lacking The Com
munity Sore Spot.

Over near Trenton, South Caro-
lima, among one of the main mar
ket highways, there used to be
long stretch Of deep sand that was
the terror of travellers. Automo-
bilists went miles out of their way
to avoid it, farmers hauling cotton
and fertilizers grumbled nightly
at it, and here young horses took
their first lessons in baking. For
years and years the sand had re-
NAMED, a community sore spot.
Nobody did anything about it;
everybody's business is nobody's
business, and is attened to accord
ingly.
And then as one of the progress
sive farmers of the neighborhood
decided that too long had they
been paying a bad road tax for the
doubtful privilege of dragging
through that sand bed. 1t is not
recorded as to who were the COM
munity leaders in the movement,
but the upshot of it all was that
one bright morning men, mules
and wagons were on the scene, and
the job was under way.
Four big mules to big break
ing pillow tore deep through the Of
Tending sand to the subsoil be-
meath. Then from a nearby clay
hill wagon after wagon brought
dozens of loads of red, sticky clay
and dumped it along the road,
where the disk barrows cut it in
and thoroughly mixed it with the
sand. Then the road was rolled
and packed and smoothed, and TO-
instead of a stretch of road that
everybody hated there was a fine
a bit OF highway as the country
could boast. And all because q

Reader, do you get the moral o.

'operated to cause the Hopi Indianssto
abandon to aslarges extent their ancient
communal life and to move into the
valleys and to scatter, according to, the
report of General H. F. RObinson,
Superintendent of Indian Ifrigation
work. The Hopis for centuries. lived
in villages on the rnesas. Th6y are
now beginning to take up individual
plots in the valleys. ! Ir..- ytfr-

jdials have become sef-supporting to a
much larger degree than heretofore,
Their crops have increased and their
flocks Of sheep and cattle arerlarger,
General Robinson's report discloses
that more than 80 wells have been
brought in on the reservations of
Northern New Mexico, Arizona and
southern Utah.
The Navajo especially are benefited
jby the work, the report says In 1860
when this tribe was moved to the
present reservation from its former
home in the Bosque Redondo (correct)
it was comparatively few in numbers
and had but little livestock.

GuIch, Women Escape
All Injury

Three men were injured yesterday
when an automobile in which they
were travelling at o high rate of speed
turned turtle at Halawa gulch. Two
women who we're also in the machine
escaped with slight scratches on the
face and arms.
The car was travelling so rapidly that
all five of the occupants were cata-
pulled from their seats and hurled far
from the overturned vehicle. To this
is attributed the fact that none of
them was seriously injured.
William Mahiai, who was in the
front seat was the most seriously in
iured. AS be leaped from the machine
bis foot caught in the stearing wheel
and he> suffered a painful sprain of the
left ankle. He, was confined to the
emergency hospital after having his in
jured leg dressed.
Phe other injured men in the car
were David Geller who sustained a
deep cash in his right knee cap and
the severiiig 0of u tendon of his left
hand, caused by broken glass, and
Benjamin +. Brown, a sergeant in the
qlaFtermaster corps at the fort.
Brown received slight cuts on the fore

This is the first time that aeronautics
