COMFORT, CONVENIENCE
AND BIGGER CROPS
Result to Every Community from
the Improvement of Its
Public Roads

Washington, July 23.-That an
improved road will increase vastly
the productiveness of the area thru
which it runs has now been salts
factorily demonstrated by studies
conducted by the United States de-
partment of agriculture in Virginia.
Conditions in Spotsylvania county
we're investigated with particular
care and the results have proved
surprising. In 1909 the county
voted 100000 to improve 40 miles
of roads. Two years after the COM
pletfon of this work the railroad
took away in IL months from Fred
ericksburg, the county seat, II 900
! tons of agricultural and forest pro-
ducts hauled over the highways to
that town. Before the improvement
of the roads this total was only 40
600 tons annually; in other words,
the quantity of the county's produce
had risen more than 45 per cent.
Still more interesting, however, is
the increase shown in the quantity
of the dairy products. In 1900 these
amounted to 114,S15 pounds, in
| 1911 to 273,02S pounds, an increase
of practically 40 per cent in two
Years. In the same time shipments
of wheat has increased 50 per cent,
tobacco 81 per cent, and lumber and
other forest products As per cent.
| In addition to this increase in
quantity the cost of hauling each
ton of produce was materially reduc-
ed. In other words the farmers not
only produce but produce more
cheaply, for the cost of transporta-
ton to market is of course an i'm
portant factor II the cost of produc-
ton. From this point of view IL is
estimated that the $780, 900 spent in
improving the roads in Spotsylvania
county saved the farmers of that
county $41 900 a year.
In the past two years The traffic

BY successive victories at Lansberg

ct is probable that the Germans are
moving in two directions from Ortels
burg, directly east toward Grajewo
and southeast to Myszeniec and Chor

General Won Hindenburg was com
mander of the German corps that de-
feated the Russians at Landsberg and
| compelled them to fall back through
East Prussia. He reported to the gen
eral staff that he had won a sigma
success and Emperor William sent the
| following message:
"Your telegram gave me unspeak

deed of arm almost unique in history
which assures you and your troops i'm
mortal glory, and which will, if Goo
pleases, free the fatherland from the
enemy forever"
General van Hindenberg's feat was
the smashing of the victorious Russian
advance into East Prussia. Advanc
ing from the Visual by forced
marches, he met a superior force O.
Russians and forced them to give bat
tie at Landsberg, south of Koenigs
berry.
