PERsHING, aTHE FIGHTING GENERAL

Those familiar with the record of Major General
son and his war council made mistake in their choice
of man to lead the first American troops into battle in
France.
This man who is to try conclusions with the
Germans has already had experience fighter of
ent job tougher than he has yet tackled but there
is mistaken faith that he will give good account of
himself and the men he leads against best troops
of the kaiser.
General Pershing; who is nearly 81 years DID, is
native of Missouri At one time he intended to be
lawyer and graduated in law at the University
of Nebraska but West Point from which
he graduated in 1886. He married daughter of Sen
ator Warren of Wyoming, but lost his wife and three
children in a fire at the Preside, San Francisco two
years ago.
The departments bureau of insular affairs was
organized by General Pershng after the Spanish
war and for time he was it's chief During the Russo
Japanese war he acted military attache at Toxic
and was with Kuroki's army in Manchura.
From 1906 to 1913 he in the Philippines again,
part of the time governor of Moro province. Then
he became commander of the 9Th brigade, with head
quarters at Francisco and served in that capacity
until the Mexican developments last year

FIX ROAD FOR AUTOMOBILES
Radical Change in Treatment of High
ways That Bear Brunt of Travel
Is Suggested.

The suggestion made by Francis M.
Hugo, secretary of state of New York,
that a radical change is called for in
the treatment Of the roads that bear
the main brunt of automobile travel,
must strike laymen, at least, as highly
important. He points out that only a
small part of the width Of these roads
is actually used by most of the vehi-
cles which pass over them, and "yet
when the road has to be repaired or
renewed the whole width has to be
dealt with, for mere patching in most
cases cannot be regarded as the most
practical method of maintenance" Ac-
cordingly, he proposes the use of pre-
pared tracks made of special ma
terial, continuous and smooth in char
acter, and sufficiently WIDE" which
would ''bear nearly all the traffic and
would lengthen the life of the road ten
times it's present period" New York
Times.

SHE DIED LIKE AN AMERICAN.

No beautiful tribute,-no higher praise was
ever laid upon the bier of hero than these simple
words-"He died like an American.

MONEY FOR RURAL HIGHWAYS
Run Longer Than 80 Years, Say
Agricultural Experts.

Bonds sold for county highway i'm
provement, in the opinion of road spe-
cialists of the department of agricul-
ture, should never run for more than
80 years, and retirement even earlier
is better where this can be accom-
plished without too great an increase
in the tax rate. 1t is dangerous prac-
tice to have bonds run for long pc
Rod, because in such cases the in
debtedness often outlives the estimated
life of the improvements made with
the money so raised. Money borrowed
to build roads should be repaid by
those who enjoy the benefit Of the i'm
provements thus financed, and not to
be debt upon those who gain no bene-
fit from the expenditure.

REMEMBER THE BABIES.

This is Baby Week throughout the
nation. In the cities the civic clubs
arrange special information on the
care of babies. Some attention is paid
to educating grown-ups in the care of
the little ones that are to be the work.
ers of the next generation. Some few
comments On what to do and what not
to do are provided by the American
Medical Association, as follows:
Bottle-Fed Babies.
They are much more likely to get
diarrhoea.
If they have diarrhoea it is much
more often severe.
The milk must be clean and must
be kept cold.
The bottles and rubber nipples must
be boiled daily, and kept very clean.
In very hot weather the baby needs
less food, but more drink. His milk
should therefore be diluted with boiled
water given freely between feelings.
The baby is not top or a plaything
but great responsibility-its health,
growth and happiness depend largely
upon you.
Things that are bad for the baby:
fsciieEs Soothing syrup.

May Day has dawned with the
armed hosts of France and Germany
still locked fast in the most tremen-
dous struggle OF the world war. The
eyes of the world are fixed, however,
for the time being inside the lines
where within closely guarded frontiers
of the Central Powers, the bursting
of the long brewing storm of discon-
tent is awaited with mingling of
fear and hope.
Extraordinary measures have been
taken by the rulers of the Central EN-
pires to prevent the outside world
from knowing what is transpiring
within their borders. No German
newspaper is allowed to pass into
neutral country, and for the last ten
days all persons have been forbidden
to leave Germany. News which usu-
ally comes from casual travellers has
been completely cut off and the Teu-
tonic empire is almost as isolated
from the world as was ancient Japan.

senting Hanson & Orth, New Yorl,
jobbers of hemp and fax, who called
on the board Of control today in con-
nection with the prison contracts for

"There is no immediate prospect Of
sisal's coming down." said Mr.. Espliy
today. "In fact, the probability il
that all hard fibres will 60 higher.
Sisal is now 16.5 cents +. o. b. gull
points, which means II cents laid
down in Bismarck. Probably it will
go to eighteen cents or twenty. Ex-
periments are being made with sub
stitutes without great success. Ma
nila hemp serves fairly we'll, but by
the time the fibre is brought across
the oceon it is not much cheaper than
sisal."
One year ago binder twine sold for
nine cents. The prison plant through
a foresighted purchase of fibre ma
neuvered by Chairman Lewis of the
board of control and Warden Talcott
of the penitentiary now is in posi-
tion to sell twine profitably at four
teen cents, or three cents less than
the cost of raw material delivered
here at present prices.
