Roads Important
Says Major-General Leonard S.
Wood, commander Southeastern De-
partment, United States Army:
Permanent highways of the most
durable construction are of great inn
portance in war especially in modern
war, when roads must be so construct
ed as to stand the heaviest traffic.
1T is particularly important that
they be constructed i'll such areas as
will make them of military value.
Tile first roads should be along our
sea coasts-especially in the vital
areas where there is great wealth and
mechanical industry. Then should
come the roads along our main land
frontiers.
1T would be of greatest value to the
country if State authorities and the
National government, especially the
military arm. could act in the fullest
cooperation in this great work, in
order that the maximum result, both
from the industrial and military stand
point, could be obtained with the
money spent"
Prompt Mobilization
Martin G.. Brumbaugh, Governor of
Pennsylvania, says:
Prompt mobilization of the troops
of this country at any strategic point
is essential to any effective prepared
ness for National defense.
This mobilization cannot be ac-
complished successfully without the
establishment of great trunk-line
,,
as infantry could pass speedily and
safely.
1t is therefore in the interests of
the nation in every crisis, as well as
in the interests of its normal industrial
development, to establish great trunk
lines of highways radiating in every
direction and focusing at strategic
sort should receive the cordial sup
port of patriotic and right-thinking
citizens"

my opinion of the value of permanent

United States were this nation at war"
Highway Commissioner Black says. II
cannot attempt to define the limits of
their value. On the other hand, it
seems to me that no nation can hope
for military success, unless long
continued and serious effort has been
made to transform roadwayS into
highways constructed in the most ap-
proved modern manner, so that the
movements of military bodies may be
expedited from point to point as neces-
sity may demand.
Pennsylvania has started this COM
prehensive system of highways recon-
struetion within her borders. 1t is true
that to date comparatively little pro-
gress has been made but enough has
been done and projected to insure a

EXTEND CORN
BELT Is ADVICE
FrostzProof Grain Is Among
Possibilities of At
tainment

Washington, D. c.. April In
this age-of wonderful achievements.
a frost-proof corn is among the pos
sibilities of attainment. When a
corn is bred that will withstand
spring and fall frosts and grow at
low temperatures. like rye, the reign
and territory of King Corn will be
extended and his powers increased.
Recent work of the Office of. Corn
Investigations, Bureau of Plant In
dustry. U. s. Department of Agri-
culture. indicates the possibilities of
producing varieties of frost-proof
corn and varieties that will continue
growth at low temperatures. Some
kinds of corn have ben found to
withstand freezing, both in the
spring and in the fall, and after
wards continue to- grow. Still more
encouraging is the fact that some in
dividuaf plants of these hardy va
rieties are more enduring than other
plants of the same variety.
At the first signs of spring, with
patches of snow still on the ground,
seed of these varieties has been
planted and his shown ability to
Withstand frozen ground and spring
frosts and ultimately TO yield well,
Planted in February, 1917, plants
which were several inches high with
SlOOu freeze OF MdTCn D, WHICH
froze the ground to a depth Of two
inches.
OF still more importance than the
possibilit yof producing frost-proof
corn is the possibility of producing
varieties of corn that will continue
TO thrive and produce grain at lower
temperatures than existing varieties.
There is much territory with long
frost-free periods, where. during
nights or for several weeks during
the growing season, temperatures re-
main too low for ordinary varieties
of corn to grow. c. P. Hartley, in
charge of corn Investigations, U. S.

ST. LOUIS TRAVELS
SAFELY THROUGH
NEST OF U-BOATS
American Liner Escapes Harm
While Nearby Boats
Sink

New York, April 10. - Running
safely through the dangers of the
German submarine blockade of Great
Britain and without sighting a peri
scope, the American liner st. Louis
arrived here to-day. The st. Louis

danger zone around the British Isles

The homeward voyage was
stormy one. a hundred miles off. the
coast of Ireland a gale threatened the
destruction of the life boats. which
had been partly lowered, and it be-
| came necessary to lie to for two hours
while they were made secure. This

made directly in the path of German
submarines returning to their home

place to find them," said naval off,
Ger on board.
Saved BY Good Luck
Now that the American ship has
completed her memorable voyage ii
\ is possible to tell how good luck prob
ably saved her from destruction on

| speed during the night with the coast
of Ireland and its submarine-infested
waters still in the distance, the IS.
o. s." calls of ships in distress came
| to the wireless operator of the st.
Louis. A ship had been torpedoed
| about 75 miles ahead OF the st. Louis
and directly in her path. Soon an
other. call for help showed that an
other steamer had met the same fate
| hundred miles south. while later a
third told of the destruction of a
British boat far to the westward out
of the war zone, and in the path the
st. Louis had travelled.
| The ST. Louis arrived off the bar
of the Mersey before dawn. There
was no pilot boat at hand and the
American liner was compelled to
steam outside the bar. where 1t was
known German submarine had been
working the night before until

REQUEST TO THE LADIES

The local Red Cross workers are
making an earnest plea for more
helpers; for ladies' who will give
three and half hours of their time
any afternoon in the week to go to
the local sewing rooms and help get
the bandages, pajamas, etc., ready
for shipment.
One shipment has already been
made to headquarters at Seattle and
the ladies were highly complimented
on their work, but along with tbe
compliments came the very urgent
request for more and the soonerft the
better. 1t is impossible for then to
accomplish the desired amounh of
work unless some more ladies will
consent to give some of their time
to this work.
At the meeting Wednesday after
noon there we're only six workers
present and at this rate little head
way can be made. There are four
sewing machines for use and every
thing is furnished but the ladies and
their thimbles. Don't wait until to-
morrow, but go to the phone i'm
mediately and call Mrs. F. G. Christ
at number 144 and tell her what
afternoon of the week you will give
to Red Cross sewing. The hours are
from 1.3O to p. m. each day of the
week except Saturday. You will en-
joy the work and have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that you are doing
"your bit.:'
