Italy's transportation needs are re-

of her northern allies, because she
is so heavily dependent upon the
outside world, and particularly
America. for raw materials. She
must have thousands Of tons OF
American coal TO keep her factories
in operation and great quantities OF
iron and steel for war manufactures.

TO FIGHT WITH BRITISH
Hoy, Whose Mother and Sister Were
U-Boat Victims, Will Avcnge Loss.

London. March 30.-Austin Hoy
whose mother and sister were among
the Americans who persisted on the
Laconia, foreswore his allegiance to
the United States today and joined
the British army.
He becomes a member of an Off
GERS training corps with the rank of
a cadet and is practically assured of
a commission later in the heavy artil-
lery branch of the service, for which
his engineering experience as an en-
ploye of a western American machin-
cry concern especially fits him.
Hoy cabled President Wilson soon
after it had been established that the
Laconia sank from the unwarned at
handing that the United States avenge
such a deed and declaring he would
be the first American to enlist against
those who had caused the death of his
loved ones. Otherwise. he said. he
would join the British army. So far
as known, President Wilson made no
answer to the cablegram.

confirmed. Hoy said his aged father

the death of the mother and sister,
and that he regarded it as his own
duty.

COVE GOOD TOWN
Even Without Railroad, 1t Is
Showing Steady Growth.
Business Men Prosperous
Much Building Being Done.

Cove. Kan. March 3O.-The State
Journal correspondent wishes he could
reach Cove by railroad. 1t must be
remembered Cove county is one of the
few counties in the state without rail-
road facilities. And Cove is the county
sat. and has a stone court house. 1t
is the site of one of the high schools
of Cove county. The land around the
town is fertile, and the blackberry
valley is full of alfalfa and stock, and
pleasant homes. Railroad projects
have headed toward Cove, and some
how tLey get sidetra cked tefore they
reach this county seat. If Cove can
get railroad the town will double
her present population in short time.
The persons who haul the freight
and express to and from Cove and
Grainfield. II miles away, seem to be
making money. Grainfield IS on the
Union Pacific. and the nearest point
To Cove. Many believe the Santa Fe
officials would find it worth while to
come out to Cove and look over the
outlook.
The Cove Exchange State bank is
the oldest bank in Cove county. 1t
was established in 1889. The capital
stock is S35.0O0. The deposits foot
up mere than 100000. J. J. Barclay
is president; J. H. McNaughton. vice
president. and Geo. d. Roger. cashier.
Mr.. Roger formerly represented Cove
county in the state legislature and
made credita BILE legislator.
Houses In Demand.
More than a dozen houses can be
rented a this time if they could be
had. There is demand for more resi-
dcnces.
A new garage is under way, so by
125 feet, ut a cost of about $4,000.
There is something doing in Cove for
someone to have the nerve to erect
building of this kind in town with
out railroad. Besides the recently
completed Odd Fellows hall is cred
it 20 a town much larger than Cove.
The recent business changes in Cove
show confidence the new settlers have
that il is only a question of time when
a railroad will be built here. The
new additions to the business are the

There is every reason that the

sirous Of having the surplus land
held by the Indians sold to actual
settlers. White people placed
among the Indians will do more to-
ward their civilization than any one
thing that could be done. This is
a fact that has been thoroughly de-
monstrated, and the reason is, that
there is constantly object lessons Of
Of various kinds always before
them. Keeping the Indian land in
it's wild state is a help to the large
cattle industries, and a hindrance
to the individual Indian, both fin
ancially and mentally.
l also notice the paid advertise

cements held out by the Canadian
government in the same issue. It
is quite contrast and a great in.

come Canadians. It's time that
some of the government officials
pinch themselves to see that they
