ROAD VIEW.

Commissioners Ross and Whit
csmb, accompanied by few who
are interested in getting a road
through north to the neighborhood
Of Lovej0y, went over the proposed
road last Friday and found a much
shorter line than the one now trav-
eled by the people Of that country,
and could be made into q very
good road and one that would be
in shape to haul over in wet weather
which is something the people of
that section OF the country have not
at the present time. The proposed
road would 80 north from town in,
as straight line as practical to Alex
Elliott's ranch, and on north from
there to what is known as the Car
land coulee, and thence across the
Zig Cottonwood at the LaRock
ranch. This would save the people
OF. the country it taps a haul of
from ten to twelve miles on the
round trip from Malta. The only
difficulty in getting this road would
be the two or three hills, one at Mr..
Elliott's, one on the Garland cou-
lee, which is not bad, and the one
on Big Cottonwood. The commits
sloners were favorablv impressed
with the route. 1t is understood the
farmers along the proposed road
have promised to do the work nee
essary in getting the road i'll pass
able condition if the county would
put the streams in the same condi-
ton.
Now is the time for the commits
S;NnnrG Of the rOnntV t0 get
busy and get the road they want.
In few years the old trails will be
fenced, as the people living along
the trails pay little or no attention
tc the law passed at the last session
Of the legislature, which reads as
follows:
Section 3.-"A1l bridges, roads,
lands, streets, alleys, courts, places
and bridges laid out or erected by
the public or now Travelled or used
by others. dedicated or abandoned
to public, or made such by the Pc
ttion of real property, are public
Il gh ways"
At the present time the roads may
be secured for the surveying of
them, but If it is let drag along
in few years a road will cost sew
cral times what a dozen may be Sc
cured for now. We would like to
sec new roads laid out all over the
commenced now, or at an early date,
! but so the. county might have them
! when wanted and at prices that
would be a saving, a big saving to
! the taxpayers.

The automobile is rcvolutionizing

On one occasion saw Il farmer

which he did II showed the value OF
his familiarity with country roads and
the potentlalities OF wheeled vehicles
He drove with fearless ease where no.
body else had thought II possible to go.
Tho chcapening OF automobiles is
making travellers OF the farmers. II is
opening their eyes TO the charms OF
their country. II Is vastly widening
their horizon, both as social beings
and as citizens OF great state. Their
circles OF personal acquaintance are
Immensely expanded.

beyond that was foreign to their neigh

He had to start at daybreak and was

But the automobile Is fast changing

away and get home for supper. He. or
his son or daughter, can run 10 a mar

The automobile has at least quad

citizens and happier social Beings

achievements OF automobile machines
and engines In Tightening the burdens

ductive capacity OF the land. II can he
said that the mere substitution of tho
auto-car for the horse-drawn carriage
has brought the greatest stimulus to
farm life that il has ever experienced.

There Is another way in which the

conditions. 1t Ia the greatest force
now in operation for the Improvement
OF American cooking. There was a
time. not long ago, when the meals
served In the ordinary American coun-
try hotels or taverns were abominable
beyond description. They are not by
any means what they should be yet
but they arc improving. and il is the
automobile that has brought about
such Improvement as there is
Good cooking is not a difficult Sci
cnce. But, like al! science, IL Is based
upon criticism. The art Of making
food palatablc and diEestible can Inc
acquired by an entire people. The
proof OF that statement may be found
in France. The French are not an
cxtrava giant people. but arc notably
spar!ng IN all that they do. Their
good cooking is not tho result OF en-
ploying great variety OF costly spices
and condiments. y little salt and pep

II you MAKE an automobile trip
through France YOU will find In the
humblcst village hosiery a better meal
than YOU can get in our most pre-
tcntious hotels.
II did not need the automobile TO
develop good cooking there but /, has
needed that influence here, and for
tunately the effect is promising There
is hope that before long the eternal
choice between fried beefsteak and
cGEs-on-toast will no longer mark the
limits OF supper at an American coun.

The Unhyphenated Queen

Through all the Balkan tangle runs
the statement that this King or that
Queen Will do SO and so because Ger
man blood flows in his or her veins"
We find in the Balkans as we have
found In America men and women put
tirg the tie OF the country OF their
blood above that OF the country Of
their adoption.
In the Balkans the betrayal Is worse
than 1t is here, because to Kings and
Queens are intrusted not merely citi-
zenship but control OF their adopted
countries.
Yet amidst all these sovereigns who
are considering Hohenzollern relation
ships above the interests OF their own
countries there stands out one SPLEEN
did and contrasting e1ample-Eliza-
BETH Queen of the Bclgians.
Born OF the kingly house OF Bavaria.
Elizabeth became Queen of Belgium not
In mere name but in soul md heart.
She put aside all other countries. cleav-
ing only to that which she had made
her own. When the hour OF war came
she lived instantly to the choice which
she had already made.
When the country Of her birth vio-
lated It's sworn word to the country OF
her adoption, she was as true to the
right rs was that high soulcd youth,
for Belgium against Germany or any
other tie Of foreign blood or feeling.
They are standing for her to-day in the
little strip Of territory which they and
their soldiers still hold against the vio-
lators OF their soil.
SO even as we turn in disgust from
those Balkan princellngs who set their
foreign blood above their countries
honor. let US turn our eyes TO that one
German-born Queen to whom duty is
still duty and treaties are not scraps
of paper.
Let us give toast!

For National Defense

IN its general aspects with one important
1 exception, the scheme OF national defense
framed by Secretary Garrison. modified by
President Wilson and approved by Congress
man Hay, chairman OF the House Committee
on Military Affairs. will be likely 10 receive
wide Endorsement. The exception is that fea-
ture of the plan which Mr. Hay regarded as
doubtful and which is expected to create a
reserve army of 100000 men.
Broadly, il is designed to enlist 1873 900
men year and give them two months train
ing annually for three years The enlistment
period will be three years. but each soldier
Will be subject to call TO the colors for an adj
ditional three-year term. AS each quota of
$4,000 completes its service ii will be re-
placed by additional enstments so as to
keep the reserve army always at its full
strength Of 100000.
On paper it reads exceedingly we'll. but,
like Mr. Hay. we doubt its feasibility. There
are few young men of our acquaintance who
can afford to give two months OF their time
three years III succession TO the service OF
the national government. Young America ms
have professions and businesses and trades
and family responsibilities that are incon-
sistent with so much voluntary devoto. to
the public welfare. Even he who is willing
TO enlist in the regular army. as vocation or
e lark. will think twice before sacrificing for
three years one-siXth OF his annual income.
1 eTnap S we are lnlSla Ken ana the fUU,uuu can
be recruited with the the President and
Secretary Garrison seem 10 expect. but
take the liberty OF being more than little
incredulous.
There is. in fact. small difference, far
difficulty is concerned. between raising
regular army OF 900 men and a regular
army of 10000. with 100000 reserve.
One is about par with the other. and
the government authorities. coming around
to that conclusion. will turn their attention
to the National Guard.
For the other features of the plan there
can be nothing, but approval The standing
army is TO be increased the artillery is TO re-
ceive unstinted additions. and there 70 be
vast supplies Of reserve ammunition" while
the acroplane and motor transport services
are to have needed attention. The national
weakness in artillery is admitted universally.
while adequate supplies OF ammunition OF all
types are OF vital consequence to the country's
security against attack.
Parallcling the army program is another
for the upbuldinC of the navy, which involves
! continuing appropriations looking 10 the at
tainment OF q definite objective after five
years On the details, the President, Secre-
| tary Daniels and the navy general board ap-
pear TO he in substantial accord. Evidently
we shall get long-delaycd results.
