and the Great
Borderland Route

The Ell Paso (TeEas) Morning
Times of April 7th contains a two-col-
umn notice of a meeting to be held
there at which two governors will be
present and at which our G. H. Lester
is advertised to be the. principal speak
er. This meeting vas called to boom
the great borderland route to the
coast. From the write-up we clip the
following which will be of interest to
our readers as showing to what a
large extent the good roads move
ment is progressing:
The principal address will be made
by C. H. Lester, of Watertown, S. p,
known throughout the west as the
daddy of the Borderland Route. Mr..
Lester, who is now temporarily resid-
ing on a ranch which he owns near
isDeming, has been over the Border
LAND more times than any other man,
and he now is pioneering the move
ment to sign the entire route from
Chicago to Los Angeles with uniform
signs, Other good roads advocates
and Borderland boosters will follow
with talks and an attempt will be
made to have the two governors reach
an understanding regarding the work
the two states will do to put the road
in shape and keep it in condition.
II Mr.. Lester believes the Borderland
route will be in fine shape for auto
mobilists by the time Of the San Fran;
cisco exposition in 1915. He has re,
Gently returned from California over

any of it bad, although much of At can
profit by improvement. By l9l5ahe
believes that Arizona, New Mexico
and California will have done SO much
work upon the road that It Will be

but the Mammoth wash and u 9th,

The load needs signing along the

pie are willing to assist in the work
and Mr.. Lester talked with the PEG
PIE Of Yuma and Florence on the way
back and they said they were anxious
to have the road signed as soon as {

MEASURING SPEED or LIGHT
Scientists Can Tell With Absolute Ac
euracy just How Fast the Rays
Can Travel.

Even in this speed-mad age we can
never hope to equal the speed Of light,
which the scientists tell us is 1876, 900
miles second If light could not
actually be measured no one would
believe It.
There is a delicate instrument used
in measuring light which throws q
beam of light upon a revolving disk.
There was some doubt about the fig
ures obtained in this way until it was
found that when the earth was in
the part of Its orbit nearest to Jupiter
eclipses took place 16 minutes earlier
than when it was in the furthermost
part, whereas by all rules Of astrono-
my they should have taken place at
the same minute each time. 1t is de.
duced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took 16 minutes to traverse the diame-
ter of the earth's orbit, distance Of
about 200,0OO,0O0 miles, thus giving to
light velocity of 10000 miles a sec
ond, which was accurately shown lat
er by other experiments.

AS SEEN BY NATURE LOVER
Frost and Drought Very Much Alike
IN Their Effects Upon Good
Old Mother Earth.

Frost and drought are not unlike IN
their results. or at least their effects,
A winter meadow, bare of snow but
frozen hard, is not very dissimiIar to
the same meadow during a dry spell
after haying Color is gone, growth
is short, stones show like land turtles,
the soil is impenetrable, the wheel Of
nature is on dead point. Only the
hedgerows, in either case, retain some
life and color.
You look at the foothoIe pits In the
ground. made when you rode that way
last fall or spring. as the case may
be, and wonder that the ground would
ever have been soft enough to receive
such impressions, while that pools Of
water could ever have stood upon it
seems impossible. The earth. like the
face of a frightened cowboy, is pale
to the obliteration Of its natural tan:
and, again like the cowboy, this only
departs when he draws rein at home.
Then it is good to see, even in win
ter, how the tints hasten back, and
brown skin and stubby beard assume
their natural hues; for even in win
ter there is color, whenever a spell
of mild moisture comes.-From "A
Farmers Notebook" by E. d. Phelps.

There are restaurants downtown
where thousands of men are put on
their honor every week. They go into
these luncheon rooms, select the food
they wish, eat 1t and when they pass
out, pay the cashier whatever they
want to.
DO these men cheat?" asked the
proprietors OF two such places.

THEY RESENT THE STATEMENT

The Bankers say they are accus

The fact is that the Bankers were the

FIXED DATE FOR
EASTER IS
PLANNED
BIG TRADE CONGRESS IN PARIS
WILL ENDEAvoR TO EFFECT
A CHANGE

Brussels, March 25.-A proposal to
have the world adopt fixed date for
Easter will be discussed and acted
upon at the biennial meeting Of the
international Congress of Chambers
OF Commerce which is to meet in Pa
ris next June Such is the announce
ment made by the permanent com
mittee Of the congress, which met in
Brussels today to approve the pro
gram prepared for the Paris meeting.
The fact that the variable date for
Easter causes much embarrassment
and loss in certain lines of trade is
responsible for the movement to have
the festival celebrated on fixed date
1t is suggested by the supporters Of
the movement that the fixed date
could be brought about by regulating
Easter by the sun instead Of the
moon.
The program prepared for the meet
ing Of the congress shows that num-
erous other important subjects will
be brought up for consideration. Pos
tai money orders and checks, bills of
lading for steam navigation, insur-
ance policies in international traffic,
dock warrants, arbitral procedure, and
the utility of the proposed interna-
tional action regarding unfair compe-
tition are among the questions that
will receive attention.
A possible source of discussion re-
lative to competition may be the oper-
ations Of great combinations such as
the Standard and Russian oil com
panies, the German syndicate which
controls the trade in potash and other
concerns whose field includes the
world. The British system Of marine
insurance, evolved by centuries Of ex-
perience, will be closely examined for
models to improve the phraseology.
of policies.
The program as prepared by the
committee indicates that American
thought and practice have largely in
nuenced conditions under which trade
and commerce may consider plans for
broadening the service rendered by
both and making them better under
stood. The need Of uniformity, or at
least better understanding, is illus
trated by the fact that under article
16 Of The Hague convention the death
of maker of a check has no influ-
ence upon the validity of the check,
whereas according to English law the
check become void on the death of
the signer
One object of the coming meeting
will be to constitute the congress an
active influence between the biennial
meetings. The plans In this direction
will be framed along the lines of the
work accomplished by the Cahmber
of Commerce of the United States,
which is able to back up its resolu-
tons with a permanent organization.
1t is expected that the commerce
and trade bodies Of America will take
an important part in the sessions in
Paris. The international congress and
its work are well understood in the
United States, since the last meeting
of the organization was held in Bos-
ton in 1912. It is expected that the
coming meeting will be attended by
