' ' . l Do you realize that; every time you drive your car on an unpaved highway you are actually taxing yourself one to four cents a mile? i j This is the cost of increased repair, tire and gasoline bills. ; j, Highway research has definitely established these facts.: i Each year you tax yourself in this way a good many dollars. ; . Instead of spending this money for increased transportation costs, why not invest it in Concrete Highways and pay yourself some dividends? Concrete Roads and Streets pay for - themselves in the saving they effect on the cost of motoring. s - , Their maintenance cost is so low that this saving alone returns good dividends on the investment year after year. , You are imposing an unnecessary tax - on yourself from which you get no return, . ' by failing to work for more Concrete Highways. ! i Not in, a long time have general con ditions been so favorable for carrying on -such public works as permanent high , i way building. . , ; v Your highway authorities are ready r to carry on theifjjshare of this great T public work.

About $600 was secured, including a spe cial donation of $100 from Miss Bush, $30 from Dr. W. B. Morse and $5 from other sources.

The pair which escaped last night were William Landles, 1 1 , of Eugene, and Albert Dicicco, 16, whose real' name is -said to , be Berton : McLean. ; Landles is of medium complexion, has hazel eyes, dark brown hair, is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.

The Statesman). -The Boy Scouts of Silverton entertain ed the Girl Scouts at the Metho dist church Monday evening of this week. An exceptionally good time was reported by those at tending., The boys went through their usual ceremonies and busi ness meeting. The girls also "went through part of their regular rou tine work. Following this a pro gram of, games had been planned and were carried out. The boys patrols put on stunts and the pa trol putting on the poorest stunt washed the dishes following . the serving of . refreshments. This lot fell to patrol 2. Besides the mem bers of the Girl and . Boy Scouts, their leaders were present. These were Rev. S. Hall, Ellison Bristol, Mrs. A. , O. . Nelson, Miss . Esther Larson. Never despair.

' i . 'What about that trap-door?' Mr. Drake asked me with a note of apprehensive disapproval in his low tone. "That will never do. There is a way out from under neath, isn't there, Mrs. Graham?" Lillian's hand was pressing my arm In a code signal which meant "Don't speak. Just nod . your head." i V , I gave a silent affirmative with a sudden terrifying heart-shaking remembrance of my .having had constructed an outer entrance to the place beneath the old corn crib transTormed by Dicky into a studio. Under the floor of that building my baby boy had been held a prisoner while I frantically searched woodland and meadow for him. When he finally had been restored to me, with an' illo gical reasoning, truly feminine ob scession, I had felt that I could not endure the knowledge of there being . no way out from beneath the house.. Dicky had , humored me in the absurd notion,, and a primitive exit from beneath the old structure had been devised , by inventive Sam Ticer. "Perfectly safe," Lillian said reassuringly. "He'll be too well tied up. Don't worry." A Rehearsed Conversation. a That Smith was straining his ears to , hear , their low, almost whispered tone, I was as sure as I was that there were certain words of the colloquy which had been in tended for his hearing, "trap door," "way out," "underneath" and "too well, tied up" , certainly had been uttered in Just enough louder accents to enable a keen eared listener to catch them. ' I acquitted either Lillian or Allen Drake of carelessness, and there fore knew that the man. Smith purposely had been given an im pression that if he could tree him self from the ropes tying. him, he might find a way! out. of escape. : Allen Drake . spoke next, in cas ual accents. "Everything's all right then. I'll just step over with the boys and attend to tying him up my self. I don't trust their brand of roping. Mrs. Graham, do you Buppose you could rustle a couple of sandwiches and a glass of milk, or a cup of cold coffee, if Katie has left any, for this gifted gentle man? There's no use starving even the devil. . It isn't exactly crocket." I caught his meaning, of course. He wished me to give Smith the fortification of food and drink for the escape which he and , Lillian planned that the man should make. With an apparent sulky reluctance, for I was afraid Smith might suspect - eager acquiescence on my, part, I started toward the door. 1 lan said. an extra cup for myself; -I Must Go!" 'Katie is too good a house keeper to leave coffee in the - pot overnight and I happen to know there is no milk. But, if you have to have it, I can make a pot of fresh coffee in a few minutes and there is cream. ; " "If you will be so kind," Mr. Drake returned stiffly, as If he yg S-j i 'lis " i i ' 0; , 1 1p 1 j-. This &tore will be closed on Thanfeseivine Day as usual. It is fitting that a 'day should be set aside each year to give thanks to the Omnipotent for the blessings received. f It is, a time-honored custom, observed on the last Thursday in November since 1863 jwhen President Lincoln so declared by pro clamation. J j j t I It was first observed in America when in 1 1621 the Plymouth Pilgrims devoted the day to an acknowledgment of their first harvest " j ' . ; " .

Til go with you, Madge," Lil- Perhaps I can rustle Do you want the grub brought outdoors?" 1 "No. I'll send one oCrthe men in for it," Mr. Drake replied,. "Would you mind asking them to come in as you go past the ver anda? "I'll send them right in," Lil lian promised, and attended to the errand forthwith. . She did not speak again until the kitchen door had closed upon us, and then .she punctuated her words with a . littler impromptu dance step. I surmised that iden tification of Smith was a distin guished - personal triumph, and that: she was giving way to her own enthusiastic gratification in a manner Tare to her. "Oh, Madge!" she - exclaimed, stopping in front of me and seiz ing me by the shoulders.: "Every thing is turning out just as I had planned. And did you see how he swallowed that stuff about the trap door? His mental processes are reacting in precisely the man ner we thought they would. ' He thinks we've taken every precau tion against his escape, and he's using every atom of his " really clever and ingenlus brain cells to find a way of untying hiaf bonds. Allen is going to use a lot . of funny knots,: seemingly very intri cate and unusual but which -will be a child's play to Smith, once he has seen them done. And Allen is going to work very slowly, so that Smith will have plenty of time and opportunity to'study his work. Ohi It's all turning out beauti fully!." - "There's only - One '- hitch, she said slowly. . "Tom Chester has been watching that- big car whose owners we are sure are in' league with Smith, and he has charge of the men who are going to folic Smith's trail tonight. It's u shame to disturb him, hut if h '.. conscious, I must talk to him, a: I find out how his part of the worl can be done." From the hall outside we hear a raucous voice, quavering with weakness, ' but evidently , deter mined: . v "I don't care if It kills me.
