SAVING PAPER.

School Children of Philadelphia to coI-
lect Old Newspapers and Magazines.
y paper saving plan whereby the
100000 public school children of Phila-
delphia will be enlisted i'll collecting
old newspapers and magazines to be
sold for the benefit of the Fairgrounds
association, the proceeds to be used
for developing new recreation centers,
was taken up recently at meeting Of
the board Of educat ton. Should the
matter be 'favOrably acted on by the
board the school children will collect
annually several thousands of dollars
for their Fairgrounds.
The plan as introduced and referred
TO the committee on elementary schools
by the president of the board, Henry
Il. Edmunds. is modelled after that now
being successfully practiced in Chica-
go and Washington.
Because the paper shortage situation
is becoming more acute, almost every
line of business being affected by the
abnormally nigh prices for paper. con-
serVatiOn of old newspapers and mag
azines is believed 10 be the only means
which viii give relief AT the present
time. This doctrine is being urged by
the American Newspaper Publishers
ASSOCIATION.
Sixty three thousand pupils IN the
Catholic parochial schools OF Pniladel-
phia have began Il systematic Collection
of paper under the direction Of Rev.
John Z. Flood, rector of ST. Patrick's
Catholic church. Several ministerial
associations have in0orsed the paper
saving campaign and axe using the
funds derived from this source for
church purposes.
Under the bead of education plan it
is expected that the children will be
able to provide finds for extensive i'm
provements in the equipment of the
various recreation centers much in
need at the present time, but for which
appropriations are lacking.
The Fairgrounds association, it is I'M
derstood. is enthusiastic over the plan
and will willingly enter into the local
movement provided the board of edu-
cation approves of the idel School
authorities in Washington AID Chicago
have already sanctioned the plan, and
those of other big cities are preparing
to participate in similar campaigns.

ROAD IN DINWIDDIE COUNTY, VA, SHOW
ING THE SUBSTANTIAL CHARACTER OF
THE IMPROVEMENTS WHICH INCREASE
LAND VALUES.
values in those instances which were
recorded ranged from GO per cent to
so per cent in Spottsylvania county,
Va; from GS to 1914 in Dinwiddie coun-
ty, Va; 20 to 80 in Lee county, Va;
% to 100 i'll Wise county, Va; . to ia
in Franklin county, n. Y; 90 to 100
in Dallas county, Ala; % to so in
Lauderdale county, Miss, and from 80
to 100 in Mamatee county, Fla. The es-
Inmates of Increase were based for the
most part upon the territory within a
distance of one mile on each side of
the roads Improved.
In Spottsylvania county a careful rec
ord was made in 1910 of thirty five
farms located on the road selected for
improvement. OF the seven farms sold
i'll 1912 the prices actually paid show
increases OF from 81 to 11G per cent
over the 1910 valuation. The average
value after the roads were improved
w ID T-C.-O iSi tlNlS to SOIllI W III
S17.31 previous to the Improvement
In 1913 four transfers of farm land
were on the basis of $3011 per acre.
whereas the properties were listed in
1910 at only $3.50 per acre. 1t ap-
pears that the ,451 acres sold in 1914
increased in value $2S,5O0, or 50 per
cent, or frOila $24.4G to $44.1O per acre.
IN Dinwidd:e county, Va, the actual
price of fortg-three farms sold or Of
fered for sale from 1909 to 1911 ranged
in price from $S.3S to $43.74 per acre
before the roads were built and from
$24.7O to $3.50 per acre after the roads
were improved.
In Lee county, Va, Il study of eight
tracts along the roads before and after
Improvement indicated that these prop
critics increased about % per acre, or
about 20 per cent.
In Wise county, V;t., study of eight
representative farms located on roads
showed that they increased in value
from an average of $40.OG per acre be
fore improvement to $79.44 after the
roads were iluproyed. There were in
creases in valuation in other sections
Of from $50 TO 800 or even 500 per
acre.
In Franklin county, n. Y, tie figures
seem to indicate that the change from
earth, sandy and loam roads TO bitumi
nous macadam was followed by in
creases averaging $3.50 per acre, OF
about 30T par cent.
III Dallas county. Ala, careful in
YestigatiOn seemed to indicate that
road Improvement has added at least
S5 TO each acre of land within 4 half
mile of improved roads. Tracts sold
at from IS to $40 per acre were sold
again after road improvement at from
$50 to $50 per acre.
In Laudcrtialc county, Miss. the tota!
assessed va!;:ation of real property
outside of the city was $2,757,54G. This
Increased in l014 after road improve
4nient to So, 500. or i5.4 per cent.
in Manatte county, Fla. careful
study of salps and real estate records
Indicated that the Improvement al
roads has added from IS to 100 pel
cent. or at least $15 per acre, to the
selling price Of all lands within one
half mile of improved roads. This
would give total of $G11 900, or more

PLANS A TOWN BOOM.
Mayor of Wenonah, N, j.. Urges Coun-
Gil and Citizens to Assist.

Although he has just entered upon
his third term as mayor of the borough
of Wenonah, n. j., Mayor G. Fowler.
Cline has no Intention o. Lifting the
town get into a rut as a result of his
administration, which began four years
ago. and he and council are now plan
ming some practical method of stirring
up civic pride to a greater degree on
the part of the citizens, with the idea
OF putting Wenonah well to the fore
front of residential towns in south
Jersey.
1t is proposed by Mayor Cline, with
the cooperation Of the other borough
officials and leading citizens, to hold
series of public meetings to be address
ed by prominent speakers, with the
idea OF starting a town boom among
the people of the town themselves.
Mayor Cline set forth some of his
ideas in his annual message 10 coun-
Gil when he was sworn in for the
third time. He said:
eff there is any one thing needed
more than another to encourage and
promote the growth and prosperity Of
WenOnah 1t is q development of civic
pride among its citizens. l believe that
every man, woman and child who lives
in this beautiful town has a personal
interest and pride in it, else why do
they all live here? But so many of us
have formed habit of criticising and
knocking instead of boosting and boast
ing that we are lindering instead OF
helping the best interests OF Wenonall.
''It is my sincere desire, and be-
licve that it is our duty, that this bor-
ough council should take an active part
in creating among our citizens spirit
Of civic pride. This can be done ana
: would be Of the greatest good we
could give the town during the year.
The directors of the building and loao
association and, l believe, other good
citizens stand ready to help us, so let
us get busy in boosting the prettiest,
healthiest and best town in south Jer.

.RESULTOF ECONOMIC SURVEY

Office of Public Roads and Rural Ens-

Effect of Improved Highways Upon
Farm Lands In Certain Counties of
Different States.
To determine as far as possible the
exact dollars and cents effect on
county of the improvement of bad
roads, specialists of the office of pub

department of agriculture made eco
nomic surveys in eight counties in
each of the years from 1910 to 1915, in

This study of the increase in the val
ucs of farm lands in the eight coun-
ties reveals the rather interesting fact
that following the improvement of the
main market roads the increase in the
selling price of tillable farm lands
served by the roads has amounted to
from one to three times the total cost
Of the Improvements. The increase in
