Sander Predicts That

Washington, Jan. 10. - Legislation
to forbid importation of nursery

ference ON the pine blister disease here
to-day, as the only means OF prevent
ing spread of a multitude of insect
pests and plant Affections now threat

many fruit trees and shrubs now i'm

cation in this country.

RECALL OF GUARD
EXPECTED SOON
Unofficial Report Says Troops
Will Be Released From Bor-
der Within Five Days

Columbus, n. NJ, Jan. 10. - 1t was
unotticially reported here yesterday
that the militia will be released from
border service within five days. Off
cials were noncommittal.
Washington, Jan. 10. - Three COM
panies of the Kentucky National Guard
will be sent home from the border on
orders from the War Department to
General Funston. In previous cases
the selection of the units to be return
ed has been left to the commanding
officers, but at the request of the Gov
ernor of Kentucky General Funston
has been instructed to return one
company from each of the three regi-
ments of that State.
All the Kentucky regiments are at
Ell Paso.
Although Villas operations have in
jected confusing factorssinto the situ-
alton in Northern Mexico and along
the border, there is every indication
that the Administration is going for
ward with plans for early withdrawal
of Pershing's expedition and demobil-
ization of the National Guard.
1t has been indicated clearly that
unless there was some unexpected de-
velopment Pershing's withdrawal
would be ordered within a few days,
possibly by the end of this week.
Reports on Villas new campaign ap-
parently have not disturbed this deter
mination, but they have somewhat be-
wildered official ideas as to the real
situation and in the end may operate
to hold up orders until a more thor
ough investigation has been made.
Army officers are anxious to locate the
Villa forces more definitely before
there is any American movement.

GOVERNMENT WILL
INVESTIGATE THE
COST OF LIVING
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WALKER
RETURNS FROM MEETING OF
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.
If A CONSPIRACY OR UNDER
STANDING is REVEALED GRAND
JURY WILL ACT.
Mr.. WALKER INVITES SUCCESS.
TioNS FROM DEALERS, CON-
SUMERS, ETC.

That the government has planned
to take action against those who are
responsible for the high cost of living
is evident by report from the New
York meeting, which was held last
week by the United States district
attorneys from Maine to and includ.
ing West Virginia. Colonel Walker,
who attended the meeting, has re-
turned, and in discussing the matter
this morning said that the meeting
was called for the purpose of making
inquiry into the increased cost OF
coal and cold storage products.
1t was learned at the meeting that
the New England railroads are coop
Grating with the district attorneys in
an effort to reduce prices, and get sup
plies to the people on schedule time
without any increased cost. The rail
roads complain that their chief diff
Guilty is in getting cars because some
people prefer to pay demurrage to
getting the cars unloaded and there
by keep them from being again placed
in commission.
District Attorney Walker says why
is it that coal hauled rs miles is sold
to Martinsburg people at 81 ton?
The cost of mining has not Increased,
and neither has the freightage of $1.3S
per ton. Therefore, the question
arises, why the cost has increased to
the consumer? All of these questions
viii be investigated, and If there is
evidence of a conspiracy or an under
standing. between the operators aud
those engaged in handling the coal
the matter will be presented to the
grand jury. The poor people have a
right to purchase their coal ct Il
proper profit to the operators
Mr.. Walker further says thaa this
increased price came from car short
age. and probably some arrange
ment on the part of the small oper-
ators. The large operators seem to
have made contracts at the old prices
to care for their entire output, and
are continuing to fulfill them
Mr.. Walker would like any sugges-
ton from any coal dealer or consun-
er or any interested person that
would throw any light on the increase
of prices.

TEN REASONS FOR COOP ROADS

i. Good roads indicate intelligence
and progress.
2 Good roads attract new resi-
dents and increase the taxable wealth
of the county
8. Good roads shorten the distance
to market and greatly increase the
value of residence and farm property
4. Good roads invite tourist travel
from all sections and fayorably ad
yertise the country through which
they pass.
s. Good roads facilitate business
transactions and encourage social in
tercourse through prompt and regu
lar delivery of the mail
6. Good roads create better rural
conditions by bringing churches
schools, lodges. neighborhood associ-
ations and local clubs closer to the
farm gate.
Z. Good roads abate the tendency
of country residents to move into the
city, and attract class of citizens
who are a credit to the community
in which they locate.
5. Good roads create wealth
through the establishment of mills
and factories and greatly increase the
number OF workmen who buy or build
homes and spend their money with
focal merchants.
8. Good roads result in saving
of thousands of dollars spent annu-
ally for maintenance; and money
from the general road fund wasted in
making repairs is available to inn
prove neglected highways.
10. Good roads stimulate diversi-
fed farming and make it necessary
for the grower OF many crops to go
to market almost daily, while produce
is hauled with great ease, in less
time, and reaches the purchaser in
better condition.
