EARTH ROADS IN KANSAS.
Movement to Surface Them With Dur.
able Materials.

That more cities in Kansas have
paved their streets with first class ma.
terials during the last five years than
In any other state in the Union Is the
assertion of W., s. Gearhart. state
highway engineer These cities be-
gan their work." says Mr.. Gearhart.
"by paving one or two blocks in the
business districts and extending opera
tons until in many places practically
all Of the streets have been paved.
The most natural, practical and logical
development OF this system will be the
extension Of these paved highways out
into the country. Indeed, many coun.
ties are making definite plans for such
radiatipg system Of roads.
During the last five years Kansas
has built and has been maintaining the
finest system Of earth roads In the
world. but about ten months ago the
bottom dropped out and the most
important dimension of these high.
ways has been their depth. The
weather conditions i'm 1913 and 1914
were favorable for the maintenance Of
earth roads. and many Kansans began
to think that properly graded earth
roads would answer any purpose.
However. ii is now clearly evident
that II these main roads radiating from
market centers and connecting cities
are TO be maintained in the eastern
part of the state IN 3G5 day highways
1t will he necessary TO surface them
with more permanent materials than
puddled earth.
Eastern Kansas is especially adapt
ed to general farming and dairying.
and system Of first class highways
leading to the market centers is one of
the first essentials I'm the successful
carrying out Of this type Of farming.
."The kind Of road to construct in
any locality depends essentially upon
two things-namely. the kind Of sur
facing material available in that com.
munity and the kind and amount of
traffic for which the road is being
built.
Choosing the type of road for a To-
cality should be done by an expert en-
gineer. while the construction of the
road should be placed under the super
vision Of corps Of expert engineers
who have been given the power to get
results"

Odd Fellows Memorial Exercises.

Impressive services at the First
Methodist Episcopal church and al
Oak Hill cemetery marked the OBJ.
servance of memorial day by the /.
o. o. +. and Rebekah lodges Sunday.
The lodge members formed at their
hall and headed by the Owosso band
marched to the church, where Rev.
Hartley Cansfield delivered an elo-
quent sermon. The lodge members
then went to the cemetery, where the
usual impressive services were held.
Rev. Cansfield said in part:
"Oddfellowship has had a remark
able history and a splendid growth.
During the last eighty-six years y
has spent for the relief of its men,
bers and their families the sum OF
over one hundred and sixty millions
of dollars-nearly two million dol
lars year. Last year 1t spent over
six millions of dollars. Taking a
view of Oddfellowship throughout
the world, it has increased its MEM
bership the last twenty years one
hundred per cent. In Michigan the
increase is even larger. Twenty
years ago you had a membership Of
twenty-three thousand. Now it Is
over sixty-five thousand. 1t is now
the second largest fraternal order in
this country, having more than two
million members.
II have chosen my text because 1t
brings before us one of the two clas-
sic instances of friendship on record,
and because the story Of David and
Jonathan forms an essential part Of
your liturgical work. These two men
are regarded as the patron saints Of
Oddfellowship. And this Is not sur
prising, for the study of David and
Jonathan shows that the very prin-
ciples which are at the foundation of
your order had their practical express
sion in their lives. No more fasci-
mating story is found in the annals
friendship, 1t was love. And Jona-
than loved him as his own soul"
What was the link that. bound these
two together?
Jonathan was the kings son and
David the son of farmer, yet these
two came together on common level
for Jonathan recognized the heroic
in David. Worth makes the man,
the want of it the fellow; all else is
leather or prunnella. Not worldly
station but a recognition Of the man
whether he comes from the common
walks of life, or from the higher cir
cles so called.
"Fraternalism is far reaching in
it's influence because it strives to ex-
press in life this great principle of
human brotherhood as taught by
Christ.
This love of Jonathan was con-
slant. He loved his friend David in
the day of adversely as in the day of
prosperity. That my friends is true
friendship.
"Now if Jonathan loved David,
David also loved Jonathan. 1t is
difficult to tell which love was the
greater. David's love found practi-
cal form in caring for the son of
Jonathan after the latter's death,
THE highest form of love is seen
in the Christ For the inspiration
we must go to Him and the Bible,
Greater love hath no man than this
that man lay down his life for his
friend But God commended His
love toward us in that while we were
yet sinners Christ died for u.s.
