MONR0VIA NOT UGLY CITY
Unprosperous and "shIftIess," But Still
In Many Ways a Place of Attrac-
tIon for the Tourist.

The one word that describes Monro-
via is "shiftless." Here came the for
mer negro slave In the early eighties.
backed by philanthropists who wanted
to see him given a chance In his own
country. And here is the former ne
gro slave today, idling away his life
In the tropical luxuriance of the jun
gle, which feeds him without cultiva-
ton, and watching his one big chance
fall to ruins
After all, the negro can hardly be
blamed If he fails In task that has
tried the nerves Of white men. ColOniz-
ing Liberia has not been all delight
full experience. There are still many
lions, leopards, and snakes in the
jungle, which make bodybuilding
dangerous occupation, and occasionally
the interior tribes of negroes get OBJ
streperous and eat a couple of their
civilized brethren.
Monrovia Is pitiful. but not ugly.
Over all it's shabbiness and decay grow
the scarlet hibiscus, pink oleanders
and other tropical flowers. decorating
with their brilliant blossoms the corpse
Of fife ideal.

CHURCH TO HELP GOOD ROADS
Isolation and Solitary Confinement of
Women Do Much Toward Fill
ing Insane AsyIums.

In lecture on 'The Church and
Good Roads" theSRev. James Thomas
told the ministers conference in Den
yer, Colo, that, 'The isolation and SOL
itary confinement of the farm wife and
the farm servant girl do much toward
making these women form a consid-
cradle percentage of the inmates of in
sane asylums."
The speaker continued, "The good
roads problem is one to which the
church must very soon give material
attention" The church is a force in
any undertaking and good roads en-
thusiasts will welcome its efforts in be-
half of rural welfare.-Houston Post.

SAVE COLLEGE YOUTHS
Guard Boys Against Profession
aIism While Young.
Dean Briggs Of Harvard Says Ath.
Ietes May Be Protected in Gram
mar Schools - Cheering Is
Termed as Good Thing.

College boys can be saved from pro-
fessionalism in the grammar schools, ID
the idea expressed by Dean LIE Baron
r. Briggs of Harvard, chairman of the
athletic committee of the college, in his
warning issued to prospective college
athletes against playing for money. in
an address on athletics at Harvard.
He said:
1.-THE ethics Of athletics should be
like the ethics Of anything else. If a
boy breaks his amateur standing, he
should be quick to say so and face the
music. l think that any normal Ameri-
can boy will play game of baseball
wherever and whenever he has the
chance. Often they get into semi
professional company, and without car
ing much about the stipend they re-
ceive. accept money for their services.
Few boys realize what may be the fu.
ture effects of receiving pay for play
ing baseball.
las rule, boy will keep secret
the fact that he has earned money for
ball playing. But sometimes-it may be
years in the future-the fact is likely
to come to the surface at time when
the boy would give many times the
original amount if he could only blot
out his one slip into professionalism,
1.-The seriousness of playing for
money should be shown to the boy
when he is still in the grammar or high
schools. Oftentimes they have mar.
red their amateur records before they !
even think of coming to college. If |
advice of this kind is impressed upon |
the boys early enough. the danger of
their being declared professionals and
inellgibles later in college life would
very likely be obviated.
There are some phases of baseball,
accepted as institutions of
The game. that are decidedly unsports'
nanlike. Rafting the pitcher is one of
.hese. The incessant talking of the
players is another phase that is hardly
necessary. The talk does not encour-
lge.
Cheering is good thing. 1t is or
,anized and under the control of the
heer leaders. But even this institu
ion can be misused, as it is In football
,ames, when the cheers may make it
for the opposing quarter
ack to make himself heard"

Bjurstedt is capable of strokes that

One of New York's tennis experts

the first 40 players recently declared
that in practice clay Miss Bjurstect

male players who have played the

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
Maintenance of Dirt Roads Is Prob.
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak-
ing SpIit-Log Drag.

One of the problems confronting the
farmer is the question of maintenance
of dirt roads. Not only should dirt
roads be maintained during the spring
and summer months, but the winter
months as well; especially is this true
where there is not an overabundance
of snow, which conditions exist with
many of our readers.
The King road drag may be used
with much benefit during the winter
months, just after thaws or rains.
Good work can be done at this time
of the year because the soil is crum-
bly, Or mealy and pushes easily toward
the center of the road.
If the road has been properly cared
for during the summer and fall, it will
be only slight task to drag it dur
ing the winter when conditions are
right. At that season of the year there
is little for the work team to do and
in early spring the roads will be in
shape to turn water and permit of
early drying. In fact, the winter
dragged roads will lie dry and hard in
the spring when neglected roads will
be soft, rutty and springy. There is
no best time to drag roads. Go after
the work and then drag whenever you
can during the winter; then your
roads will be in good shape next
spring. Make split-log road drag
and keep it going OH the highway.
d. Ward King, the inventor of the
drag, gives the following directions
for making a split.log drag: Take
the two halves of a split log, ten or
twelve inches thick and seven to nine
feet long. Set the halves fiat sides
to the front, fasteD 80 inches apart
with strong stakes, The ends of which
are wedged in two-lnch auger holes,
bored through the slabs. Put a solid
plank platform on the stakes for the
driver to stand on. The hitch is made
Of strong wire or chain, the long end
to stake over the top of the
front slab, the short end should be put |
through a hole made in center of the |
slab and near the end to prevent the |
pack slab fitting forward. Face four |
Or five feet of the ditch end of the
'front.' slab with iron. An old wagon |
ire, worn share of road grader, or
my piece of flat steel will answer for
his purpose.
AS general rule, always haul the
lrag at an angle of 45 degrees, NOV
ng the dirt to the center of the road.

AMERICAN LEAGUE is BEST

Jack Coombs says the American

because of superior batting power.
Practically every team in the Ameri-

are mighty dangerous with the bat"
says Jack. Detroit has Veach, Cobb,
Crawford, Heilman and Burns. Cleve-

IMPORTANT DUTY OF PEOPLE
Prompt Repair and Careful Mainten-

Farmer Is Interested.

The making Of good roads is one of
the most important duties of the
American people, and their prompt
repair and careful maintenance is es-

There is probably no subject in
which the progressive farmer is more
deeply interested than that of having
roads connecting him with his mar
kets, over which he may be able to
haul the greatest possible load.
