tirely new administrative policy will
now be in order
In TIE election OF Senator Horatio S.

bly, the foremost worker for highway
improvement in the United States to-
day and with ample ability and the
necessary resources at his command.
will place the good roads movement
upon a more progressive basis than it
has been heretofore.
Mr. Earle is comparatively new
man in L. A. w. official circles, but in
his two years service as chief consul
of the Michigan Division he has been
so aggressive and so practical that the
results Of his work have been felt in
all the divisions and eventually landed

First Yice-President George c. Pen
nell, Of New York, is one of the veter-
ans OF the League During his connec-
ton with the organization he has held
many State and National offices. in
cludng his present position of vice
consul in the New York Division. He
is numbered among the energetic mem
bers who have been chatting under the
ultra-conservatism which has hereto
fore prevailed, and will make a con-
sistent cO-wOrker with President
Earle to whom he will be especially
valuable because of his long service.
Second Yice-President Howell, Of
Connecticut, was one Of the ablest
chief consuls in the service of the
League. He was at the head of the
Connecticut Division during the years
when the l.. A. w. was securing wheel
mems rights and prvileges-when it
was making its power be felt in all
sections. For two years he has been
Chairman Of the National Membership
Committee and to his efforts Is largely
due the respect in which L. A. w.
membership is now held
Treasurer Tattersall, one of the most
competent officials the League has ever
had, and an able fnancler, enters upon
his fourth term with q unanimous re-
election.
Secretary Bassett who has spent
twenty-one years in the service of the
League will again he I'm charge of
headquarters at Boston He is, per-
haps, the best known wheelman in the
country, and his retention is an assur-
ance that the Office of Secretary will be
competently administered.
Since the election last week, the new
officers have been busily engaged in
acQuainting themselves with the du
ties of their offices, and in the prepara
tion of plans for the years work. They
are making no rash promises, saying
nothing they cannot substantiate when
necessary, but they are positively con
fident that this year will witness many
solid and substantial gains in League
work and in membership. Some of the
plans already outlined are upon lines
which will command the willing sup
port of all friends of good roads. and
are considered with a view to making
them the first moves in a campaign
which win place the question Of high
way improvement squarely before the
people of every State as the greatest
economic necessity Of the period.

There is a general need of good
roads throughout the rural regions, not
roads built at eXorbtant cost but at
reasonable figure and which bring the
market at all seasons of the year into
easy access. The farmers nowadays
realize this as well as anybody.-Syra-

HAS BURNED 20 YEARS.
Sova scotian Mine Fire which Has Cost
- Lives.

Sova Scotian Mine Fire which Has Cost
Interest in the great subterranean
conflagrataion near New Glasgow,
Nova Scotia has been renewed by the
discouraging report that all efforts to
circumvent the flames have proved
fruitless and that all hope is now prac-
tically abandoned The fire originated
in 1880. 1t is burning in rich seam Of
coal, 80 feet thick. and in a mine that
has shaft 1000 feet deep. The prob
lem of extinguishing the flames is no
nearer solution than it was twenty
one years ago. Water has been let in,
but the fire is above the sea level, and
the expensive work of flooding has had
no effect.
After many futile attempts to extin-
guish the fire, the engineers directed
their efforts toward devising plans for
circumventing IL. and reaching the coal
still intact. To that end all the APP
proaches leading to the fire and all the
neighboring workings were walled up,
and new workings were driven lower
down. But every plan so far devised
has proved a failure. The all-conquer-
ing fire has broken through. and every
new work has been reluctantly aban-
doned.
On one occasion. the explosion that
perpetuated this destructive and OBJ
stinate fire caused the death of A.
miners. They were awaiting the ar
rival of car with some tools. and 4
| boy had been sent out with hurry-uI
message. when the explosion occurred
All that could be learned was from the
| boys story. He had seen them sitting
| on the floor when he left them. There
death overlook them. To reach or aid
/ them in any way was beyond human
/ possibility, so their ashes have mingled
with the crumbling coal seam which
has burned for generation, and will
burn. no doubt. for generations tC
come.
There are unsolved problems abou,
the explosion. and suspicious that pro
tecting walls were not sufficient,
thick. But no new light will ever b'
thrown on the tragedy which suddenl,
cut on and consumed sturdy detach
ment of the army OF industry.

Schley's
Courage

my event In the lives OF Admiral
Scv1@y or Sampson which deals with
th-,- physical courage In time OF
greet danger Is Of interest Just at this
time when the controversy as TO the
conduct OF each at the memorable bat
lie OF Santiago is raging. Attention
has been called by the dispute to a
magnificent act OF Schleys-the rescu-
ing Of the survivors Of the Inflated
Greely expedition In 1884. Though II
years have elapsed since Winfield Scott
Schley ventured into the solitudes OF
the vast arctic circle on a well-nigh
hopeless quest for the devoted band OF
explorers. whose fate had aroused the
sympathy OF the world, the story Of
the rescue yet remains one Of the most
thrilling in the whole history of arctic
exploration. Three years had passed
without sound from Grcely or his
men. and everybody knew that, II
alive. they must be in dire distress.
TO Commander Schley. as he then
ranked. the charge OF the relief squad
ron was lntrusted. and such was the
confidence reposed in him by his su-
periors that Senator Chandler, then
secretary Of the navy, declined to give

Are you seeking To do your best to
those nearest to you? II not, you maS
be quite sure you are missing some of
life's purest JOY and highest service.
How often the teachings of the Chris
tian home is discounted by the want Of
earnest effort to please ard gladden.
and serve in the family circle. To those
nearest to us God has given a stronger
claim upon us than to any Others in
the world. We would have children
taught to be their best in speech and
manner to those at home; to dress at
home more carefully than for going
into company. The conscience OF a
child generally responds at once, and
heartily, to such regulation; and tse
benefits secured in the home are M
mense. II all Christian parents were
as careful to be considerate and gra-
cious in speech and deep toward the
members of their own household as
they are toward some OF their ac.
quaintances. who have not hundredt'
part of the same claim upon them,
many grave evils aud disasters would
be averted.

THRivES IN A DROUGHT.

Now Cereal which May Prove God
send to Western Farmers.
The drought and its alarming effects
on the great wheat lands of the United
States have caused the department of
agriculture to hasten the publication of
A report which IL has been preparing
for some time on new wheat which
fiourishes in dry lands II needs no
rain to speak of and will be "A godsend
TO the farmers OF the semi-arid lands,
while II should prove also to be the
means OF converting the dry lands of
the Great Plains into wheat growing
regions. During the past few years
much interest has been awakened in
the subject of crops adapted to semi
arid districts. The new cereal is known
us macaroni wheat and may be grown
proRtably on the plains of the United
States far hey md the Tooth meridian.
Macaroni wheat dffers radically
from the ordinary bread wheats. and
ia the field looks more like barley than
wheat The heads are fiat, compressed
and bearded. the boards often being
black: the chaff Is usually golden yell
Iow hut sometimes black; and the
grains are large, hni |, yeliowish
white and clear, or. in yheats Of the
hest quality. sometimes translucent.
The quality and quantity of the gluten
make them exceeding valuable for
making macaroni. The. are extremely
resistant to drought and resist the at
taoks OF leaf rust and smuts to an un-
usual degree.
Macaroni wheat not only can be
grown In dry districts. but actually
must be grown there TO produce the
hest quality of grain. II thrives best
with a minimum of about 10 inches an
pual rainfall. the drier the season the
better, provided the rain falls at the
proper time and the soil is of the right
hind
