GOOD ROADS FOLLOW FLOOD
Ohio Catastrophe Promises to Result
In Much Better Highways In
That Section.

The truth of the old saying. tits an
Ill wind that blows no one good" is
no less we'll demonstrated, following
the great food that swept over Ohio
and Indiana than It has been after
every disaster the world has seen. In
the presnt case those who advocate
the transportation Of merchandise by
motor trucks instead of by horse and
wagon, or rail methods, are the ones
who see a great good come out of
the flood. though they were no less
sympathetic with it's victims or
prompt in coming to their relief than
any others in the United States.
1t is the reconstruction of roads
and bridges destroyed by the great
sweep of waters that the motor truck
advocates are to benefit, according to
VicePresident G.. w. Bennett of the
Garford company of Elyria, o. With
the work Of rebuilding washed-out
roads and bridges completed. Ohio
end Indiana will have some Of the
best truck highways in the country.
says Mr.. Bennett, basing his state

from Garford truck dealers in all
parts OF the flooded district.

Generating the Kinebird.

The department Of agriculture has
granted certificate Of good character
to the kingbird, sometimes known In
the rural districts as the bee martin.
a species of fly catcher which inhabits
nearly every part of the United States.
The kingbird has been under indict-
ment in many sections as destroyer
of bees and foe of apiarists.
Experts now declare that it kills
only the drones and the useless bees.
and is, therefore, boon to the bee
raiser. Besides that. it preys on many
harmful insects and protects farmers

crows and chicken hawks, which 1t

ONE IDEA OF PHILANTHROPY
Carmen sylvia Says " She Had a
Million She Would Build Vast
Cathedral.

What curious ideas some people
have on the subject Of philanthropy.
Carmen sylvia, queen Of Roumania. is
the latest to answer that ancient
question, What would you do IL you
were a millionaire" She would build
vast cathedral with chapels In 1t
for every religion, and she would also
build an art school. AS 1t Is only a
very small minority OF people who
ever go to church or chapel, and those
that do go are usually OF the more
comfortable classes, IL Is to be feared
that Carmen Sylva's million would not
go very far to lessen human misery
Most people have asked themselves
what they would do il they were mil
lionaires, but the wiser among them
have contented themselves with say
ing what they would not do. A reso-
luton to give nothing to any religious
or charitable organizations, with n
very few exceptions, is fairly safe
one, since both religion and charity
are incompatible with organization.
