Douglas rounty road 'paving," Mr
Breen said. v '
'With prices going down on all
materials used in road pavitig, what

Bodies Co-operating. I
The public highways committee of
the Chamber of Commerce is co
operating with, a joint committee
composed of representatives of the
Automobile club, Rotary club. Auto
Liak-rs association and others to de
vise ways and means for effecting
public improvements during 1921.
It was through the efforts of this
joint committee that approval was
given a $3,000,000 bond issue for road
improvementwork in Douglas coun
ty. The committee has exercised
the policy of "going slow" during
the flatter part of the year "because
of extremely high prices for mater
ials. With some of the material
prices already on the decline and
others about to come down, the com
mittee is now ready to recommend
that contracts for the work be
awarded at an early date. -- Members
of the committee express the desire
,that definite action on the fbad buill
ing program be taken not later than
next spring.

In his letter to Wattles, he said:
"J have made some money mak
ing toys. I read where the kids in
Europe were starving. I haven't
much but the kids need it worse than
I do. It won't save the life of a
kid, but it is half enough and maybe
somebody will give the rest."
Mr. Wattles said the letter and "$5
bill will be forwarded to Herbert
Hoover in New York. Hoover is
national director of the campaign.
