Coed Reads Prevent Disease

Few people, on first thought.
would see any possible connection
between good roads and good
health. Yet the state board of
health of Kansas says that good
roads can and will prevent dis
ease.
How?
By the removal Of weeds and
trash. Weeds and trash prevent
the prompt evaporation of mois-
ture and promote retention of
ground water. This makes ideal
breeding spots for mosquitoes,
flies and other insects, which are
known as disease carriers. not to
mention chineh bugs, hoppers
and other insects which are crop
damagers.
Good roads also prevent disease
by providing eood drainage.

An Advertising Story

An advertising manager at a
Sphinx club dinner in New York
told an advertising story.
"A man." he said entered a
shop one bitter cold day and
bought a wooden muller. When
he opened the muller he found
inside of it the photograph of a
beautiful girl, together with a
note saying:
IF you are single, please write
to me.
"A name and address followed,
and the man smiled. He was
single, and he put the photograph
on his sitting room mantel.
There, every evening, looking up
from his book he beheld it. It
was very beautiful, and in a week
he had fallen head over heels in
love.
So he wrote to the girl. An.
other week passed, a week Of
anxious, nerve racking suspense.
Then the lovesick man received
this crushing letter:

SUBSCRIPTION:

The following interview with
prominent Parkersburg citizen,
clipped from Sundays Dispatch
News, sizes up the feeling of
most Progressives pretty accu-
rately:
When r. J. A. Foreman was
approached for an interview on
the subject Of the amalgamation
Of the Progressive and Republic
can parties, he said he did not
consider himself good material,
for an interesting story and that
what he had to say ar any time
In a political way generally came
spontaneously, and from one who
had no ak to grind and who was
a plain man Of the people.
On the union of the two polite
al organizations Mr.. Foreman de-
clared:
Il am a Progressive, and will
be till the end of time. When
the leaders of a political party
reach the point in the administra
ton of tn. affairs of the nation
in which they attempt to assume
the role Of dictator as to the flu
ture of that party [ am through
with it. This is what certain
leaders of the old line Republican
organization tried to do in the
nomination of their candidate for
the presidency in 1912. This, to-
gether with their steam-roller
methods in the naming Of dele
gates to the national convention,
favorable to the stand-pat idea,
caused the rupture of the one
time strongest organizations of
the kind in existence.
IF, after Mr.. Taft declared he
had been a man Of straw long
enough, he had given the party
the confidence it demanded by
showing himself a leader of Ma
poleon courage in placing himself
on record as in favor Of change
in governmental principles, show
ing by his acts that he would give
the people what they wanted, the
split might have been averted.
And as matters now stand | am
a Progressive. -
Asked if he would still be a Re-
publican in the event the ANAL
gamation was effected, the new
PARTY to be known as Republican
but having Progressive princi-
pies. Mr.. Boreman said he would
follow his principles, adding:
Many of the planks in the Re-
publican platform are worn
threadbare and so behind the
times that the mass Of the voters
of the country do not want them
administered as a part Of the
government. On the other hand,
and as Theodore Roosevelt has
pointed out, instead Of supporting
fossilized political beliefs l shall
live for principles that will live
en- after me-"

INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS SHOW
GREAT PRODUCTIVE POWER

County Assessor Wiley M. Weaver
has just completed the compilation of
industrial statistics Of the county, from
which it appears that there. is under
actual cultivation in principal crops
1877, ,537 acres, which OF course does
not include land which at the time did
not happen to be under cultivation does
not include orchards, etc. and which
would make the total Of the developed
farm area of the valley about 225, 900
acres
The startling fact IS developed that
there is an area Of SOILS acres Of al
falfa in the valley, an increase of 100
per cent in two years and making this
the first in which the acreage of al
falfa has exceeded that of barley.
Barley takes second place in acre
age for the first time this year, show
ing the encroachments Of alfalfa and
cotton upon its area. the total bein9,
1889 acres. l 4
Cotton comes third, with i6,940 ac-
les, a great increase in area and prom
ieing large returns to the growers.
Egyptian corn shows 10, $50 acres,
and this figure is probably very con-
servativc. for there was considerable
planting after HE assessors men went
into the field. m. t.
Cantaloupes make the astonishing
showing Of 1860 acres, about 1000
acres larger than had been reported
t.u hy far the largest acreage ever
successfully marketed in the valley.
Cattle make a great showing this
year, with 55.i35 head.
There are 33.307 head Of hogs in the
valley. which are beginning to recov-
er from the setback the hog industry
had two years ago and are now IN
creasing rapidly.
Another surprising showing is the
presence OF 32,956 sheep.
There are sSOS head of horses and
3OS2 mules in the county.
1t is something Of a poultry country.
with 1863 dozen.
With 9277 stands of bees in the val
ley there is honey production Of i'm
portance.
The assessor discovered 307 automo-
TILES, indicating the power Of the peO-
pie to get around freely.

GLOBE IRoTTER RETURNS

/ISeeleY Sentinel I


For productiveness and infinite ag-
ricultural possibilities the Imperial val
ley has the valley of the Nile skinned

just returned from a years tour of the
world
Mr. Campbell is brother of Geo. l..

have visited the hot countries on
the globe but nowhere have | found
a country of such great possibilities as
this Imperial valley. No one would
have dreamed ten years ago what is
now an accomplished fact. So today
men can not dream the probable
achievement of another decade. We
are just finding out little bit of what
this wondrous combination Of soil and
climate will do We are still in the
experimental stages. For one thing I
believe the valley soil will be found
peculiarly adapted to the culture OF
sugar beets Should factories be es-
tablished here think the beets could
be grown on large scale more sue
cessfully than anywhere"
Mr.. Campbell does not expect TO re-
turn to Mexico soon. Conditions are
too unsettled there. He says a strong
hand is needed in Mexico. While he
does not advocate Intervention, he
thinks Uncle Sam may have to play the
part of big brother before the racket
is over After spending a short time
in Seeley, Mr.. Campbell will go to the
coast.
