Good Roads Everywhere

It seems that practically everybody
everywhere believes in good roads.
The real purpose of the Kansas Good
Roads Association, which recently
opened headquarters in Topeka, is to
educate, promoted and encourage the
building of permanent highways.
Good roads mean good schools, good
churches, good farms, good towns,
good living, good homes, good crops,
good people.
A fve-year campaign has been
mapped out and by being a member
of the Kansas Good Roads Associa-
permanent roads more quickly, and
the membership is only S1.O0 per
year, or $500 for the five years.
The last few days of April and the
first few days in May gave another
illustration of the great need and real
necessity of hard surfaced roads. The
continued rains placed many public
highways in Kansas in almost impas-
sable condition. For days not a We
hicle of any sort could hardly be used.
just think of the loss OF time. Godd
roads are NOT an expense; they ARE
economy.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama,
known as ''the father of the good
ROADS movement OF the On1LeO
States" attended a meeting of the
highway associations In Memphis,
Tenn, last month. Here are some of
his remarks:
"a good many people no doubt are
wondering why 1 am here: why am
not In Washington in this critical
hour to cast my vote and offer my adj
vice. My answer is that If we are to
have war, we must have highways. If
we are to continue TO live inpeace and
good viii we must have highways.
As a matter of national defense,
there is nothing that the government
could do that would equip a system
of national highways that would be
equal to the occasion of moving a
great army and its train of supplies.
A military highway is not the only
necessity and essential highway, but
it is just as important when we come
to consider national defense We
must prepare and prepare all along
the line. Meetings of this sort are alb
solutely necessary agitation The
educational work has been done
Eve should appropriate $5O,00O,-
600 annually for good roads; yes
$1O0,00O,OOO annually, and I believe
the day viii come when that viii be
done"

The U. P. in FOOD Drive

The campaign of the Union Pacific
Railroad to bring the spare land along
its right of way under cultivation has
met with phenomenal success.
Approximately $4,000 acres VIII be
under cultivation In 1917. Includ-
ing the branch lines, the right of way
of the Union Pacific is almost 37OO
miles long, and the right of way acres
which will be used for the raising of
food crops during the coming sum
mer, If all in one piece, would make a
strip of land approximately 100 feet
wide and 22OO miles long.
Most of this land has been leased
to the owners of adjoining farms at
nominal rental of one dollar per
year Some of it has been under cul-
tlvation IN previous years, but the re-
cent appeal of President Wilson for
cooperation in increasing the farm
yield of the country has given ire
mendOus impetus to the extended use
of these right of way acres.
The figures given above do not in
clude small patches that will be cult
waited by the Union Pacific employ
ees and others with whom temporary
arrangements have been made and will
be made during the planting season.
By the time all of these small pieces
P0N O0lS4NdIlOn II VIII DIO-
badly add several thousand acres ad-
ditional to the sum total
If the other railroads do as well in
proportion, it will mean tremendous
increase in the production of more
food stuffs which is now so essential
IN the world wide struggle to over
come the destruction of being
wrought by German submarines.
The majority of this land is in the
richest agriculture sections of the
states through which the railroad
runs.
1t is scattered along the main line
of the Union Pacific in Nebraska,
Kansas, Utah, Wyoming and Colora-
cd, and on the branch lines, especially
in Kansas and Nebraska.
Not all of the right of way OF the
Union Pacific is available for farm
purposes In some places the right of
way is leased on both sides of the
track, and in others only one side OF
the track is under lease.
The Union Pacific officials anti
cipate that practically all of this land
will ultimately have to be used fo1
purely railroad purposes, but until
that time comes, it is intended to en-
courage the leasing of it for agricul-
tural purposes to as large an extent
as possible Especially is this true
during the present war emergency.

The Giant

You have had a lot of woe, Kaiser
Bill; and lot more you will know,
Kaiser Bill; for the giant of the West
straps his harness on his breast, and
will knock you from your nest, Kai-
ser Bill. Patient was the giant long,
Kaiser Bill; bearing injury and
wrong, Kaiser Bill; hoping that a ray
of sense would prevade your Uranium
dense, that you'd let up your offense,
Kaiser Bill. But you tramped the
giants toes, Kaiser Bill, and you
tweaked the giant nose, Kaiser Bill;
now you see the giant rise, with the
war light in his eyes, and he'll soak
your Prussian guys, Kaiser Bill.
You're exhausted by the strain, Kai-
ser Bill; full of WEAKNESS and pain,
Kaiser Bill; you are going stony broke
and your folks will bear the yoke of
taxation till, they croak, Kaiser Bill.
You have strained your last resource,
Kaiser Bill, in your work that's rudd
and course, Kaiser Bill; dotards who
are bent and gray, children from
their schoolyard play, you are drag
ging to the fray, Kaiser Bill. But the
giant of the West, Kaiser Bill; tor
tured by no bloody thirst, by no war
lord vision curst, he will chop you in
to wurst, Kaiser Bill.-Walt Mason.
