 Many men will volunteer for this
 work who know little about roat
 work, and many more will be physic
 ally unable to accomplihs much Every little helps. Every lick vii count. Every man can do a little It is the governors desire that tht
 county judges arrange for the over seers in the various districts to tak'
 direct charge of the work. Organiza
 tion is essential. Each road should
 have its workers organized into worl , squads Select the bad places in you roads and repair them. If you hav' g men who cannot handle an axe, picl } out of the road or driving teams. Sc } lect the men for the work with refer l ence to their strength and ability. D
 not expect to build permanent meca 3 dam highways. Arrange to put you 7 present highways in shape. Repair tn 9 bad places. Fill up the ruts and cleal s out the ditches. Remove the rocks an l. obstacles to traffic and shape up tn = roads.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES
 WILL. COOPERATE

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-J. c. Clary, State Labor Commissioner, reports that he is being given every assur- ance by the telephone authorities of their cooperation with hi min amel- iorating the condition of girls em- ployed in telephone offices through out the state, especially in the small exchanges.
 Complaints have come to the atten- tion of the Commissioner of instances in which the girls have been compell- ed to work thirteen hours day, at a wage of from $22 to $25 month. In some cases they were forced to work eighteen hours on Sunday, with one hour for supper.

The telephone companies are meeting his sugges- tions in the most harmonious manner and agreeing to do what they can to make the conditions better. Commissioner Clary says that he agrees with Mayor Taylor in his statement that there are too many women and children now being em- ployed at starvation wages, and he is ,,.r1, 1>n1 i,, tln 1in. tion of the minimum wage.

INFERlORlTY IF
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
DIR. kNOPF SAYS LARGE PERCEV. FACE ARE MENTALLY OR
 PHYSICALLY BELOW PAR.
Famous New York Professor Sneak 6 at International Congress on
 School Hygiene.

Buffalo, Aug. 27.--That undoubtedly very high percentage of school children throughout the United States are mentally or physically be, low par, was the statement of Dr. s. Adolphus Knopf, Professor of MIedl, cine in the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, before the Fourth International Congress on School Hygiene in session here to- day.
 Dr. Knopf took exception to the re- ported statement of Professor R. W. Corwin of the University of Colorado that of 20,000.000 children attending i the public schools, 1o,000.000 are in bad health. Dr. Knopf said that he | thought this estimate too high, but added that it would be extremely ! difficult to prove any figures. 1 The Social Emergency that Con- fronts the Human Race,' was the subject of a talk by President Vii I liam T. Foster, of Reed College and also President of the Pacific coast l Federation for Sex Hygiene. Said Mir. Foster:
 The Social Emergency that con- | fronts the human race is fraunted be- fore us in many unlovely forms and !. appears in new aspects wherever we scratch the surface. Study the re- suits of haman frailty and the pos abilities of racial betterment through an avenue of approach and we meet the fundamental problems of sexual hygiene and morals. Our cities struggle in vain to free their police forces from graft while the business of prostitution offers such large and easy profits. Students of municipal
 recreations discover such conditions
 that they regard parks and play
 grounds as physical and moral menances unless under careful and
 rained supervision.
 "The home, the church and the
 school have reached but small pro-
 portion of the human race with ade- quate sex instruction, while-igno-
 rance of which many people are
 proud. During these generations ir which the home, the church and the school have withheld the truth from
 young people, other agencies have been busy disseminating falsehoods Having almost no opportunity to heal sex and matrimony discussed with
 reverence, our young people have
 almost invariably heard these sub jects discussed with vulgarity Partly as result of all this has come the general acceptance of the double standard of morality which . has bitterly condemned the girl
 made her an outcast of society-and ' excused the boy for the same offence
 on the spacious plea of physiological.
 necessity. With the sanctio3, of this by society, the majority of men have
 grown up in indulgence, and have de : veloped habits which are, or whicf they believe to be, beyond their con
 trol. Millions of men who recognize no law in sexlife but their own ap-
 petites are thus contributed to us by the past They are factors in the present situation and must be reck- l oneu with.

Advertisers Are In Good Company
By HOLLAND.

MR. BUSINESS MAN, have M you ever thought that advertising puts you ill good company? It is an old saying that a man is known by the company he keeps. When you join the ranks of the ad- vertisers you join the ranks of the biggest and most suc- cessful merchants and manu- facturers of the world.
 How many concerns can you name in Chicago. in New York, in Kansas City, in Bos- ton. in any large city in the country? Name them and you will notice that all are big advertisers and all are lead CTS in their lines. Ask your friends to name the most suc- cessful merchants they know in the big cities and in each case the name of great ad- vertiser will be mentioned.
 The same rule is true of smaller cities and towns. The successful merchants are the advertisers. The advertiser stamps himself as one hav- ing confidence in himself and his wares, as one proud of his calling and seeking publicity and the test of patronage.

 OF SUCCESSFUL
 ADVERTISERS.

Foxes Are Worth Big Money.

VANCOUVER, July 22.-One of the
most remarkable shipments that has
been sent down from the north In
some time is 800, 900 worth of foxes
which are included In tho cargo oil
the G. p. r. Princess May, which ar.
rived in port from Sksgwsy yester.
day. There are 12S animals of the
finest specimens, Including black, ell.
yer tip and red foxes. All are cubs
and one pair Of fine black foxes alone,
it 10 estimated, will DO worth SIO, OO0
when fully grown. The shipment IL
consigned to St. Johns, N. B., and
Prince Edward leland, where there
are large fox farms. Two men are in

animals and feed them on condensed

Using Lye To Kill Gophers.

The superintendent of the state
board of agriculture of Nebraska
recommends concentrated lye as .
destroyer of pocket gophers. With a
small iron rod he finds the runway of
the gopher, makes = hole down into
it. and pours a little dry powdered lye
down into the gopher's highway. The
gopher gets the lye or his feet, ticks it
off, and thus Is poisoned. If this will
work with pocket gophers, there would
seem to be no reason why it will not
destroy ground squirrels, prairie dogs
and other burrowiug pests.
Few persons realize the millions OF
dollars in damages caused by these
little animals in meadows, orchards
and cultiv ated fields. There are many
ways of poisoning them, none of which
will work all Of the time. but some will
help every day In the year. Use them
all, and make the conditions unhealthy
for the burrowers all through the seq.
son. The evil may be cut down, II not
abolished.

CURRENCY.

According to advices from Wash
ington, there are conflicting views re.
garding the proposed currency law
that is now before congress. Its
advocates claim 1t will afford protec.
ton against financial panics, while
its opponents sllege that it will pu,
the government into the banking
business and would not result in pub.
lie benefit.
The 800, 600. 900 OF national bank
currency now in circulation are Sc
cured by government two per cent
bonds. The banks Issuing this cur.
rency own the bonds and receive the
interest on them. They also pay Out
the notes in exchange for discounted
paper, and 90 receive current interes,
rates. There is . small tax on the
notice and other expenses, but In the
end this circulation earns for the
banks . fair rate of interest, which
the borrower pays.
The Glsss.Owen bill proposes %
issue of $500. 600, 900 treasury notes,
to be secured by bank assets. Re-
demption is to be forced by q tax or
interest rate fixed by the Federal
Reserve board. Senator Owen says
this interest rate will be high enough
to recompense the government for the
additional interest 1t must pay when
the two per cent bonds are refunded
into three per cents without the circu.
lation privilege. In any event, there
will be a tax high enough to permit
the use of these notes only Ia case OF
emergency.
II is q denonstra ted fact that dur.
Ing some seasons 1t least, there is
not enough currency. There will,
therefore, be % annual emergency,
and, with q tax added to the usual
interest rates, currency will be OBJ
tsinable At sti6 rates. which the PEG.
pie must pay. The Aldrich-V reelsnd
emergency act, passed in 1908, i'm.
poses 90 high . tax that it has never
been called into operation. The EN-.
Urgency has not yet been great enough
to warrant the rate the banks would
have to charge under this act.
