He sent a suit to he cleaners a few days ago and when he got it back was surprised to find his purse containing two five dollar bills wrapped up with it. He had forgotten to remove it and had not missed it. You never can tell about the weather here. New Years day is likely to any temperature but rare,y does it arrive with a nice warm curing rain as it di dtoday. Two or three trains passing through here just at twelve o’clock last night helped the "footers” announce the arrival of the New Year. o SEES CHANCES FOR BIG GAINS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) who needs help is usually an individualist who doesn’t understand or care much about the intricacies of cooperative methods. He feels 'hat he has been left out of the program of legislative help by the Hoover administration. He also knows that the tariff lifts the manufacturer out of the hole' and allows him to increase his prices on, nearly all the commodities which the farmer must buy. Thus 'he farmer understands that prices are inauipulatecl against him, although lie is the producer of the raw material. “Many voters in the rural communities took the promises of 'andidate Hoover at their face value. They expected tlie special, se sion of Congress which Mr Hoover called to adjust tariff schedules so as to benefit the farmers. But the special session lisillusioned them and they now ealize how futile it is to expect relief from tlie Republican party >o long as its policies are dictated >y Joseph Grundy and other superprotectionists. They filled the ■ommittee rooms ami the corridors nf tlie Capitol with their lobbyists who made their demands for increased tariff duties and got them, with the result that when the special se sion was adjourned, as the arlff MH was then pending, the fisparity between agriculttire and ndustry was even greater than before.”

MUCH PAVEMENT ADDED IN 1930 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Expanses of the department in 1929 aggregated approximately $19,100,000 according to Owen S. Boling, iecretary of the commission and assistant director. Os this amount, 514,418,358.90 was spent for actual construction; $1,713,743.48 was expended for bridges; $856,437.65 for he motor transport division; $3,115,155.19 for maintenance and $13,968.14 for administration. In 1928 the comparative figures were construction, $13,439,320.29; maintenance, $3,293,590.13; Motor ransport, $827,124.65; administration, $73,847.12; .and bridges $1,354,507.46. Receipts and reimbursements for 1929 totalled $19,494,551.44 as compared to $16,146,081.18 for 1928. Receipts from the gas tax were $9,173,723.14. compared to $7,287,318.14 the preceding year. Sale of auto licenses netted the department $5, 950,100.16 in 1929 and $5,435,135.14 in 1928. Federal Aid increased the highway funds $2,368,772.56 this year compared to $2,655,734.83 in 1928. In the past 10 years, the highway department has spent $120,698,684. 56 in construction of roads. Os this amount, $21,512,450.98 lias accrued from federal aid. Brown's recommendations for improved laws governing the use of highways include enforcement of regulilions regarding the weight of loads that may be transported over the road and empowering the department to regulate speed on detours in order that maintenance cost of detours may be min-imized-and new roads built with the money saved. ijJMI

Blown urges definite legislative steps to protect the $12(1,000,000 investment in state roads. If the highways are to be subjected to excessive loads, the state will need to begin rebuilding paved roads long before the natural life of the pavemen' has expired, thus eliminating the amount of new roads that may be paved, he said, v It is believed also, that within a short time, new highways will be constructed at a width of 20 feet Instead of the regulation of 18 feet, as the annual increase in motor traffic, and the increase In speed along highways, has made travel dangerous on the narrow roads.
