on that road to see farmer with his
touring car spinning along at the rate
of six to eight miles an hour with "A

but more frequently in the last few
months than ever before. He prefers
a car for the drag to a team of horses

at least not to such an extent that an

The public roads in central Kansas
are such that a touring car can be TAX
en- out almost any time. Mud cuts no
figure with the farmer. and this is one
feature that makes his car of such
value to him. The town man will not
run his machine in the mud. but the
farmer doesn't care much. However,
the farmers are talking good roads
now more than they ever did before.
and this is one reform the motor car
has brought about Already in many
Of the public roads the little gullies
have been filled up and the little knots
have been cut down. More than
year ago the Salina motor club began
the advocacy of good roads. The farm
ers were not in general sympathy with
the motorists, and they were slow to
take hold of the scheme. arguing that
the roads in central Kansas were not
so bad They knew the object was to
make it easier riding for motorists
and especially for the tourists from
eastern cities. who desired to spend
the summer IN Colorado. making the
trip overland.
The farmer. as a rule. laughed at
the idea then. but now he is right in
line. If he doesn't own car now he
expects to some day. and he is in
hopes the roads will be made better
before his machine arrives on his
farm.
More roads were dragged last year
than ever before in the history of Sa-
lima county, und it is safe to say that
the present year will be a record
breaker in this line Of work.
The motor car of the farmers is IN

a good roads lecture with every car.

An Appeal For
Homeless Children,

Now that the warm summer days
are almost upon us, it is absolutely
necessary to find country homes for
the babies who are in the receiving
home Of the Kentucky Children
Home Society.
Every parent knows how essential it
is that babies should be kept cool and
comfortable in the summer and how
important it is that they get good,
pure milk. Their very lives depend
upon it.
We have nine babies from two
months old to a year and half, and
we earnestly hope to place each one
! in a good country home within the
next few weeks. They are bright,
sweet babies andwill bring sunshine
wherever they go.
There are thirteen boys and girls
from eighteen months up to five years,
attractive, happy lite people who
would be easy to train. They are
just at the age when children are
most responsive to kindness and af-
lection.
We also have two sisters, aged ten
and four, respectively, and their
little brother, aged seven, whom we
would like to place in the same home
if possible. They are as good children
as we have ever had in the home and
are so strongly attached to each other
that we would dislike to part them.
However, if we cannot find home
for all three together, we would like
to find some one willing to take the
sisters.
We also have larger children.
We only place our children in
homes where the moral and social
atmosphere is of the best, and good
references are always required.

General Metal Market Conditions


ions of those "wbo should know
that February would see 18-ct. cop
per, the present conditions have
every appearance Of 124-ct. copper,
before the opening Of March. The
market hasgracually weakened from
143cts., and from all indications it
has very good chance to fall below
IL TO what twas during the closing
months of 1907.
Many Of the knowing ones are
trying to tell how il has come about.
but where one says that it is due to
the suspense in the conclusion of
the tariff question, another will say
that it is on account of the tremen-
dous stocks of metal still on hand
at home and abroad.
The Journal Of Commerce esti-
mates the stocks of refined copper
in Europe at 225, 0OO,0 900 lbs, which,
with the 144,000,OOO lbs. in this,
country, makes total of 100000,
600 lbs. of marketable or refined
copper. The same paper estimates
stocks at smelters at 3O8,000,0Oo
lbs, making total of 677,OOO,O00
lbs. This amount certainly looks
formidable and probably has con-
siderable influence.
If the tariff question does not
affect the copper it certainly does
influence the lead market. Those
buying lead will simply take what
their immediate demands call for.
If any material cut is made in the
present tariff it will necessarily be
followed by heavy import of the
metal and consequent fall in the
market. AS consequence, lead is
weakening, and has been doing so
since the high point reached in Aug
ust, 1908, which month showed a
general average of 81. 58.
Spelter has received severe set
back during the past 80 days and
has taken a fall from 1851 in Jan
uary to $4.85, the present market.
1t is not difficult to see the cause of
this, as it was the direct result of
the New Orleans decision. Imme-
diately following this decision some
of the American zinc companies
have entered the Mexican field, and
in one case alone made contracts
for $4,000 tons of zinc ore. A hard
season may be looked for by the
American zinc producers.
In the case of silver the condi-
tions look brighter. Although the
market has fallen from 524 on jan
uary to 5o4 on Feb. %, there is a
stronger feeling. One of the prin.
cipal factors in bringing about this
strength has been the decided
change in the attitude of China.
During last fall and the early win
ter China was a liberal seller of the
white metal, but not only has the
selling from that source ceased but
the purchasers on balance have
been of large proportions and pur-
chases for that account are still be-
ing made. India also is consum-
ing larger amount of silver than
heretofore. The recent ISSUE of In
dia council bills, which were several
times oversubscrihed, will not only
be followed by the coinage of bull
ion, but is also taken as a decidly
favorable development in the sit
uation.
The stocks of metal at all of the
principal centers, including New
York and London, have been ma.
terially reduced. London gener-
ally carries surplus of about 8
ooo, 900 ozs., but for a time last
autumn the holdings were consid.
ably in excess of that amount
This surplus, it is said, has been
materially reduced. The consump'

early in 1910, comes the question, "What
is to be opened In their places ~ In
every town there are, especially during
the winter months, large Numbers OF
idle men. They are not all "hoboes."
For the most part they are men who
work hard in the mountains during the
open months and who seek The towns
when the snow prevents operations at
the scene of their activities. The saloon
has been their favorite lonnging place.
They realize they are not wanted at the
clubs; many Of them believe they are
not wanted at the churches. At any
event, they feel out of place there. Be-
sides, the churches are only opened on
Sundays as a rule and then they are
filled by. those who presumably need no
salvation. These are tidily and often
deliberately dressed. The man from the
hills wears rough clothes. These can
pray and sing. The man from the bills

would mar the melody Of the fashion
able choir
So he seeks the saloons. There he
finds company to his liking. He does
not necessarily drink to excess, but he
drinks some, just to be sociable If hav
ing no natural appetite for liquor
The churches, through appeals to our
legislature, are about to close the saloon.
What do they propose to open in their
stead?
The other day in Portland, Mayor
Lane addressed a meeting of Baptist
ministers, in the course of which he de-
clared that if the churches would also
remain open week days and it they
we're made congenial to the class of men
referred to those very conditions would
operate to close the saloons in that city
He outlined this scheme:
Open every church seven days week
Provide in every church moving pic
ture shows, reading matter and cuspi-
doris, that the men may smoke and chew
as they read.
Give the unemployed lodging in the
church at night.
He did not say it would also be ueces-
sary to remodel the disposition of some
of the worshippers, who might hold
themselves aloof from these rugged and
poorly attired men, but the tenor of his
remarks indicated he thought it,
The suggestions Of the Portland ex
ecutive are startling revolutionary, but
they are not without point. Some pro-
vision must be made for these men, aud
what more logical than that the agency
that closes the saloon to them should
supply itY
1t is not essentially straight-laced
reform proposal, hut it bears sarmarks
Of common sense. The churches OF to-
dav are Adamless to q large degree.
Men of all walks of life refrain from at
tending service more than was formerly
the case, and this situation has given
the ministers the greatest concern. If,
even in modified form, such plan as
that suggested by the Portland mayor
could be put into effect the church
would become attractive to the man OF
aft airs as well as to the rougher element
rough in point of dress aud manner
isms. There would be a practical
motive TO interest the business and the
professional man, in providing whole
some entertainment for the other class.
They would feel the influence Of their
endeavors to marked degree and the
chances of saving those who need sal
walton would be immensely improved.
