GOOD ROADS AS MONEY SAVER
Lay Sermon by Curtis Hill on Gospel
Of Better Highways.

lay oermon oy curtis hNl on Gospel
Of Better Highways.
Curtis Hill, the state highway engi-
neer, is sending to the people of Mis-
souri, pamphlets for spreading the gos-
pei Of good roads. Here is copy:
1T Is right that people should fear a
heavy tax rate and should prevent
taxes from becoming exorbitant. A
certain amount of taxes, however, is
necessary to provide for public insti-
tutions and to improve the country. A
low tax rate does not necessarily mean
a public saving. Not the amount of
money spent, but the judicious expend-
lture Of 1t, should be our position.
Road improvement should keep
abreast with the growth of the state.
No one internal improvement is more
essential to the prosperity and ad-
vancement Of the state than good high
ways. One reason the roads are not
improved is because the people fear
they cannot afford it.
1T must, however, be borne in mind
that no road official, no matter how
efficient he may be, can build roads
without funds. Permit me to quote
from a letter of one Of our county
highway engineers: we have some
very attractive scenery in our county,
but the only safe way to see it is in
an old fashioned farm wagon or by
airship. When I first came to this
county could not understand why
people with such good road material
at hand had no better roads. This
was twenty-five years ago, and at pres
ent the re ads are worse than they were
then. The reason is plain from the
following figures: Total mileage Of
roads, about 1000; road fund. $1,994. Is,
not quite 81 mile for road mainte-

been too busy to train regularly and
made only one appearance in track
athletics in the past year.
In the Yale-Princeton 1910 class meet
in New Haven year ago he was

put into the high jump. He won sec-
ond prize with a leap Of Eve feet

for Yale in the meet he trotted back to

paper exactly in the middle, the fold
being of the seven and a half inch
length. Fold each half over again,
bringing the outside edge Of each half
over until it touches the center fold.
Repeat this folding on the other two
sheets, and put the center fold Of each
sheet together. one over the other.
Put these folds against the overland
ing down the center of the case and
sew through all. This forms six little
pockets in which to put the skeins Of
silk.
1t would be a pleasing idea to put q
skein of silk in each pocket before
sending 1t to a friend as a Christmas
gift.
Applique Couch Cushion.
A method of work which produces
the same bold effects as those Of the
stencil, but with greater richness and
effectiveness, Is that Of applique. The
use of one fabric upon another, with
outlines and small details Of design
brought out by embroidery, Is peculiar.
~ pleasing in its results and method
which has heretofore not been thor
.oughly appreciated by art needle
workers. The principal object in these
simple designs is the obtaining Of good
restful lines with broad effects in col
or and mass which are not handicap
ped with too much detail. Applique
is well suited to this purpose and Is
very easily done. All that is necessary
is to cut out the design and after
carefully basting 1t in place make 1t
secure by a COUGHING stitch about the
edge. The outlines Of the design are
then worked in outline stitch and the
small details in satin stitch as re-
quired. The seed pod design illustrat-

THE BEST OF LINE HITTERS.

Was Leader In Freshman Class Ath.

Player and Track Man.
Invariably every season one gridiron
player outshines all others. Ted Coy.
Yale's sensational fullback, is the one
bright particular star Of the football
season Of 1908. Coy's entire work
would be hard to improve upon. and
his work on the offense. when intrust-
ed with the ball. has been the most
brilliant seen on the gridiron in sew
eral years. His punting has proved
big factor in many Of Yale's triumphs
this year. The students claim that he
alone Is responsible for the victories
over Princeton in 1908.
Besides being the greatest fullback
in football Coy Is an all around ath-
lete. He is a crack baseball player and
a fast track man who has already won
intercollegiate mention. He has also
shown good form in tennis and golf.
IVY Pldy Gu AuuDuCh anu was captain
Of his freshman team three years ago
and was varsity fullback last year,
making several of the All American
teams. Coy was graduated from the
Hotchkiss school in Lakeville. Conn.,,
where his father was principal.
Going to Yale three years ago. he set
his stamp upon college athletics indeli-
bly,. although his activity was confined
to the freshman class because Of the
faculty reform rule. Coy was elected
captain Of the 1910 class football elev-
en- and played fullback practically all
the season. The team had no trouble
in defeating the Harvard and Prince
ton 1910 class players. going through
the season with q clean slate. The
only eleven which crossed the Yale
1910 goal line was the Yale varsity in
daily practice. Coy has played first
base on the Yale nine, and his work
has been very satisfactory.

out the contents of a letter he today
addressed TO the Iroquois club of

organization, replying to the request
of the club that he tender his resig-

in his letter that he is both pleased
and surprised To receive the letter
from the elub-pleased that he has
been asked to resign. and surprised
to learn that the club is still in ex-
istence. Mr.. Hearst continues:
You imply that | am not Demo-

not. according to Democratic stand
ards of today. You imply further
that you are Democrats. and | can
not help wondering what kind of
Democrats you think you are. Are

next appointed for the purpose of

canvass of the district will be made
by committees selected from each
ward to bring the membership to

the county. These committees. as
well as all others. are composed of
some of the most energetic support
ers of the party in the district and
their efforts will be of much avail.
as will be very readily seen when time
for polling of the votes arrives. The
committees appointed for the three
wards are as follows: First ward
Gallagher, Murdock and Herrick:
Second ward-Wattson Reeves and

Stewart and Rowe.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL HoLDUP

ST PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 26.-A spe-

day and robbed by single highway
man who received as a reward for
his efforts an amount estimated at
$1.500. Posses are being organized
in Red Lodge, Cody and Meetetse to
take up the bandits trail.
Because of the rough nature of the
country little hope is entertained for
his capture. There is a possibility
that the man who did this job is the
same man who yesterday held up the
16 coaches in Yellowstone park, but
this is doubtful. The same tactics
however. were followed. the passen-

apparent that the followers of Taft

Fully 200 Republicans attended

to fill the positions of temporary

TION FROM FARSON IN
TERESTS IN CHICAGO.

At the meeting OF the board OF
county commissioners yesterday an
informal discussion of the matter of
disposing of the court house and jail
bonds was had with J. Gist Search,
representing the Trowbridge & Niver
Co, bond buyers, of Chicago.
Mr.. Search appeared before the
commissioners under the impression
that the purchasers represented by
Duke NJ. Farson, with whom the
county officials has been negotiating.
had made explanation and final re-
fusal of the bonds.
In this event he stated he was
here to open negotiations with the
county for the taking up of the is
sue for examination with view TO pur-
chasing the bonds. However. mas
much as no communication had been
received in explanation as to the
cause of failure of payment for the
bonds By Mr. Farson and associates.
Mr.. Search refused our Z courtesy
to these people to enter 70 nego
tiations until they had signfs heir
final intention Of refusing ~ a.Sept
the issue.
Upon word being received by the
county officials that Duke NJ Fcrsof
and associates finally refuse to ac-
cept the bonds 1t is probable that
Mr. Search will confer with the COM
missioners with view to sale of the
bonds. He expects to leave the dis
trict this morning but intends to le-
turn shortly TO further lcok INTO ehe
bond matter
Other than the conference held
with Mr.. Search. the board did not
take up any new business. Approval
of action regarding Improvement of
streets as reported in the News yes
terday morning was made and work
will at once proceed with yigor to-
ward placing the two new thorough
fares between Ely and Ely City In
the best of condition. The contract
ors to whom the work was let will
have forces of men engaged on the
improvements before the end of the
week and will complete the jobs In
as short a time as possible.
