Too Proud to Beg.

Concerning the cause for which
Washington women are to open their
houses Margaret Deland has written
this:
There is one voice that is stilI-one
silent cry. 1t comes from women who
have fed from the war zones. and who
do not know hoW to ask for help be
cause, until now. they have been help
ers-Women who all their lives lave
been sheltered in homes of dignity and
luxury. luxury for which now-desti-
tute. homeless, hungry even-some of
them are paying the price of being un-
skilled in everything but the refine
ments of noble thinking and high and
silent courage.
Therefore. quietly, many of them
die and the world is poorer by the
loss of the bravery of gentle breeding.
1t is not only their. sense of fitness
which will not let such persons join
in the appeals for help which breaks
our hearts. 1t is Sidney's-'Take it;
thy necessities are greater than mine -

Tobacco Growers Meet.

At recent meeting of the Southern
Maryland Tobacco Growers Assoca-
ton in Upper Marlboro resolutions were
adopted indorsing the transfer OF the
state tobacco warehouses to the man
agcmcnt of the agricultural agencies
which are to be established by bills in
troduced in the general assembly of
Maryland. 1t is pointed out that under
the present system of control and oper-
alton of the warehouses the tobacco
growers are not receiving the benefit
to which they are entitled. The resolu-
ton declares sit is believed that the
removal of said warehouses from the
influence of politics and the placing of
the direction, management and control
of same in the hands of the agricul-
tural interests of the state, so that it
would be possible to inaugurate cam
paign of investigation and education in
the growing, handling and marketing
of said crop, would inure to the ma
terial advantage and benefit of the to-
bacco growers and the state at large.

THE PROPOSED APPROXIMATE ROUTES.
the legislature to prepare a resolution
submitting the proposition to the vot-
ers of the state at the general election
in 1916
The state commercial clubs which
Are backing the plan suggested no spe-
cial kind of material for the proposed
construction other than to ask that it
shall be of permanent nature, which
gravel and macadam are not 1t is de-
sired to build so the roads will at least
last the life of the proposed bond is
sue and to build SO the upkeep will be
comparatively nothing. This elimi-
mates macadam and gravel surfaces.
The proponents of the plan do not
presume to specify exactly where the
roads should go other than the feast
bility of any plan dictates a north and
south road bisecting the state, such as
along the third principal meridian, and
that there should be at least three lat
erals from east to west about equal
distances apart, serving the populous
| communities and centers Of trade.
Seyen-eighths of the people of the
entire state of Illinois get direct or
Immediately adjacent service by this
comparatively small gridiron plan of
connected up, through system Of per-
manent roads.

state is Immediately on or adjacent to
the direct route. and all are in easy

The total mileage in giving the state
complete initial system is estimated
at approximately 1000 miles. The ex-
| act figure would not be possible with
out the detailed routing and survey
| The air line mileage between the
points. from Wisconsin line on north
TO Ohio river on south: from Indiana
line east to Iowa and Missouri lines
on west, totals about S5S miles As
the permanent road would naturally
follow present mud roads already es-
tablished, it is estimated that the total
mileage. with the necessary curves and
detours necessary. would be close to
| 1000 miles.
The rough estimate on permanent
| roads, such as brick or concrete, for
| instance. is around $4,000 a mile.
This would bring the total estimate
| within the comparatively small sum,
state and service considered. of $1O,-
00O,G00.
1t is proposed that where counties
| already have improved their own roads
and where such roads fit in the system
| that such counties should be allotted
their proportion Of funds saved and
the state construct in other parts Of
