Trouble for Burdette.

They appear to find delight in beating
Burdette, who walked away with the first
prizes in the May, June, July and August
crusades. To triumph over Burdette is
considered an accomplishment worth
while and the former leader is going to
find it a difficult matter to finish the
month with the highest score.
Uncertainty as to VINO will win the
grand prizes at the end of the month is
adding Zest to the activities of the
'swatters." Burdette may finish no
higher tnan fourth and yet win the grand
prize of s1uU for the trophies are to be
awarded on the basis of the highest
scores made during the entire five
months campaign.
Mark Tree. who is leading the race
this month. may finish at the top of the
co umn and yet be awarded only the
third or fourth grand prize. His record
for the other months will have to be
taken into consider ton, and this means
competition with William Steiner. Law
renee Fitzgerald and others who have
done good work in the campaign from
the start.

That another big slaughter record will
be made by contestants in The Star 8
anti-fiy campaign this month practically
is assured. Although the months scor-
ing is not half completed the mortality

Two of the contestants, Mark Trice and
Lawrence Fitzgerald, have individual
scores of half million points and better,
and n third, Layton FL. Burdette, is near
ing the half-million class.
None of the five monthly campaigns
wagcd against the fly this summer has
produced greater enthusiasm than the
present one. The grand prizes are an
inducement to the competitors to put
forth their best efforts, and there is con-
siderable elation on the part of some of
the entrants that they have been able
to keep Layton III. Burdette. generally

FEDERAL AID TO
THE POST ROADS

The members of Congress are di-
vided into two classes, first the
gentlemen who represent country
districts, made up mostly of far
mers, the lumbermen and miners,
and second, representatives from
city districts. The members from
the country districts and especially
those from the south have been
working quite a while to try to get
the government to furnish some f.
nancial aid in maintaining and re-
pairing the roads over which the
mail riders pass.
Thomas Jefferson long since rec
ognized the propriety of this as is
found in his writings with refer
ence to internal improvements of
the country roads. Henry Clay said,
"Of all the modes in which the
country can employ its surplus reve-
nue., none is more permanent and
beneficial than that of internal
improvements. Fixed to the soil it
becomes durable part of the land
itself difusing comfort and activity
and animation on all sides," and
John G. Calhoun while secretary of
war said LET it not be said that
internal improvements should be
left wholly to the enterprise of the
state and individuals" A very i'm
portant bill is now up before con-
gress, which we think will pass, in
fact it has already, we understand,
passed the house, in which it is pro-
posed to spend from fifteen to twen-
ty-fve dollars per mile per annum

states transporting rural mails. We
hope that the state legislature will
also follow the example and supple
ment this amount with like sum
and in this way, let the money act
as sort of bait to toll the people
into having good roads. Some of
the gentlemen in the city districts
oppose this on the grounds of what
they call legislation in favor of one
class against another class, and say
further that the government has no
right to pay the state and local
communities for the use of their
property, but as was ably illustrat-
ed by Mr.. Lever, from this state,
they seem to forget the millions of
dollars that the government is an
nually paying to railroads, electric
and cable cars, steamships and for
the rent of post office buildings and
for pneumatic tube service and
house to house delivery in cities, of
mails by carriers, and they do not
seem to realize as Mr.. Lever says,
that Prosperity for the farm spells
prosperity for the cities, rural hap
piness means city contentment, the
town and country are interdepen-
dent, one cannot prosper while the
other fails to do so. Secretary Wilson
estimates that it costs each person
in the United States annually three
dollars and half on account of the
bad conditions of the roads" AND
GOOD ROADS WILL KEEP
PEOPLE ON THE FARM. We

come a law. A. S. II.

EXTRACT FROM A SERMON BY A
ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST.

Note carefully the following ex-
tract from sermon by Rev. Father
D. S. Phelan. for Sunday, June 30th,
1912, and printed in the Western
Waterman, (Roman Catholic) June
9th, 1912:
''And why is it the church is
wrong? Why it is everybody is
afraid of the Catholic Church? And
the American people are more afraid
of her than any people of the world.
Why are they afraid of the Catholic
Church ?-They know what the
Catholic Church means. 1t means
all the Catholics of the world; not
of one country, or of two countries,
but of all the countries of the world.
And it means more than that 1t
means that the Catholics Of the
world love the church more than
anything else, that the Catholics of
the world love the church more than
they do their own governments,
more than they do their own ma
tons, more than they do their own
fortunes, more than they do their
own selves. We of the Catholic
Church are ready to go to the death
for the church. Under God, she is
the supreme object Of our worship.
Tell us that we think more of the
church than we do of the United
States ;of course we do. Tell us we
are Catholics first, and Americans or
Englishmen afterwards; of course
we are. Tell us, in the conflict be-
tween the church and the civil gov
eminent, We take the side of the
church; of course we do Why, if
the government Of the United States
were at war with the church, we
would say tomorrow, To hell with
the government if the world were
at war, we would say, To hell with

And why is it the Pope is so strong?
Why is it that in this country, where
we have only seven per cent of the
population, the Catholics Church is
SO much feared? She is loved by all
her children and feared by every
body. Why is it the Pope is such a
tremendous power? Why, the Pope

Monaco Of wood AlcohoT.

The widespread discussion which
followed the series of deaths in
Berlin as a consequence of the drink
ing of liquors contaminated with
wood alcohol has again attracted
attention to It's poisonous character -.
There has been considerable Differ
ence of opinion as to whether this
poisonous effect of this substance Is
actually due to the alcohol itself OF
to some impurities, which are al
most invariably present in all ex-
cept the most refined products i.
There is scarcity of facts regard
ing the actual behavior OF wood al
cohol in the animal body, so that Lne
causes of its extremely
poisonous character are by no means
clearly understood.
; with respect to ordinary grain
alcohol, the component OF our alec
hol beverages, the facts are better
understood Ordinarily alcohol is,
when taken in moderate quantities,
rapidly burned up in the body.
This fact has been demonstrated by
numerous experiments. With wood

declares E. T. Falrchlld, Kansas

Tho condition is due, among
other things, to the fact that the
emphasis of educational thought has
been placed on the city schools, the

expense of the rural school. Mr..

Increasing trend OF tenant farmers,
