TWO LADS SAVE LIVES
OF THREE YOUNG WOMEN

Chicago. July 25.-The chance re-
mark Come on, let's see the boat go
out" resulted in two eighteen-year-
old boys forming a chain and rescuing
three young women as they floated
under the Clark Street Bridge in
partly wrecked pfeheat from the East
land The boys are Frank Becker and
John Stewart.
I reached the bridge just az the
Eastland was casting off. said Becker,
and then my chum. Stewart, came
up. We heard the crowd aboard and
their friends on the deck yell, Hurrah
for the Western Electric and sud
denly as thse on board rushed TO the
river side TO watch the tugs work the
big boat keeled over.
In p minute or two | noticed the
three girls clinging TO the side OF the
lifeboat floating towards us and
Stewart and | ran down the narrow
stairs leading TO the dock. Stewart
wedged his shoes into the space be-
tween two planks and held me while
| reached for the rope, which for
tunately was attached to the small
boat With the aid of policeman,
who came running up. | pulled the
three girls on to the dock.
They were nearly gone, and could
not speak. The policeman said they
would live all right, and they were
taken over 20 the steamer Roosevelt,
where doctors were stationed.
Just as we got the three girls on
shore another came floating down
stream and ! grhbed her by the hair
and we got her in. She had risen to
the surface for the second time just
whenI caught her Stewart threw IL
rope TO a fellow and girl floating
short distance off and with the as
sistance of a policeman and another
man we pulled them ashore"

ROAD {" BUILDING
GREAT BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Three-Hour Trip to Town Cut Down to Thirty Minutes by Advent of
 Gasoline Motor Car.
tBy l.. J. OLLIER)

The prosperity of a state depends largely upon good roads. They mean cheaper transportation, better living conditions, and happier homes. Quick communication ranks as the great lac tor in the universal dissemination Of knowledge Where good roads abound sectionaiism cannot exist.
 The desire for good roads leading to city that those with automobiles could have a greater pleasurable tour Ing radius first brought the matter prominently to the fore as a good roads movement with automobile back ing.
 Gradually the farmer, antagonistic at first, began to take an interest. With good roads and an automobile he could cut down the three hour trip to town to perhaps thirty minutes.
 Good roads brought the doctor quickly-at a time when minutes were precious. Good roads and an automo- bile took the family to town in the evening. something unheard of before, or to visit a friend or relative in a distant part of the county. When
 farmers learned that other farmers were doing these things. that good roads and automobiles made them pos sible, then they, too. desired good roads for their own county. | By means Of the telephone and
 quick motor truck delivery the farmer
 Is now able to top the market He
 can rush his produce to market at the | right moment to command the best
 price But he could not do it were his
 roads not well built and in good re-
 pair Consequently the farmer is now most active in the agitation for good | roads and jealous of any legislative. power delegated to Irresponsible au' | thorities
 1 While in time every road should be
 a good road, yet all the work cannot
 be done at once. Therefore the au-
 thorities who are building roads
 should see that each one is linked to
 another to make continuous highways.
 The advantage of this lies in the fact
 that the main arteries of travel will | then first receive the attention of the good roads builders. IL will also fa- : cilitate touring, in itself valuable
 asset for any community.
 1 It is interesting to note that in 1913
 Ohio had the largest mileage of i'm proved roads of any state in the Union
 with 2S,312 miles. Indiana was sec 0nd and New York third. Illinois was seventh with 5000 miles. While New York can claim the greatest progress i In road building from 1909 to 1913.

 "1 have found the object of the expedition,' she cried out. giving me no time to question her. I have just left Queen Margharita, who has al- lowed me to Know that is is to land in Tripoli.'
 This news came on me like flash of lightning. revealing all that had hitherto remained obscure in this tor tuous intrigue. The whole of Signor Crispi's little plot stood clear. By marrying the prince of Naples to the daughter of the French Pretender he would furnish the republic with a new and most powerful motive for not de- string war with Italy. and would thus place himself in a position to deal an effective counterstroke to our occu- patton of Tunis by carrying out a similar annexation in the neighboring territory of Tripoi-
