Road Expenditures Increase
"RanM inrrpase in total exrenditures . for
roads and bridges, growth of building and main
tpnanre activities under State supervision, and a
sharp decrease in the proportion Of contributions
in the form of statute labor mark the develop
ment of highway work in the United States dur
ing the past 12 years," says a bulletin of the
Department of Agriculture. "The. total length of public roads in the United States outside the limits of incorporated towns and cities was about 2,452,000 miles on
January 1, 1916. Of this, about 277,000 miles, or
11.3 per cent, were improved with some form of surfacing. The mileage of surfaced roads has been increasing at the rate of about 16,000 miles
a year, and in 1915 approximately one-half of this increase was made under the supervision of
State highway departments. In addition these departments supervised the maintenance of nearly 52,000 miles of main and trunk line roads. "The increase in expenditures for road and bridge work in the United States has been from approximately $80,000,000 per year in 1904 to about $282,000,000 in 1915, an increase of more than 250 per cent. The expenditure of State funds during this same period increased from about $2,550,000 to more than $53,000,000. In
addition, more than $27,000,000 of local funds was spent under State supervision in 1915, bringing the total road and bridge expenditures managed by the States to $80,514,699. This amount is greater than the total expenditures for roads and bridges from all sources in 1904."
Highway Day
One day has been set apart in the State Centennial celebration at Indianapolis in recognition
of the part highways played in the development
of Indiana. It is a strange coincidence that Oc
tober 12 has been selected, for this is the day on
which Columbus discovered America and opened up a new route of travel. Millions since then have crossed from Europe to make America their
home. ,
One need not be a deep student of history to
know that civilization follows trails and roads
The development of a country depends entirely upon transportation. If a farmer by reason of
bad roads cannot market his crops, all his hard work is set at naught. If an industry cannot market its output, it is forced to close its forges. The development of roads in Indiana was one of the powerful agencies in the development of its resources. The Old National Road, running through Richmond, was one of the big highways that brought settlers to the west. Many a district in Indiana was settled quickly because pioneers were able to reach the state over this road. Dr. I. S. Harold is responsible -for the state celebration on October 12. Committees have been active all over the state arranging for large turnouts of automobiles to travel along the historic highways to Indianapolis. Wayne county, being the western gateway through which the National Road enters Indiana will take a prominent part in the day.

KISS MARGARET JLADD. .a,,so Extensive ranches, sombreros and six-shooters are so deeply assoelated with Texas In the average mind, that it is hard to realize the Lone Star state has produced some geniuses of the finer arts. It remained for Miss Margaret Ladd, born on a Texan ranch, to attain the distinction of being the first American girl to occupy the position of premier danceuse at the famous Opera Comique, in Paris. Miss Ladd went to Paris six years ago and rapidly climbed the ladder of fame. She has never danced in this country, but is arranging a tour for the coming winter. The picture shows Miss Lad in a pose from her "Bacchanala" dance.

A quavering old voice sounded from the doorway a moment later, and Blaine turned in his chair to face the aped, erect, black-clad figure which Btood there.

At length he roused himself with a little start, and went on. "At any rate, when I had the room in order, and was standing by the table taking a last look about, my hand rested on the casket, and quite without thinking, sir, I raised the lid.

My course is nearly run, and this great new country has no place in it for the aged. I I will go now, sir. I have much to attend to, and my master is lying alone." When the old servant had taken his departure, Henry Blaine picked up the envelope. It was addressed in a firm, unshaken hand, and with a last touch of the sardonic humor characteristic of the dead man, it had been stamped with the seal of the renowned and honored House of Stafford. The detective broke the seal, and lifting the flap, drew out the folded letter page and became immediately absorbed in Its contents. He read: To Be Continued
