KASSON SON Eighty-one Yean Old. The relatives and a couple of near neighbors went to the home of Mrs. John Tysor on Tuesday afternoon to wish her mother, Grandma Holmes, a very happy birthday. Grandma Holmes is 81 years old.

Through sickness and rheumatism she has become acripple and invalid Though her body is infirm her mind is as bright and active as it was many years ago. She received many Post Cards and remembrances from her friends in Geneseo which pleased her very much to know so many thought of her on her birthday. 1 D(o OB DUE A circular from Frank J. Smith, president of the Kansas Good Roads association, states that the association will bring suit at once before the Supreme court to obtain a decision as to whether tho State can legally improve the public roads. John A.

Hall, of Pleasanton, and other prominent lawyers have been retained ret the case before the court at once, with a view to securing an early decision. It has been accepted by nearly everybody that the Constitution prohibits-the State from aiding in the improvement of our public highways, and the Federal Government may deny our state its portion of the Federal appropriation 12,250,000) because of this supposed prohibition. Many good lawyers have held that the Constitution does not prohibit the state from improving the roads. Section of Article 11 says "For the pur. pose ht making public improvements the state may contract public debts." Then Section 8 of the same article reads "The State shall never be a par-ty in carrying on any works of public improvement" A liberal construction of the Con.

stitution at this time might open the way for the State to Co-operate with the Federal Government and with the counties in building roads without waiting two or three years to have the Constitution amended.
