A Correction.

We regret to state that in the
Thompson Hardware company
ad last week we stated that the
location of the business was on
the West side of the square
1t should have stated that it was
on the East side. This firm is so
well and favorably known that we
think no harm was done by the
error but still we feel that an
apology is due them and we do
therefore apologize to them for
the error.

Hit of Theatrical Performance at
Which President Elect Was Present.
While visiting his brother in New
York recently President Elect Taft
went to the BUou theater a few min
utes after the curtain had risen. When
he appeared in box the crowd began
to applaud, and some of the audience
cheered. During the performance Of
"A Gentleman From Mississippi" he
sat well to the front of the box. and
it was an open question which the
crowd enjoyed the more the play or
the sight Of Mr.. Taft laughing.
The hit Of the performance was
when Tom Wise. as the senator from
Mississippi. remarked:
Because I'm fat you needn't think
l haven't mind and will Of my own"
There was an outburst of applause,
which was redoubled when the SEN
ator's secretary added, Besides, SEN
ator. we hope a fat man viii make a
good president"
Mr.. Taft laughed as loudly as any
body else and bowed his acknowledge
ment to the audience.

Element of unused lands, especially in
sparsely populated sections of the
country.
Good roads are also an important
inhus nee in retaining in the farming
districts the desirable elements who
might otherwise drift into the towns

Aeroplane Also.

Aercplane Also.
George E. Nitzsche, head of the de
partment of publicity of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, is making prep
arations for a dash to the north pole
next July by means of balloons and
an aeroplane, says a Philadelphia dis
patch. Undeterred by the fate Of An
Dire and the failure of Wellman, Mr..
Nitzsche will make the attempt along
novel lines. He will carry to the is
land of Spitzbergen three balloons and
probably in addition an aeroplane.
After closely following the expert
ments of Count Zeppelin and the
Wright brothers Mr.. Nitzsche is con-
WINGED that one airship viii carry two
men and baggage with ease besides
the operator. One other of the re
naming two airships will carry a large
quantity of gasoline, to be used by the
fleet for fuel, while the remaining bal
loon will carry provisions and the sci
entifc apparatus. The aeroplane will
be used as scout and probably will
be left at Spitzbergen when the expe-
diti0n makes its dash north.
The balloons and all equipments viii
be carried in sections TO Spitzbergen
by a special steamship and wiz be put
together on the island. The steam
ship win wait at the island until the

GOOD ROADS.

One of the strongest features of
the report of the Country Life Com
mission was on the subject of high
way improvement about which the
Commission makes the following
statement and suggestions:
"The demand for good highways is
geenral among the farmers of the en-
tire United States. Education and
good roads are the two needs most
quently mentioned in the hearings.
Highways that are disable at all times
OF the year are now imperative, not
only for the marketing of produce,
but for the elevation of the social and
intellectual status of the open coun-
try and the Improvement of health by
insuriDg better medical and surgical
attendance.
"The advantages are so well under
stood that arguments for better roads
are not necessary here. Our respon-
dents are now concerned largely with
the methods of organizing and fnan-
cling the work. With only unimpor-
tant exceptions, the farmers who
have expressed themselves to us on
this question consider the Federal
Government is fairly under obligation
to aid in the work.
eve hold that the development of
a fully serviceable highway system is
a matter of national concern, CO.
ordinate with the development of wat
erways and the conservation of our
native resources. 1t is absolutely es-
sential to our internal development
The first thing necessary is to pro-
vide expert supervision and direction
and to develop a national plan. All
the work should be cooperative be-
tween the Federal Government and the
States. The question of Federal APP
preparation for highway work in the
States may well be held in allegiance
until a national service is provided
and tested. We suggest that the
United States Government establish a
highway engineering service, or
equivalent organization, to be at the
call of the States in working out eff
fective and economical highway sys-
TENS"
We cannot hope to have effective
cooperation among the farmers, nor

get the best roads. Clark county NAV
have the best roads among the several
counties in this end of the State. But
that is saying little. We need pixies
scientifically built and then scientif-
cally taken care Of.
The direct connection between good
roads and the value of farm lands is
shown in recent bulletin of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The returns from various Stat
es show that in nearly every case the
States having the highest percentage
of improved roads have the largest

Washington, Dec. 9.-China's great
strides toward civilization are strik-
ingly exemplified in the governments
efforts TO establish a modern educa-
tional system throughout the empire.
according to information contained in
report from vice-consul W. r. Dorsey.
at Shanghai. The system is similar TO
that used in Japan and when carried
out it will compare favorably with tina:
of any other country. The one grea.
obstacle. according to the report. is the
lack of qualified teachers and the gov
eminent is holding out substantial in
ducements to any who are capable OF
doing this work.
Aside from the new government in.
situations there are two other classes
of schools in China-the old style
schools and the mission schools.
The old style schools. which date
back to the time of Confucius or earli-
err. are found throughout the empire.
Their number is beyond computation
every village and hamlet has one or
more. 1t is in them that the largest
number Of youths still receive their ed
ucation, and it will probably be long
time before all of them are superseded
by schools Of modern learning.
They are not a part Of any govern
ment educational system, nor are they
under any government regulation or
supervision? They are really private

Railroad Company Pays the
County for Land at the
Poor Farm.
PROMPT ACTION ON A SUIT

Suit was filed in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon by ]. l.. Rupe, at
torney for the Pennsylvania railroad
company, against the county commits
sioners, and before an hour had pass
ed the suit had been settled. This
means was taken to settle a dispute
as to the value of land. which is a
part of the poor farm and adjacent to
the railroad company's right of way.
Appraisers were appointed including
John F.. Markley. John F. Davenport,
and Alonzo Marshall, to fix a value on
41,444 acres in one section and 1871
acres in the second section. The APP
praisers placed the value of the land
at 800, and the damage to the prop
erty at similar figure. Their report
was accepted and the money paid to
the county clerk.
