BAD ROADS ExTRAvAoANT. I

The Hon. Champ Clark says:
Il saw 1t stated once that the
energy, material, animal life and
time wasted In this country by
reason Of bad roads amount to
the enormous sum of $400. .000,-
600 annually. This is astound-
ing and may be exaggeration.
but 1t is known that the waste is
enormous. This state of affairs
is so easily bettered that 1t is
idiotic, If not criminal. to let 1t
continue. Twenty odd years ago
| advocated building by convict
labor four great roads across
Missouri. was twenty years
ahead of my time, but ! rejoice
that what | suggested then, and
even much more, is In contem-
plation and near fruition."

WHY WEAK LUNGS?

The toll! of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the

invites consumption.

In the Training Camps.

In the calendar of sports, March is
the month when the ball players WORK
out the creaks in their joints and
strech their muscles in the training
camps. To the star ball players, IT IS
very far from being sport.
To many young and ambitious ball
players this is crisis time. In some
bush" or school league, they made
showing so brilliant that they have
found the chance to try out in fast
company. More and more the big
league management seem disposed to
give young players try even when
they are only crudely developed.
But few weeks in the stiff rule OF
the training camp reveals defects that
are easily CLOSED over in the looser
discipline of semi-professional or ANA
teur work. Many supposed future
Mathewsons and McGraws will soon
be anxiously looking for chance to
enter the home town by the back door.

early settlement Of the town are
hard to locate. In the busy life of
the present. Fruita's Oldest inhabit-
ants have nearly let the past slip
from their memories; that is. the
exact dates of certain interesting
events. The history OF the develop
ment OF this country is interesting
and a record should have been kept
of the town through the varied
course OF It's existence.
A. ]. Dittinger is helping to further

WINS AUDIENCE

The following is from the Flint,
Mich, Daily Journal concerning the
lecture delivered in that city by
David Goldstein. who will lecture
here Monday night.
When David Goldstein, former
Socialist leader. but now one Of the
leaders against the adoption of the
Socialist philosophy, stood before
l,G00 persons at Stones theater Tues
day night he faced open opposition
and an audience that was anything
but sympathetic. lie was hissed and
jeered when he started his address.
No greater tribute could be paid to
his power of argument. his logical
reasoning and his understanding of
the subject OF Socialism than the
manner in which the audience chang
ed from open opposition at the begin
ming to active support at the end.
1t is conservative to say that so per
cent of the audience was against
Goldsteln when he began. II the
cheering and applause at the end is
to be accepted as a criterion, he gain
ed the support of 40 per cent of his
hearers by his address and trans
formed half-and-half audience into
one that accepted his explanation of
Socialism with but a small percent
age dissenting from his views
