Good Roads Indicate Prosperity.

A Louisville correspondent, in discuss
ing the character of roads in jefferson
county, Mo-. writes to R. G. Dun g. Co.
that after years of experience these roads
are bad; that the cost to haul farm prod
ucts to Louisville during December, Jan
uary and February exceeds practical
ly the cost of transportation by railroad
of such products from New York to
Louisville. When farmers have held
over crops for an expected advance in
prices, it is usually found the roads are
impossible. He also refers to the diff
Guilty farmers children have in obtain
ing an education at public schools. mas
much as all members of the family are
required to help save the crops, and the
months of December, January, Februa-
ry and March are the only ones in which
they have the benefit of free school.
Of late several meetings have been held
in an effort to arouse an interest in bet
ter roads, in which it is expected the en-
ployment of convict labor will cut fig

have secured good country roads, max
ing a special appropriation of from 5000
to 81 500 per mile for improved road
ways, are the most prosperous counties

REAR ADMIRAL WALKER. exactly new one
to him, however, for the reason that as
acting rear admiral in command of the
famous white squadron he took the Chi
cago, Atlanta, Boston, Yorktown and
Dolphin, five of our modern cruisers,
in grand swing round the circleto show
the nations of the globe that Uncle Sam
was regaining his old time prestige as
one of the rulers of the seas.
Rear Admiral Walker was born in
Hillsboro, N. H., nearly 30 years ago.
In 1856 he was graduated from the Unit
ed States naval academy and saw great
deal Of service during the civil war. AS
lieutenant on the Connecticut he assist
ed in blockading the Atlantic coast in
1861 and was on the Winona when she
aided in capturing New Orleans and
Vicksburg. He was made lieutenant
commander in 1862, and cooperating
with General Sherman in the Yazoo riv-
er campaign forced his way through the
Yazoo pass and commanded the naval
battery that shelled Vicksburg from the
rear. After the fall of Vicksburg Walk
er captured Yazoo City and was in COM
mand of the DeKalb when she was sunk
in is minutes by torpedo. In 1866 he
commanded the Shawmut and aided in
capturing the forts near Wilmington, N.
G. Several years ago he was made a
commodore.
The pay of a rear admiral at sea is
5000, on shore duty $4,000, on leave or
waiting orders $4,000. Besides Belknap
three other rear admirals will be retired
this year under the age limit law. They
are Bancroft Gherardi, A. E. K. Benham
and John Irwin. The last named is now
in command of our naval forces at Homo
lulu. There are about 80 living rear adj
mirals on the retired list at present. In
point of seniority Gherardi is now rank
ing rear admiral of tho navy.

THE ENSIGN.

The wars of the last 70 years have cost
Russia 1885, 900, 900 and the lives of ga, 900
men.
The principal nations of the world have
1921 warships, mounting 1888 guns, most
ly of very heavy caliber.
Germany spends every year on the i'm
perial army AIS, 900, 900 marks; on the navy,
AZ, 000,0 00. A mark is about 25 cents.
There is evident uneasiness in England
over the rapid growth of the Russian navy
and the strong probability that it will be
found acting in concert with the French
feet in the next great war.
Owing to the spread OF dissent in the
Russian army the car. on the advice of M.
Pobiedonotzoff. the chief Of the holy synod,
has issued ukase to the effect that SOL
diers and officers belonging to any other
faith than the orthodox Greek church will
henceforth receive no further promotion.

of the scenes. This may or may not be
true, but it is not new at any rate. 1t was
done many years ago, when dealers even
furnished certain Autographs depicting
scenes from the play and showing conspicu-
ously their places of business. Everybody
had almost forgotten that, however, until
the little vagrant paragraph about Rice
and ''1492" was published. Since then gen.
eral dealers, whose goods derive as much
benefit from being advertised in one place
as another-agents of European passenger
steamship lines and others-have been be-
sieged by impecunious managers with inn
possible propositions for furnishing i'm
probable scenery and Autographs for i'm

that have heard of has the manager sue

sound headed fellows always say in answer
