Local Roads.

And he gave it as his opinion, Chat whatsoever should make two
blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before

country than the whole race of politicians put together" So said
Dean Swift, several hundred years ago.
If he lived in these days be would say the same thing obout the
man who dragged the road in front of his ranch, or filled a mud hole
in the road. or helped to make a good road any where. Whoever does
this does a good work and is of essential price to his community.
a hrstcass through road from North Park to Ruwlins will help
everybody in this part of the country, big and little, on the ranch or

cannot be done now, and they ought to be just in shape in the emr y

L. this be done at once.
Every word of this applies to local roads. If we speak of the
main road through the valley first, it is only because it is of mos
important to the greatest number. Every mud stretch. every bad
hill and bad road between a ranch and Saratoga is a curse to the ranch
man and to the town. 1t reduces the value of the ranch and puts The

The board Of trade is to the town what the aggressive ADVERTISE

And that Is what builds your town the adding, one by one. of peouIe

That Is the one great work of the board of trade-to CREATE

Manufacturers, dealers, business men are constantly m ta on,

In the great majority OF cases these enterprises are larpelv de-

FACTS ABOUT THE SLOVAKS
People Belonging TO West Hrauch Of
SlaV Family--Mostiy AgricuI-
turists and Woodcutters.

The SIovaks are SIavs. The Mag
vars are not. The SIovaks are a
people belonging to the west branch
of the Slav family. They are chiefly
located in northwest Hungary and
Morayia, but they are also to he
found in Lower Austria, SIavonia
and Bukowina. About three-fourths
Of them are Roman Catholics. Their
language was a dialectal form Of
Czech, and Czech was used in all
their writing until the end of the
eighteenth century, when the Slovak
dialect began to be used in writing,
The Sloyaks are principally agricul-
tuTists and woodcutters. They num-
Der about 100000. So far as is
known, the Slovaks occupied their
present territory about the fifth OF
sixth century, together with land
stretching far to the south. When
the M.agyars conquered the kingdom
of Great Moravia in 9O7, the Slovaks
were a part of hat country; the
Magyars displaced or assimilated the
southern Slovaks and have, with
brief Interruptions, ruled the rest
ever since. In 1848-49, when the
Magyars rose against Austria, the
Slovaks in turn rose against the
Magyars, but on the treaty of peace
were handed back to them. The
Magyars are a Finno-Ugrian OF
Finno-Turh people, descendants Of
the ace who, about $50. moved from
the Ural region to the Volga, and
after a long soiourn on the Russian
steppe were driven westward to OBJ
tain a permanent footing before the
close of the ninth century, in the ba-

White Horse Canyon Road.

We are glad to see that the county commissioners will advertise
for bids for a good road from Rawlins to FIT Steele.
This is good news to us, but we demand that this road be built
through the White Horse Canyon to the sign post west of Walcott
This is the worst part of the road between here and Rawling-aboui
four miles of as bad road as ever disgraced Carbon county.
There has been a good deal of talk about dividing Carbon county
and while we feel that this time has hardly come for this, we would
like to say to the people and business men of RawIins aud the com.
missiOners as well, that the bad road between here and RawIins is the
cause of much of this talk. We ask the business men of Rawlins t
come in with US and help to get this new road built through White
Horse Canyon this spring, bringing us close together and cementnl
the good will and kindly feeling that we bear toward them.

JAPAN NOW IN FIFTH PLACE
IN Population the Mikado's Empire
Takes That Position Among the
Nations OF che World.

Tine statistical bureau mas an
bounced the population Of Japan at
the end OF 1913, the figures for
Japan proper beng So 356,295, and
l5,169,923 additional for Chosen,
1866, l69 for Formosa, and 1851
for Saghahen. This makes the en-
tire population OF Japan 7I,793,OTS.
On the rough estimate Of the worlds
population at 1,44O, OOO, 900 Japan
has 81 little over 40 per cent In
population Japan proper ranks fifth
among the great countries of the
world, China coming first, Russia,
the United States of America and
Germany next in order.
The increase of population in
Japan proper is very rapid, the av-
erage in the FIVE years previous to
1913 being 1.5 per cent a year This
is a more rapid increase than in any
Of the European powers, says the
IohNo tJupan) Advertiser. The
density of population is great, COM
ing next to Belgium, the Neither
lands and England The population
in Japan Is 1884 per square mile As
to the proportion Of sexes, Japans
population is quite distinct from the
European countries. There are
1O2.14 males for every 100 females,
due to the greater death rate of
young females The proportion Of
the married and unmarried is 81 per
cent against 66 per cent and the
percentage Of the latter Is growing.
This is because Of poverty and late
marrlages.-New York Evening

NEW TINT OF COMPLEXION

peachy sort of pink with almost a

Two days later on PAvenue du

same coloring-cvery face ''rouged, -
so to speak, with the same brush, One
little Parisienne wore a close low tur-
ban of peach pink satin, quite I'M
trimmed, which exactly matched her
complexion. The effect was very odd,
and quite different from that of some
seasons ago, when the oriental idea
reigned supreme. Now, instead OF

PLANES WITH CLIPPED WINGS
French Avrators Are Compelled to
Learn Flying on "Rollers"
and "Penguins."

After l had received my prelimi-
nary instruction in the construction
OF Newport machines (fast scouting
aeroplanes of French %servIce) and
the technique Of handling them, l
was put on a machine called the
''roller" and given my first instruc-
ton IN steering.
The roller is simply a Newport
whose wings have been cut down to
such an extent that it will not rise
except for perhaps a foot OF so in a
great burst Of speed. 1t runs almost
like a motorcar. BY its use II de-
yelops the instinct for steering in a
straight line and for turning. 1t Is
really much harder to steer a roller
along the ground than to steer a real
machine in the air. The contact
with the earth is always twisting and
turning 1t III the ]craziest fashion. By
the time one has finished his course
on the roller he understands hori-
zontal steering and knows something
about the management Of his euglne.
Perpendicular steering which is
more important, Of course. comes
when he Is promoted to a penguin
This Is a complete machine, except
that the engine Is so weak as not to
permit 1t to ms more than rs or 80
feet. On ii the student aviator prac-
tices rising and descending, and es-
peclally the art of landing.
Landing is the most difficult and
the most important department of
aviation Half or three-quarters of
the accidents occur because the avia-
tor has made a bad contact.-An

Evening Post.

Pertinent to Farmers.

Every hour seems to draw this country nearer to war. No man
can assure us that We will escape, for no man knows.
The year 1917 may see us shut off from all source of supplies
from the outer world, and dependent entirely upon local production.
Facing such a possibility, it il incumbent upon every farmer to
cultivate to the limit of his acreage and ability, and the town person
who has a vacant lot should do the same.
The time TO begin is Now. If we place armies in the field those
armies must be fed-snd the products come from the farms.
