nances.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Mediation has
again bobbed Up in the butchers

to take any interest in the new pro-

yesterday sought to secure a confer
ence to end the strike, as they are in
oonvenienced by the boycott of the
icemen,

he can do to help the strikers and
secure a settlement. Packers had
nothing TO do with the meeting of
the grocers and strikers and express
no interest in the coming of Mr.

Four states. New York. Massachu
sets, New Jersey and Connecticut,
have in the past ten years spent
about $l0OO0OO0 as state aid for
building wagon roads. About
| $6,000000 has been added to this sum
by the counties and towns where
the state roads were built, and
about $500 miles of state roads have
been completed in these four states.
Pennsylvania last year appropriate
ed $6,500000 for the building of state
roads. Wherever state roads have
been built the selling price of farm
lands has been increased from 70
per cent. to 80 per cent, and even
more in some cases. The $500 miles
of state roads already built have
been of such benefit to the farmers
that they have caused a great de-
mand for more good roads. Five
states found il good to aid in the
building of wagon roads by state
appropriations. Why should not
the National Government aid in
building roads in every state of the
union; Congressman Brownlow of
Tennessee has answered this ques.
ton by introducing in congress q
bill appropriating $24,OOO,OOO as Ma
tional aid for building wagon
roads. This sum is available at the
rate of $SOO0OOO a year for three
years, and is distributed TO each
state according to its population,
except that no state shall receive
less than $4,000. The states and
counties receiving this money must
add like amount. This appropri-
alton will build between 5000 and
z 1000 miles of splendid National
road, and will build from 100 TO 500
miles of hard road in each state in
the union. II seems to many farm
ers that it is time for the National
Government to aid them, and they
hope the bill will become law.

HALF MILLION JARS.

A most satisfying sight was wit
messed by many persons Monday
afternoon when the Katy flyer ship,
ped special train composed OF
thirty car loads of fruit jars for the
Mason Fruit Jar company of Coffey'
vile, kas.
Each car was decorated with ban.
ners bearing the advertisement OF
the company and the words "Made
In Coffeyville." The train went from
here to Parsons and from that point
will go as special, fifteen to vari-
Gus points in Missouri.
Each car contains an average of
l25 gross of jars, making IA total in
the thirty cars of 800 gross. or 540-
900 jars--ovrr hat mi Ion. If
these were laid in row, end to end
--supposing the average length of
a jar TO be eight inches-they would
stretch distance OF sixty-eight
miles.
This ia not only a greatbig adver.
tisement for Coffeyvillr, but the
very fact that our industries are ex-
porting their wares in such quaint.
ties is something of which every
loyal citizen can and should be
Justly proud Journal.
1t is not generally known, but the
largest glass fruit jar factory in the
