London, June 24.-The great naval
review by King George at Spithead

sembling of the largest number Of
vessels Of the dreadnaught class ever
brought together. Twelve Of these
enormous fighting machines were In

British navy, and one, the Won der
Tam, said to be the fastest warship
in the world, came from Germany.
The twelfth was the American battle
ship Delaware, the most powerful and
up-to-date battleship participating In
the review. Among the other foreign
powers represented by war vessels
were France, Japan, Austria and Italy.
Despite the seamen's strike, the
roadstead was swarming with vessels
Of every imaginable type, from great
liners and handsome private yachts to
skiffs, and from these vessels and
from the shores many hundreds OF
thousands of persons witnessed the
big spectacle. King George and Queen
Mary and their immediate party were

be divided into lecture halls with
moving picture facilities. Every
town, county and state served by
these railroads will be invited to
send lecturers and moving picture
films to depict to the public the OPP
portunities for homes offered in the
territory along these lines. The
towns, counties and states will be
asked to exhibit the products OF
their soil and distribute pamphlets,
literature, etc., from booths In the

been sent to every western state to
secure the most interesting photo
graphs of home, farm and industrial
life. At the last Chicago land show

WAR MAY SOON Be PREvENTABLE
When Nations Create Permanent
Court Of Arbitration, all May be
; on a Peace Footing.

Washington, June PA measur-
able advance towards the creation OF
a permanent court Of arbitration, an
ideal of lovers of peace, will be re-
corded when the British government
finally gives Its sanction to the decla-
ration of London, providing for the
erection Of an international prize
court.
President Taft, Secretary Knox
and Senator Root have not nesitated
to indicate their belief that the estab-
lishment of the permanent court OF
arbitration, followed, as 1t would he'
by the adoption by all great nations
of a universal code Of international
law. would work more for the per-
petuation Of peace among nations
than many separate arbitration

'TAl MOTOR eARs
FOR GOOD ROADS
Million Dollar Fund Possible by
Small Tax
WOULD INCREASE MOTOR TRAVEL
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
Says Farmers Would be Saved
Millions In Moving crops II
Roads Were Good.

Washington, June 24.-Estimating
that 1 out Of S Of the 100000 motor
cars in the country Is used In inter-
state travel, Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina said in the senate that
81 900 900 annually can be raised for
the improvement Of roads by impos-
ing a license fee Of $40 on each OF
such machines. He prophesied that
the improvement Of the roads would
increase greatly motor car travel, and
SO enlarge the fund.
The proposition for an interstate
tax on motors is embraced In bill OF
which the North Carolina senator is
the author. 1t proposes the appropria-
ton Of $1.O0O,OOO annually for the
benefit of roads on which the rural
mails are carried.
Mr.. Simmons contended for the
equity Of the general scheme because
of the use Of the roads by the govern
ment and because of the benefit to
the farmers OF the country.
1--WE have" the senator said, "the
finest railways in the world and the
poorest highways. The government
has helped to build these railroads
and develop this splendid system OF
long distance transportation. Why
should 1t not help to build the equally
important system Of short distance
transportation--the country highways
over which the products Of the farm
must be hauled before they reach
these national highways"
Mr.. Simmons said that Of the 2,l5O,-
900 miles Of dirt road the country is
using 100000 miles in carrying the
mails. He contended that 1t was un-
der obligation to the farmers to aid In
maintaining them.
The saving made by general i'm
provement Of the highways was placed
at $4,000, 900 to $15,OOO,OO0 annually.
He estimated that the proper improve
ment of the wagon roads would save
the farmers $SOO,OOO,OO0 to 100000
600 in the cost of transporting their
crops.

STATE Board Of Health Says it y
Necessary.

Doc Crumbine wants to quarantine
III dogs for 30 days and compel
muzzling them. He issued suhc an
order but the live stock sanitary
commissioner, J. H. Mercer, says II
would take all the militia to en-
force It.
The prevalence Of rabies is the
reason for the order. Scarcely day
passes that report is not received
BY the state board Of health that
some person has been bitten by q
rabid dog. Scarcely day passes that
the state veterinarian at the State
Agricultural college does not receive
a report that cattle or other domestic
animals have been bitten by rabid
dogs.
Head after head Of rabid dogs
have been sent to the state bacteriol-
ogist and to the state veterinarian.
In cases where persons are bitten the
heads are sent to the bacteriologist
and cases where animals are bitten
they are sent to the veterinarian.
DR.. s. J. Crumbine says there are
now twenty people from Kansas tax
ing pasteur treatment in sanitariums
Loo,,ro ~ Paor of rahiea Thew have
been bitten by dogs, some of which
are known to have had rabies. In
other cases the persons do not know
the dogs were suffering from rabies.
but they are taking no chances.
There are hundreds Of dogs In ABB
lene running about promiscuously
and 1t would be quite relief to 90
