ment road would be more profitable 10
the long run. The ground where the
gravel road Is being built Is Of a dit
ferent character and therefore q avel
road would stand the travel better than
a cement road.
When the road Ia eventually COM
pleted II will enable the motorist to
make the run from Washington 10
about two and half or three hours.
After breakfast Sunday morning the
writer and another amateur fisherman
feom the National Capital secured
motor boat and enjoyed a ride In the
waters in that vicinity. When out in
the middle Of Wicomico river we drop
ped our fishing lines overheard, and
within the space Of an hour and half
pulled in sixty white perch. This yrs
enough evidence that Rock Point is an
excellent fishing ground, judging from
the manner in which we found the fish
biting and the string which we landed
On shore. Thus the reputation Of Rock
Point was saved on this occasion.
At 2 O'Clock that afternoon we head
ed for Washington arriving home in
less than four hours time, including all
stops en- route. We went scouting over
new road about a mile north Of New
burg which brought us into Popes
Creek. From this place we continued
our journey northward, entering the
road over which we made the run the
preceding evening at Lothair. The
remainder Of the trip was over the same
route. The trip was not marred by
an accident Of any kind. while mechani-
cal and tire trouble was entirely absent.
Considering the road conditions the
time made on the return trip was
very good. We drove slowly, and had
we made any attempt at speed we pro-
badly could have negoticted the fifty
FIVE miles in about three hours time,
but to have accomplished this we
would have been inviting trouble to the
machine.

Work has about finished on the

commence work on the ROAD from

already have
There is not on,y great delight

tlood roads do more than anything
else to build up any county or com
munity. AS we stated last week
good roads were responsible for the
visit to the capital Of our county e
the President of the United States.
Land values are increased, they
have tende ICY to make the people
more industrious and thrifty and in
fact help the upbuilding OF a county
in many ways. We have, as said
many times before, great opportuni-
ties in this county if the people will
but grasp and make something out
Of them. There is more opportunity
of Mt only making living on the
farm today but MAXIM it pay t5en
ever before. We are within
easy reach of the Washing
ton markets and have govd road
overwhich to travel to get to the
market than ever before, which
should be an incentive to our farmers
to engage in truck farming.
Good roads open the way for
greater advantages to our county 10
every way as well as being a most
excellent means of bringing Others
here and should be given every en-
courageInent and we believe the,
will.
The County Commissioners have
this year increased the appropriation
for road work in the county. With
the proper management this money
can be used to a great advantage and
many miles Of good solid county
roads built. The money should be
used to the greatest advantage with
out Partially or favoritism to any
person or section but for the general
lood Of the county and to benefit the
most people.
Let the good road work already
begun and now being carried on by
the State go on and be encouraged
and let our county road people fol-
low the example Of the Sta to iipush-
ing ahead, their work, building as
many miles of road as possible at the
lowest cost. Let the people say
with sincerity and a solid backing
@Good Roads we want and will have
all over the county"

The Little Theatre Company.


Much has been written regarding
the purposes and reason for being Of
this now famous company. There has
developed within recent years in such
dramatic centers as Berlin, London,
New York, Boston and Chicago a de-
sire for the best of drama which can
be presented in the most artistic man
ner, unhampered by conlmercialism,
and which would bring to the people
the best there is clothed, with an at
mosphere of high ideals and unity of
purpose. The desire for financial sue
cess. it is charged, has caused mana
gers to abandon the better class al
dramas and other artistic productions
and 1t was though by some that dra-
matte art was retrogressing instead
of progressing. It is to combat the
tendencies of the times that these
companies have been formed and now
thanks to many of it's wealthiest citi-
zens Chicago has company of its
own. How well the purposes are car
ried out and the ideals realized Is
seen by the splendid criticisms tina,
have been called forth by their pres
ertations. Keokuk is to have this
unique company on Monday, March
