GOOD ROADS FOLLOW FLOOD
Ohio Catastrophe Promises to Result

The truth of the old saying. It's an
ill wind that blows 10 one good" is
no less we'll demonstrated, following
the great flood that swept over Ohio
and Indiana, than it has been after
every disaster the world has seen. In
the present 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 TO come out of
the flood, though they were no less
sympathetic with its 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
Vice-President G.. W. Bennett of the
Garford company of Elyria. o. With
the work of rebuilding washed out
roads and bridges completed. Ohio
and Indiana will have some of the
best truck highways in the country.
says Mr.. Bennett. basing his state
ment on information lately received
from Garford truck dealers in all
parts of the flooded district.

Convlcts College Students.

More than fifty convicts are enrolled
at the State Agricultural college at
Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college. They are, so
far as is known, the only convict col
lege students in the United States.
Few. If any, of the convicts have ever
seen the college building, and it will
be some time before any of them can
see it, but nevertheless they are en-
rolled students doing regular work.
All the convict college students are
inmates of the United States peniten-
tiary here. They do their class work
in their cells and mail their lesson pa
pers to the college for correction.
Some of the convicts are studying ag-
riCulture. some civil engineering. 9th
ers, mechanics. and some are studying
dairying. Nearly all of the students
enrolled in the agricultural or dairy
courses are men employed on the
prison farm or in the dairy.-Leaven-

Exoneratinu the kinobird.

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 a destroyer
of bees and a foe of apiarists.
Experts now declare that it kills
only the drones and the useless bees.
and is, therefore. a boon to the bee
raiser. Besides that, it preys on many
harmful insects and protects farmers
chicken yards from depredations Of
crows and chicken hawks, which it
savagely attacks.
