COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
SUGGESTS HIGHWAY
in VERMONT FOREST

Middlebury, VT, Jan. IA
Green Mountain National Park to ex-
tend twenty-five miles through vir-
gin forests along the crest of the
mountains of Vermont, is suggested
by President John NJ. Thomas, of
Middlebury College, in his annual
report published today The basis of
his suggestion is the bequest by the
late Joseph Battell of 1000 acres of
forest land on the ridge of the Green
Mountains to the United States for
a park. President Thomas urges that
this be extended to allow a scenic
highway following the. Long Trail"
of the Green Mountain Club, which
would command views, not only of
the primeval forests of the unspoil-
ed portions of the Green Mountains,
but also of the White Mountains and
the Champlain valley.
Middlebury College receives $780,
900 from the Battell estate, including
q, 900 acres of forest land. The tract
is the largest portion of the Green
Mountains now remaining under one
control 1t includes some of the wild
est and most romantic scenery in the
state. Mr.. Battell acquired his hold
ings during a period of so years, his
motive being to protect natural for
ests from destruction. They come to
the college under careful restrictions
and President Thomas recommends
that they be managed according to
the principles of scientific forestry.

Damages to Arkansas.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 1.-THE battle
ship Arkansas, which arrived at the
navy yard yesterday, will have re-
pairs made on her starboard high
pressure stern turbine, which stripped
three rows of blades last Sunday
night. When the accident happened,
the Arkansas was standing in toward
the southern drill grounds, having
just arrived there from the New York
navy yard.
At the moment the accident hap
pened the Arkansas was making ten
knots speed, and there was little
strain on the turbines.
The Arkansas turbines are of the
Parsons type and have given splendid
results. Their overhauling last fall
was the first they had received in
three years. It is expected the Ar
kansas will be here week under re-
pairs.

Foley Kidney Pin. Away. give me

"Feley Kidney Pills always give me

Ed velton. of Rogers, Neb.. writes:
81 have used Foley Kidney Pills for
backache, the result of catching cold
which settled in my back. Foley
Kidney Pills always give me prompt
relief and 1 can cheerfully recon-
mend them"
The reason Foley Kidney Pills act
so satisfactorily is because they neu-
tralize and dissolve the poisonous
waste matter that remains in the
blood because the kidneys do not
do their work properly in altering
and casting out from the system uric
acid and other poisons.
Relief usually follows in a few
days and such symptoms as pain in
the sides or back, stif joints, sore
muscles, rheumatism. too frequent
action of the bladder at night. and
other painful and annoying ailments

A. III. S. FOOTBALL
Ithaca Game Postponed-Team Wifi
Open With Cadillac.

The Ithaca high school football
game which was to have been played
On Davis field Friday afternoon has
been postponed, and as result the
Cadillac high school game scheduled
for next week atNCadillac will be the
opening game of the season.
The Ithacans have been having n
hard time getting men out for the
practices and are not in shape for a
game YET. 1t is expected that the
battle with the Ithacans will be
played later in the season, after the
county seaters get more practice and
get team developed to "a greater
extent.
The Cadillac game scheduled for
next week Saturday promises to be
hard fought one, with Cadillac be
ing a favorite. The upstaters have
strong bunch out this year, many
Of them veterans left over from last
year Eph. Johnson, former Alma
college star, is aiding in coaching the
Cadillac team. Last year this team
was considered one of the best in the
state and is reported as being prac-
tically as strong as year ago, when
il made a brilliant record
The Alma high school team will be
crippled for the battle with the Cad
lilac team. Last Friday while in a
practice scrimmage Captain Glen
Boyd, of the Alma team fell in such
q manner that bone was broken in
the elbow of the right arm, which
promises to keep him out of the game
foi few weeks. Boyd was consid-
cred one of the best men on the Alma
team and his loss is a serious one, to
the eleven which has such few veter-
ans to start with.
The prospects for a winning team
were made somewhat brighter this
week by the return of Walker to the
team. This veteran is one of the best
offensive men left from the veterans,
and his return will materially
strengthen the locals. Coach Kimball
is working his men out in long SEES
sions each night and is determined to
have the eleven in good shape so that
the team may be able to put up a
strong battle with the Cadillac team
next week.
There rs still a big uncertainty as
to the lineup for the opening game
and it may not be announced until
just before the game with the upstate
team.

TRACTOR TO OPEN
ROADS IN TROPICS
Possibilities Shown by War May Solve
Commercial Transportation.

Measured by their performances in
the European war, the motorcar and
the flying machine may soon prove de-
cisive factors I'm the commercial de-
velopment Of the tropics, according 10
O. l.. Austin. statistician OF the Ma
tional City bank Of New York city.
Mr.. Austin says that the failure of
the tropical sections OF the world TO
develop when they possess a greater
producing power per acre or square
mile than the temperate zones is due
primarily to lack of transportation IA
cilties. Animal power cannot cope
with climatic conditions as IA medium
of transportation in the tropics. He
suggests that the commercial automo-
bile and the caterpillar tractor for
roadless areas may solve the tran
sportation problem of the tropics.
while the airplane may serve the pur-
pose of exploration and travel
The system of mechanical power
necessary for transportation in the trop-
les between the place Of production
and the common carrier" said Mr.. Aus
tin, has apparently been brought into
practical operation by the necessities
OF the war. While man had invented
the automobile and the flying machine
before the war, he had only begun to
realize their practical value, and espe-
cially the practicabilty of operating
the horseless vehicle over undeveloped
and roadess areas
"But the necessities Of the war have
sharpened his wits. and today millions
OF men and untold quantities OF mer-
chandise are being transported by
American and other horseless vehicles
over sections of Europe In which, how
ever good their roads may once have
been, they can no longer be relied upon
as highways for this necessary trans
portation. which goes on day and night
and with an activity heretofore I'M
dreamed Of. If the development OF the
horseless vehicle and flying machine
for exploration. travel and communica-
ton should render practicable the COM
mercial development OF the tropical
half OF the worlds land area their
value 10 man would far exceed the cost
of the war in which their practical
qualities have been made apparent"
AS evidence of the demand In tenn
perate zones for tropical products, Mr..
Austin cited the fact that in 1916 the
United, States alone took merchandise
of this kind worth $1,000. 100000.

ENTERTAIN THEM

Today. Ithaca is entertaining IN
great style for the one hundred and
line young men, who are leaving Fri
dav morning for Battle Greek, to en-
ter the training cantonment and come
out finished products for the new
national army. Ithaca is outdoing
anything which has been attempted
in the county.
Alma Friday morning will watch
these young men march down through
the street to the depot, with very lit
tie demonstration being made, except
on the part of the local company of
home guards, and yet Alma is the
largest place in the county and these
men all depart for Battle Greek from
Alma. Not all of the home guard
would have been able to march with
the men to the depot had it not been
for the kindness Of the Republic in
allowing the members who work there
to leave their work at the factory for
q time, and at the expense of the
company. That's public spiritedness,
bat aside from these men there seems
to be little organized effort at giving
the one hundred and nine men good
send off.
About the first of October another
forty per cent of the drafted men will
leave Alma for the training canton
ment. Let Alma come to the front
at this time and give these men the
most royal reception and good time
which they have ever had. Let them
know that the people of Alma realize
the terrible hardships of war that
they may be forced to go through
and that our hearts are with them the
entire time they are gone. Let them
know that we appreciate their ser
vices in upholding the honor of the
country Decorate the entire city
and do it right for the occasion.
