WAR A ROAD AID.
Returned Soldiers Boosters for
Hard Surface Highways.
Many Have Converted Their
Families to Cause.
WEATHER BRINGS HOME NEED
Fansler Says Rains Have
Taught Farmers a Lesson.
Muddy Roads Should Make
Shawnee Campaign Easy.
WEATHER BRINGS HOME NEEI

The war and the weather combined
have done several things of import in
Kansas according to statement made
today by J. A. Fansler, manager of
the Kapsas Good Roads association.
Incidentally this observation of Fans
ler's concerning the combination of
circumstances which means much to
the state is made almost on the eve
of the launching of one of the biggest
good roads campaign in the history
of the corn belt.
Ever since the flower of Kansas
youth crossed the seas to fight the
worlds battle in Europe" Fansler
said today, 1.-The people of Kansas
especially the fathers and mothers
and friends of the men-have been
receiving letters and notes from over
seas. And there was hardly letter
which failed to comment on the won
derfully hard roads of France and
on the way in which France and all
other European powers kept up their
roads,
Travelled Old Roman Roads.
These men overseas sometimes trav-
eled on the old Roman roads, the
highways over which the conquerors
of many centuries have marched vic
roads were hardly constructed for
hardy work. They were a military
as well as a civil necessity in that
land of perpetual drizzle.
1.-THE significance of this Is" de-
clares Fansler. that every man who
went overseas has come home firmly
imbued with the idea that the saliva
ton of a nation lies in is roads.
And here at home the weather has
taught the civil population the same
lesson,'t he continued. The winter
SHOWS made the roads impossible for
days at time this year. Sometimes
the farmers could barely get to town
for supplies on horseback. Coming in
buggy even If drawn by a team of
sturdy work horses was ALMOST impos-
sible.
Lesson This Spring.
"And then this spring the hard
rains ever a long period gave the
farmers another lesson in the need for
hard roads. And the same lesson was
taught to the city folk. for the city
merchant depends to a big extent on
the farmer for business.
81 expect the Shawnee county good
roads campaign to go over in big
shape this week" was Fansler's clos
ing remark.
Nor is Fansler the only person in
the city who has this expectation
Seven and more civic clubs have Joined
forces for the purpose of putting the
,, $4,000 drive over and every member
of these clubs is certain that the cam
| paign is to be a success.
The meeting of the team captains
and the workers at the Chamber OF
| Commerce Wednesday night is ex-
/ pected to put the finishing touches or
! the ardor of the campaign assault
troops. and Thursday morning the
foray for members and funds tc
make Topeka the hub of the state
will be under way.

Tractor Farming Undergoing
Boom in Middle West.
Gradually Getting Pace of Rap
idly Growing Auto Industry.
WAR PROVES TO Be BIG ASSET
Old-Fashioned Farmer Doesn't
Understand Machinery.
His Boy Learns Intricacies Dur
ing Military Training.

That tractor cultivation or power
farming is at the stage now that auto
mobile transportation was ten years
ago is the contention of the manager
of a Topeka truck concern. Up to
this time. progressive farmers in every
community have realized that the
tractor could do better and quicker
than horses the general run of farm
work, just as the wide-awake buyers
realized ten years ago that the horse
was back number for transportation
purposes. either for pleasure or busi-
ness.
The boys coming home from the
front will be our best salesmen." said
he. '"They know, even better than the
men who made them. what tractors
will do. They know that tractors did
a variety of work better and quicker
than could horses or mules and one
and all will be urging dad to buy a
tractor.
A. E f. Understands Machine.
"A year or so ago the average
farmer knew nothing about the me-
chanical end of the tractor. but now
there are literally thousands of boys
on the farms who learned to take
tractors apart and put them together
while they were in the army. so that
there is is an abundance of skilled
help always at hand.
THE second reason to believe that
the tractor business will boom this
year is the outlook for record crops,
which. at record prices, will furnish
the needed cash.
The high cost of feed has been q
matter of great concern to many OF
the large farmers who are realizing
that too much of their produce is be-
ing used to feed horses the year round
which are only used few months al
the best. They know that the tractors
can be kept in small shed when moi
in use at absolutely no expense. The
only time the tractor is an expense is
when it is actually in use. so that the
farmer who aims to get the most out
of his tractor will use it whenever
practicable"

Towns Need Advertising.
Every live town ought to have its
boosters. Every man ought to elect
himself a committee of one to learn
all about his home town and boost It..
There are good things being done
everywhere-things worthy of adver-

brings a new factory, or some other
desirable thing, and it never does any
harm. The fundamental idea of ad-
vertising is to make your goods at

Declaring that the attitude of pupil and teacher is wholly impersonal, Marie Josephine Byrne insists that she is not handicapped in teaching public speaking because she is a woman. With we'll known business men. lawyers and aspiring lawyers in her classes, the young woman, who is both pretty and popular, asserts that if a man wishes to make headway in his studies he is not influenced by the instructors sex.
 If he is bit diffident at the be- ginning it is soon overcome" she said in speaking of her work which has grown largely in the few weeks she has been in Phoenix. Business men have sought her for the purpose, she explains, of becoming more efficient in gathering their own forces together or to learn to develop boise which is of worth in meeting their superiors.
 "The underlying principles of public speaking are simple she said as she pointed out the growing tendency of public speaking in city developing as rapidly as Phoenix where men and women are frequently called upon to
