Highway Development,

Enormous development of the fl
nancial side of the road movement is
shown in the fact that 1920 counties
in the United States now have out
standing highway bonds aggregating
a quarter of a billion dollars, accord
ing to the Official Good Roads Year
Book for 1918, which is to be is
sued by the American Highway Asso-
citation in Washington in March.
The fact that the counties men
toned have bonded themselves to the
extent of a quarter of a billion dol
lars in order to improve and main
tain their roads is only one of the
surprising developments of the road
movement as shown by the latest
year book. A stupendous new bust
ness is shown to have grown up in
the United States as result of the
road boom-a business employing
more than ono thousand persons in
actual supervision of the roads, in
addition to the increase in banking
business, due to handling bonds, in
creases in the road machinery and
materials and the other by-prOducts
of the boom. Not merely has there
been a tremendous saving in the wear
and tear on horses and in the pre-
yention of waste on the farm due to
the inability to get to the shipping
points over poor roads, but there
has been an actual increase in pros
perity as a result of the need for
work and materials on the construc-
ton of new roads and the improve
ment of old ones.
Highway officials in the various
states have already applied for the
latest edition of the year book, which
gives a digest of state road laws;
shows the use of convicts on the pub
lie roads; bond issues; mileage, ap-
organizations, directories of officials
manufacturers and contractors; types
of roads; full list of books, docu
ments and authorities: description OF
foreign road systems; highway engl
neering in colleges; construction o
bridges and culverts; and reviews o
all the addresses and technical ar
ticles which appeared in 1913. }
E. Pennybacker, secretary of tn
American Highway Association
whose president is Logan Vale
Page. director of the federal oftic
of public roads, is editor of the yea
book, and Charles P. Light is bus
ness manager.

The Elberton Star says that farm
ing on paper is a very profitable bus
mess, but adds that the object lesson
of one successful farmer is more far
reaching in it's influence than all the
plans and preachments of all the peo-
pie who are engaged in other pur-
suits. In other words, too many
farmers get rich while reading what
some one else says and get poor in
following their advice. It's as true
as gospel, too.

plicable and enigmatical problems in the
mental makeup of human beings. That
a run should start upon the Oldest saw

ed in 1873. is worthy OF comment chiefly
because II proves\that no fiduciary institu-
ton is beyond the reach OF the rumor
monger. But in this case the officials of
the bank seem powerless to discover even
what the rumors were. The depositors
who withdrew their savings appeared to
be 'dazed' and actually at q loss to
explain their actions. 1t Is this blind
impulse. net unlike the spirit OF the mob,
which Is unaccountable. Yet the fact
remains that the Bank OF Savings, with

Of course, but none the less a run.
Its president and vice president were

words of the officials themselves:
According to President Trimble and

Significance Of he Bible Conference.

Significance Of he Bible Conference.
The Midwinter Bible Conference, in
two days sessions of its whole weeks
work here, has proven itself one of the
most considerable of the religious
agencies whose influences have been
made to radiate from the National Cap
ital. Religious, because II would help
men and women in their daily life, nom
sectarian, because it breaches no single
creed, the Bible conference has a pur-
pose and an effect which commend il
to the people, irrespeetively of their
church Affiliations.
The Bible did not gain and has not
kept its title of The Book of Books
through chance or superstition or senti-
mentality. Aside from, if not because
of, those qualities, which, in the juds,
ment of millions of people of every
generation for thousands of years have
lifted It out of the realm of profane
literature into the heights of sacred
writings, it possesses a power over the
thoughts and acts of men that has ev-
erywhere throughout the world set its
mark. Where civilization, where the
refined intellectually OF man has done
its most and its best, there the Bible
is found to have stood out as the pri-
mary code of personal and popular
morality, and as The Word of revealed
godhood. Other books have been called
inspired" but none other has had a
relation of such intimacy, of such solid
and visible force, to the most splendid
triumphs of man in his endeavors to
bring the universal brotherhood of man
to worthiness of the universal father
hood of Cod.
Great men have been brought into
conference here on this Book of Books.
Students, teachers, preachers, mission
aries, men of large affairs, statesmen,
scientists, philosophers join in instruct
ing multitudes to a deeper understand
ing of the Book. Men and women are
turning away from their labors and
their pleasures to possess a finer knowl-
edge of the Book. Independent of
exegetical or ecclesiastical Importance, |
therefore, this conference mas a me-
morable significance. II. bears testimony
that whatever mutations of form the
enlightenment of men
may require Of religious organizations
aid ceremonies, the general indictment
Of churches for loss of influence over
the daily lives of men and women vet
lacks proof Every institution whose
fundamental teachings exert SO great
force over community as does this
Bible has power measurable only BY
its i1caleulable opportunities.
