going into Kansas City compels mo-
florists to drive over considerable
stretches of very bad roads which be-
sides being harmful to the car are
very disagreeable to passengers.
Changes in Trail.
Changes in the old routes have beeu
made for the purpose of avoiding hills,
stretches of road thru the sandy bot
toms close to the river and steep hills.
South of st. Marys the trail will go
on the south side of the river to Bel
vue. In so doing seven railroad cross
ings will be avoided and consider
able stretches of road thru the sandy
territory close to the river where in
dry weather the sand becomes SO
loose and deep as to be almost i'm
passable except by extremely tedious
and rather dangerous driving. Loose
sand is almost as dangerous as mud
to drive thru.
1917 Bad Sand in Spots.
Many motorists who have had some
experience with the sand in the bot
toms would never make some of the
trips unless there was some way of
getting around the sand without too
wide a detour. 1t is by finding new
ways around these places that Nagle
says the Midland trail will prove of
great value.
Fourteen and one-half miles east of
Topeka, instead of turning south to go
to Stull, the trail will continue east
one and one-half miles before turning
into Stull. Two very steep hills will
be avoided by this change in route.
Change at Lawrence.
At Lawrence, instead of going out
Eleventh street, on the way to Eudora,
the trail will go out Thirteenth street
past the Oak Hill cemetery and con-
meet with the old road four miles east
of Lawrence, continuing to within
three miles west of Eudora, where 1t
will turn to the south for one-half
mile straight into Eudora from the
west.
In western Kansas the trail has been
rerouted and marked from Osborne TO
Stockton and south to Plainville
Besides Albert Maggie of Topeka, the
other commissioners for the Midland
trail in this territory are W. F. Hughes,
OF Beloit; Frank McIvor, of Hoxie /;
w. w. Dillwood, of Beloit, and L. F.
Davidson, of Glasco,

Their, Keeps Fires Burning.

Three men from one family who
have entered the army service are the
sons of DIR. s. G. Stewart, Robert Stew
art. James Stewart and Samuel Stew
art. All three of the sons are officers,
and two of them medical officers
Doctor Bob" as the eldest is
Familiarity known in Topeka, is at
work as a medical officer in base
hospital at a camp in Georgia. His
work is chiefly surgical, and the hos
pital constantly receives cases OF APP
pendicitis, hernia, ETC., that have to
be cured before the soldier-is ready
for service. His wife. daughter of
former Governor Stubs. and their
little daughter are diving near the
camp. Captain Stewart expects to be
sent abroad soon.
DIR. Jim Stewart, second son of DR..
S. G. Stewart, has been overseas for
some time. and has been engaged in
patching up the wounded from the
great drive that has been in progress
for some weeks. He has been in the
thick of the fighting in which Ameri-
can troops are engaged on the west
ern front. He is also an officer in the
medical section of the army. Mrs. ].
B. johnson. of the Devon. has lately
received word from her son. Corp. B.
c. johnson, who is with the troops in
France, that he had lately seen DR..
Jim Stewart. both being on duty in
/ the 1TOIl lIncS VI Tile llSAtAn6- hc
two men have been friends from their
boyhood.
Samuel Stewart, the youngest of the
three soldier sons of DR.. s. G. Stewart,
enlisted the day that war was declared
by the United States. He was offered
a commission as first lieutenant in
the regular army, but at the request OF
some of his comrades in the battery he
remained with the company in which
he enlisted, accepting a second lieu
tenancy. He has since. however. been
promoted to the rank of first lieuten-
ant. He left Camp Merritt some time
ago for France.
The loyalty of the three Stewart
men is part of their heritage from a
soldier father, who is a veteran of the
civil war.
