Farmers Fleeing From Bad Roads.


A dispatch from Somerset says
that in the last week more than
twenty-five farmers have left
Pulaski county to locate in the
Western States. The same dis
patch says there is scarcely a day
that is not marked by the depar-
ture of people for the West.
"Poor roads," it is added, ''are
said to be the cause of 80 many
farmers seeking other locations"
1t is doubtless true that poor
roads are responsible for remov-
ais from many Kentucky coun-
ties. Not all those who go West,
of course, are going by reason
of dissatisfaction with road con.
ditions. MANY of them are at
tracted by cheap farming lands
that are skillfulls, adve tised by
railroads or real estate agents. 1t
is an established fact, however,
that countise which have good
roads draw population from coun-
ties which do not have them.
Now that the movement for i'm.
proved highways is so general
throughout the country and so
many States and counties are
building permanent thorough.
fares, farmers can hardly be CEN
sured for refusing longer to live
on mud roads. Uhless a farmer
be strongly "ancIiored" 1T seems
to be nothing more than natural
that he should out farm on a
mud road and eek location
where he may frayel with some
degree Of comfo4 and transport
the products os his labor at
smaller sxpepss q
Pulaskicounty can i'll afford to
spare its farming population. If
people are leaving because of bad
roads the progressive citizens of
the county should set themselves
to work to secure improvement.
Why not form a few good roads
associations in different sections
of the county to discuss the stu
alton and to formulate plans for
betterment? The farmers them
selves should lead the movement.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Value Of SURPRISING II.
By DIR. SIMON FLExNER.


When 1t is recalled that tuber-
culosis causes about one-third Of
the deaths that occur between
the ages Of twenty and dfty
years II becomes at once appar-
ent what an enormous influence
the suppression Of this one dis
ease must exercise upon the de-
veiopment and progress of socie-
ty. The eradication Of tubercu-
losis is among the chief ends to
be accomplished by all the agen-
cies which are striving to uplift
human society and to make its
individual units more efficient
and self sustaining. Hence the
conquest Of tuberculosis becomes
the proper field Of endeavor for
the statesman, legislator. physi-
clan and layman.
