GOOD ROADS WOULD AID IN
STATES DEVELOPMENT.
Construction of Highways in New
Country Constitutes Problem
for Rural Settlers.

The secretary Of agriculture's plan
to anticipate future receipts from the
national forests by securing an ad-
vance of money from congress for the
construction of roads, trails, bridges
and other public works would stimu-
late agricultural development and
would relieve many struggling COM
munities from their present burdens
of taxation, says an article contrib
uted by the chief of the forest SER
vice to the department of agriculture
year book, just issued. This policy,
says the article, would apply exclu-
sively in those counties where there
is a considerable area of national for
est land so located that the forest
resources can not now be marketed,
although later they will yield a large
revenue. 1t would fully meet the To-
cal difficulties arising from the fact
that the national forests are not sub
ject to taxation, would aid in the pro-
lection and development of the forest
resources, and would remove the one
barrier which in few places pre-
vents farmers from Immediately en-
joying the benefits of the national for
ests
Millions of acres of farm land are
today undeveloped because of a lack
of good roads. In opening any new
country road building constitutes a
hard problem for the settlers. At
first, while the settler is struggling to
erect his home and farm buildings
and to clear his land, he usually can
not afford to pay high taxes or other
wise contribute toward the expense of
road building. The national forests
comprise the remotest and least set
tied regions of the country. In many
cases farming in these localities is
still pioneering under as difficult con-
ditions as have ever existed in the
United States. One of the principal
reasons for the failure to develop the
large areas of excellent agricultural
land which lie near the forests is the
lack of roads.
The government is trying to meet
this problem in two ways, first by (
public improvements being made on
the national forests, and second by (
the direct contribution to the counties (
Of share in the forest receipts. Up
to date the forest service has con- (
structed on the forests more than 4
300 miles of road, $1,000 miles of
rails, nearly 600 bridges and $4,000
niles of telephone lines. Every one
If these improvements benefit settlers
md ranchers. In addition, there is Z
appropriated annually for the use of
he counties in which the national y
orests lie 25 per cent of the gross re- Z
eipts from timber sales and other
ources, to be used for road and
chool purposes. Some of the indi-
'idual forests are bringing in over
100000 year, and the business of
he entire national forest system is 4
ncreasing so that this direct contri- .
ution to community upbuilding is
apidly growing. In fact, already r

Interest in the tent meetings of the
Adventists has shown an increase dur
ing the past few days, caused, says
Prof. Johnson, by such positive sub
jects being studied. On Sunday night
the subject, rs God Particular" was
handled from a bible standpoint. The
text, Il Am the Lord, 1 Change Not
was quoted to show that if God ever
was particular he still is, for he never
changes. A large number of illustra-
tions was used tending to show how
particular God was and, of course,
still is. Among these was the one in
/ Kings 13, where a young prophet
turned away from the direct Word of
God to the unsupported sayings of an
old prophet who, as the text says,
could not substantiate his statements
for it says the old prophet lied to him.
And because the young prophet turn
ed away from a plain thus saith the
Lord to mans word, the Lord de-
stroyed him in a striking, miraculous
manner, showing how particular He
is.
The speaker said if God could have
the law which man trans
gressed He certainly would have done
so and not have given his only son
to redeem man from death. caused by
sin, which is the transgression of the
law.
In scripture the most terrible warn
ing is given against receiving the
Mark of the Beast" So on Monday
evening the study was on that topic
and it was stated that as near a math-
demonstration as is in the |
bible showed that the beast is the pa
pacy. The question was asked and |
answered, What is its Mark?" Quot |
ing from their own works the speak
er showed that they claim to have
the keeping of the first
lay of the week as a christian insti-
tuition, and If they can do, certainly
hey have power to appoint other in
ititutions.
The subject this evening is "will
America Become Catholic?" Quota
ions from catholic, as well as other
works, will be used to show the pres
mt trend and what it means to all, Il
10Th catholic and protestant.

In his element at last, Macklin sets

The next man of importance on the

far ahead OF that of any other pitcher
in the National league. He has been
a prime factor in keeping the team on
top. During the recent Philadelphia.

speaking OF Alexander, said:
There's one player in our league
who could win the pennant for any OF
the seven teams who are cut Of first
place. He is Grover Cleveland Alex
ander 1t is the first time since have
been in the league that one player
stands out in front of all of his rivals.
1t would not be proper for me to give
my opinion on the race or to pick my
favorite for the pennant, but I'll say
this: II Alexander had been with the
Cardinals since the start of the season
st. Louis would have won the pennant
Huggins lacked just such pitcher.
When a team has pitcher like Alex

the Phils slip several times this
summer; Alexander would go to the

Quakers would be back on their stride.
