16 agricultural counties in the State
that have less than 10 per cent of the
roads improved, while there are As
agricultural counties that have more
than 10 per cent improved. The aver
age price of farm lands in the 16
counties, according to The report of
the United States Census, was S4S,50
per acre, while the average price of
land in the As counties was S65,79
per acre. In other words, the average
price of farm lands in the good road
counties was $17,29 or 35 per cent
more than in the poor road counties.
When we consider the fact that there
are S73,0O0,000 acres of farm lands in
the United States, the possibilities
along this line are rather startling.
Even assuming that the land would be
increased only Sc an acre, the total
enhancement on farm lands alone
would be $4,365,000.
Improved roads will yield an addi-
tional income by enabling the farmer
to cultivate with profit land which
otherwise would be less proftably en-
ployed The margin of profit to the
farmer is the difference between the
cost of production plus the cost of
transportation, and the selling price,
When his lands are so situated that
the cost of hauling uses up the diff
ference between the cost of produc-
ton and the selling price. production
must cease or be carried on at a loss.

in TIL TWILIGHT
Is PROMINENT IN CONGRESS

John Sharp Williams, senator from
Mississippi, is one Of the picturesque
figures in congress. Two things make
him so. One is his deafness, which Is
considerable. and which they say is
growing on him. AS a result of it he
continually keeps his hand followed
to his ear and frequently has to ask to
have the question repeated to him. The
other is his habit---a result, prob
ably of his deafness--of moving about
the senate during debate. He does
not like to sit still. He walks-softly
and gracefully-from his chair toward
the man whom he is talking at, with
his right foreflnger extended and ac-
cusing his opponent, and with his left
hand helping him to hear. Apparently
he never for a moment thinks that
he is conspicuous or picturesque.
Williams is attractive In speech as
we'll as picturesque in garb, and man
ner. The press gallery, that collection
of cynics and expert listeners, usually

NEW LEADER OF THE REDS

The job of handling the Cincinnati
team has fallen to Hank O'Day. for
many years a well-known National
league umpire. A number of the best
known players in the country were
mentioned for the position of manager,
but the selection of O'Day was in the
nature of big surprise. O'Day was
a pitcher before he joined the ranks OF
umpires IL years ago. He twirled for
the New York Giants and Other of the
big league teams and was accounted
one of the best box artists on the dia-
mond. He has never been tried in
managerial position and there will be
much interest manifested in the man
ner in which he will succeed in Gin
cinnati, where so many good baseball
pilots have made failures In building
up a strong team
O'Day is man of excellent judg-

amount of nerve to back up his opln-

BATTIN RECORDS
A LOCAL VICTORY

That the coming football clash be-
tween the Central and East Side
High School representatives should
be a bitter struggle on "Tur-
key day is evident by the fact
that both have been beaten by Bat
tin High School of Elizabeth by the
very same cores.
The Betsy Towners" only a few
weeks ago administered a 6 to 0
drubbing to the East Siders. Yester-
day they came to town once more
and handed Central's warriors a 6
to 0 beating. AS in the game against
East Side, Battin won yesterday on
o f1uke play. Gurton, who played
quarterback for the Battiners,
grasped the opportunity in the third
quarter. He received the ball on the
forty-yard line and rushed down the
field as Referee Laggrin blew his
whistle for offside play on the part
OF the Central lads. OF course the
visiting youngster did not heed the
whistle and rushed over the line.
The Battin team had the choice of
either a penalty or a touchdown. Of
course they chose the latter, and
won the game. Stanford, BRAINS
and Schmitt did good work for the
locals. Harry Benefits services
were sorely missed. Although BRAINS
did fine work he did not compare
with Bennett, who is now out of the
game with a fractured rib.

New York practically saved the day

to drive Herzog back and cut loose

said that Cady deserved a major por-
ton of the credit accorded him for

contest.
Neither Made q Balk.
Neither of the two stars committed
an "OtBrien,' which is George AIDE

drawn contests, while Woods team
mates always came through and won
games for him, Joe having no mar in

relieved of their tasks on days when
they were not in form three Zines.
Johnson, however, finished nine
games for other pitchers, while Wood
finished only FIVE games as pinch
pitcher.

games for pitchers who Haunted the
distress signals. With a team like
Boston or Washington to back him
Walsh would have had q record as
good as Johnson or Wood. As it was.
