HARD SURFACE ROADS MUST
COME.

It is predicted by people in
touch with highway work that
the close of the war is going to
see nationwide movement for
better roads. Pennsylvania re-
Gently voted by four to one
majority for a $50,000,000 bond
issue for roads. Illinois sanction
ed $60,000,000 issue for the
same purpose. Now Minnesota
is talking of borrowing $l000,-
100000. These sums seem enor-
nous. But we are coming to
realize that the old theory
whereby a state would set aside
a million or so a year for trunk
line highways amounted to but
little. OF course large sums
were spent in local taxation. But
much of this money was drib-
bled away IN unscientific meth,
DDS. We are in the position of a
manufacturer who suddenly
awakes to the fact that his pro-
duction is costing him very high,
because his appliances are anti
quated. Spending a few dollars
here and there does not remove
the fundamental defects of the
machinery.
You can't produce food eco
nonically on a farm, the outlet
of which is a rough, sandy, mud
dy or rutty road. Either the
farmer has to sell that food at
lower figure, or it is going to in
crease the living cost of it to the
consumer to large degree. Fur
thermOre, good roads help settle
the help question. When trucks
can make a quick journey with
produce to the nearest railroad
station, the farm help get back
quickly to the farm. A farm in
a good roads district can be run
on less labor. Even if all our
states should carry out good
roads developments on the scale
already undertaken by seevral,
it would not spend / cent of our

THE RED CROSS IN
BELGIUM.

In addition to caring for

American Red Cross is doing a
vast amount Of humanitarian
work among the civilians of the

should 'be particularly interest
ing to Americans to know what

we therefore quote from the
January issue of the Red Cross
Magazine as follows:

Avoid RroodIno.

1t is a salutary thing to regret past
errors and sincerely resolve not to fall
into them again. but it is a foolish and
most dangerous thing to brood over
mistakes we have made. sins we have
committed. Brooding cannot possibly
lead to healthy-minded action. Its
tendency, rather is to develop state
of mind that may pass over into in
sanity. Yet many people indulge in
this dangerous luxury of brooding. Par
ticularly is this likely to be the case
with people to whom life has not been
as kind as it might have been.

The United States and Spain are the
only countries which produce both
cane and beet sugar in any consider
able quantity The development Of
the beet-sugar industry In the United
States has been one of the great ag-

OF this country. From 1893 the beet

increased from $4,000 tons to approx.

two darkies bad scare, besides burn
ing one of them slightly about the

longed to the Allison Furniture
company.
The truck ran dry of gasoline at
the corner of VIM and Mccoy streets,
so they got a gallon can Of gas and
Will did the filling act while Minor
held a lantern. In the midst of the
operation there was a flash and a

long. The car caught fire and suffer-
cred some damage to the upholstering,
besides having the engine put out Of
business, but the fire department saw
ed serious damage to the truck.

that being deprived of ones liberty

He presented a new schedule OF
wages to give each man 81 addi-
fional for each month employed in the
department up to five months. which
would put every man who had been
in the service six months or longer
$40 per month. This, he showed,
would cost the city only $40 per
year, in case every man in the nine
petitioners was entitled to the full
increase. He declared that, because
Of occasional normal changes in the
department, probably not all Of the
men would be entitled to the whole
increase at any one time.
After discussion ended, Mayor
Sheppard called for motion, but
there was only silence. In response
to inquiry Mr.. Horton stated that he
was reluctant to make motion IN

men a graduated increase. The re-
suit of the vote by reclamation was
uncertain. and Mr.. Horton called for
an aye and nay vote, which was or
dered. and which resulted as follows:
Nay-Burke, Warren, Poole, and
Mashburn.
Aye-HOrton.
Mayor Sheppard then proposed that
the chairmana of the fire committee
report to the chief of the department
the result of the meeting, and explain
that the lack of finances was the sole
reason for refusing the request.
81 was in favor at first of granting
this raise" said he; 81 thought it a
good thing. But think, after full ex-
planation and consideration Of the
city's financial condition, the members
of this council could not have done
much else. There was no threat on
the part of the fremen, and l think
they should know that we would be
glad to make the increase, but for the
fact that the city's condition does
not authorize it,"
A motion instructing the report to
the chief was put and carried unan-
imously and council adjourned.
Chief Naylor stated after the action
of council that he would undoubtedly

lose several of his best men because
of the failure of the raise to go
through. He has recently recruited

fears that these will be the first to
leave the department.
