In other words, the expenditure that would have built four miles of road in 1929, will build five miles now. And 75 or more per cent of the money goes to 1abor, an item of inestimable importance in a time of widespread unemploy- ‘ment. i Wise allocation of road funds will permit states to construct first-class roads at a remarkably low cost. More or less recently developed methods, such as the road-mix surfaces now in use in many-localities, make it possible o build a first-class weatherproof road that will stand up under almost any “amount of traffic, for a very few thousand dollars a mile. These roads are es- pecially suitable for farming areas—and it is the farmer whose roads need is greatest. “Only a small percentage of American farms are sitdated on roads which are passable at all times of the year, irresective of weather conditions. This is the time to build good, reasonable cost roads that become a per- manent investment and future asset.

When the old woman came in the house, he noticed she was crying. “What's the matter, Mrs, Beamish,” asked Art. “Something wrong.’ ~ "It's. Edward,” she replied, the tears ‘streaming - “down her cheeks. “He's aw- ful sick. Oh, my poor boy. He caught cold last week and it got worse and worse. He's so sick, and all day he's kept asking me to get you to come and see him.” “Why sure,” replied Art. “I can’t go now but I will when Mrs. Doray comes Art and Nutty break into Doray’s Drug fthome. if Store to steal the medicine.

Chapter V TT second day under Mrs. Doray’s ‘care, Arthur, dressed in a new suit, ‘hair trimmed, and clean and shining from his morning shower, presented a different sight. Mrs. Doray was justly proud of the metamorphosis as the boy came in the breakfast room. “Look, Jack,” she proudly remarked to her husband. “Doesn’t Arthur look nice?” 3 Doray, eating his breakfast, gave the boy a brief glance. “Beautiful,” was his caustic comment. The breakfast, marked by Art acci- dentally squirting grapefruit juice in _Doray’s eyes, was concluded and Art left for school. ~~ “1 don’t have ‘to tell ‘you to be a good boy, do 1,” asked Mrs, Doray as he started to leave. “No ‘ma’am,” great emphasis. * Arthur replied with * * : On the way to school, Art bumped into Nutty at one of the corner -inter- sections.

That's some suit, all right. ‘Gosh, I'm sure glad to see you. I was just sayin’ to my grandmother that I hoped I saw you. She told me to remember what the Judge said but I told her that no judge can bust us up, ‘can they, huh?” Art's face revealed his conflicting emo- tions as he heard this. He loved Nutty and wanted desperately to talk to him, but he was resolved to be a good boy. Nutty sensed this feeling in his friend's silence. ; “Gee, Art, ain't you going to talk to me at all,” pleaded Nutty. “Aint you even going to say ‘hello’?” Art, very miserable, shook his head. Boylike, Nutty tried to conceal his real emotions. x x ok * x i A week later, while Art was working at his homework, the Dorays reneged their argument over the boy: It started as they were preparing to keep a bridge appointment at the neighbor's house. Doray, still bitter towards Art, insisted that they couldn’t trust the boy in their home alone. “Jack, you're being unfair,” said Mrs. Doray in response to her husband's in- sinuations. “You'll have to admit he’s been here a week now and he’s been as good as gold.” In the dining room, Art looked up from his work and smiled as the woman came towards him. “Art,” she began, “we're going out for the evening and I'm going to leave you in charge of the house. You won't go out, will you? Not for anything.” “No, wae, he shseplied, After the Pos left, Art heard a knock on the door.

Faced with a decision, he quickly made up his mind. He ran to the side- board and took the money in a little jar in which Mrs. Doray kept small amounts of money to pay tradesmen.

Just then Mrs. Beamish entered the recom with the doctor. The latter took one look at Nutty, and then turned to the old lady, nodding significantly. The boy was dead. Cad Ee a Te Art, broken-hearted and sick, plodded up to the Doray home. He leaned his head against the front door, ‘took out his handkerchief and cleaned his tear- streaked face. Suddenly he heard angry voices coming from within. The Dorays, returned from the bridge game, had immediately noted Art's ab- sence. Doray, discovering the money gone from the jar, instantly gloated over the apparent dishonesty of the boy. Mrs. Doray despite the undeniable proof of the wrongdoing, refused to believe that the boy had broken his word. At this, Doray grew angrier. “All right,” Art heard him yell to Mrs. Doray. “Before you brought that boy here, we were a pretty happy couple. Ever since, we've had nothing but quar- rels and unhappiness. Now either he goes out of this house or I, and Edie, as much as I love you, I'll go, even if it means divorce. You choose between us right now.” . It was Art who made the decision. Sick and heart-broken over Nutty's death, and. now faced with the fact that he might be the means of severing Mrs. Doray from the man she loved, he made up his mind quickly. He ran into the house and confronted Doray. “The latter grabbed Art's shoulder. “Don’t put your hands on me,” Art, twisting loose. Mrs. Doray gave him a reproachful look. “Art,” she said quietly, “I asked you not to leave the house for anything. Why did you?” “Yes,” interrupted Doray. where's the money?” Art stared piteously at Mrs. Doray. He knew that what he was about to say would hurt her and destroy her faith in him. Nevertheless, he was resolved to protect her happiness at the cost of his own dishonor. “I went out because I wanted to go out,” he cried, fairly snarling at her. “I took your money too. What're you going to do about it? I never asked you to come and live here, and I don’t want to stay any more. I ain’t good and I never will be good. I'm bad. I'm the worst kid in town. Now, how do you like that” He picked up the empty change jar, crashed it onthe floor and ran out, eluding Doray’s wild grab for him, cried “And (To be continued) this Post Serial will be shown at ‘Kingston theatre on Monday and Tuesday, June 6 and 7.

Baby Lindbergh, since his disappearance, had come to be a symbol of hope. Deep in every heart was the feeling that this merry-faced, curly-head- ed babe could not come to any real harm—that sooner or later he would be returned to his mother’s arms. This hope was strengthened by the negotiations conducted in Colonel Lindbergh’s name by various persons who, they believed, had made contact with the kidnapers. The successive moves in these negotiations, as revealed in press dispatches, were followed with breathless interest by the public. Hopes were dashed once when Colonel Lindbergh’s agent paid $50,000 on a false ransom promise, but they rose again on the report of further con- || tact with the criminals. was made with the real kidnappers. "It seems extremely doubtful now that contact ever Finding of the body so near the Lindbergh home gives rise to two the- ories. The first is that the child was slain by a madman who hoped in this way to assert power over the famous aviator, or to take vengeance for some fancied grievance. frenzy of fear at possible capture. Secondly, the kidnaper may have killed the baby in a Whatever the motive for the crime, the duty of the police is plain. Every effort must be made to find the person or persons who did this awful deed. Detectives failed miserably in effort to trace the kidnapers while the boy was missiniz. Now that the baby has been found there must be some clue that will put them on the right scent. 3 ‘All America cries for punishment of the murderer of this innocent Siler Bini Star Gazette. : peel AN JUST WHEN XY HAD HIM GOING WITH- ouT EATING -Dallas- A very enjoyable party was attended by the following at the home of Mrs. George Augerton, Tuesday evening. |The funds derived are to be turned over to the ommunity, Fund.

Inability to hit Sedalko was Shaver- town’s downfall, as was the case last year when he twirled for Idetown. ° Dallas presented a new lineup with but two local boys, Bill Labarr and Tommy Reese playing the outfield. Payton Lee, also a local boy was on the sidelines keeping score. Local fans are making plenty of Isquawks since the players of the valley are allowed to play in the local cir- cuit. Many contend that if it is for the Rural section, local players should ‘be given preference. If local boys are not given an opportunity to play how ‘can they develop into ball players is {the question that is being discussed its | wherever baseball ‘is having in- Innings. We'll admit that the bringing in of the boys from the valley will give lo- cal fans a faster brand of baseball, but how do the older fans stand. It is a known fact that many of the old tim- ers here would sooner see local boys out on the field scoring 30 or more runs than two evenly matched clubs that score but five or six runs bs= tween them. : One player and a prominent busi- ness man of Dallas claim that the in- troduction of players in the local lea- gue will kill basebal here. Tommy Reese is still bale to keep pace with the younger players of the league. Twice last week he backed into the fence to take hard hit fly ball off the bat of Parry, centerfielder lon the Shavertown team. Another time he robbed Abe Winters of a sure two into second bagger when he raced base to take a low hit ball. Kitchen was the star of the Shav- ertown team, getting a scratch hit and accepting numerous hard chances in the field and taking part in three double plays. In the Fernbrook-Orange game, Marty Haas, a veteran of the Wyom- ing league was the outstanding star, getting three hits out of four times at bat and playing a bang-up game at third.
