AUTOMOBILE CAUSE
OF LAND INCREASE

Railroads Praise fl.

RAILROADS. HEulSe IL.
II the automobile has, in any manner.
perplexed the railroads of the country,
in lessening their receipts from passen-
ger traffic, it has benefited them great
y in opening up hitherto undeveloped
territory, thus increasing freight traI-
fic- There are a number of ways in
which the automobile has taken away
business from public service corpora
tiOns and al the same time given them
new business.
Recently there was called to my at
tention statements made by Newman
Erb. president of the Minneapolis & St
Louis railroad. and one of the keenest
financial men in the country, said J. j.
Cole, president of the Cole Motor Car
company, Of Indianapolis.
President Erb gives the automobile
due credit for the good it has accom-
plished. He stated that $4,000, 900, 600
increased value of farm lands due di
rectly to the motor car
"A few years ago farm lands which
were located near the railroads was
worth about SIS an acre. where the
land 20 miles back could hardly be sold
for $40 an acre. With the introduction
of the automobile, however. the land
was brought within few minutes run
of the railroad Its value increased
tremendously because of this fact
Besides eliminating distance. the au-
tOmObile has worked another Iremeud-
Gus influence for good in the aEricul-
fOrerunner of good roads. It IS uni
versally acknowledged that improved
highways mean increased prosperity
for the farmer; and wherever automO-
biles are owned there will good roads
be found as soon as they can be built
MANY shortsighted people claim that
the purchase Of an automobile by a
farmer is sn extravaganza. I maintain
that ii is one of the most foresighted
economies he ever introduced. and
think the majority Of the successful
farmers of the United States viii agree
with me. The automobile is one Of
the greatest blessings that has ever
come to the farmer, and that he appre-
ciates the motor car BY using it"

PEACE DAY FOR
ALL SCHOOLS


The movement for an annual OBJ
servance Of Peace day on May IS is
international. The Hague conference
on peace and arbitration met May Is,
1899, and since that date peace has
been possible among all civilized ma
tions. Al great number of internation-
al disputes have been settled by arbi-
tration. and the building of the Tenn
pie of Peace at the Hague marks the
progress of the world movement. May
1S falls on Sunday in 1913, so that
Peace day in the schools will fall this
year on Friday, May t6.
n The object of Peace day is the edu-
cation OF grown people and growing
people as to the wisdom of peace and
the unwisdom of war. All teachers
whether, they believe war to be some
times necessary or always absurd, may
use Peace day, and may teach some of
the undisputed facts about the crime
of WARRIOR instance, it's great waste
Of money, of lives, of health. of, hap
piness, and the moral damage which
is one of its most important results.
Any exercises that condemn war and
praise peace are appropriate. IT. Is
hoped that the song about the army
and navy forever may be omitted from
the celebration. IL there are military
pictures on the school walls, they ma "
be banished. 1T lis certainly possible to
use, the flag as an emblem of our
country In its normal condition of
peace.
| Peace day is advocated by the peace
societies of the world and by many
other bodies, notably Wornen's organ
fzations. Women suffer at least as
much from the evils and misery Of
war as men, and are no less concern
ed i'm Its prevention Many woman
suffrage societies and other kinds of
Women's clubs have annual peace pro-
grammes. 81
