Highway improvements

Ope thousand miles of highway

road Improvement system will bc
what Pennsylvania can show Ut the
end Of the present year hut In spite
of the progress made by the Key
stone State IL Is being closely pressed
by its ncighbor commonwealth.
New york and New Jersey have
been building roads on definite pro-
gram for several years, whereas this
state had no system for its highway
construction until last year, giving
the two other states an advantage
which has been worth untold thous-
and of dollars TO their people. Ohio
and Maryland have just created
highway departments and other
states like Texas and Michigan are
already engaged in building on a
scale that will make Pennsylvania
look to its laurels.
The mileage of roads improved by
the State this year will bo the largest
in its history, but this Is only be-
ginning. Pennsylvania is committed
to the establishment of a network Of
highways spproximating 5000 miles,
the greatest of any State, and so To-
Gated as to connect every county seat
and provide easy eccess to market
towns in agricultural districts. The
adoption of Just such system has
given New York the lead Of every
State in the matter of highway inn
provements and resulted in the vot-
ing of 50, 900, 600 year for ten years
to make the system the best in the

MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN RACE
Admittedly the Fly Has No ssnse,
But is Mankind Really Far

1T is mighty good thing for the
people of this country" says Abe Pc
ters that the fly hasn't any sense A
fly will walk deliberately into any sort
of a trap with its eyes wide open. Put
down piece of sticky fly paper and
pretty soon dozen flies are fast on Il.
That isn't SO remarkable, but every
one of them kick and struggle as long
as 1t lasts. telling every other fly that
It is In trouble.
Naturally, one would suppose that
the other flies, seeing what tho first
dozen had got into. would keep away,
but they don't The more flies get
stuck on the paper, the more the 9th
ers want to get ON. II IL so with any
sort of trap. You can't fix up anything
in the nature Of trap that fool fly
won't fall for. If II wasn't for the fact
that fly can raise IA family inside of
II week and that baby fly on Monday
morning may he the great-grandmoth-
er of million flies before Saturday
night, the tribe would have been ex-
tingulshed long ago.
"And yet. come to think It over I
don't know but that flies show about
as much sense as a lot of humans. The
fool humans keep walking into traps
with their eyes wide open year after
year, and don't seem to learn much of
anything from either observation or
experience Every time see young
fellow Just throwing himself away and
running all his chances forever of

meat at from thirty-f1ve to fifty per
cent. aSeve the cost. The time has
returned, he claims, when it will not
only pay every farmer to raise his own
meat, but to cure 1t for family use and
for sale besides. He goes on:
Five million dollars year spent
for meat that might have been raised
on the farm, and the money kept at
home, is Kansas record. And it Is a
mistake. 1t shows we are advancing
backward in some things.
''The good old butchering days of
our fathers ought to return, and with
them full knowledge of how to cure
the meat In various ways, so when
