TO REPAIR AND REBUILD
THE OLD NATIONAL ROAD

100000.
THE GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION.
Wants the Government to Help in
the Work COMPARISON Between
the Value of Good Roads and
BattleshipS.

The old National Road has recently
been the object of much attention. In
1906, just enc hundred years ago, con
gress appropriated $50, toward con-
S. letting national road from Cumber-
land, Maryland, to TIE Ohio River: but
the first mile Of this famous highway
was not b n until five years later, in
1911. 1t was largely then the influence
of Henry Clay, who was called ''the
Father of the National Road" that
this great ST lecture was built. 1t was
completed to Wheeling, w. Va, in
1920; to GAINESVILLE, Ohio, 1890; to Van
dalia, ILL.,, 1888. The proposed extern
ten across the Mississippi River to JEFF
ferson City, Missouri, was never car
lied out, since after 1886 the pu.lic in
rest began to centre in the building of
railways. Along this road for many
years thousands of wsgons carried sup
plies for the settlers in the Ohio Valley,
and brought back the -four, porh, nd

SOME POLITICAL HOT SHOT.
Murray Vandiver, Democratic CT ir-

The-Wool Republican.

Mr.. Murray Vandiver, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, in
casting about for the necessary funds
with which to rosecute the fall cam
paign, sent the follow ing letter to a
Republican of Ga cit county. This
Republican is on all wool and a ward
wide Republican as can be readily dc
termined by reading The answer your
Uncle Murray received in reply to his
request for finds, which is reproduced
herewith.
Mr.. Vandiver's letter was dated at
the Democratic headquarters, Balti-
more, Md, August 3o'H, and was a
follows:
DEAR SIR:-All indications point TO
Democratic success in The state of
Maryland in November next.
In TIE terest of the pan " locally
and nationally it is essential that The
six Cons essional 4 stricts of the State
should be represented by Democratic
Congressman. We have a perfect or
@anlzatlon and the only thing lacking is
4 Ids to enable US to prosecute : ac-
tive and agl essive campaign.
Most of @ state officers have a. eed
to contribute literally. l therefore

tribution IN order that the campaign
may be vigorously conduct d until cleo

The advertising merchant is the one
who does the business in these days Of
push and enterprise. There are more
newspaper readers today than ever
before in the history of the world. The
newspaper places your business under
the eyes of the buyer. He sees what
he wants, and, knowing where to find
it, looks up the wideawake merchant
who asked him to come and see him.
Success in these days of sharp competi-
ton calls for eternal vigilance. You
can't keep a hustler down.

AMONG THE NOBILITY.

The duke of Bedford is the premier
sI Holyrood castle.
Sir William White bears the prold
unofficial title of Father of the pres
ent-day British navy
In a few years time. when the leases
fall in, the South London property oil
the prince of Wales will bring him
about s750.000 year.
The king of Portugal is a man OF
many accomplishments-s shot,
enthusiastic angler.
Queen Alexandra possesses a tea
service of 60 pieces, each piece being
decorated with a different photograph
which she took herself in Scotland.
Six queens smoke-the empress of
Austria. the cZarina of Russia, the
queen of Roumania. the ex-queen of
Spain, the queen of Italy and the queen
of Portugal.
Something like a panic prevails in
British court circles on an intimation
from the shah of Persia that he hopes
to be able to pay England another visit
soon.
The duke of Hamilton was a great
swimmer and diver in his early youth
When he was in the English navy he
often used to dive under the ship and
once received a serious injury while
performing the feat.
There Is no more considerate house
mistress than Queen Alexandra, and
in many little ways she arranges for
the pleasure of her servants 1t is her
custom to invite the maids to form in
line to see her when she is dressed for
great occasions.
The German empress. in addition to
jewels worth 100000 that are her own
private property, has the right to use
the splendid collection of gems that
belong to the Prussian treasury. The
empress is thus able sometimes to ap-
pear at court wearing jewelry valued
at s1.25O,O0O.
King Edward is fond of pigeon rae
ing and has participated actively in 1t.
His majesty has a big loft of pigeons
at Sandringham, where they are regu-
larly and specially trained for long
distance races. Some years ago one
of his birds won the biggest race of
the year, the Pigeon Derby" in a
magnificent flight home from Lerwick.

Machine for Locating Springs.

Adolf Schmid, a Swiss engineer Of
standing, has just patented in several
countries a device which takes the place
of the divining rod of superstitious
tradition. 1t consists of a magnetic
meridian. This instrument is carried
about the field in which it is desired to
locate water and whenever 1t passes
over a hidden spring the magnetic
needle will perform rapid and lively
oscillations. Many tests Of the appa-
ratus have been made and in NO case has
a failure been recorded.
