Everything is lovely as far as the highway commission is concerned. Neither has Mr. Burkett any criticism to make of Attorney Gen eral Dan Moody, who got back for the state $600,000, which the highway commission was willing to let this company have. "If Mr. Moody can collect $600,000 and leave the roads in as good condition as they would be if a second course is applied, of course that is desirabta and commendable, but I doubt if that can be done," he said.

Why Bids Were Not Awarded. Mr, Burkett said that the reason that bids for resurfacing were not "awarded at. a competitive letting was because the urgency of the situation created an emergency.

ELEVEN LOSES TO 'BULLDOGS' Centenary Wages Hard Fight But Bows to Butler on 'Home Coming' Day By JOE R. CARTER Sports Editor of The Times. A fumble on the five-yard line and a well directed kick by "Buster" Nipper, of triple therat fame, kept the Centenary Gentlemen from putting a golden finish on tho first home-? coming day in the history of the college when the local collegians and Butler university Bulldogs clashed at Centenary field Saturday afternoon before a crowd estimated at 6,000. Home Folks Appreciative. Shreveport was out in gala attire the battle to show their appreciation of the effujrts of the local collegians on the gridiron, but they never had a chance to give vent to their enthusiasm.

They were too ex-cited and enthused in the first quar of the Gentlemen's battle to put a demonstration, and after that period they never had a chance. Old Man Gloom stalked in junta few seconds after the start of the second quarter and remained throughout, and the only joy at all was in the ramp of the visitors, who were not expected to be made merry.

The fumble that gave them a touchdown might be regarded as a "break," but it was one of their own "breaks," nnd they were quick grasp it. early in the second quarter, Paul, while' attempting to carry the ball over for a touchdown from ths Gentlemen's five-yard line, turned loose the oval.

(Copyright, 135. tht ConeolMated Preas I Washington, Nov. 21. Business indicators amply support the statement of President Coolidge in "his New York address Thursday nigkt that "Our country is in a state of unexampled and apparently sound and well distributed prosperity." Nineteen twenty-five is reaching for new records in its closing months.

Danger Signals Watched. Spots regarded as danger signals, notably speculation in stocks and speculation in real estate, have been watched closoly and nave receivea attention In recent days in the form of warnings to those thus engaged. It is important to note that there is no speculation in commodities, which is the business element that leads to inflated prices of the necessaries of life and brings about the "boom," and its inevitable conse quence of painful donation ana ae- pression. Nor does there appear to be any immediate danger of speculation in commodities, for stocks oi manuiac-tured nroducts are comparatively low, consumption is reasonably strong in practically all major lines, ami transportation is proceeding without congestion, save in Florida where extraordinary conditions have brought about temporary embargoes against certain classes of rail freight. This situation makes for activity in production, in transportation and in distribution agencies.

The advance in prosperity has not been uniform. Agriculture has improved but the farmer's dollar has not reached the proportionate purchasing nower that is desirable. In dustry, mining, both coal and metals, continues clouded with uncertainty but is definitely in better position than last year, while textiles have started to climb from their slump but still are nervous over prospects.

The answer to Editor Stern's question is this: The best men do their work not fearing punishment or planning reward. They want to do their best for decency's sake, to honor their fathers and mothers, nerve their country, die feeling that they have not disgraced themselves by failure. i The Bible says truly that Jealousy burnt with a most vehement flame, and warns against envy.
