GOOD ROADS
NEVER REGRETTED

The farmers coming into Grand
Rapids these pleasant days are some
what boastful in regard to the con-
dltlons of our roads. They are great
improvements over those travelled
few years ago but there is still ample
room for improvement. No county
has ever yet achieved permanent sue
cess without good roads, or ever
built them and regretted it after
wards. No community in possession
OF good roads would be willing to
surrender them upon the repayment
OF their cost and maintenance. Of all
expenditures made by our county,
money spent in road Improvement
produces the greatest good and the
greatest satisfaction to the greatest
number. Everybody uses good roads:
all enjoy and participate in the ad-
vantages and blessings of good roads,
They are the avenues over which pass
the main agencies for the dissent
nation of knowledge and the increase
OF intelligence, aS we'll as the enjoy
ments of social intercourse in rural
life. They provide the means for the
performance of public duty of reach
ing local markets or shipping points
on the railways. They serve more
country people in the aggregate than
the roads themselves.

TEACHERS ARE SCARCE

If five teachers in our public schools
were suddenly to drop out the vacancy
would be one not easy to fill. There
is reason for this and way open to
remedy the same. The best way to
meet the situation is for the schools
OF the state to pay salaries that will
attract more students into the teach
ing profession. Here, then, is the key
to the whole question inadequate pay
for the work teachers are expected to
do. It is we'll known fact that in
all the normal schools there is a con-
spicious absence of young men
students. For the outlay and labor
necessary to secure the education to
fit them for teachers young men
see but meagre compensation returns
in the teaching profession, and ia con-
sequence direct their thoughts and
energies in other directions. The
modern young woman is not much
more impressed with the situation
than the young man, because other
avocations offer better pay and less
exacting conditions than teaching
school. Teachers must be better
paid. and unless this is done the
public schools of the state are bound
to suffer not only from shortage of
teachers, but from the absence of the
right kind of material out of which
the best teachers are made. More
normal schools would not afford relief.
A little liberalitY on the part of the
schools is what is needed sufficient

Meaner News from the Front.

St Petersburg, Sept. 16.-1:06 pm.
News from the front is exceedingly
meager, and the lull in the operations
Is expected to continue for several
weeks. Ever since General Kuropat-.
kin's retreat was definitely accom-.
pnshed, the best informed military cir
cles were convinced that Field Mar

new his aggressive tactics. All the
information since received regarding
have strengthened the conviction that
Oyama will require a considerable
time to organize new advance, and
1t is now believed that he will proba-
bly, await reinforcements of men and
guns to make good his losses at Lao
Yang. These, it Is said, will be ready
to leave Japan at the end Of the
month. Moreover, it would create no

Captain Ingram Tells Thrilling Story
of the Sea.

VI lie SEds
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 16.-Captain
Ingram and the crew of the Clyde line
ship Huron rescued a part of the crew
OF the fishing smack Grey Eagle. OF
Charleston, S. c., Thursday morning
and brought them to this city.
Captain Ingram said Tat his ship
was off the Charleston ughtship when
he was given signals from the light
ship that boat was near there in dis
tress. The boat was soon located and
the captain wanted to take them on
the Huron. There were eight men in
the boat, and the sea was running
high. The men refused to go on the
steamer and asked that a line be Civ
en- them and they were towed to the
lightship. A tow line was put out
with great difficulty and shortly after
getting the line the rudder of the life
boat broke and the small craft was
left to the mercy of the sea.
The boat got away and soon went
down and the eight men were plunged
into the ocean. -Four of them got on
the steamer and they were thrown
life preserVers until a life line could
be gotten to them. Three of the men
were taken safely on board the Huron.
While drawing the fourth on board the
steamer the line broke and he fell
back into the sea and sank out OF
sight.
The rescued men were brought to
this port, transferred to the steamer
Apache and taken to Charleston.
