announced by Secretary of Agricul
ture Houston Of this great auiu about
1 ( 110 . 000,000 reiiraseuta federal funds
Various slates have authorised an
aggregate of 1224.800,000 of bonds,
and proposals for Issues of $214,000,
Oo0 will be submitted to voters next
it Is estimated that funds al
year.
ready provided will be sufUclent to
finance next year a program four
times greater than any that has ever
been undertaken.
it Is believed that but for the fed
eral legislation and appropriations
passed by Democratic Congresses
there would hare been very little
progress In the building of highways
The plan of "matching" every dollar
of state money with an equal amount
from the federal Treasury greatly
stimulated the construction of new
and the reconstruction of old roads
The record Indicates that between
July 1911. and November, 1818, the
United Spites Department of Agri
culture approved 1345 projects In
volving Ihe Improvement of 12,168
miles of new highways, at an esti
mated cost of $181,143,(44. The Uni
ted States contributed $78,682.167 of
this amount.
Since Ihe passage of the federal aid
road act 1827 projects have been ap
proved These contemplate the con
elruellon of 18 58« miles of read al ai
outlay of $226.267.847. of which $86.-1
488,140 will be borne by the Feder»
(iovernmeut.
Secretary Houston says that very
few laya have produced greater re
aults than those on the subject of
good roads
"It seems clear In the ctrcum
stances that the principal limiting
factor in Che program for 182(1 will ha
those of rail transportation, produc
tion of materials, adequacy of con
tractors' organisations and a supply
of labor." Itecrelary Houston says.

WILL IT CAPTURE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 1920?
/
"The political center of gravity In
the nation has shifted • • • to the
states that lie between Ihe Mississippi
Blver and the Pacific ( oust"—.New
Tork Times editorial.
This opinion Is typical of an Idea
which It rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There Is a feeling that
"the West is In the saddle for the pres
idential nomination In 1920."
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential electiumhas made It a
P«'eot factor In future calculations,
Moreover, the politicians know that In
case the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment dues not become operative
in time for the next national election
there are. nevertheless, Itl states west
ef the kllsalsslppl which have already
given their women the franchise, add
la« an Increment of some six million
votes, which might easily turn the elec
tion on# way or Ihe other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the Kant as well
as of the Waat ere seriously consider
ing whether It would not be good poli
tics to taka a western candidate.
It Is significant that three of the
most generally talked atmut presldeu
tlal possibilities for 1920 come from
the Car West.
They are United States |

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan with el«ctric starting and lighting system, with demountable .
rims with 3.4-inch tire« all around, it a family car of class and comfort, both in
summer and in winter. For touring it is a most comfortable car. The large
plate glass window« make it an open car when desired, while in case of rain and
all inclement weather, it can be made a most delight
ful closed car in a few minutes. Rain-proof, dust
proof, fine upholstering, broad, roomy seats. Simple
in operation. Anybody can safely drive it. While
it has all the distinctive and economical merits of
the Ford car in operation and maintenance. "Won't
you come in and look it over?

corporations, especially of the rail

all natural resource» of the country,
Including water power, coal and oil

ly for preparedness, and later he »lg
orously supported all measures of the
administration fur the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
ing the whole power of the nation Into
the successful prosecution of the war. •
Mr. Poindexter believes that Bolshe

national spirit should be strongly tak
en In hand and that leaders In at

should be severely punished. He Is
opposed to any scheme for creating a
