... PROPOSED EXTENSION OF STATE HIGHWAY"
There is a considerable debate, agitation, if not to: say worry
by the Dallas-Shavertown folks these days over the rumors of
the State and County re-locating the State Highway starting from
the end of the new highway at Trucksville and continuing up to
d even through Dallas. “Dame Rumor” has it planned to move
the trolley track over to the right from Mt. Greenwood to Fern-
rook. Then take a large portion of the present trolley bed for
ew highway. The plan has two major advantages. First, the
raightening of the highway. Second, eliminating the two trol-
at Mt. Greenwood and Fernbrook, respectively. Both
advantages are highly commendable, well worthwhile and in fact
needed. There are some disadvantages, chiefly, first, that of
whole loss of real estate values to present owners situated on the
highway. Second, a loss due to scrapping present business loca-
tions along the highway. ;
+ Itis trué that from the total appraisal value of property there
will be no loss, because where property value slump because of the
roposed move, the property values facing newly located highway
will increase. It’s just robbing Peter’to pay Paul so to speak—
taking value from one pocket and putting it into another. There |dore W. Stoeckel, living in the old

The diplodocus was the most gigantic animal that ever lived. It
was eighty-five feet long and weighed sceres of tons. Yet despite
its tremendous bulk it had a brain the size of an English walnut.
Millions of years ago the diplodocus flourished. But when con-
ditions changed, it was unable to adapt itself to a new existence.
Other animals, less strong, but more intelligent, inyaded its do-
main. And so, with the unceasing march of progress, its race
& ~~ died out and vanished.

_ “MUSSY” QUITS WHEN BLUFF IS “CALLED” | First National Bank |
~ Hipolito Irigoyen—we don’t pretent to know how to pronounce oh
~ it—is president of the Argentine Republic.
: He is also a “first-class fighting man.” That was revealed
years ago when he kept his country out of the European war de- |
spite all kinds of pressure and propaganda.
It was demonstrated again last week when he “called” one
of Mussolini's “bluffs” and the noisy dictator “quit” within forty-
eight hours.
Mussolini holds that children of Italian parents, EVEN IF
BORN ON FOREIGN SOIL are still Italian and subject to his
whims.
: He recently tried out his theory on an Argentinian of Italian
7 extraction. Hipolito Irigoyen filed a polite but firm dissenting
opinion. Mussolini, thinking he had the upper hand, ignored it.
~ Irigoyen promptly closed the port of Buenos Aires to Italian
shipping, thus shutting off one of Italy’s most profitable markets. C. A. Frantz, 2nd Vice-Pres.
