Governor Hatfield has issued proc
lamation designating July is and 10
as Good Roads days.
West Virginia is making progress
in the work Of self redemption. The
people are becoming alive to the
needs Of the state They have discOv-
cred that good roads offer the only So
luton to the states rural problem.
They have found that it is good econ
omy and good social and religious vir-
tue
1t is significant to note that at pres
ent there is available in West Virginia
over $0.5OOOOO good roads funds which
have accrued from bond issues This
money Is now being placed on solid
highway contracts in the various cOun-
ties. During the last two years, over
$l2,00O,O0OO worth Of road bonds have
been voted and realized upon And
the end is not yet in sight Counties
and magsteral districts are contin-
uing TO vote bonds and the total is
being swellcd every month.
The best argument in favor Of good
roads, the argument that is most po-
tcntial in shaping the ultimate success
of the good roads movement. is good
roads Wherever the people can be
induced to build the first section Of
hard road, the rest is easy. Good roads
in operation win the people.
But all the roads Of the state can

Grain Prices Boosted by War
a very brief review Of export and
import statistics will show the enor.

bringing prosperity to tho grain pro.
duccrs Of tho United States
During the ten months ended April
1913, with a Republican tariff law in
force, we imported breadstuhs,
GRAINS, flour, etc. to the value OF
Sl4O00,O0O Our exports Of these
products totaIed $lS5,OOOOOO, giving
US favorable trade balance on these
articles OF S174.OOO,O0O, During the

on this group fell to $1OSOOO 900, a

which were pouring Into the United
States from all the graln-producing

Democratic destruction Of the protec-
tive wall, were tapped and large
part Of their volume was drawn TO
Europe, while our own exports of
these articles became torrent pour

So we find that our Imports of
grains during the ten months ended
April, 1915, fell TO Sl7.l5l, 900, while
our exports reached the amazing total
Of $i97OO0,OOO. The story told by our
trade figures in grains is that the bel

considerable period in the future, for,
during the ten months ended April.

Good roads tend to unity the pop

% town and the town people to the
country more frequently.
The farmer located on u bad road
must deliver his corn, wheat and hogs
when he can get over the road, which
usually occurs when the market is
flooded with grain and meat.
Good roads in the country mean
better schools, better churches, better
neighbors, better health, better
houses to live in, easier ways to mar

which estimates that this levy will
bring in 100000, about half OF which
will go into the district school funds
The levy for this year is five cents
lower thon that Of last year, which
was the highest IN several years be-
cause of the advent Of prohibition In

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

At the moment this is written
Manager Tinker has made another
shift in the Cubs. DoOlan, Yerkes
and Mann are back on the first team
and Schultz, Zeider and Mulligan
have been placed on the seconds.
The team does not leave Tampa
until tomorrow, and as a shift has
ibeen made almost daily in the past
week, it is possible the alignment
will be changed before the club be-
/ gins the exhibition jaunt with the
! Southern league clubs.
Joe is making these switches be-
j cause his people don't show enough
pep in the practice games. Joe may
las well become Teconciled now to the
fact that his athletes probably won't
show a lot of pep in their preseason
games. He is bossing a gang that
has passed the stage when it lays
( great stress on victories before the
regular season opens. He is leading
a team of men that pay more atten-
ton to their own condition than to
a March box score, realizing that
condition when the season opens is
worth more than a couple of singles
stretched to two-base hits at the
present time.
Where the real trouble lies seems
to be in the pitching staff. The
+ grapeviners so far have shown moth
ing to warrant big league pay checks
and it is time they were doing so, for
pitchers need conditioning more than
workmen in other departments.
