onlook
er, but the searchers, themselves,
seem quite at homo in their sand
and water scenery. It's Jules Verne
come true!

of the fete spirit. Our whole rush
ing, working, city is blooming out
tn toy balloons of all the gay colors
of tho world. Blowing from every
go-cart and pram on Riverside
drive, one sees them, and from auto-'
mobiles, too; while proud fathers
out with their children Sunday after
noon have them tied to waistcoat
buttons and saunter happily along
with .bright bubbles floating above
staid derbies. Tho rowers on the
lake in Central park tie them to
their oars. However disputes mayj
rage as to short or longer skirts,
high necks or low, this is certainly
a sweeping season for balloons.

Take a Lesson From
Big Business
Every person who has money
to spend, mtfbh or little, can
profit from this lesson.
Every large business con
cern has a purchasing agent
or professional buyer. It is
his job to buy to best advan
tage. He must keep posted
on what the firm needs, he
must know values and prices
and sources of supply. He is
constantly gathering infor
mation to help him in his
work and he reads carefully
all the advertisements of
manufacturers from whom he
might purchase.
The whole secret of profes
sional buying, you see, is in
formation. The man with
most information can buy to
best advantage.
Apply this to your own
case. Whether you are pur
chasing manager of a family
or simply buying for your
own personal needs, you must
have information. The place
to get it is in newspaper ad
vertisements. Read Chronicle advertise
ments regularly. They will
tell you more about qualities
and styles and values than
you could ever learn other
wise. They will tell you
where and when to find the
right thing for which you
have been searching.
Reading Chronicle advertisements is time profitably spent. It
will make your money go farther and bring you unthought of
comforts and convenience.
