Hawkins Tells How Law Is to Be Applied in State. W. S. Hawkins, Deputy State High- way Commissioner, sends us the fol- lowing statement explanatory to the duty of the newly created State High- way Department in connection with the application of the law providing for state aid in dragging inter county seat roads: The first step that has been taken | by the State looking toward an ulti- | mate plan of State aid in the con- struction of our highways was in the enactment by the last session of the Legislature of what is commonly | known as the ‘“‘Painter Road Drag’”’ law, or Senate Bill No. 409. This law provides for dragging, .under contract, all class ‘‘A’’ roads, or roads from one county seat to that of an adjoining county. For this pur- pose there is appropriated, by ~the State, the sum of $15.00 per mile, payable in monthly installments, up- on presentation to the State Auditor of certificates signed by the Chair- man of the County Highway Board and the State Highway Commission- er. This certificate will set forth the number of miles of road on each route. It is further provided the County Court of each county shall appoint a County Highway Board of three members, whose term of office will be two years and who shall serve ‘without pay. Within ten days from ‘the date of their appointment they -shall meet and organize by selecting one of their number Chairman and way Commissioner at Jefferson Gig cons ot te minutes of such Lo member to dy of this Board io ac in with the Boards of ad-|: tained in his files. All specifications, proposals and forms of contracts will be furnished by the Commissioner upon application. Cannon No Longer The “Goat” Washington, D. C. May 23.—‘Un- cle Joe’”’ Cannon, former Speaker of the House, is back in his old haunts as jaunty as every, wearing the in- evitable carnation in the lapel of his coat and with the same rakish tilt to the big black cigar that has made him famous. He is here to attend a meeting of the Lincoln Memorial Commission, in which both he and former Senator Cullom of Illinois retain membership. The former Speaker, who is in great spirits, already has taken oc- casion to gloat over the troubles of his former colleague, Representative Mann of Mlinois, minority leader of the House. Mann was Cannon’s floor lieuten- ant during all the time the former Speaker wielded the gavel and earned the title of ‘‘Czar.’”’ “It's mighty fine,” retrospectively, blowing a huge cloud of smoke from his cigar, ‘‘not to have to be the goat any more.” The. former Speaker declined to discuss politics or to comment upon progress of the Democratic program.

Saved in Fire} 4 wealthy man who died in Brus- Major today officially announced the appointment of Col. Frank W. Buf- fum of Louisiana as State Highway Commissioner, and Wyatt S. Haw- kins of Jefferson City as assistant. Col. Buffum has for years been an effective ‘booster’ for better roads. Mr. Hawkins, as required by law, is an engineer. “The first proposition to be taken up will be the inter-county seat road dragging, in which the State will aid by paying $15 a mile per year,’’ said Col. Buffum. “T believe that the most feasible routes should be selected for these roads, and inasmuch as the State is helping pay for the work it should see that the money is expended so that results will be obtained.” Mrs. William Woodrum of Jeffer- son City has been selected by the Board of Managers of the St: Louis school for the Blind as matron. She willtake charge August 15.

C., May 24,—At- | he poh Samuel Gompers, John a court injunction in the Buck’s Stove | ti vi Te cu The court'is in re- sels recently left much of his large fortune to a girl who was unacquaint- ed with him. He was very eccentric, and, like Diogenes, he set out to find an honest man. His tub was an om- nibus and, his lantern a small coin. In the omnibus he took his seat near the conductor and always showed himself very obliging, passing up the money-of -passengers-and—returning the change, but to the. latter he al- ways managed to add a franc or half- franc. Then he would watch those to whom itcame. They would count it carefully, notice the extra coin, and invariably slip itinto their pockets. But at lasta young woman passed hers back; with ‘Conductor, you have given me haif a franc too much.”” The man followed her to her. home, learned what he could about her and made his will in her favor, though he never told her that. the half franc returned would stein her.a million. ©’ He Swears 15 Eggs Hatched 17 Chickens Quincy, Ill., May 21.—Walter How- ard has taken an oath before a Notary Public that he secured seventeen chickens from a setting of fifteen eggs.
