Between Monterey and Saltillo lies q

width, that would give an invading army
many an anxious moment. Within thai
short distance the country rises to ar
elevation Of roughly 500 feet, or q little
more than 5000 feet for sixty-sever
miles. The easiest pass Is negotiated by
the railroad, but little energy would b

With Saltillo taken, contact could be

Torreon and its tributary territory could
then be placed under control. and after
that the main force could push on to
San Luis Potosi.
Subsistence wouId BE Dimcult.
Subsistence by now would be a serious
problem. Main lines and branches includ-
ed. the American army would have to
guard a line Of communication no less
than 100 miles long. all of 1t single rail-
road running for the greater part
through difficult territory.
With the armies from the North in
touch with that holding the Capital.
some 500 miles of communication would
have to be kept open-a tremendous task
requiring the service Of at least Us 900
fifty men to the mile.
The territory so far effectively occu-
pied would not exceed twenty miles on
each side of the railroad track. and
Kitchener's blockhouse system might
have to be employed to keep even that
much.

Wilson administration can rest assured
that the magnitude Of the pacifcation
Of Mexico Is fully appreciated by the War
Department Intervention in Mexico
would not yet be in sight To the west
Of the trunk lines Of the National Rail-
ways Of Mexico lies a vast territory that
could be held by the insurrectos, or pa
triots-it all depends upon the viewpoint
for an indefinite time. To that part Of
the republic the ten-year term Of war
might easily apply. Even during the
Diaz regime, the Federal government
exercised its power there only through
bride, political corruption. and worse
What an invading army would meet there
may easily be inferred from this. In
accessible plateaux, great mountain
chains, canons that are veritaple rents
In the continent, passes that could be de-
Tended by a single machine gun against
an army corps, and valleys in which the
defenders could subsist with ease, make
up the great western half of the repub-
lie. Parts Of this territory are such that
those holding them could go to war b.
tween crops and manage to keep the in
vaders at bay. As much may be said
for the southern parts Of the republic.
This is hardly a bright picture. But It
is the best that can be given of the sub
feet Probably the cost Of pacification
would be not a cent less than $500. 900, 1000.
and casualties could not be expected to
number less than $1,000 men killed and
invalided.

AUTOISTS TAXED At RATE
50 CENTS PER HORSEPOWER

Lansing - Secretary of state
Martindale sent GU: $4,000 appli-
cation blanks to automobile own
ers of Michigan recently in order
that they might secure the in
formation necessary for them to
obtain their licenses for 1914. The
last legislature eliminated the an
nual license fee of SO and requires
that all motor vehicles be taxed
at the rate of so cents per horse
power. Considerable confusion was
expected to result when the
new license numbers were placed
on sale November 1, and Martin
dale facilitated matters somewhat
by placing the application blanks
in the hands of the motorists be-
fore they began to write in for
their new plates.
There are IA questions that must
be answered and sworn to by a
notary public before an automo-
bilist can secure a license for
1914. The law provides a heavy
penalty for a false statement, and
it is expected that the owners
will carefully investigate before
making answer to the questions.
Secretary Martindale expects
that nearly 10000 licenses will be
issued from the state department
next year.

Kent Agricultural Agent Skinner Plans Sys-
TEN of Nature Study Maps For Rural schools

going south and north, when the
first violets are found and many
otter interesting facts concern
ing outdoor life. 1t is believed
this system will result in the child
rem taking a much greater inter-
est in their surroundings and they
will also begin to associate nature
more closely with agriculture, thus
accomplishing tie first great les
son to be learned in successful
farming, according to Mr.. Skinner.
Director of the Weather Bureau
Schneider has promised to send
daily bulletins of the weather TO
the different schools if it can be
arranged to have mail boxes plac-
ed at all the various school houses.
Just how to solve this problem is
at present worrying Mr.. Skinner,
but he believes by January 1 he
will be able to have his charts in
stalled and mail boxes placed.
This is the first move of the kind
ever at -empted in the country, and
in case it proves successful it will
doubtless be adopted in all coun-
ties where agricultural education
is made compulsory. This is the
first year for compulsory agri2ul-
tural education in this county, and
the idea of weather and nature
study calendars is an outgrowth
of this form OF training.

KENT COUNTY ROADS
IN GOOD CONDITION

Grand Rapids-The special COM
mittee appointed to inspect the
road work of the Kent county
good road commissioner recently
made report in which there was
more commentator than criticism.
When the report had been read,
Supervisor Goul rose to say he
thought it was now up to the
board of supervisors t. pass a
resolution congratulating the
good roads commission on its
good work, that from the talk of
the first day one would be led to
believe nothing but streaks of
mud were to be found in Kent
county. This he said had now
been disproved and he thought
tne knocks ought to be turned
into boosts. The report of the
committee was accepted and flied.

SAYS MICH. MARRIAGE LAWS
ARE BEST IN THE WORLD

Ann Arbor-Dr. v. c. Vaughan
has received an interesting pub
LEGATION of medical-legal questions,
written by the eminent DR.. Hans
w. Maier of Halle, Germany. e is
a book dealing with the marriage
laws of every country on the
globe, and has the following TO
say of Michigan.
"On the statute books Michigan
has the best marriage laws of the
entire world-but these laws are
practically a dead letter."
Further on, DR.. Hale quotes from
these laws to the effect that no
one may marry in this state with
any mental diseaes, or with a
specific disease and thai eaan
are obliged by the laws of the
state to make a statement as to
whether or not he is afflicted with
such disease. If a false statement
is made, such person is liable to
a fine of from $500 to $1,000, or
to imprisonment for five years, or
both.

ACCIDENT BOARD SAYS STATE
MUST PAY COMPENSATION

Lansing-The state industrial ac-
cident board passed upon two i'm
portant decisions recently. In
one case the board decided that
the state can have no casual en-
ployes and must therefore pay
compensation to any man injured
in its service, no matter how short
his period of employment may be.
The case rested upon an injury
sustained by a workman who was
repairing the roof of a Michigan
Agricultural college building, and
who fell while so employed. The
state contested the decision of
the arbitration committee and the
board then sustained the ruling.
In the second case the board
ruled against manufacturing
company which sought to remove
the hearing to a distant city in
order to hear testimony of witness
ses who lived there. It was ruled
that all hearings must be con-
Quoted in the city where the acct
dent occurred, as that is usually
the home of the injured mans de-
pendents, and they are put to lit
tie or no expense to attend the
sessions. To allow cases to be
shifted at the request of the de-
PENDANTS, the board decided, would
defeat the aim of the law, which
is to make it possible for de-
pendents to carry on their case
at little expense.

the more brilliant the color the

of $4,000. Two years later, $4,000
more was expended in tne con-
struction of bridges over the
Rouge, Huron, Shiawassee and
Cedar rivers. This road was also
100 feet in width and before Mich
igan was admitted as a state it
was built as far as the present site
of NORTH Lansing.
In 1916 the government APPROX
ed an act authorizing the use OF
certain nonresident taxes for i'm
proving the Grand river road, be-
tween novel; and Justus Giikey's
home in Ingham county. The ses-
sion laws of that day show that
a road tnrougn the county seae
of Ingham county was authorized
in Feb, 1887, and the next month
two others through the same place
were ordered, while in 1889 road
running east and west through
Leslie and one soutn from the
Clinton county line through Ian
sing to Mason was ordered bull >.
In 1848 roads from four different
direc tons were built into Lansing,
and the same year there were 3,OVO
acres of state land set aside lor
the improvement of sta.e road
running from Dexter to Mason by
way OF Stockbridge. Lansing was
connected with Bay City by a
good road in 1861, and TIA. year,
1920 acres were appropriated
for the improvement of the N
gnam and Clinton road. In those
days timber was plenty and plank
roads became very popular. IN
1s4S a company was organized to
build a plank road from bIiC "a -,
as Lansing was then called, to
Mason. L nis tailed to md. erial-
ize, and not until eight compan-
les had been organized and incor-
porated was a road of that kind
built. Many old residents remem-
Der the Detroie and Howell piank
road, which was built in 1850.
This road had seven toll gates
and was first opened for business
in 1852. Plank roads were not as
satisfactory as il was hoped they
would be, as in that day the ma
terial for them lay right at hand
and was inexpensive, aud this
particular road became graveled
turnpike in 1870. An act of G
legislature was necessary to en-
able the company to abandon the
plank system, though the char
ters permi ting them to take toll
continued in force until 1905 for
the Detroit and Howell road and
until 1910 for the\ Lansing and
Howell road.
