BOOSTS F0R ROADS


Good roads build up towns and
cities, enhance farm values, make
farm life more desirable and make
life really worth living. They lessen
the distance from the farm to the
market and reduce the expense Of
hauling That's why l. take such an
interest In good roads," said w. w.
Watson, wholesale grocer of Salina,
who gives at least half his time to
the work of interesting people of this
section of the state in good roads
And he spends lots of money in the
work.
Considerable is being said and
written at this time about prepared
ness" continued Mr.. Watson Few
people have stopped to think that the
good roads movement is one of the
greatest toward preparedness. The
movement of troops and war equip
ment where overland trips are neces-
sary could be made much better and
easier with good roads than over
roads neglected"
Mr.. Watson is president of the Kan
sas branch of the Meridian Road AS
sociation. He was made president
when the association was organized
and has succeeded himself each year
at the annual election. The recent
motor car run across the Country with
relay cars, from Winnipeg, Canada, to
Galveston, was put on partly to in
terest people in good roads, and ac-
cording to Mr.. Watson, the run was a
SUCCESS. When storms compelled the
abandonment of the run in the Dako-
tas, it was Mr.. Watson who put on
the car to finish the run from Ches-
ter, Neb.
The Meridian Road is in perfect con-
dition from Chester to the Gulf and
Mr. Watson declares this highway is
especially favorable for military pur-
poses, as it passes by Fort Sill, Ok,
Fort Sam Houston, Tex, and is easy
of access to Fort Riley, Kas. The
road passes through six states. con-

In a Speech at ParraI the Ban

to Americans.
CALLS, US WHITE CHINESE"
Refugee Says Parrai Men May Be Hid
ing in ACCOMPLISHMENTS to
Attack Chihuahua.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 16.-Francisco
Villa referred to Americans as white
Chinese" at Parral, when he entered
the town at the head of his troops fol-
lowing its evacuation by Gen. Luis
Herrera, Mexican refugee from Par
raj declared here tonight
In a speech to the people of Parra1.
Villa said he intended to kill all Chi
nese and "white- Chinese" meaning
Americans, the refugee reported. Villa
also announced his intention to go to
Chihuahua City to capture it from the
Carranza troops.
Americans Hide in Mountains.
The Americans and other foreigners
left Parral two days before General
Herrera evacuated the town, the refu-
gee, who is considered reliable, stated.
The Americans announced before they
left that the party of foreigners,
which was in charge of Leslie Webb,
an employee of the Alvarado Mining
and Milling Company, was going to
the port of Culiacan, on the west coast
of Mexico, but the refugee doubts if
this was their real destination. He
thinks they are hiding in the noun
tains west of Parral.
Villa and SaIazar There.
Three trains arrived in Parral from
Jiminez with one thousand troops, and
another force arrived on horseback
from the direction of Pillar de Concho,
he said. Villa was in personal COM
mand of the troops, the refugee de-
clared, and added that he saw the BAN
dit leader riding through the princi-
pal plaza on horseback with Jose
Ynez Salazar, his second in command

PROBE HIGH COST OF LIVING
Hutchinson Committee Finds Some In
teresting Facts While lnvestigat-
ing Recent Boost in Prices.

A local committee which has been
probing into the cost of necessities
of life at Hutchinson reports some
rather unexpected results.
While the cost of meats has adj
vanced from 80 to 20 per cent, and il
the case of lard, 120 per cent, over
prices of two years ago, farmers have
received only Is per cent more fo-
hogs and 16 per cent less for cattle.
Beef steers were quoted at $3.50 to
$3.50 in the Kansas City market. July
l, two years ago. The same day this
year they brought $50 to 1925 in
Kansas City. and November 2, when
this report was prepared, the same
kind of steers sold for $3.50 to 1925
in Kansas City, a decrease of 16 per
cent.
While the cost of living has ad.
vanced at a high rate, the report
shows, wages of common or unskilled
labor in Hutchinson, that two years
ago were SLIGO to $3.50 per day, are
the same today, and, generally speak
ing, there has been no advance in
wages here.
A comparison of Kansas City prices
shows that in July this year whole
sale prices of beef averaged 20 per
cent more, while live cattle were
about 10 per cent higher than two
years ago; fresh pork shows an adj
vance of % per cent, lard 80 per
cent, and live hogs 20 per cent.
