WHAT ONE GOOD ROADS
 CLUB HAS DONE

The following on road improvement shows what can be done when people get interested
 "Originally the 365 Day Road Club was a combination of 120 men and ST. 200 (each member paying $5 month S60 year, for the purpose of aiding in the building of roads leading into Carthage Missouri, that could be used with safety, profit and comfort 365 days in the year.
 The second year it was a combina- ton of 140 men and $S,400
 During the third year of it's exs- tehce and the fourth year, just closed, the palpable and hidden forces brought into action on road building operations had developed enough pow CT to run on momentum so far as mem bership fees were concerned It was not necessary to collect any dues from members in 1913 and 1914.
 During the last two years when the membership of the club were pay ing no dues, more miles of road were constructed and maintained and greater constructive forces were brought to bear on the subject of road building, than in the two years when membership fees were being paid. From this experience we have deducted oned eiinite conclusion: that while the money subscribed during the first two years was a very necessary ingredient in the combination of forces employed it was neither the largest or most val uable element producing the results A suggestion of what these forces were may be gained by a study of one of the 365 Day Road Clubs cardinal doctrines, Put the people in your pro blem"
 "So strongly is this idea growing upon us that we are thinking of re- the club for 1915, each member to pay 365 dimes in money and 365 minutes in time as his con tribution to the work for the next year. Our experience teaches us we can get as good results out of this as we could get out of four times the money minus the nm utes.
 The name of the 365 Day Road Club was selected with malice aforethought so that every time it was seen or used or remembered it would silently teach the doctrine that eternal vigilence Is the price demanded for roads, as well as the price demanded for liberty Another cardinal principle of the club is "IIold what we have, get what we can. Putting this in practice fifty per cent of available road funds are put into maintenance account ana the other fifty per cent is allotted to new construction.
 "When the club was formed four years ago, the roads in this locality

Herr Won Jagow's Mistake.

Gottlieb Jagow, Germany's minister of
foreign affairs, deplores the great injury done Ger
many's cause in the eyes of the people of the
United States by the interruption OF direct cable
communication at the beginning OF the war and
Great Britains subsequent failure to give con-
sideration to proposals to restore it. He declares
that America has been misinforned about Ger
many's motives" The minister is altogether mis-
taken. The American people have been promptly
and fully informed by cable and wireless of Ger
many's acts and land, though it may be
quite true that they have interpreted the motives
for themselves, in spite OF the ceaseless and wide
spread activities of the German propagandists,
whose attempts to influence public opinion in
evidence everywhere. Germanys cause may have
been injured in the United States, but it GER
tainly not the lack of information that injured it.

There is nothing incredible about the establish

There are many spots off our coast and off the

The British navy--at least all the smaller and
faster vessels-must come out of their hiding
place and hunt the submarines all the way from
the British Channel to American waters az
course, many of them will be sunk but they will
also sink many submarines. These plungers be-
gan their activity on war vessels, but soon ahan-
doned them for merchant steamers, and il Is
fair inference that they suffered too much in at
lacking armed vessels. England will have to hunt

TT WAS noteworthy and significant
how careful a selection had been
4 made of delegates to the Congress.
No doubt the most notable group
was the group of Virginians: Colonel
Warrington: that mastery man."
Richard Henry Lee. as Mr.. John
Adams called him. as effective in Phil
adeiphia as he had been in the House
of Burgesses; Patrick Henry. whose
speech was SO singularly compounded
Of thought and fire; Edmund Pendls-
books and knew nothing but business.
and yet showed such winning grace
and convincing frankness withal in
debate; Colonel Harrison. brusque
country gentleman. without art or
subterfuge, downright and emphatic;
Mr.. Bland, alert and formidable at
sixty-four. with the steady insight
of the lifelong student: and Mr.. Pey-
ton Randolph. their official leader and
spokesman, whom the Congress chose
its president. a man full of address,
and seeming to carry privilege with
him as q right inherited.
Samuel Adams and John Adams had
come from Massachusetts,. with Mr..
Cushing and Mr.. Paine.
South Carolina had sent two mem
bers of the Stamp Act Congress Of
I7s5. MIR. Christopher Gadsden and Mr..
John Rutledge. with Mr.. Edward Rut-
ledge also. a youth of twenty-fi and
plain Mr.. Lynch. clad in homespun,
as direct and sensible and above cers-
mony as Colonel Harrison.
Connecticut's chief spokesman was
Roger Sherman, rough as a peasant
without, but in counsel very like a
statesman. and in all things a hard
headed man of affairs.
New York was represented by Mr..
John Jay, not yet thirty. but of the
quick parts of the scholar and the
principles of a man of honor.

II the cargo OF the Mnnehaha is fair sample
of what is leaving these shores at the present
time. 1t doe not look as if the war would be
over by the end OF July. Last January MANY
prophets could be found. who had straight tip
from parts unknown, that the would be over
by the end OF the summer. The late forward move
ment of the Germans into Poland would indicate
that they have few men and a few guns left
With the Minnehaha index it is quite evident
that England is not just going to stop for
want of ammunition. Russia's great power of re-
cuperation both in and arms will hold her for
season, and Jane Adams tells us that the
French will not talk OF peace With the elimna-
ton OF the submarine, there would be no doubt
that England would hold on with the same grim
determination she has always shown, and win by
Cxhausting Germany. The part the submarine has
played is not large enough as yet to justify the
prediction OF a breaking of England's record; and
at the risk of putting in another guess, it is safe
TO say the will be long enough to discourage
tourists from making arrangements to visit En-
rope year hence. In resources England is in
better state to take care of this war than it was
to take care of the Napoleonic wars Although
the war is greater, the Empire is thousand times
richer and more powerful. England has the
money and she will use it. and money will have
much to do with determining the length of the
war.

he saw me looking over one of the

he is depicted as enjoying greatly the rational
pleasures of his vacation, unvexed by the pros
pect of immediate return to Washington, and
comforted by the presence of his family. There

turns to it.-New York Sun.
