Man Who Wouldn't Be BIuffed

Success Gives Impulse to Gener-

Oberliu. Kan. Aug Because
Tom Mckay. a farmer living IA miles
south of Oberlin. would not be bluffed,
Decatur county now has miles of
improved dirt road. and the farmers
are so delighted with the result and
the small expense that they are max
ing plans for building several more
roads out Of Oberlin.
At the farmers institute in Obcrlin
several months ago Mr.. Mckay deliN-
cred a talk on good roads, following
q similar talk by il. O. Douglass, vice
president of a bank at Oberlin.
Not Afraid to Work Tor Others.
Some Of us farmers are standing
1n our own light" Mr.. Mckay said.
1--WE argue that we should not build
good roads for motor cars to travel
over I have no motor car, but 1t
seems to me that a road that is good
for motor car is good for a farmer
to haul a big load Of wheat over or
for me to drive my surrey over to take
my family to town. We 3re too afraid
that we Will do something which will
benefit someone else and, in fact we
are the losers by our own acts ]

part of the county, where [ live. to
Oberlin I will agree to take my boy
and my team. if necessary. and grade
another mile of that fourteen miles if
the rest of you business men and
farmers living along the road viii do
your share
Some of the farmers in attendance at
the institute inquired the estimated
cost of such a road as planned. Mckay
answered that he believed it would be
about $50 "A mile not including the cost
of grading down the hills, filling the
draws and the building of culverts.
Couldn't Bluff Him.
1--WE will agree to do our share to-
ward building the road if you viii su-
perintend it, said one of the farmers.
You can't bluff me-" Mckay said.
Put up the money and I will give my
time, Now you people who have talked
good roads, do something or quit say
ing that you really desire good roads"
The road building has accordingly re-
Gently been accomplished.
"The cost of this road has been ex-
actly s2675 a mile. including the laying
out of the road and marking of boun
daries with the two teams which we
used for that purpose, the cleaning up
of trash on the road, in fact, not only
all of the preliminary work, but includ-
ing the work of the engine and men
hired to operate it in the final grading
and smoothing up of the roadbed.''
The great success of the Mckay road
has started a movement for the same
class Of work in several directions from
Oberlin. The farmers are all getting
enthusiastic since they have seen the
good results which can be had at such
small expense, and several other
roads are under way.

SOCIALIST LOST 10 POoL TAX.
GiIzsrd Police Judge Couldn't See Any
TnconstitutionaIity.

Girard, Kan, Aug. 2.-The Socialists
of Crawford county have lost a round
in their fight against the poll tax law.
Justice Phillips at Curranville. the
other day, held the law to be uncon-
stitutional. Now James Morgan, po-
lice judge, announced that the law is u
good one and fined Oliver Brown for
refusing to pay his tax. J. I. Shep-
herd of Fort Scott, one time Demo
crat, but just now attorney for the
Socialist party, defended Brown. He
picked both big and little flaws in the
Girard city ordinance providing for
the collection of a penalty for a re-
fusal to pay a poll tax. but Judge Nor
gan couldn't see them. Browns con
viction is probably the first in the
state.

night there were some terrific strokes
of thunder and lightning up on his
farm, three miles north of Hiawatha,
and fearful that his barn had been or
would be struck he got up to watch.
Near the barn there was a very
large tree and in the morning he
counted 263 dead sparrows and four
robins under that tree. One robin
came to and he gave it its freedom.
1t is supposed that the lightning rod
saved the barn and tree and scattered
the lightning around just strong

EAT RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Green Worm Appears at Zurich to
Help Fight the Pest.

Zurich, Kan, Aug. Am enemy of
the Russian thistle has made its ap-
pearance here during the past couple
of days. 1t is a little green worm
about an inch in length, and is about
the thickness of the lead in a pencil.
There are millions of the worms.
Their attack was first noticed on the
thistles along the railroad right of
way. They became so thick on the
rails that the engine wheels slipped,
and sand had to be used on the rails.
There is some danger, when the
thistles are all gone. that the worms
will turn their attention to other vege-
tatiOn. So far they are not molesting
anything but the thistles.
