BENEFICIAL RoAD-MAKINo.

The importance of road-building in civilization will receive another illus tration in the completion of 300 miles of macadamized highways in the Phil ippines. These bring insulated bar barians into contact with populous eenters. This is a modern application of the familiar policy of Rome. whose roads were built so well that at many points they are today available for traffic. They penetrated the rayless gloom of German forests they crossed on viaducts the gullies of the Aoen- nincs they provided d firm fo JtiEg for the lcpIons across the marsies of the Iberian peninsula, and made a straight path through many a wilderness Just as in our day civilization in new country huddles close to the steel raiis and the whistle of the locomotive. so in the days of Horace and Virgil the Goths and the Vandals flocked to their villages. and came to the meeting of the ways not merely t0 fight the Ro- man legionary, but to learn of the
 'mercatorN what the rest of the world '"as- like beyond their bristling noun tains and rockbound estuaries Thus in this day the head-hunters and ban dits of the Philippines will bS taught the ats of peace. But the work, |. IS estimated. will still require seventeen years for completion. The benefits cf similar work in Porto Rico have be- come apparent

GIRLS FOR LUNCH ROOMS.

Girl students are trained at Sim mons college. in Boston. to plan and manage lunch rooms. This surely is an undertaking to meet a long felt want. The city customers who under take to satisfy their cravings of hun ger in the middle of q business day know well the disagreeable shocks to their senses that they must endure. Not the least of these is the spectacle of frowsy. unkempt men at serving counters whose very appearance is enough to make even a hardened GUS toner revolt at receiving food through such a medium. The movement for the sanitation of lunch rooms might well be extended to these siouchy serv- itors. IL is announced that the num- Der of girls taking the lunch room course" at the Boston school is increas- ing. They are taught also how to cook. to buy. to figure profit and loss
 and how to manage assistants. Such training should make them useful to proprietors as well as to patrons of these necessary places of refreshment.

THE W|NDES BUILDING
 NEARING COMPLETION
IL Will Be the New Home of the Tempe Department of the
 Republican.

The new R. A. Windes building on Fifth street is nearing completion rapidly and Contractors Skinner and Cosner give assurance that the build ing will be ready for occupancy by the first of the month The brick and cement work is practically completed and the carpenters are rushing their part of the job. The building. while not large one, is neat and attractive. IL is so constructed that at any time in the future that occasion may de- mand it may be extended in the rear the full length of the lot The build ing has been constructed of cement brick; it is so arranged with high ceilings and plenty of windows that the ventilation will be good and it will be cool in summer. The building will be divided in two sections The rear will be occupied by the Tempe Light and Power cOmpany's office and work room. The front room will be oc- cupied by the Windes real estate office and the Tempe office of the Re publican. The room in the Laird and Dimes building now being occupied by these three offices will be turned over to the telephone company. Altogether, the change will be a beneficial one for all concerned. The telephone office on the ground floor will be an accommo- dation to the public and those who will move into the new building will have offices more conveniently ar ranged

A SUCCESSFUL SALE

The first day of the Geach and Geach sale on Saturday was a pro bounced success. said MT Geach yes terday. The store did about all the business that day that it could well handle.

The firm advertised exclusively in the Republican and the fiEst-aBnoHncement of the sale ap- peared Saturday morning That the people of this community read the ad- vertisements in the Republican and take advantage of the opportunities offered therein was plainly evident.

alone falling on about 30 per cent and prices
for that vegetable advanced sharply. 1t was

the supply was short and only few benefited

tinued to sell readily at high prices while
all of the asparagus received found buyers at
the previously quoted rates. Rhubarb was in
ample supply. with only fancy lots receiving
any attention. A consignment Of the nam
moth variety from Washington sold at Agile

The scarcity of small white beans is very

of Lady Washington beans. also due to the short
