DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6,1925.

STATE APPROVES PROPOSED ROAD Highway Commission Is Favorable To Coast To Coast Route Intimations that the Indiana state highway commission views with a degree of favor the proposed coast to coast short line highway has been received by boosters for the road in cities located along the route. Committees representing Decatur, Huntington. Wabash. Peru and Logansport attended a meeting at Findlay, Ohio, recently, at which time plans were made for laying the matter before the federal highway commission. Seek Shortest Route This bureau, it is said, will consider several routes for a new national highway so that congestion on the Lincoln highway and the Yellowstone Trail will be eliminated. The Coast to Coast Short Line has been proposed as the shortest route from the Pacific to the Atlantic, the route being shorter than any no w in existence. The adoption of the route taking in the cities named would make it necessary for the state to take over a section of road some 35 miles in length from the Ohio state line adjacent to Van Wert to Huntington This stretch of road is at present under county control. Fort Wayne also is striving to have the new road brought northwest from Van Wert over the paved route of the IJneoln highway. Members of the local committe have said however, that they do not believe that this is feasible or that it would meet the approval of the federal road bureau, as the Lincoln highway already is congested and the purpose in establishing the new route is to relieve this condition. Federal Highways Selected

Fiftp thousand miles of roads honeycombing the United States from the Canadian border to the gulf coast and from the Atlantic to the Pacific were selected Wednesday by the joint board on interstate highways as “United States highways" to be designated with uniform road markers. The actual grouping of the roads into main arterial highways was abandoned by the full committee, and was turned over to a which after making tentative designations. wil submit recommendations to the various states for approval. Every federal aid highway tn the United States is included in the system, which provides for no through routes but embaces every state and most points of national and sactjonal interest. When the routing of the highways is completed they wil be numbered so that tourists traveling on any road may know from its number, the territory through which he is passing anti where he is going. The routes also will be posted with uniform signs informing the traveler of curves, railway crossings and other conditions of the road. The Indiana routes: One road runs across the state from Louisville, Ky., to St. Joseph. Mich., byway of Scottsburgh, Seymour. Columbus. Franklin, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Peru. Plymouth, South Bend and Cassopolis Mich. Another from Richmond to Rockville by the way of Indianapolis and Danville. 111-. One goes from Evansville to < hlcago by the way of Princeton. Vincennes. Sullivan. Terre Haute, Rockville and Kentland. Another from Cincinnati to Lansing Mich., by th eway of Richmond Decatur. Fort Wayne, Waterloo, and Marshall. One runs from Fort Wayne to Kentland by the way of Huntington, Wabash. Peru and Monticello. Still another runs from Cincinnati to Vincennes, by the way of Auroia, Brownstown. Mitchell, Shoals and Washington. * Another goes from Shoals to Louisville by the way of English. One duns from Cincinnati to Indianapolis b< the way of Brazil Another goes from Indianapolis to Peoria, IH by the way of Lafayette and Fowler. One goes from Fort Wayne to Joliet 111., by the way of Columbia City, Warasw, Plymouth and Valparaiso. Another runs from Toleao to Michigan City by the way of Angola, Lagrange, Elkhart, South Bend Laporte. —T7 0CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our appereiation for the sympathy, and kindness shown us during the illness and death of our mother, “Grandma" Teeple. by the neighbors and friends, the Rev H--W.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 6. —, (United Press.) —The skies poured "pure gold" 'on Nebraska corn fields today. Rain started falling at an early hour and appeared likely to last all day, thus saving the corn crop, which has been suffering from the longest drouth in the history of Omaha weather bureau. Heavy rains in central lowa yesterday brought hope to farmers who have gone heartily in debt to plant row after row of seed corn in the 1 dry soil More rain in lowa and Nebraska will result in a corn crop that may add millions of dollars to the buying power of the farmers of those two states, agricultural and financial experts said. Vast areas through this section of the state faced certain financial ruin in event of another beat wave such 1 as that of early June. ■ In the last forty days here, only .45 " of an inch of rain has fallen, > o :auto of A NEW TYPE INVENTED I — (Continued from Page One) 1— never troubled by carbon deposits no i poisonous fumes are generated, and L because of the extreme smoothness of I the power impulse, the engine has ■ a flexibility never dreamed of by ; those acquainted with internal combus. tion motors. i The gear shift is practically tinr necessary.

Ask Smith, Yager & Falk or any first class druggist for an original two-ounce bottle of Moone s Emerald Oil (full strength) and retuse to accept anything in its place. It is such a highly concentrated preparation that two ounces lasts a long time and furtrer more if this wonderful discovery does not give you complete satisfaction you can have your money refunded. Special note: People who want to reduce swollen or varicose veins should get a'bottle ot Emerald Oil at once. Applied night and morning as directed they ylll quickly notice an improvement which will continue until the veer aaJ bunches are reduced ot normal.

’BSO for the ESSEX COACH Freight and Tax Extra Never Before a Value Eike This The largest sales of 6-cylinder cars simply reflects the general recognition of greatest car value. But it is important to note how this position of leadership gives Essex advantages in continually improving value to the buyer—because of volume economy, and because of the utmost refinement of workmanship through concentration on practically one model —the Coach. Built on the famous Super-Six principle, the patents which account for Hudson’s famous reliability, brilliant performance and long life, are responsible for the same qualities in Essex. It is the easiest riding and steering Essex ever built —the finest in performance, appearance and workmanship. We believe it is the most economical car in the world to own and operate. Now it holds the greatest price advantage with the finest quality Essex ever offered. 4 Hudson-Essex World’s Largest Selling 6-Cylinder Cars P. KIRSCH & SON Opposite Interurban Station
