Where Millions Are Entombed.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Chr; stians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter-
esting Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels whose
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, so that the cata-
combs may be said to be a pictorial
Bible in effect-The Christian Herald

Where Millions are Lost

The plea that good roads are
too costly" belongs only to the
cheap statesman, the mossback
and such old-fashioned publica-
tions as the Joyville Clarion. 1t
has no place in the consideration
of the problem of modern road
building.
The primary purpose in secur-
ing good roads is to eliminate
the enormous and everlasting
cost of bad roads. Modern coun-
try roads bear the same relation
to the rural districts as paved
streets bear to the cities. Paved
streets for municipalities are, first
of all, a business proposition.
The comfort and convenience af-
forded by them is matter of
secondary consideration. No
city could be built on mud streets.
Neither can agricultural commun-
tiles be developed on mud roads.
And any condition that retards the
fullest development of country
life is an expense that spells ruin
and bankruptcy in the end.
The old wooden plow could be
purchased for less than the mod
ern implements used to break the
soil. But no farmer could main
tain his farm with wooden plow.
1t would prove too costly an
experiment. The OK team could
be purchased for less money than
the draft horses cost. but the OK
team has been abandoned as an
expense that no modern farmer
could stand.
Mud roads retain the same re-
lation to modern progress as the
wooden plow and OK team. Kan
sas wastes million dollars every
year on mud roads; Iowa wastes
4 million dollars annually in the
same way. 1t is system of
Throwing good money after bad
money in an attempt to "im-
prove" roads that need to be re-
built, and after millions have
The Paonia newspaper., 1910-05-20

been wasted in this manner the
same old mud roads exist. Moth
ing is left to show for all the ex-
pense.
The 10 million dollars Kansas
has lost in mud holes of its coun-
try roads for the East ten years
would have given the state an ex-
cellent system of permanent high
ways. 1t would have meant an
investment that would now be
paying big dividends to the farm
owners of that state.-Kansas

COLORADO WILL FURNISH
THE FRUIT THIS YEAR

The whole central part of the

fruit to sell this year and this will

thing we may bring through, says
Field and Farm. Eleven states

the greatest losses in Kansas,
Missouri ana Iowa which are the
heaviest producers. In frantic
effort to save something the or
chards and gardens of the whole
Mississippi valley were like army
bivouacs with beacon lights burn
ing. Smudges of wood, coal and
straw were burned all night long
in the vain effort to protect the
young buds from the blight of the
frost. Blankets, comforters and
other bed coverings were used as
mantles on gardens and trees, but
these things afforded but little if
any protection and the damage
was something appalling. Our
Colorado people will be called
upon to furnish the fruit this year
and will do so with more than
ninety per cent of full crop for
the state over.
