For while there we had the privilege of getting acquainted with boys ami girls from every part of the state. We bad not time to idle while there for everything had been carefully planned and programs were given Io every boy and girl so that they could be at each meeting at the proper time. Mr. Austin, assistant state club leader who was chairman at most of the meetings was as lively as a club boy himself and did his best to see i that all the rest of us had a good time. The wonderful tilings I saw at Pur due gave me an idea to do farm wok Hie modern way. The tine stock they have produced jis the fruit of many

Oliver, former state auditor, lit Johnson county near Edinburg, stale highway officials this week con demned the. structure and [tut a detour in force while a temporary struc ture is going up, to later be replaced by a reinforced concrete structure of modern architecture and strength. Condemnation of the old structure which spans Sugar Creek, was made when Director Williams of th" highway department, and W. J. Titus, bridge engineer, inspected it a few days ago. A good detour over county roads of excellent surface will lie in force until about June lit when tlte temporary structure now being rusheil, will be opened. The old bridge is 25d feet long, lite temporary wooden structure will be 225 feet, and the permanent new liridge, for which bids will lie opened tin' latter part of June, will be 225 feet and cost about $35,000, Mr. Wil liams says. Highway officials pointed out to day that closing the road at this point is purely a safety measure. State Road 1 which runs from Ixntisville, (Ky.t to the Michigan slate line north of South Bend, is one of the major trunk lines of the Indiana state road system. Many busses use it constantly. Whereas, half a decade ago the bus business was infantile, so to speak, and possibly but one or two lives might have been jepordized, today the large buses frequently carry two and three dozen persons whose lives are at stake. In the meantime the brige is rapidly deterorating and the responsibility is too great to longer permit its use liy tlte public. Work on building a new pit under a bridge < rossiug the Wabash river al Peru, is progressing nicely, department officials say and excellent headway is being made on building the coffer dam. Traff c is using the old structure and will continue'to do so during the course of general reclam

ation, other than for about a couple of days later In the season when It will be dosed. By reclaming this bridge at a cost of 912,500, the commi don is saved the expense of a new bridge which would cost at least 9150,000 —oSi’creary Weeks Spends A Comfortable Night Boston, May 39 tUnited Press) — Secretary of War John W.
