EFFECT OF MOTOR RUNS

next September will greatly stimu-
late interest in system of better
highways throughout Oklahoma. They
feel that campaign of publicity of
motor car experiences would be help
tul TO the cause of good roads In
Oklahoma, and that this publicity
could be made most effective by the
use OF photographs showing how bad
are the roads of Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Good Roads Asso-
ciation. of which Sidney Suggs of
Ardmore Is president and Charles
Barrett of Guthrie Is secretary. has
an earnest membership and artlcu.
latcs with the national association. IL
! has been handicapped however, bv
a lack of general interest in good
roads among the people of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is young In statehood. and
| during its territorial days there were
innumerablc obstacles to success
ful state wide good roads movement
The association presented a bill to
the last legislature creating state
| highway department, to be directed
| by a state engineer. and making each
county surveyor a county engineer.
| The bill was amended in so many
ways, however that II grew too cum
bersome and was abandoned until
the next meeting OF the legislature
next January. The association be-
lieyes that then It will be able to
secure the enactment OF satisfactory
good roads law.
Governor Haskell has undertaken
to pioneer macadamized highway

ABOUT KANSAS CORN
REMARKABLE COMPLAINT COMES
FROM SALINE COUNTY FARM
ERs-coRN TOO BIG.

Salina, kas.. Aug. 2i.-According to
farmers in Saline county, corn husk-
ing this year will n more trouble
than usual because of the rank growth
of the corn. The stalks are higher
than ever this year. averaging twelve
to fifteen feet In most of the fields,
and the farmers say this will cause
the stalks TO break. as the ears are
usually above the half way line on
the stalks. The ears are of great
weight and viii tend to pull the
stalk down. It is feared by farmers
that there will be more corn down
this year than usual
Farmers say the corn in this see
ton is now made and the rains OF
the last few days have 50 thorough.
Is soaked the ground that the crop
cannot suffer from lack Of moisture
Another rain may be needed by the
late corn but so far as the early corn
is concerned a good yield Is now
guaranteed
For the first time In years the ears
protrude through the husks, and the
grain Is well filled entirely to the
end of the cob.
THE husks are not growing a.
rapidly as the ear" said one farmos
today. "and that insures that for the
| first time in decade the corn will
he free from worms. II is the mos
wonderful corn year central Kansas
! has seen I'm many years"

THE LADY AND THE UMBRELLA,
Not Every Woman SO Lucky az the
Heroine of This Tale.

In the storeroom that every rail-
road maintains for the safe keeping
Of lost articles left in its care by for
getful passengers there are always to
be found hundreds Of umbrellas. But
not every umbrella left In the cars
is lost long enough to find its way
to the lost department; 1t may fortu-
nately be recovered sooner.
Here was a woman who had Just
stepped from an elevated railroad
train. to find It raining. and thus re-
minded:
"Oh! my umbrella" she said, and.
turning to the train, which had al
ready started along, she added: Wait
a minute!" request by the train I'M
needed.
And yet this woman recovered her
umbrella In a moment.
Here It Is" said another woman,
who was travelling with her. had got
of the car after her, and had
gathered up her friends umbrella
with her own as she came along.
So this forgetful passenger recov-
cred her umbrella promptly. but not
all are so fortunate; thousands of um.
brellas left behind by passengers go
to the lost departments every year.
