ally, touring in the old country with
their automobiles. Europe has none
of the grand sights that America
affords. But European places of in
terest are more easily reached. With
permanent highways a great deal of
this sightseeing travel will be rever-
ted to the United States. 1t means
that from 5000 to 100000 people
will annually pass through the cities
along these routes. When travel
ing in trains, when they pass
through a city, they raise the cur
tain, ask the name of the city, and
then turn back TO their magazine.
Travelling over these roads, they
will stop off in the city for while.
They will purchase something from
the merchants. 1t may only be
postcards. They may only stop to
get more gasoline, and they may on
ly stop for meals. But they stop,
and they spend some money in a
city. This means a great deal to a
city, for although the amount may
be small, it amounts to great deal
in the end. 1t means that farmers
will come to the cities more often to
purchase their supplies. They will
come to the cities for their enter
tainment, for in this day, it is not
all work on the farms, by any
means.
Good roads mean shorter distan
ces in the country. That is, the
time consumed in getting from one
place to another is shorter. This will
make better country churches. 1t
will make better schools in the
country, and this will mean better
citizens in the country
Good roads in the United States
is a bigger and better thing than the
Panama canal. 1t is better than ir-
rigation and it is better than rivers
and harbors, because everyone will
get the direct benefit of them, and
not only a comparative few.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the
famous English militant suffragist,
who came to the harbor of New
York for the purpose of lecturing
before the American people, was
barred from landing and ordered by
special board of inquiry on the
ground that she had been convicted
abroad of crimes involving moral
turpiture; but on Monday the ap-
peal taken to immigration Commis-
sioner Caminetti was decided in her
favor, after consultation with Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Wilson
Of the department of labor, and she
was allowed to land, and will be
permitted to go ION her own recog-
nizance" through the country, with
the understanding that she would
depart when she had filled her lee
ture engagements. Surely the ad-
vertising she has received will make
her tour of the country "a bowling
success"

Hog GsUwors Orgainize

AS a result Of action taken at the
meeting " stcchmen held at Wiley
Nuy. ~ an organization OF hog
growers is now undAr way. having
as its especial object the extermi-
nation of hog cholera in The coam-
munity. Dr. w. W. Yard. State
yeterinarian. who addressed the
meeting. emphasized the need OF
such an association. telling them
nov thay were organized and what
they have accomplished In other
sections. In the discussion which
followed the address. 1t was
brought out that those who were
present had lost about 1000 hogs
In the past year. Several stated
that they had gone out OF the bus
mess entirely but were anxious to
take it rup again IL the conditions
could be improved and the liability
OF loss lessened. There 10 no rea-
son why hog raising should not be
a profitable industry in Prowers
county, but cholera must be Grad
icated before 1t will be a safe
venture. There Is no question but
that 1t can be done. San Luis valley
stands as a nearby proof. Farmers
in that locality lost hogs to the
value of $4,000 within a short
time. (As a matter of interest we
note that the disease was supposed
to have been carried there by hogs
shipped from near Lamar) Less
than year ago the farmers Or
ganized an association. and en-
ployed two veterinarians. Today not
a case of cholera can be found In
the valley. At the Wiley meeting
Fred williams. C. B. Ray and p. e.
Clement were appointed by vote
to push the organization. and to
act as a press committee to bring
the subject before the farmers
thraigh the county papers. The
committee meets for business this
week. In the meantime, will each
man take a personal responsibility
and take 1t np among his neigh
bors? The writer would like to
have each hog raiser drop him
card, stating how many head he
has and what his losses have been
IL any. This information will be OF
great help to the committee in its
work. Let each one give all the
assistance he can to the enterprise.
