The addition of 1*11.5 miles of Indiana roads to the state highway system is to the advantage of the communities affected, but It will be well for them to be patient, Tlie work the highway commission has in inind for these .roads can not be dqjie at once. Before anything is accomplished arrangements will have to be made between the commission and tile officials of each county ut which roads have been evicted. and the approval of the Governor also must be obtained. The highway commie siou will mark these highways, aid in maintaining them and do what it can to keep them in good condition until funds are available for paving them. The addition of 911.5 miles will bring the total of state roads up to 5,039 5 miles, and this is close to the maximwm urilesge to which th* federal government will give Miwncial Assistance. Federal aid is Wt extended to more than 7 per cent, of the state’s road mileage.

What the highway comiuissiou does depends apou Hie amount of mouey it luis to spend ami the length of time in which to spend it. The commission has its paving program for this year well in hand uztd can uot add much to it. W wig go id'ead from year to year, constructing as much hard surfaced highway as possible aud gradually establishing a system of roads that will be passable at any season of the year and in any kind of weather. AU this takes time aud money. The roads to be taken over in the latest allot went are in all parts of the state, and the plan to link every eiy of any consequence has been furthered to a considerable extent. When the maximum mileage to which federail aid will be granted is reached there is no reason why the state should stop road improvement, as mopey will be available from its owu sources of revenue. — Indianapolis News.

North Dakota us at! the states in the union to try new ideas will probably be the first to test out some new form of liquor legislation. The state has been dry since its admtssiwi in IDgS. but recently a Better Citizenship organization was completed and its members propose to vote only for those candidates who are moist with the light win e and beer propuskian. And out there where the west begun, they tight all over when they fight with out barring gouging, biting, shin kicking and chewing of ears. Wet candidates will seek every office this year and it will be a straight-out and old-fashioned wet and dry battle. Just what they expect to accomplish until some changes are made in the e»nstitutlon or the Volstead law lias not , been made clear, but they can per- j haps find some way of providing the liquid refreshments they desire if they vote hard enough. Those who visited this office today certainly have no doubts as to the Inturest in basketball and when you eousider that similar excitement prevails in hundreds of towns arid eitios throughout the middle west you have some idea of the wonderful growth iu this popular pasttime. It is the hope of the thousands wba hav e learn ed the game arid hnow its thrills that no action will be taken by any of the governing bodies which will weakcu the organizations.

Fleet Os Powerful Armed Seaplanes To Fight Rum Running ( Washington, March 20. — (United I Press) —A fleet of five seapl inert to | guard the Atlantic seaboard against | liquor smugglers will be put in opera- | tion this summer by the Coast Guard. | according to Admiral F. C. Billiard, commandant of the service. 1 An appropriation of $159,000 for the 1 maehinets is requested in the deficiency I appropriation bill pending before Con- | gress and guard oficials said five Am- | phibiau planes would be purchased as . scon as the money is available. Patroiing the coast from the air will mean saving milli ns of dollars an- ' uually. Billiard said. The emal fleet I of seaplanes will be able to cover twice I the distance in one day that it nowtakes the 22 dry navy destroyers to navigate in a week. More than 100 Coast Guard officers are licenses air pilots and available for flying service. With this personnel! Admiral Biliard plans eventually ■ ' to build up a flying service of about 50 seaplanes bo partol the Great lakes, the Gulf, Atlantic and Pacific coast. Under present tentative plans two of the new machines will be detailed for •service off the New England coast to prevent re-etsablishing of “rum eff New York and Massachusetts. One 'plane will operat eoff New Jersey, one off North Car lina and the fift hoff Florida, with Miamia as its base. Oficials -aid that the sky pol’ce would be able to “spot" a liquor ship 30 miles away while the vision from a boat is only about five miles. The flyers after locating a smugglmg ship, will radio to a patrol boat and the capture will then be made by a dry navy surface vessel. The new planes wtill be equipped with radio telephones, powerful searchlights for night operations .and carry machine guns. Thursday Night. March 25, 5:30 to 7 o'clock. U. B. church C. E.
