A HINT TO HOUSEWIVES.

At recent pathological congress in

produce laziness.. Green peas produce
flirting propensities in girls who eat
them. Altogether the subject proved
an interesting one.

the present order of things. And
out of country life of that sort
will come great national changes.
When the farmers begin to think
in a body.--or even in two or
three bodies---their thought will
stir the nation to it's foundation.
This condition will be very
materially aided BY country good
roads, thus allowing easy access
from farm to farm and farm to
cities. The day 10 not far distant
when Cherokee county and the
state of Kansas will realize this

TOWN AND FARM
DEPEND ON ROADS
Interdependence Of the Two a
Matter of Great Importance

The interdependence existing
between town and country popu'
lation becomes greater and more
closely woven as the means Of
transportation between them
becomes better.
The lure of the city for farmers
sons exists where access to cities
is difficult. Good roads does
away with the isolation of the
farm from the city and makes
the trip from the farm to town
both pleasant and profitable.
Now that cities have grown 90
large and the city population 90
preponderent we are more de-
pendent upon the farmer sticking
to his Job than ever before.
When the farm conditions are
equal there is no pleasauter place
to live than in the country.
1t is a fact that the ordinary
farmers home IL not what ii
should be and the sons and
daughters want to get to the
city to avoid it. If the farm was
made readily accessible By means

of good roads the present discon'
tent among young people would
vanish and they would realize
they had the best place of resi-
dence for the country is a far
more comfortable place for home
life than the city ever can be.
With better schools, with
farmers clubs and literary clubs,
which are being organized in
many sections of the country,
conditions would be made more
agreeable and the lonesomeness
of farm life eliminated.
There are already hundreds of
county agents In the United
States receiving salaries running
from fifteen hundred to six thous-
and dollars. They are educators
and they are doing the sort of
work that eventually must be
done mainly in the rural schools.
These teachers combine education
of the ordinary sort with teach
ing the proper way of living.
They show the farmer and his
family how to get the most ont
of life. When the movement has
completed its development, city
people will begin to return to the
farm ia order that their children
may have the advantages Of the
country schools. thus reversing

From Shreveport, La, to New
Orleans, through Greenwood,
Keithville, Mansfield, Pleasure
Hill, Montgomery, Calrix, Alex
audria, Bunkie, Needville, Port
Allen and Baton Range. 1t is
interesting to read of the rapid
development of good road making
in this country. The total mile
age of wagon roads in the United
States in 1915 was ?, 1864 miles
including the improved and un'
improved roads. During 1915,
improvements we're made on
223, 224 miles in the United States.
The building of good roads
progressed slowly in the south
until about ten years ago when
the expenditures for the improve
ment of roads reached $4,000, 900
in 1907, covering 29,S53 miles of
improved roads. In 1914 the ex-
penditures for road improvement
in the southern states reached
$50, 900, 900 and the mileage
covered was 81, 100 miles.
AS long as animal power was
the principal dependence for the
movement of vehicles the distance
travelled was of necessity guaged
by the endurance of the animal
power. The distance Travelled by
the vehicle was short. For long
distance travel the railroads or
waterways were naturally pre-
ferred, because a journey could
be made in less time and with
more comfort. Theexisting roads
were connected as a matter of
course and it was entirely practi.
cal to make a journey from New
York to San Francisco by wagon,
but there was so little of this
kind of travel that it was not
thought worth while to lay out
and mark long distance routes.
The development of automobile
travel drew attention to the con.
dition of the roads as we'll as to
the necessity of making, posting,
listing and mapping them. A
very complete system of routes
between distant points has been
worked out in the last few years
to enable the automobile traveller
to find his way to any point with
little if any trouble. A general
map has been constructed. Ex-

During the month of Novembel
1915, at a convention held Al
New Orleans, the Jeffersor
Highway, 4 great National road
to run from Winnipeg, Canada,
to New Orleans, was projected
and the route laid out. On Tues
day, September Goth this year,
Galeua and Baxter Springs were
definitely assured places on this
great National road. A Cherokee
county association was immediat-
ely afterwards organized and
seven directors were elected who
are as follows: Ira C. Perkins,
Galena; G. C. Rucker, Baxter
Springs; W. S. Murdoch, Galeuai
C. G. Worthingtou, Galeua; Scott
Juuett, Baxter Springs; Don
Moore, Galena, and R. M. Gil
mon, Baxter Springs.
At a meeting of the directors
the following officers of the
county associates were elected.
Ira C. Perkins, president; G. c.
Rucker, vice president; W. S.
Murdoch, secretary and R. M.
Gilman, treasurer. Markers will
soon be placed through the terri
tory carried by these officials and
other work hastened to bring
this portion of the road in definite
form.
The importance of the fact
that Baxter Springs is on the
jefferson Highway, is of the
greatest magnitude. The road
begins at Winnipeg, Canada,
and ends at New Orleans, a dis.
lance of over three thousand
miles and passing through the
richest territory of the United
States. From Winnipeg the road
runs through a fertile region of
the Dominion of Canada into the
lake country of Minnesota to
Minneapolis and st. Paul, thence
south to Des Moines, Iowa, thence
to Kansas CITY, then to Joplin.
From Joplin the main road
runs through Galena to Baxter
Springs, the best town on the
route in Kansas. From Baxter
Springs to Denison Texas the
highway is routed through
Miami, Vineita, Pryor, Wagner,
Muskogee, Checotah, McAlester,
Atoka, Caddo, and Durant, Okla.

tending from ocean to ocean, and
each road or system of road con-
stituting a route is identified by
letter and marked in the trails
or roads. II has been said BY 4
competent authority that enough
money to build several Panama
Canals would be saved every
year in this country If We had
good roads. Accurate figuring
has demonstrated that the cost of
handling one ton one mile on 4
good hard, level road by horse
drawn wagons is eight cents.
The average cost in the Unit ed
States is % cents a mile and in
certain sections Of the country as
high as 81 cents. Every year
5000, 900, 900 tons of freight are
hauled over the roads of the
country and twice the average
land is about ten miles, til e
traffic amounts to 5000, 000, 900
miles year. At the average of
% cents a ton mile for the enter
country, the cost of handling by
wagons reaches the staggering
sum of II, 900, 900, 900 a year. If
this would cost only 8 cents 4
mile the whole country would
save seven and a half billion
dollars.
There are approximately 2, 300
900 miles of highway in the
United States. Of these not one
mile can truly be called a
National highway, while the
percentage of State highways is
relatively smAll-probably we'll
under Z per cent of the total.
1t can, therefore, be said that
90 per cent of the country roads
are under the control of counties
in local communities. With this
condition of affairs it is little
wonder that less than ten per
cent of our roads have any cum.
blance of permanent improvement
road building is entitled to the
earnest consideration of every
tax payer of Cherokee county for
it means a great deal towards
the up-building of the county and
the permanent Enhancement of
land values.

HARD WORKING SEEKERS
FOR RECREATION

Most people speak of going away
for a rest in summer, but few people
want or really get 1t. There are
of course some who have been living
lives of strain, who want simply
quiet and are sensible enough to get
it. They pick some quiet cottage or
boarding place in a remote country
town or In the woods, and absolute
ly. shut themselves off from the
world. II they are fond OF nature
and scenery, they have a glorious
time. The beauty OF Gods world and
the study Of the plants and the flow
ers afford abundant mental occupa.
ton for such.
But most of us are not built that
way. We need rest and refresh
ment, but our lives have become
habituated to intense activity. We
want to be doing things, competing
with other people and accomplishing
results. So when we ought to he
snoszing in hammocks, we tramp
through long country roads, climb
mountains, or play laborious games,
ard often acquire lame muscles that
clog our footsteps for the rest of the
outing.
We visit great barns called sum
mer hotels. When we want and need
to sleep, the roisterers are tearing
the vitals out of the piano In the par
Tor until a late hour at night. II
you complain at the Office, you art
politely informed that the matter will
be attended to. But few hotels ever
interfere with the doings of payina
guests. A hotel would rather &C
quire the reputation Of being noisy
than the name Of being without
gaiety and young life.
