Thus far the office at the League

Subsequently, efforts will be made
to get the various Cabinet officers
to make similar arrangements for

:. How II Is Done.
An applicant for the special rates
signs a certificate setting forth his
intention to return home on a certain
date to register. This certificate 10
countersigned at the League head
and entities him to get the
reduced transportation not only for
himself but his family.
The same practice will be repeated
for voters desiring to return home for
the general election. No questions are
asked applicants as to their politics.
Effective to st. Louis.
The Eastern and Western trunk lines
have extended the operation of the re-
duced rate from Pittsburgh as far west
as st. Louis. The Southern Railway
will give round trim transportation as
far south as New Orleans for one-way
fare plus 81.
The Chesapeake and Ohio offers the
same for points In West Virginia and
Kentucky. II Is estimated that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 residents OF the
District will avail themselves of these
reduced rates at the time of the cleo
ton.
Officers and chairmen OF committees
OF the league will meet at headquarters
this evening to map out n series of
evening and MONDAY meetings. They
are also planning to send a delegation

A reduction In the cost Of hauling
Is one Of the most immediate benefits
of a good road. A striking instance
Of this is shown by Investigations
conducted in Virginia where the av.
erage distance from the farm to the
market is 1910 miles, and the aver.
age load for the staple crops Is about
one ton. Assuming that the wages of
q twohorse team and driver are $500
per day. 1t costs the farmer in Vir-
ginia an average Of 2S cents per ton
mile to market his crops. II the reads
were graded and improved with q sur
facing suitable for the particular road
and region, the load could be In.
creased at least SO per cent and the
round trip made In the same or less
time without any additional hardship
on the team. This would represent
q clear saving OF $1.b0 per day to each
farmer in the state for every day In
