BROADEN ON ART AND MUSIC
Establishment Of Such Departments in
Libraries Of Large and Small
Towns IL Suggested.

In small cities and towns where
there are no art museums and no
schools Of music, there is a great
need for the very things they would
supply, says the FL Paso Times.
There is a way to get them without
any great expense or trouble. That
way lies through the establishment
~ such departments in the public
6brsries, whether large or small.
Many libraries in the smaller
sities already have the beginnings Of
very excellent art and music collec-
IONS. They have not only books
about music and art, but collections
and musical scores, mounted photo
graphs and prints, and these collec-
lions are circulated just as the
books are.
One library has a music room
where borrowers may try over scores
n they wish. The room is sound
ErOOf, 80 that patrons in other parts
ef the library are not disturbed
when the piano is in use.
Such collections do not have to
begin on a large scale. A small be-
ginning would open the way for
greater interest in these things, and
abe department would grow as soon
as people realized that it was there
Ser them to use. Everyone interest
I'd and able ought to do his or her
share to further this branch of COM
nunity education and service.

name legitimately. In England and the

EXPENSE OF IMPROVED ROAD
Manifest Advantage. as Well az NeeeS-
city for Good Roads Seems to
Be Educating People.

Within very recent memory the eI-
pense of good roads has been bitterly
opposed by farmers. The increasing
tax rate, due to many causes, has been
viewed with the greatest alarm. With
In the last year, the manifest advan-
tage, as well as the actual necessity, OF
better rural highways seems to be
gradually educating the public to the
viewpoint that good roads are an ac-
compartment to the changing times In
the agricultural world. The only ques-
ton now is whether or not with all
the vast sums expended for road Inn
provement. we can get good roads soon
enough.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-12-13

himself that the policy Of the state
highway commission Is the correct
one. Let US consider first of all the
expensive type Of road construction,
such as concrete, or the best grade
Of macadam. This type Of road will
cost approximately $4,000 per mile.
and let us suppose that the cost OF
construction is met by issuing 20
year Az per cent bonds. The annual
expense on account of this first cost
would be about $3.50 per mile. And
these roads will need some mainte-
nance, possibly not much over $50 per
mile per year. This brings the total
cost up to about $3.50 annually per
mile for the expensive or so-called per-
manent type OF road.
Now take a well-constructed gravel
road and the cost for this road will
run about $4,000 per mile for con-
struction, figuring again on a basis Of
20-year Az per cent bonds and the
annual account for first cost will be
about $40 per mile. The cost for
maintaining these roads, II properly
done, runs up pretty high, and it can
be we'll done with an expenditure Of
about $240 per mile per year.
This makes total annual cost then
for the surfaced road of approximate
ly $3.50 annually per mile. A COMPARE
son of these two annual costs shows
$3.50 per mile per year in favor of the
cheaper roads.

PAPER FIBER UNIFORMS.

The clothing Of some German
prisoners taken by the British was
Of such a peculiar appearance that
the Engishmen decided to analyze
it. The uniforms the officers wore,
says Popular Science Monthly, were
found to have been made of cloth
woven from leather fiber, while the
enlisted men wore uniforms made
from paper fiber. The fabrics re-
semble the regulation army cloth
used for uniforms.

Concerning nay Fever.

There is no such thing as a rose
cold. That affiiction Of early sum-
mer comes from various grasses, such
as johnson grass, NUT grass, Bermu-
da grass, and oats, and some trees,
particularly red cedar and black wal
nut. These grasses and trees are
pollenated only by insects, and 1t Is
the rule In hay fever science that the
disease is usually caused by the pollen
that goes by breeze rather than by
bees.

The campaign for the raising of

Y. M. c. A.. began last week. The
total amount to be raised is thirty
nine million. OF this amount Colo
RADIO is supposed to raise one mil
lion one hundred thousand dol
lars. One million dollars will be
expended by the Y. NJ. G. A. and
the one hundred thousand dollars
will be expended by the Y. w. C. A.
The entire amount will be expended
in bettering the moral conditions
along the battle lines in Europe
and around the camps in America
The Y. M. G. A. is establishing huts
and hotels in Europe where the
soldiers can meet their friends,
write letters, attend religious ex-
ercises and enjoy innocent games
and sports. These huts are to be
managed in competition with the
ever increasing immoral conditions
that surround the battle lines. The
Y. w. c. A. will use their money in
building hostess houses around
the camps in America. These hos
tess houses have in general way
the same object in view us the huts
and hotels in Europe.

as it would be to leaving off the

Inspiring, and the Democracy for
which we are so gallantly fighting

the total we'll into twelve thousands
Over twenty loads Were on the

interesting sight. Some of the corn
came from thirty Or forty miles

The southside faianers are fast
coming to realize thht broom corn
is one Of the best tkings they can
plant. nearly always giving them
fair yield and very good price.
The price this year ranges from $500
ton down and those who have
corn to sell will reap very good
profit. Buyers tell us that the
south country is full Of corn yet
and that we may expect to see sew
cral just such days as Wednesday
all streets lined with broom corn
if the weather stays open little
longer.
We have called your attention
to it SO many times that it may not

Reverend Wright Makes His An
nual Address To -he High NJ
School
The annual address OF Rev. Wiley
X. Wright, the Presbyterian min
lister was received with enthusiasm
by the students. He gave a timely
message on the TWO IDEAL: sue
CESS AND SERVICE.
!, For the first he sighted the essen
tials which the great Lord North
cliffe set forth. These were punctu-
sality.4slalitness courage, aptimism.
dependableness, thoroughness, pre-
paredness, foresight truth energy
and work and the power of concen-
tration An energetic person who
had succeeded well in life said, Il
am not egOistic enough to be con-
tented"
The second and supreme ideal is
true service In other words. it
is the conquering of ones self for
the benefit of others. A soldier in
the trenches said. III | have to go
west shall go proudly and quiet
ly.' This was his illustration of
the strength and daring which
comes from sense of service.
To sum up the high ideal he said,
make the most Of yourself so that
you may be OF service to others; for
bigger and greater than s1fccess is
service" Then, in substance. Great
er love hath no man than this, that
man lay down his life for his
