INFLUENCE OF BETTER ROADS
Effect on Value OF Rural Property
Stated In Letter Written by
Bank President.

The influence of road improvements
on the value of rural property was
stated In a letter recently sent to the
Manufacturers Record by the presi-
dent of the Baltimore Commercial
bank, who wrote: around my home
town in Virginia property could be
bought three years ago for $50 to $50
an acre. We put fine road several
miles through that county, and today
you cannot buy anything for less than
500, and some is held at $3.50 per
acre."

BACK UP THE SOLDIER BOYS
Henry Allen Gives Some Sound Ad-
vice to Students at the Kansas
State University.

Military training, which is now COM
pulsory for all men students at the
University Of Kansas, was approved
emphatically by Henry j. Allen of
Wichita in an address to students OF
the University recently.
IF the war ends in 1919, as | think
it will, and as those over there think
1t WILL" said Mr.. Allen, there is lit
tie likelihood Of college men now under
draft age having to go to the trenches.
But If the war continues longer the
colleges here will be emptied as they
have been in Europe.
You don't have to go to France,
wear a uniform, or even leave your
homes to help win the war. Do every
thing in your power to aid our boys
who are giving their lives for you and
civilization. Do what the government
asks of you in food conservation, in
aid to the Red Cross and in buying
Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
Although l am proud of the anti
cigarette law of this state, l am proud
of the fact that as Red Cross agent
| distributed cigarettes and tobacco
to the men in the trenches. You peo-
pie who are fighting against giving
cigarettes to soldiers in the trenches
do not understand conditions or you
would realize that the least we can do
for these men would be to give them
a cigarette when we can. The army
is school for war and is no place to
quarrel with man about his social
habits.

The potato silnge seemed to be as pal
atable as the best corn silage. With
hogs, lot fed approximately two
thirds of grain ration mixed in the
ratio of five pounds cOrnmeal, four
pounds Of middlings and one pound OF
tankage, with potato silage equal in
weight to- the grain fed, gave the best
results. The rate of gain, IA pounds
per head daily, was considered good.
Only 352 pounds of grain were re-
qulred for 100 pounds of gain. In this
lot one ton of silage saved grain to the
value of $25.22, figuring the cornmeal
at three cents pound. Potato silage
gives better results when fed to hogs
six months old or over.

MARY PIcKf0RD AT IRENE.

Mary Pickford's next appearance in
an Aircraft picture will be an adapta-
ton by Frances Marion OF "Amarilly
Of Clothes Line Alley" from the novel
by Belle X. Maniates. This is said
to be the funniest photoplay in which
Americas Sweetheart" has ever ap-
peared in, but while the story consists
principally of amusing incidents it is
fun of simple, homely philosophy and
endeavors to show that people from
the environments OF Clothes Line Alley
can never mix happily with the upper
stratum of society. The famous stars
last appearance on the screen was in
a dual role in stella Maris," in which
she scored a sensational triumph.
"Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley"
which will be the attraction at the
Irene theater on Sunday, August %,
is expected TO duplicate this success,
as the scenario is by the same author,
and the production was directed by
Marshall Neilan, the same combina-
ton responsible for "tSella Maris."
