Rapid Growth of the
Railwaymen's Relief Assn

Both of the members of the East Jor-
dan Division No. "a of the Railway
mems Relief Assn of America, Erie
Farmer and Rudolph Best of this city
have been elected as delegate and al
ternate respectively to the tenth
annual convention of the order to be
held at Muskegon, Mich, Oct. 3rd and
4th.
This association was founded in a
switchingmen's shanty in the North
Yards in Muskegon and for several
years its operations were limited to
employees of the Pere Marquette road.
The scope of the organization soon ex-
tended, however, and before many
years elapsed it was growing so rapidly
that it was with difficulty that the
scores of trainmen seeking member
ship in the order were Accommodated.
No part of the organizations opera
tions are for the purpose of profit in
any shape, the sole object of the
society being the general protection of
all trainmen and their advancement in
every possible way. Railway employees
are officers OF the association, which
aids in cases of sickness, accident or
death. AT the present time the men,
bership of the society totals nearly
100, 600 employees.

one of unusual interest in every parti-

times creates in them unparalleled

one of them which results in her down.

returns to his own country where
twenty years afterward he comes in
contact with a daughter of his unfor-
tunate victim. He is then a leading
character in the police department and
very closely allied to the underworld.
Many of such characters figuring
prominently in the play. There is
vein of humor running all through it
serving excellently to relieve the in
tensity of the dramatic situation. A
story like this is bound to get the at

DO WE NEED GOOD ROADS?

why Bobby, Answering the Lure of
Travel, Climbed Tree to View Distant
Lands in the Next Lot, and How He
Learned His First Lesson on the Ad-
vantages Of Travelling on Good Road.)
When Bobby climbed a tree in his
back yard to get glimpse OF foreign
lands beyond the hill, he unconsciously
answered the call of the road. He
wanted to travel; later the lure OF the
road still pulling, he sailed forth like
valiant knight of old, riding a stick
horse, made gallant dash OF many
leagues across the pasture, took mental
notes on the new land, put the lash to
his steed, and was back to the kitchen
door in time for supper, travel worn,
and hungry. He tracked up the kitchen
with his muddy boots and got spanked
and thereby learned his first lesson on
the advantages Of travelling on good
road.
Not every one OF course is interested
in Bobby and his earlier travels, but we
thought that perhaps you might be
interested, so we have used in an
illustrative way, this incident from a
little boys life-an incident which
you can match in. your own life-to lure
yoESN to reading the answer to the
question;
"Do we need good roads?"
II should be unnecessary to ask a
question like this in any community in
the United States today. We should be
D. far ahead Of that stage in community
building, that to ask that question
would at once mark our own position
far back in the ranks of citizenship.
However that may be, we must ask the
'limbered up" Our roads are the
bolts and pulleys in this machinery.

results were most surprising. Two
years after completing this road the
railroad shipped from Fredericksburg,
the county seat, during a period OF
twelve months, II, 900 tons Of products
OF the soil, hauled over the improved
highway to that town. Before the i'm
provement had been made the total
was only $4,000 tons annually-the
result Of better highway TO the rail-
road.
Results equally as startling were
shown in the quantity OF dairy pro-
ducts. In 1909 these amounted to'114,
Sl5 pounds, in 1911 they had risen to
253,02S pounds-an increase Of prac-
tically 140 per cent in two years.
Summing up the answer to our ques-
ton, portion of speech made not
long ago by Governor Ralston of
Indiana, may be quoted:
Transportation means commerce;
commerce means better under
standing between the people, the
more people trade with one another,
the more they appreciate their inter-
dependence upon one another and
interdependsnce in the end breeds
neighborhood and closer fellowship.
People living ten miles apart without
any means OF transportation connect
ing their respective communities are
strangers, though they are citizens Of
the same county, whereas, people
living twenty-five miles apart with
their respective localities by an easy
means of transportation are friends,
and by their personal contact with
one another, each gives the other an
impetus in life which minimizes self
ishness and magnifies good will
among men. And thus il is that high
ways and transportation no longer
separate farms and neighbors, they
connect them. A road is a tie that
binds and the longer the road the
more far-reaching is its binding and
brother making power"
The time has come where we must
have good roads whether we want
them or not If we do not want them
we will be left far behind in the march
of progress. The dilapitated looking
farm with good road passing it will
soon be thing of the past. Such
farms will soon be found only in the
back hills, remote from good roads.
