With damage to growing crops between Price and Castle Gate estimated at thousands of dollars; bridges washed away; traffic on highways and railroads tied- - up; Castle GOVERNMENT ROUNDS OUT TWELVE MONTHS BUSINESS $640,000,000 AHEAD -- Driveways and Walks Flaltes Add to Home Beauty Nonrecurring Items Contribute to Amount; Tax Reduction Big Ahead Perhaps there Is nothing on earth that lends more to the appearance of the surroundings of a home than neat, artistically placed walks and drive ways. Washington The government rounded out the fiscal year with a treasury surplus estimated at to $640,000,000, the greatest in history. Acting Secretary Mills expressed the opinion, however, that the amount was, to an extent, misleading because of items which contributed to it Inasmuch as congress, at its last session, did not pass legislation to apply to least a part of the surplus to further reduction of taxes, it is being applied to decreasing the public debt. It is the intention, however, of congressional leaders to put through a permanent tax redaction bill at the next session and first steps toward that end will be taken when the house ways and means committee meets October 31 to consider the drafting of a new schedule of rates. In reviewing operations of the treasury during the current fiscal year, officials pointed out that along with a reduction of more than $1,000,000,000 in the public debt, several offerings of certificates and bonds bad been floated and approximately $1,828,000,000 of second Liberty loan bonds and a considerable amount of the third Liberty loan had been retired. $635,-000,00- 0 g . Reliability Tour Planes Land New York The fourteen planes entered in the national- - air tour were on the ground at Curtiss field, Long Island, after completing the fifth leg e of their 4110-miljourney. The accomwas from Boston flight plished without accident or incident by twelve of the planes, which arrived at the field an hour and a half after leaving the Boston airport. The other two, one a Waco, piloted by E. W. Cleveland, and A Buhl metal ship, with Louis G. Meister at the controls, were several hours late. The Waco was delayed by a leaky gas line, which held up Its departure. The Buhl, one of the planes forced down in central Massachusetts by a storm, missed the course to Boston when it started for that city and had to come down for fuel at Taunton, Mass. 190-mil- e Southwest Colorado Suffers Flood Durango, Colo. The San Juan basin began to clear the wreckage and repair the damage caused by one of the worst floods in the history of southwestern .Colorado. Rivers in all sections of the basin were receding and clear weather greeted the workers. All highways leading through the San Juan basin have been badly damaged, and no accurate estimate can yet be made of the cost of repairing roads or the length of time that will be required to put them into condition for Railroads have suffered extraffic. ceptionally heavy losses in the flood area. All trains except the Rio Grande Western are being held in the yards at Durango, and the Southern will be able to go only as far as Mancos, thirty miles from here. The Silverton track is so badly damaged that It will be months before trains can be run to the mining town. Lindsey Finally Ousted in Denver Dever, Colo. Ben B.

Every lawn offers a variety of possibilities In location and arrangement. Like streets and highways, walks and driveways must be designed to meet the needs of those who use them While It is generally desirable to have them take the most direct route, pleasing effects can often be obtained by the ose of graceful curves. It Is folly to destroy a fine tree because it hair pens to be In line with the route ot the walk or driveway; a graceful curve around the tree does not Incon s, venlence anyone and it will add to the beauty of the home surroundings. Often such curves con be arranged . so that the garage Is partially hidden behind a clump of trees or bushes. In building such curves provision roust be made for the growth of the tree to prevent It from raising or cracking the concrete. Often it Is possible, by the ose ot colors mixed in the concrete, to give a pleasing tone to the surface, and if desired the walk and driveway can be made somewhat decorative by marking off the surface into geometrical patterns which will harmonize with the architecture of the house.

C. That is about as old a family as one could find anywhere, and it is a family whose pedigree is absolutely unimpeachable. The name Confucius Is a Latinized meanform of the words Kung-fu-tzing Master Kung. In the family temple on the Shantung estate of the ifting family can be seen tbe tablets of all the ancestors of tbe family from 550 B. C. down to tbe present time. I might say further that Confucius considered, when he lived, that he belonged to a reasonably old family ; he traced Ms ancestry back somewhere between 700 and 1,000 years.
