SIX REASONS FOR GOOD
ROADS

In an address before the American
Road Congress, November, 1914,
Governor Harris, of Georgia, gave
the following six reasons for good
roads:
First-A good road enhances the
value of the lands adjacent to it..
This is an A B & doctrine. Viii e
the tax may be increased, the owner
is afforded means The more easily to
make the money, so that he does
not feel the burden.
Second-The facility for travel
and transportation enables the citi-
zens along the road to live with
greater ease and more convenience.
and with the automobile, and tele.
phone makes space and time of far
less consequence in the affairs Of
life.
Third-The good road lends to
promote intelligence, for it enables
the children to reach the school
house with greater convenience. so
as to secure the advantages of early
training and education. Rough
roads are sometimes a barrier Ia
knowledge.
Fourth-The good road promotes
both social and religious association
Visiting is made easier and people
of the community. or even of the
State, are made better acquainted
and see more of each other.
My cOuntrvmen, | have noticed
that the misunderstanding in com.
munities, the troubles that spring
up and beget endless sufferings
among our people, would nearly all
be prevented it the peOp'e only
knew each other better. This is 80,
North, South, East and West--it is
so locally, it is so generally. it is S,
everywhere. II the people at large
are given the facilities for traveI
and transportation they will come
together oftener; learn to know
each other better, and harmony will
reign where discord now prevails.
Fifth-The good roads will tend
to preserve the health of the com.
munity. You can provide the
remedies for sickness with greater
ease in the country. | heard a
gentleman say not long ago, that
since they had opened the turnpike
road by his house he could call a
doctor from town and get him to
the place in an emergency within Is
or 20 minutes, though he lived three
or four miles away from the place.
Sixth-Good roads increase the
population of the country. The
more good roads we have the more
people there will be to travel them.
Oh! we have room enough for any
ordinary increase in our population.
We do not object to the coming in
of good settlers. We have lands
enough to house and feed our own
people with their natural increase
for one hundred and fifty years to
come. So we can afford to divide
with others, for none of US will live
that long.
When people from a distance
come to see US; find out who we
have here, and learn that we have
the best public roads in the country,
see how easy it is to go from place
TO place--why, they'll know that we
are up.to.date and will fall in love
with our good, old honest ways. and
stay with us!

FACTS ON DISEASE
Industrial Ills to Be Inyest1-
gated by Kansas.
Attempt to Trace Source and
Then Stamp 1t Out.

Statistics on the effect of industrial
diseases in Kansas are being gathered
by the state board of health. The CO.
operation of physicians in the various
counties of the state has been asked
to this end.
Particular attention will be paid to
what are known as "occupational dis
eases and attempts will be made to
eliminate these as far as possible. At
tempts will be made to trace the
source of the disease in individual
cases and reports containing the col
or, age, sex, previous condition of
health and time employed in the in
dustry will be obtained.
The most prevalent occupational
diseases in Kansas are said to be
caused by arsenic poisoning. mercury
poisoning, natural gas, phosphorus,
wood alcohol, naphtha, biSulphide of
carbon, benzine poisoning and caisson
disease.
Similar statistics recently compiled
for contagious diseases indicate that
in the first six months of this year
there were 1892 cases. In the same
period there were 17,4S2 births, a
rate of 23.5 a thousand and 1852
deaths, a rate of 1913 a thousand. The
birth rate for the first six months of
1914 was 22.S thousand and the
death rate 10.5.

Grand Jury at st. Louis Begins
Its Investigation.
Insurance Men Accused in Gil
gantic Incendiary Plot.
EIGHT MEN NOW UNDER ARREST
Hint Given That Many Others
May Be Taken.
Police Believe Profits Have
Run Into Millions.

st. Louis, Sept. 16.-The grand jury
here today began an investigation
into the activities of an arson syndi-
cate, eight alleged members of which
already have been arrested. In the
words of the circuit attorney, there is
no telling how many more arrests
may follow"
Evidence of the writing of insur-
ance far in excess of the value of the
property, of the firing of this over
insured property by human torches"
and of the disposition of the insur-
ance money between owners of the
property, active incendiary and a
insurance men will be presented to
the jury. The men arrested are four
torches" one insurance agent, an in
Surance adjuster, the vice president of
a large insurance agency and the
president of a decorating company
whose building recently was destroyed
by fire.
While the jury investigation will be-
gin with the fire at the Gilmore-Bon-
fig Decorating company's establish
ment, police and representatives of
the insurance companies which have
suffered through the operations of the
arson gang believe the eight prisoners
under investigation may be connected
with other mysterious fires of recent
years.
The insurance companies claim they
have paid out more than $1,000,000
on fires, which bore evidence of in
cendiary origin, While the police de-
partment expresses the belief that the
profits of the arson gang have run
into several million dollars the last
five years.

MISUNDERSTANDING
War Munitions Delayed by WaIkout
of LongShOremen.

New York, Sept. 16.-Loaded
freight cars and thousands of tons of
freight accumulated today in the
yards and on the piers of the West
Shore railroad at Wehawken, N. j.
where a strike of 500 longshoremen
and freight handlers began yesterday.
Much of the freight is composed of
war munitions and intended for
transfer by lighters to steamers for
England and France awaiting cargoes
in the harbor.
Despite rumors that the strike was
a result of German PROPAGANDA
leaders of the longshoremen denied
they were influenced by foreign agita-
tors and said that they would return
to work if their demands for an in
crease of wages from 20 cents to
20 cents an hour were granted.

Washington, Sept. 16.- Material
gains in the prospects of the bumper
cereal crops are disclosed in the de-

crop estimates published today. The
department says:
General crop prospects on Septem-

forecast on September 1 being 322,7

east But. Yes, here is where the
plot becomes more entangled-
The parties arrived in Topeka late
yesterday afternoon. They were wet
and mud bedaubed and when they
searched for a dry spot on which to
camp all they found was water, water
everywhere. Much discouraged they
made one more trip through the town
in a. mad effort to find some dry place
to spend the night.
While riding in their weather beaten
cars through Elmhurst they spied a
half finished house at the corner OF
Huntoon and MulVane streets. The
tourists called c. E. Neal of the Home
Builders association over the phone
and received permission to use the
house as a haven from the storm. The
campers camped under the hospitable
shelter of a roof for the first time
since they left "oId New Yawk-"
