GOOD ROADS TO
BREAK GRAIN TRUST
REMEDY SUGGESTED BY SAMUEL
HILL, PRESIDENT GOOD ROAD
ROADS ASSOCIATION.

TACOMA, Feb. 14.-Washington has
| a grain trust" Reference to it was
made by Samuel Hill, president Of the
State Good Roads association, in his
speech at the Chamber Of Commerce s
smoker, Tuesday night. This alleged
combine against the farmers of East
ern Washington would be broken, Mr..
Hill declared, if this state had good
roads. He took it for granted that all
of his hearers We're aware that the
wheat raiserS of this state were
struggling against combination ana
he did not explain it's nature. Speak
ing of the combination" the good
roads enthusiast said:
"A radical president recently de-
clared that something should be done
to settle the grain combine in this
where it is the cheapest to store grain.
1t is on the farm, of course. When the
grain is shipped to Tacoma to be load
ed on vessels bound for foreign lands.
II 10 piehCcu OIl HlOIe Valuable IdHu
1.-The farmers is unable to hold his
grain any length of time, owing to the
condition of the roads. The grain has
to be hauled to the market at a time
when the roads are good
Mr.. Hill left his hearers to draw the
Inference that the dealer took advant-
age of the farmer by manipulating the
prices. Continuing, Mr.. Hill said:
IF We had good roads in Washing
ton. the farmer could deliver his wheat
when he pleased. He would not then
need to- wait for our roads to get in
passable condition. II we had good
roads wouldn't they settle the grain
trusts?"
Mr.. Hill told of the State Good
Roads association, what 1t is trying to
accomplish and what it has accom-
plished. 1t spends no public money and
acts only in an advisory capacity.
Convict Camps.
Convict labor has been success
fully used in building roads in Okla
hogan county, Two convict labor camps
are to be opened this year. one at the
west end of Snoqualmie pass and the
other at the east end. to build a high
way to connect both parts Of the state.
Two-thirds of the cost of the construc-
ton of macadamized road lies in the
material.
He said that it was the plan of the
state to open a third convict labor

CHINESE KITES ARE WONDERS.
One Ingenious Device Was Made to
Represent a Huge Centiped.

Probably the most wonderful and
ingenious achievement Of a Chinese
kitemaker is designed to represent a
gigantic centiped, says a writer in the
World To-day. This is unQuestionably
the longest and most fantastic amuse-
ment device that has ever been con-
structed for aerial flight. From head
TO tail 1t measures nearly 40 feet, and
Is made to field up accordionlike. The
fierce large head of the creature, with
long protruding horns, huge eyes and
gaping mouth, forms the front of the
Kite. This is the gem and marvel of
the whole collection and entirely new
to the eyes OF the western world.
Its construction Is as follows: Ex-
tending from head to tail and consti-
tu''ng the body portion are a series Of
bamboo sticks running crosswise to
the center, to which are fastened 25
or more pasteboard disks foot or
more in diameter. These are painted
In circles of black yellow and white,
representing the all-seeing eyes of this
NEUROLOGICAL creature. A tail portion
Or narrow strips is fastened to the
last piece of bamboo. BY a mechanical
contrivance the curved pieces Of paste
board forming the eyes are made to
reyolve by the wind while the kite is
being flown. Seen in the air, the SER
pentinelike motion, it's huge glaring
eyes swiftly twirling in their sockets,
the effect is said to be astonishingly
realistic, producing quite an awe-in
spring scene, to the Chinese mind at
least. While being flown a cord is at
tached to three or more points of its
length, In order to keep it under con-
troll. In strong wind, several men
are required 10 hold the reel I'm
doubtedly we have here one of the
first and most ancient patterns of fly

of one of the Magyar farmers:
A typical peasant farmer, a man
or considerable wealth, was well
known for his adherence to old clothes
and customs. On one occasion q
young farmer, new to the district,
who had taken a small holding not
far from that of the old man, per-
ceived shabby figure leaning against
the gate on the edge Of his property,
and said: Hi, old man! Do you want
some work?''
The wearer OF the shabby sheep
skin took his long pipe out of his
mouth and nodded gravely
We'll, you come along tomorrow
and look after some Of my sheep.
Bring any of your bits of things or
animals with You: there's plenty Of
room on my farm"
The next day, as the young farmer
walked across his fields, he saw a
cloud of dust coming up the road.
Presently there emerged from it
herd OF COWS, horses and sheep-hun-
dreds of animals with their driver.
The cavalcade swept past the aston
lshed man. Behind it came huge
wagon, creaking and grooming, laden
with heavy furniture, in the front of
which sat his shabby acquaintance OF
the day before.
You told me tc bring my animals
and bits OF things said the old man,

A POPULAR SONG WRITER.

Charles Alphin, whose song,
Honey, Do You Love Me Dearly p"
will be presented to the music loving
readers OF the Sunday World, in the
Magazine Section, on Nov. 70, is an
other instance OF Maurice Shapiro's
keen intuition in the discovery Of
hitherto unknown and unrecognized
talent in the domain OF popular
song writing, Mr., Alphin at the
time of his first interview with Mr..
Shapiro was an ambitious young
Westerner, seeking his opportunity
in the Big City, He had met with re-
buffs and discouragements of every
sort, until he had we'll nigh given up
hope OF interesting any reputable
publisher in his work. Just at g
time when his chances for success
seemed at an end Mr.. Alphin attract
ed the attention OF Maurice Shapiro,
and so impressed the astute head OF
the famous music publishing concern
with his marked and unusual abili-
ties for the composition Of "singable
songs" that before the interview ter
minated Mr.. Alphin had placed" a
round dozen of his manuscripts in
Mr. Shapiro's hands and had found a
publisher that, as subsequent events
have proved, has made the name of
Charles Alphin familiar In every
household whore songs are sung
throughout the world. .s'
