young and old, should begin now
to make their arrangements for
attending the shor tcourse, which
will prove of inestimable value
to all W h o attend Farmers
wives and daughters also will
find much in this course to in
terest and instruct.
instruction will be given by

soils, crops and fertilizers. corn
and grain judging and testing;

and management. dairying and

Roads Must
Be Cared For

lleves in good roads, as everybody
knows. Nobody needs good roads
more than the farmer and his
family. Good roads increase
profits and enrich social life.
Poor roads cost more than good
ones.
At the same time, we have
reached the conclusion that it is
our patriotic duty to advise our
readers to vote against road bonds
or road taxes whenever the plans
for building the roads do not in
clude proper provision for main
tanning them after they are built.
1t is just as foolish to spend
money to build a road, without
at the same time providing for
funds to keep it up, as it would
be to spend money to get horse
without providing feed for him
after he is bought. The South
has wasted millions and millions
by building roads without keep
ing them up, and it is high time
to stop wasting the peoples tax
money in this fashion. emust
aim not merely to etgood roads
but to keep good roads.
Another important matter is
that of having all road expendi-
lures made under expert super
visions. Secretary of Agriculture
Houston says: THE Nation to-
day is spending annually the
equivalent of more than 5000, 00O,-
600 for roads. Much of this is
directed by local supervisors and
it is estimated by experts that of
the amount so directed anywhere
from 30 to 40 per cent is, relative
ly speaking, wasted or misdirect-
ed" Every state should have a
state highway commission, and
the people should not vote money
for any expensive scheme of
county road improvement until it
has been approved by experts.
The third matter we wish to
emphasize is the Importance of
the road drag. AS we have said
before, the drag is undoubtedly
the cheapest good roads maker
ever invented, and if some COM
mercial company had patented it
and sold it at five times it's cost,
every county in the South would
be using it. 1t is so simple and
cheap that people will not realize
what a wonder-worker it is. The
time to prevent next winters
bad roads is now, and the way to
prevent them is to make plans to
have the roads dragged. Every
farmer interested ought to see
his county road authorities and
demand action. Send to the
United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
for a free copy of Farmers
Bulletin 597, The Road Drag
and How to Use IT,, and keep
Fostering your fellow-citizens
until your county gets the drag
ging habit.
l. Road building is too ex-
pensive a business for you to
entrust it to men without expert |
knowledge. Demand that your
state highway commission ap-
prove your county's projects.
2. The cheapest way to keep
dirt roads in good condition is
by the use of the drag. Demand
that your county commissioners
make plans for using it to i'm
prove the roads you already have
instead of spending all the road
money building new roads.
3. There is no such thing as a
permanent road", hence no plan
'or road building should be ap-
proved unless it includes provision
or keeping up the roads after
hey are built. The Progressive

NO DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE OVER
Loss OF THE ARMENIAN
GERMANY CANNOT BE HELD AC-
EQUITABLE FOR THE DEATH
OF AMERICANS ON TORPE-
DOED SHIP.
Especial to The Progressive. J


WASHINGTON. July LA late
dispatch from Ambassador Page to
the State Department announces that
the British Admiralty has informed
him that he steamship Armenian was
engaged in Admirably business.
This announcement practically set
ties all possibility of rupture between
the United States and Germany over
the sinking of the British steamship
by German submarine and the con-
sequent deaths of score or more of
American citizens, in that it places the
Armenian in the Transport class and
as such she was war vessel of the
British navy upon which neutrals can
only travel upon their own response
bility.
Mr.. III. Benton, survivor of the
Armenian in describing the sinking OF
this ship, said that the German sub
marine fired many shots at the Ar.
menian before launching the torpedo
which sent it to the bottom. The cap.
tain of the Armenian, he said, ordered
the ship to take zigzag course as
soon as the submarine was sighted
But the German underseaboat was too
fast and was well able TO keep in place
Mr.. Benton described this submarine
as fully three hundred feet long anC
capable of making high rate Of
speed.

MAJOR REED DEAD.
RuCKHANNON. .Illly

BUCKHANNON, July L.
Maj. Milton J. Reed, father of
Secretary of State Stuart F.
Reed, died Sunday at his home
in Buckhanon from heart trou-
bile, with which he had been af-
f1icted for many years. His
death, though expected at any
time, came as a shock to Secre-
tary Reed, who had been with
his father not "a hours before
he died.
Major Reed was one of the
earliest champions of the free
school system in West Virginia,
and a quarter of a century ago
the best buildings and most pro-
gressive schools in the State were
those in the district where his
influence was exerted. He lived
on farm near Buckhannon and
was engaged extensively in stock
raising for a number of years
until his retirement from active
business a few years ago. Major
Reed is survived by one son, Sec
rotary Reed, and two daughters,
Mrs. Edward NJ. Jackson of
Buckhannon, and Mrs. Charles
C. Wentz, of Texas. The funer-
al party left theresidence of Mrs.
jackson, at Buckhannon, this
morning, and interment was
made at Ebenezer, Barbour
County, where the family had
lived for many years. May
Reed leaves a host Of friends in
Upshnr and Barbour counties as
well as different sections of the

Wife of Negro
Claims She
is White

SAN FRANCISCO July Eff
forts Of Mrs. William N. Lytle, wife
Of negro dentist, to obtain an an
nulment Of marriage on the ground
that scientific blood test proves her
to be pure white, have stirred up a
warm discussion among physicians
and chemists here.
Professor Frederick r. Gay, Of the
University Of California holds that
there is no blood test which will de-
termine whether person has trace
of Ethiopian blood.
"All human blood, regardless Of race
responds to the same reactions" de-
clared DR.. Gay 81 proved this by a
series of experiments at Harvard II
any man claims he can tell by blood
test the difference between a black
man and white, he is either taking
it, or he has discovered process that
will make him famous. We have moi
got far enough along to tell that diff
erence between them yet.
"But we are to tell the difference be-
tween human blood and animal blood
This is done by Illuminating rabbit
against human blood and then testing
the sample with the immunized blood
several days later. II the rabbits
blood coagulates the sample it is hui
man blood. This test is frequently us
ed in the criminal courts.
"The only safe manner Of telling
whites from blacks is by comparing
the color under the fngernails. This
is the only method known to science
Mrs Lytle declared, however, that
her physician has clearly established
her race BIZ means Of a scientific blood
test, so it seems probable that there
will be clash of scientists when the
case gets to court.
Mrs. Lytle, who signs her com
plant Margaret Buckner, says she
married Dr. Lyle when under the inn
preston that shehad negro blood in her
veins. Taken from convent by a
negro Nanny" she says she was
raised firm in the belief that she was
part negro. After her marriage
white friends ridiculed the claim thai
she was colored, and the blood test
followed.
