Some of the warm friends OF college games
advocate the foundation Of generous endow-
ment funds for boat clubs, baseball organiza-
tions. football teams and other athletic associa-
lions in American universities. It is unlikely that
the students would object to the raising Of such
an endowment. but a movement among alumni
and other we'll wishers to subscribe sufficient
sums TO provide for the athletic expenses Of the
undergraduates is not destined to succeed right
away. The grandstand and gate receipts at the

extremely large every year. and the college

4 SENSIBLE ECONOMY.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Is engaged In planting locust trees with
view to supplying cross-ties IN the
future. Last fall $4,000 trees were
planted ut Conewago, Pa, and now as
many more are being planted. Next
fall It Is said, the company VIII plant
100000, and in the following spring
$4,000. The forest will cover three
square miles, and, it is estimated, Will
furnish 100000 ties within twenty
five years. At the present time the rail-
road company can buy ties as cheaply
as it can raise them, when the purchase
price OF land and the hired labor in,
yolved in planting trees and the cut
ting and making of the ties after they
have been grown is considered. The
Pennsylvania company, however. is
looking to a time not far ahead when
timber fit for cross ties and the certain
scarcity viii have made their price
prohibitive.
There is valuable suggestion to
the western farmer in the plan of the
railway company. Nothing has been
discovery that will practically take
the place of wooden fence posts. The
dealers in Marshalltown sell annually
at least $4,000 posts to tributary farms
at cost Of $4,000. AS the supply fails
the cost of posts is certain to rise pro-
portionately. Just what $4,000 posts
will cost in 1920 is only to be guessed
at but it is within reason to suppose
that the price will be doubled.
There is scarcely farm in Iowa
which does not include an acre or so
of land comparatively worthless for
agricultural purposes which If planted
with locust or catalpa trees would
furnish all the posts needed for a 100
acre farm and bring a revenue in
sales. An acre properly planted and
cared for should in fifteen years
bring more than $500 posts to ma
turfty. At lb cents each, their value
would net $500. as the firewood from
the trimmings would pay all cost of
cutting. Allowing rental value of
$50 for the acre, there remains a net
sum OF $34o to pay for care and
planting.
To illustrate: There are thousands
Of catalpas growing into posts on
three acres of certain bottom farm
near Marshalltown. owned by an ex-
tensive land holder. These are in
tended for posts and visit to the

a GOOD ROADS MISSIONARY.

Nearly three years ago the South
ern railway a south Atlanta road CO.
operated with the National Roads Aso
citation. and the department of agricul-
ture in equipping and sending a good
roads train thru the southeastern and
piled with the latest appliances for
road making and in it's journey of 1000
miles thru six states it made sample
aoads, each one-half to two miles in
length, in eighteen different loclities.
Many conventions were held where the
good roads question was the subject of
discussion, much interest aroused and
state and district associations organic
ed.
That this agitation and the object
lessons afforded by the practical road
work accomplished under the eyes of
the various communities have borne
fruit is evident from the reports from
the counties visited by the road train.
= number of North Carolina counties
are voting bonds for hard roads. One
county has bonded itself for 100000 to
be used in laying macadam. Results
In Alabama, Mississippi. Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia, are similar to
those obtained In North Carolina. The
Railway and Engineering News quotes
Mr.. p. III. Haines president of the North
Carolina Good Roads Associa-
Gton as saying 1t will cost
In this sesction to build such
q road as we are building with granite
he'd in the center inches deep and 10
feet wide, with a dirt driveway feet
wide on either side of the macadam,
about $4,000 to $4,000 per mile. l wish
the good roads train could repeat dts
circuit again this fall thru this section.
1t would do more, in my opinion, to
promote the good roads movement than
anything that could be done. I hope
the good roads movement will continue
to grow turnout the entire country"
Other sections are suggesting another
visit OF the good roads train as val
liable influence toward road improve
ment.
Il appears that the south. usually
several decades behind the north in
public improvement. is well ahead in
the good roads movement Perhaps a
