counties in Texas through which Jhis
highway passes, to complete a road at
once.
At the meeting last month, one mil-
lion dollars was apportioned to the
several counties along Highway No.
from Texarkana to El Paso, in order
to hasten the building of this roadway

“Should the plan be carried ;.cut, it
would mean active road building across
the state from north to south and

can buy them cheap, but if everyone
is clamoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had, the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty Bonds.
Short-sighted people are dumping the
bonds on the market, and wise ones
are buying them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of a Liberty Bond i\this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
