LIGHT ROADS FOR LIGHT
TRAFFIC, EXPERT URGES

Who wants earth roads? What
road booster talks about earth roads
"No body" and mot one" are the
will remain the only hope for millions
of country people and their city cou-
sins who visit them for generations
to come, according the Dean E. ]. Nc
Caustland of the University Of Mis-
souri, Engineering School.
Good earth roads are not, by any
means, an impossibility for certain
kinds Of traffic. Of course, they will
not carry continuous lines of 5-ton
auto trucks running at high speed,
nor will they satisfy the speed ficnd
in his 12-cylinder racer, but they will
satisfy the owner of small car and
the 1-ton slow speed truck, as well as
the wide-tired farm wagons with
moderate roads. With such moderate
traffic to serve, it is folly to construct
and maintain high priced roads. "Cut
the garment to suit the cloth"-build
the road to suit the traffic needs. 1t
will be found that earth roads will
now, and for long to come, serve
we'll large proportion Of what may
be classified as diotinctly country traf-
fic.
We do not put 4-foot concrete walls
under our dwelling houses but reserve
such for grain elevators. Likewise,
brick, concrete and even macadam
roads should be reserved for places
where traffic demands them. Build
light roads at small cost for light
traffic.

A dispatch in metropolitan paper
under Washington date line states
that bread is selling in Great Britain
at the rate of 80 ounces for II cents;
in France, rs ounces for 8 cents and
in poor, bleeding belgium, So ounces
for only 8 cents. In Washington, d.
c, IA ounces sells for 10 cents, which
is representative Of the rate over the
whole country--at least it is nowhere
sold at a lesser rate. "The grain
which goes into this bread" says
Representative Heating of Colorado,
twas raised and sold by American
farmers; spectators and middlemen
made their regular profits; freight
was paid to the sea board and the
highest cargo rate in history expend-
ed for its shipment across the At
lantic. What reason can be assigned,
then, for the fact that bread is sold
cheaper 5000 miles away from the
original wheat field than it is at
home" Why, indeed ?-unless for
the same reason that American meat
can be bought for less prices in almost
any European city than it can right
here at home.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Ia
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is iniiamod you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when It is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condl-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten caused by Catnrrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

NOOl Id Duo Eli
The Commonwealth Edison Co.,
the Westinghouse Co. and the Gen
eraI Electric corporation got their
Chicago market widened today when
a jury in federal Judge Humphreys
court brought in a verdict of guilty
for ten small capitalists and four la
Dor union officials.
The ten small capitalists are the
heads of the Chicago Switchboard
assn and were-in conspiracy with the
four labor men to shut out from Chi
cagO territory electrical construction
all appliances not union made.
The verdict today is the final
action by which the conspiracy Is
broken and the way made clear for
the nOn-UniOn electrical appliances
of the Commonwealth Edison, West
inghoUse, and General Electric to be
sold and installed without interior
ence from the electrical workers
union. These are the guilty:
Michael J. ("Umbrela Mike')
Boyle, former business agent of
Local No. 134, Electrical Workers
union.
Raymond Cleary, assistant to
Boyle.
c. L. Hampton, former business
agent of the same local.
Frank A. Landmark, former bust
ness agent Of Local No. 713.
The individual manufacturers are:
TObO C1thbert Cltbbert E1actricaI
and Manufacturing Co.
Charles Kreider, KOhler Bros.
Warren E. Ripple, J. Lang Electric
Co.
Otis B. Duncan, same company.

l. NOOl OLAB LOGAL
IIKE BOYLE NAILED
the J. Lang Electric Co., the States
Electric Co., and the Electric APP
paratus Co.
"The impression has gone out that
the prosecution was aimed only at
the labor grafters involved in this
case" said U. S. Asst Dist Atty Al
bert Hopkins. THAT is wrong. Both
labor men and electrical contractors
have been convicted of conspiracy
to boycott and establish a monopoly
in restraint of trade and in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
IF it had been the Commonwealth
Edison Co. or the Westinghouse or
the General Electric in a similar con-
spiracy we would have taken the
same course. The verdict of guilty
involves both forces Of capital as well
as labor"
The boycott was organized in
April, 1911, when the contractors and
labor men came to sign new agree
ments. Contractors said they
COuIuh meet the new wage increase
asked by the labor men unless some
way could be found to close the Chi
cagO market to all switch boards and
panels that didn't have the union
brand.
Mike BOyle's conviction is the SEN
satiOn of the day. He has been a
dominating figure in the electrical
workers union and though often &C
cused Of unfair methods today is the
first time his business connections,
his organization and his influence
failed to get him an acquittal. His
personal real estate holdings are
valued at 100000 which is some
handy bunch of property to earn as
a labor business agent or in real
estate speculation.
