obtained with the help OF officials or
the railways shipping farm products
out o. a district before its roads
were improved and after the i'm
provement.
A specific case in Virginia may be
taken as an illustration. The figures
were collected by George =. Cole
man. state highway commissioner.
Before the roads in one OF the coun-
ties Of that state had been improved,
the largest amount OF farm and for
est products shipped out of the
county in any one year was $4,000
tons. In 1909. the amount of dairy
products shipped was lis, 200
pounds. During that year 40 miles
Of road were improved at an ex-
pense of 800, 900. In 1911, two
years after the improvement, 1900
tons of farm and forest products
and 273,OOO pounds of dairy pro-
ducts were shipped. The increase
was As and 140 percent respectively
in these two classes OF products. The
increase in wheat shipments was SO
percent, i'm tobacco 81 percent and in
luHDtI anu OlntT ldIiH pIOuuGIS 10
percent over the best records made
before the roads were improved.
This is by 20 means all of the direct
result OF having good roads for mar
keting. Careful studies of traffic in
the county were made by Commits
sioner Coleman for two years, which
showed that il cost at least 20 cents
TO haul a ton a mile on unimproved
roads and II cents a ton a mile on
improved roads. The records show
ed that the average haul Of $1,000
tons of products was eight miles.
Consequently the improvement of
the roads over which the hauling
was done saved the farmers s141.6OO

THE PARALYSIS GERM FOUND?

The paralysis epidemic in New
York is over. in other states as we'll.
Not all danger is past, however as
is indicated by an outbreak In
Princeton, y. j. But the epidemic
is over. The fight against the dis
ease must go on.
Municipal authorities who are
wise are not relaxing their efforts.
Parents must OF need keep watch of
their young. Science must not rest.
OF all the elements science may be
best depended upon TO keep up the
fight. 1t is keeping it up, in wit
ness Of which we have the highly
important announcement that DR..
Horace T. Burrows. pathOlogist at
John Hopkins hospital. Baltimore
has found the infantile paralysis
germ discovered nine years ago by
Dr.. Simon Flexner Of Rockefeller
institute.
II is stated that the germ is
found in the large intestine. This in
the place of Judgement of many vir-
ulent disease germs. If it follows,
as it would seem logically, that raw
food is a carrier. there is ground for
suspecting that milk and water are
potential spreaders Of the germ, for
babies are the principal victims and
at the ages at which the disease
takes hold more often, they live on
diet OF milk and water. At least
the theory based on the discovery Of
DR.. Burrows is worthy Of "A wider

tRiley County, Nan. Democracy
A movement TO form a Sunday
Afternoon club among owners OF
motor cars willing 70 share their
pleasure with invalids and the aged
has been started by the Rev. Clark.
Riker, pastor Of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church Of Cincinnati. In
his sermon he said:
There are so many cripples who
would be given a new lease of life
by even a short ride, so many con-
valescents and so many unfortun-
ate who have never ridden in a mo-
tor car. The club would assemble
those willing to use their machines
for this purpose. Instructions and
addresses could be left at headquar-
tiers and places at which 10 call
could be assigned"
This is simply a case of putting
ones self in the others place. II
is forgetting for once ones own
pleasure and trying to give some
one else a little happiness.
There are no doubt plenty of peo-
pie right here in Manhattan VINO
have never had the pleasure, the
luxury OF riding in an automobile.
There are those who have an in
tense longing TO see the country
with its pretty farm houses, its or
chards, its fields and woodlands,
and the streams that meander
through them.
There are old people who sit day
after day within the narrow out
look Of perhaps a shabby home.
There are sickly women ano fret
ting babies. and children who look
on longingly while their more for
tunate playmates take an auto ride
as a matter of course. Blessed
would be the man or woman who
would occasionally load car full
Of little ones and take them for a
Jolly ride.
Did you ever start out to walk
anywhere and have the offer of a
ride? The chances were either all

were passed by with thoughtless-
ness. Not always, but more often
than not Just notice how often
car or buggy has only one or two
occupants. A girl said she was
once walking through a large park
when some people in an auto stop
ped and offered her a ride. They
called three times before her as
tonished cans could believe the call
was Tor her. And TO cap the eli
max they took her TO her very door.
She has never recovered from the
shock.
A woman made up her mind TO
ask people, if she overlook them.
many she found who were really
thankful for lift. and not one
but thought it was an unusual and
kind thing 10 do.
There are thousands of oppor-
tunities for passing on the blessings
of life but not one is more accept
able than that of saving steps for
weary feet during the hot weather,
or that greater one of gathering up
the less lucky members of the hu-
man family for a ride through
town or country.

nous, ii has been found that many
of the farmers are using the mo-
tors for farming purposes.
The rural demand for merchan-
disc and material is about normal
considering the buying power Of
the farmer, but his standard of liv-
ing has advanced in pace with the
improved standards of farming.
A banker dealing in farm mort
cages points out that the supply of
mortgages is about as usual, but
that more persons want to purchase
them. The only alleged extrava-
gance that has been uncovered
against the farmer is to be found
in the sudden increase in the auto
mobile trade in the farming sec
lions, and the financiers have def
initely concluded chat the tiners of
the soil are saving more in time
than the cost of upkeep and gaSo-
line. The farmer is as thrifty as
ever. He is turning the luxuries of
the cities into the necessities of the
agricultural section.

THE RICHES OWNED
BY FARMERS

The American farmer today repre-
sents new generation of intelligent,
Independent, thrifty people with money
and inclination to be progressive. The
farm products of this year bring to
the farmers and planters probably five
billion dollars, which would prove that
they could corner the money market
of this country if they got together
and used it as one man. Strength,
strenuoSity and the future health Of
the American people depend upon our
country folks. As Il rule, country
folk are healthier than those who live
in our crowded cities. Consumption
is a disease of civilization. Life in the
open air and sunshine gives vitality
and health. Nature is the great
teacher and developer of mankind. Peo-
pie have more faith in remedy which
is taken from Nature, from the vege-
table kingdom, than from any other
source. A remedy which has enjoyed
a grand reputation for nearly half
q century is DR.. PierceS Golden
Medical Discovery, an Alternative eX-
tract taken from barks, roots with
pure glycerine, without the use OF
particle of alcohol or narcotics. This
medicine goes no the rOOC Oh ulSedSe
by initiating Natures methods of re-
storing waste of tissue and impoyer-
ishment of the blood and nervous force.
This "Medical Discovery of DR..
Pierce coaXes the digestive functions
and helps in the assimilation of food,
or rather takes from the food just the
nutriment the blood requires.
The prompt and certain action of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
in driving all harmful germs and i'm
purities from the blood, sets in motion
the repair process which works actively
on the diseased membrane where Ca

Midnight Sun.

The phenomenon known as the
midnight sun is literally the shining
of the sun at midnight, which takes
place within the arctic circle at and
near midsummer At that time the
sun skirts the horizon without dipping
below it, The further north one goes,
the greater the number of days on
which one finds the midnight sun"
visible. The cause of the phenomenon
is, briefly, the inclination of the earth's
axis to the ecliptic. For the elevation
of the pole at any given spot is equal
to the latitude of that spot; and the
suns polar distance on midsummer
day being GG12 degrees, it will follow
that in the latitude 661a degrees the
sun will barely Craze the horizon.
North of that latitude the midnight
sun is observed for some days about
midsummer time, and at the North
cape, latitude 1874 degrees, the mid
night sun is visible from May II to
July 20.
