GRARDSMEN Are
READY FOR
War
KANSAS MILITIA is EQUIPPED
WITH BIG STORE OF
MUNITIONS

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 1S.-War tools
and side lines worth a half million
dollars are stored in the sub-basement
of the Kansas state house. Full
equipment for sending the Kansas
army into trouble zone is all packed,
ready for shipment, and has been
since the disturbance in Mexico
threatened to involve this govern
ment. The fact that Kansas is ready
to take to the cactus or any other for
eign brand of underground at short
notice has not been widely advertised.
Visitors at the adjutant generals de-
partment saw only a battery of roll
top desks, and a busy clerical force
armed with typewriters. A few anti
quated swords mingled with the pic
lures on the wall were the only signs
that distinguished the office from any
other state office. The visitors didn't
know that in labyrinth of runways
down under the ground level were
stored a trainload of war trinkets, all
carefully listed, from the last tin
spoon to the last army wagon.
There is no secret about the Kansas
war munitions. General Martin or
Major Rain were not hiding the col
lection from the public, but as a rule
they are too busy with the affairs of
their office to conduct sightseers
through the collection below deck.

At the recent meeting Of the
Western Iowa Editorial Associa-
ton, Editor Roy Stacy Of the
Adair News had a very inter-
esting Iaoer on good roads.
He took Harrison county as an
example, ard while saying that
this county was no worse than
any other, ne quoted statistics
to show what had been accom-
plished in 1913 in this county.
At the beginning of 1913,
Harrison county had a balance
of $13,233 ard the amount coll
lected in taxes that year was
$25, 1872. During the year, the
county built twenty-nire bridg
es and twelve culverts Twenty
of these bridges were of IA foot
roadway, while the law requires
a 16 foot roadway. Nearly all
of the bridges are planked and
set on piling, mostly word and

wears and there will be constant
repair bills.
The area drained by these
bridges is all the way from 80
to $4,000 acres, but all of the
bridges are the same size, 80
feet, some being ten or twenty
times in excess of r, quirements

50 40 In 1912 a cement bridge
was put in, under protest of the
state highway engineer.
The center hole is boiler pipe
eleven feet in diameter. 1t is
seven feet from the bottom of
the hole to the ground, which
requires at least eight feet of
wafer before the bridge to en-
able anv to pass through, ard
which would cause a green,
stagnant and unhea'thful place
in hot weather. The water,
however, has worked its way
under the cement work and
will ruin the bridge in q short
time. This bridge is about one
mile north of Missouri Valley
and not on a main travelled road
It's cost was obviously very ex-
cessive for the value obtained.

whole matter to the serious

association Wasn't there a

gineering service in Harrison
