About Roads.

The automobile is coming into
general use so rapidly that the
question Of road building is Of
greater importance than ever be-
fore. The farmers, as we'll as the
town and city drivers are we'll aware
of this fact The day has gone by
when blowing up the road way and
sweeping the dirt up in the middle
constitutes road. or when the
wind row Of gravel. dumped
through the center Of the highway
and left to be smoothed up by en-
forced travel, meets the require.
ment.
Too many roads have been built
in this way. and stand today as
monuments of folly. The side roads
which are generally good during
the dry season. are impossible af-
ter a rain. and the old roadway 10
the center, with its hummocks of
gravel are a menace to every auto
mobile driver.
The time has come when scien-
tific road building is in demand, not
on the best of travelled thorough.
fares but on every cross road. for
many farmers have beccme auto
drivers sDd many more will join
the ranks during the next year.
The road in front of a mans farm
is Of more importance to him than
any other, and he might better fill
up the holes and keep it in repair
unto such time when it can be
graded and properly drained. than
to have it plowed up and made
dangerous and next to impossible.
The time will speedily come
when every well built country road
will be oiled TO bind the top dress,
ing and make ii waterproof, and
when it will be kept in repair by
filling up the holes with crushed
gravel, The automobile is a hard
vehicle on any road. but it has
come to stay. and the sooner this
fact is recognized, the better for all
concerned

Potato Comes Back.

The huge potato crop which the
Federal forecast indicates will be
produced in the United States this
year means that this importan {
food will be cheaper. and makes it
possible, says the United States De.
partment of Agriculture, for Amer
lean families that had to cut down
on potato consumption because of
high prices to restore the tuber to
a prominent place on their bill
of fare.
The department forecast, based
on reliable estimates from all parts
of the country, places the total
potato yield at more than 467 mil
lion bushels as compared with 285
million in 1915 and $50 million in
1915. Potatoes of the current sea-
son are already in the market in
large quantities and, since the early
harvested tubers can not be kept
easily. should be eaten more abund
antly now if spoilage is to be
avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs potatoes
are the most important food crop
of the western nations, the depart
ment points out. They are all the
more important now that the
worlds wheat supply is short, since
they furnish starch. the principal
food element contributed by bread
and so may be substituted in part
for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans
says the department, to eat freely
of potatoes; rather, it has been a
hardship to them during the past
half year to forego somewhat the
use Of this common food

SPEECHES
FRANKED
Washington Fears Repetition
Of Civil War Anti Draft
Riots Next Week.
By CARL D. GRoAT

tUnited Press staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June .1.-Part
of congress is aiding in the anti
CONSUMPTION plot.
While the department of Justice
is hewing away at the roots of the
nationwide conspiracy some mem
bers of congress are franking out
anti-draft speeches, including that
of Speaker Champ Clark. it be-
came known here today.
Many are supposedly using their
franking privileges to explain to their
constituents their votes on the select
i've service bill.
But whatever the intention the effect
of their act. department of justice
agents say. is manifestly TO encoura ge
plotters wherever the literature goes.
So widespread has the opposition of
the draft become that repetition of
civil war anti-draft riots is secretly
feared here.
A new band of anti-registration plot
ters WAS uncovered i'm the south where
negroes are being melted to resist reg
istration and military service. Eight
men are known TO be busy in three
states urging negroes to hide OUT
from authorities.
