TO START SUNDAY.
Union Pacific VIII Run Motor Cars
From Kansas City to Lawrence.

Lawrence. Kan, April 2s.-The
motor car service between Lawrence
and Kansas City is to start Sunday.
Such was the word E. E. Alexander,
the city agent of the Union Pacific re-
ceived late this afternoon. He did
not receive the regular schedule OF
the new service, but is expecting a
letter from headquarters tomorrow
giving the time table of the motor car
that is to be put on between here and
Kansas City.
For some time it has been known
that the Union Pacific intended to put
on the motor service, but it was not
thought that it would be so soon
The road is having several new
motors built and the first one is prac-
tically completed now. 1t Will make
its first trip Sunday. A regular
schedule will be posted for it at the
offices here and it will begin taking
passengers then, the same as the reg
ular trains.
Later on the road will put on an
other motor, SO that with the regular
trains there will be hourly service
between Lawrence and Kansas CITY.

LET THE AUTOS DO THE WORK
Banker Proposes That Every Owner
of a Car Hitch to Road Drag.


Salina, Kan, April 2e.-It looks as
If the farmers were not going to have
all the road dragging to do in the
future as they have had in the past
Frank Hagerman, a banker of this
city, proposes that the automobiles
make the roads. He says:
LET each man who owns a ma
chine work five miles of road in
certain township and take a receipt
from the township road overseer. and
it will be only a short time until we
have good roads all over the county.
z 1.-THE men in the city will have no
objection to doing this, as we who
own machines are using the roads all
the while. Any motor car of any
power can haul a King road drag, and
this appears to me to be one of the
simplest, easiest and least inexpensive
methods of making good roads. I am
ready and willing to do my part"
The plan is to be taken up by the
Good Roads club of Saline county.
