her husband that she was In love with
a. O. Boyce. Jr.. son of Capt. A G
Boyce. Sneed's neighbor. She begged
Sneed to let her go away with Boyce.
The husband's reply was to summon

tarlum. She was not there long before
•he and Boyce eloped. For more than
a month Sneed followed their trail,
•pending thousands of dollars. He
finally located them In Winnipeg,
Canada.
Here he effected a reconciliation
with his wife without seeing Boyce,
and returned home. Two weeks later
he met Captain Boyce, who was seven
ty-flve years old. in a Fort Worth hotel. ,
He suspected tbe father of aiding his I
son's elopemeut. They had words, and
Sneed shot and killed Captain Boyce.
Sneed was tried but the Jury dis
agreed. During his trial he refused
accept ball, preferring Jail because

A few months later Sneed. disguised
as a laborer, went to Amarillo, Tex .
where young Boyce was living, and
shot and killed him. The clans armed
again, but Sneed returned to face triul
and was again acquitted.
willing to admit that It Is unreasonable
to expect our highway commissions
and highway engineers to know exact-
ly what to do under all circumstances.
It Is much less reasonable to expect
local road officials who have devoted
comparatively little study to the sub-
ject, and who have been elected be-
cause of their high standing in the
community as citizens rather than as
highway experts, to have a satisfac-
tory grasp of the problem.
The middle western states which, to
me, seem best to prove this statement
are Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska.

The year Just passed, however, haa

tbe edges of the dark cloud and has
demonstrated to tbe world the celerity
which thla country can adjust Itself to
changed conditions. This Is evidenced ]
by the fact that Canada has been
the first among all countries whose
currencies fell below par to bring that
currency back to par, and even for a
time above par. It did this In the face
of what seemed Insuperabje difficul-
ties, Increased Its exports, lessened Its
Imports, and generally set Its business
bouse In order.
The high standing of Canada as a
nation Is shown by the ease with
which her bonds are absorbed and by
the high prices paid for them, and

ment for some time.

thought little of It because of the fact
that the couple had been reported
quarreling before. A few minutes later
Mrs. Manning ran from the house,
calling for help. The chief ran In pur-
suit of her husband, whom he believed
to have been the person with whom
she quarreled, but soon lost sight of
him.
Neither of the children was home at
the time of the alleged quarrel, the
daughter having gune shopping and
the boy to work. Shortly after the
killing a general alarm to the police of
the adjacent cities and towns was sent
out for the errest of Manning. The
couple had been estranged for a few
years. Manning was employed In

farewell message the hymn. "Nearer

For hours the two men had been ma-
rooned on a sandbar in the river. A
sudden rise of the river had swept
sway their boat while they were hunt-
ing ducks. Their cries brought per-
sons to the banks, hut all rescue at-
tempts failed owing to a heavy flow of
Ice.
The brothers perched themselves on
stump as darkness fell ami water
covered the bar. Huge bonfires were
lit by the watchers on the banks. As
the crest of the flood caine on. the
water rose to the men's armpits.

shouted. And then out of the darkness
of the river came the strains of the
hymn that grew fainter and fainter as
the men drifted on to their death.
No traces of the bodies have been
found, although searching parties
combed the river bottom for miles.

are admirably adapted to the condi-
tions in their several states.
Illinois has a large population, with
nearly 700,000 automobiles and trucks
registered In the year 1921. The area
is comparatively small. They have
constructed a large mileage of pave-
ment.
In Minnesota, with about hnlf of
the automobile and truck registration
of Illinois, and with a much larger
area to be served, there has been com-
paratively little pavement constructed.
The highway commission has confined
Its efforts In tbe main to the construc-
tion of a large mileage of gravel and
graded earth roads. Tbe state Is
favored with a good supply of excel-
lent road gravel and many tourists
from other states can vouch for the
skill with which It has been used.
In Nebraska, with about two-
thirds of the number of automobiles
and trucks found In Minnesota, and
also having a comparatively large
area, the highway commission has
considered It best to confine Its ef-
forts, for the most part, to the grad-
ing and maintenance of n large mile-
age of earth roads. Slany travelers
crossing Nebraska have been sur-
prised by tbe excellent results ob-
tained by their highway department

The people of Missouri are to be
congratulated on having finally adopt-
ed the only policy for handling their
state highway problem that has ever
brought satisfactory results. The
present expenditures may seem large,
but I am convinced that before 20
years have elapsed the people of this
state will be well satisfied with their
Investment.
