The Strike Situation
FRIDAY

INDIANAPOLIS - Judge An derson of the United States dis trict court this morning issued an injunction, restraining the officials of the United MineWork- CTS from striking tonight. A hearing on the order is set fol November 8. The order enioins the officials from starting or en- couraging the strike on the broad general grounds that disaster threatens the country and that the strike would tie up the na- tion's transportation system.

rooms, ETC., but if farming will moi
permit these simple necessities it is
going to be mighty hard matter to
try to talk the boys into remaining
on the farm.
And another thing that works to
the disadvantage of the boy on the
farm question is the matter of roads.
The boys like to run around" and
meet acquaintance. They would
like to attend the shows, entertain
ments and churches in their nearest
town, but about half the time the
roads are either so muddy or so rough
that travel is difficult, and the time
taken to make the trip is so great that
they cannot spare it. With a few
simple conveniences, farm life could
be made equal to life in the city-a
few hundred dollars would pay the
bill, and leave us simply up to the
matter of better roads.
With a 365-day road passing the
farm, when evening came the young
folks could jump into the jitney and
be in town in a few minutes, instead
of being delayed in lodging mud
holes, sand pits and ruts, and the trip
would be a pleasure. Do you not
think that the boys would be lot
more apt to stay on the farm under
such conditions?
And when it came to the matter of
crops or hauling coal or
other supplies needed on the farm
the jitney with trailer would ac-
complish the work in fraction of the
time and with twice the pleasure.
What takes the boy from the farm
is the pleasure that goes with his
work. In the shop or factory or Of
flee he has everything with which to
work; modern improvements make
his work more or less pleasure,
and whenever conditions obtain on
the farm he is going to give his pref
erence to the farm.
While, after a lifetime spent in a
shop, we are inclined to believe that

THE SIXTY MILLION
GOOD ROADS BONDS

Increasing numbers of motor cars
in Kansas make it possible to provide
60 million dollar good roads pro-
gram, to be paid out of special taxes
on automobiles. Such a project was
submitted to the people of Illinois and
carried by majority of to in the
general election. Kansas can not lag
behind other states in road improve
ment, since good roads mean more
than any other thing in the develop
ment of the state. Farmers particu-
larly must get into better connection
with consumers, dealing with them
more directly, and there is nothing
that offers so much help towards this
aim of farmers as motor trucks. The
individual farmer may bring his stuff
to market in his truck, or half dozen
may join, buy 6-ton truck and deal
regularly with consumers, making
daily deliveries in many cases. The
traffic would work both ways.
Any development of the kind de-
ponds entirely upon reliable hard
roads. This is not small undertake
ing, but the greatest internal i'm
provement ever undertaken by the
state. A state bound issue of 60 mil
lion dollars requires constitutional
amendment. The bond issue running
for 20 or 80 years would anticipate
the annual automobile taxes, which
must pay the interest and sinking
fund. 1t may be necessary to gradu-
ate the automobile tax, according to
the size of the car.
If a 60 million dollar bond issue
seems large, the answer is that a
statewide road plan is contemplated,
not one that is confined to few coun-
ties. The bonds would be issued as
fast as the roads were built. The
authorization of the full bond issue
means that such an amount might be
issued, provided a corresponding
program of road improvements was
carried thru, but the authorization OF
the whole issue would assure every
county of share in road develop
ment.
The plan has been we'll thought out,
and while it is not original with Kan
sas, it suits the needs of this state,
whose credit is such, with no bonded
debt, that the interest rate would be
as low as possible. There is no more
important subject to come before the
legislature than this of systematic
road improvement.-Topeka Capital.

Keeping the Boys
on the Farm

COLUMNS have been written on
v keeping the boy on the farm, and
most writers have but visionary idea
Of the matter.
A boy is human being, and there
fore has the desires common to other
mortals. Being an American boy he
has an idea that about all he has to
do to achieve his desires is to go
ahead and do it, and his ability to do
this is what is taking the boys from
the farms.
Editors may write and preachers
may preach. Parents may implore
and educators educate, but until liv-
ing conditions on the farm are made
more pleasant the boys, and not only
the boys, but the girls, will continue
to flock to the cities.
The boys and girls of today can
not understand why it is the people
of the towns and cities that have
the comforts of life, while the farmer
does not, and they reason that if the
people of the towns and cities are
better provided for, it is only natural
that they wish to cast their lot there.
1t is all right to talk about the free
dom Of the country, but we believe
the average boy had rather have a
steam heated room in town than all
the freedom of the farm, had rather
read by the glow of the electric light
than the coal oil lamp even if his
employer is exacting at times.
The solution of the boy on the farm
problem is in making the farm just
as pleasant for him as he would be
in the city. The average farmer will
tell you that it is out of the question
to have city conveniences such as
electric light, furnace heat, bath
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-01-16

the boy makes a mistake in leaving
the farm for the work Of the city, in
the matter Of health alone, we figure
that the average boy will have to
learn by experience, and the only
way to hold him is by making his sur
roundings such that he will want to
stay.
The 365 day roads will mean more
boys on the farms of Kansas, and the
sooner the program is carried out the
sooner results will be obtained.

ROAD FUNDS BASED ON FULL
COUNTY VALUATION.

The entire property of county
which was listed for taxation should
be used in determining the amount
that the various counties are entitled
to receive from the State roads fund.
This opinion was given ROdman
Wiley, Commissioner of Public Roads,
by Assistant Attorney General D. o.
Wyatt, in constituting Section 435x-18
of the Kentucky Statues. Commits
sioner Wiley wanted to know wheth-
er the assessed valuation of the prop
erty of the various counties is to be
construed as the valuation Of the
property listed for the purposes of
State taxation, or whether it is con-
fined to that class of property which
is subject to the county or local tax
alton.
The purpose of the section, Wyatt
says, was to classify the various
counties of the State for the purpose
of participating in the State roads
fund so as to assist the poorer coun-
ties in carrying on the road work
upon the State aid plan.

uLrTERACY CAMPAIGN OPENS
IN BOURBON.

The campaign for raising the sum
OF $500 as Bourbon county's quota
In the Statewide illiteracy move
ment, was inaugurated in this city
and county yesterday through the
City Federation of Clubs. Mrs. Frank
p. Lowry, Of Paris, is chairman for
Bourbon county in this campaign.
Mrs. Lowry divided the city and
county into districts, each having q
chairman and assistants, In order
that systematic campaign may be
conducted and completed in a few
days.
1t is the purpose of the promoters
Of the plan, of whom Mrs. Cora viii
son Stewart is the leader, to ask the
people of the State for the sum OF
100000, to be used for the purpose Of
Graduating illiteracy in the State
and bringing the old Commonwealth
up to the standard in the matter Of
education.
The ladies representing the vari-
Gus clubs have BEEN busily engaged
in making their rounds, and 1t is safe
to say that the quota assigned to
Bourbon county will be raised in a
very short time, as it is well known
that Bourbon county has far exceed
ed its quota in every campaign in
the past.

BUICK. 1920 MODELS
Show Marked Improvement In Re-
finement and Construction.
Prices Announced.

With the announcement Of our
new 1920 model "K" series, Says
Mr.. c. S. Ball, local dealer, and the
marked improvement in refinements,
brings our new series before the buy
ing public with an instant stamp of
approval-and invariably the express
sion is made, how such beautiful
types and thoroughly constructed
models can be manufactured at the
prices announced, with the high
high cost of materials and labor en-
tering into them.
To still maintain the 1919 price
upon some models with only slight
increase upon the coupe and sedans,
coupled with increased quality and
improvements is the result of strong
purchasing power and careful consid-
Grafton ON the part of the Buick
Motor Company. Prices instantly
become a secondary consideration in
comparison with the different models,
as hundreds of these models have al
ready been sold by dealers upon a
slight unseen plan, buyers having
complete confidence in the Buick Mo-
tor Company to manufacture a series
of models retaining the Buick high
standard of quality first, price later.
True to all former policies and
backed by their integrity, There is
not a single part entering into the
construction of the 1920 Buick car
that is not as good as, or better
than the same part used at any pre-
vious time" and further that the de-
sign has been improved and quality
elevated. These model 'K' series
excel in finish and all materials, in
GLIDING upholstery and every compo-
nent part that enters into their con
|, struction.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE IN BOUR.
BON COUNTY FOR COLORED
TEACHERS.

Beginning August 4, there will be
conducted at the Western High
School Building, Paris, KY, a Teach
ers' Institute of some three or four
weeks.
This course of instruction, under
experts, will be given free, with the

riculture, in domestic science and
art, and those experienced in all
phases of educational work, will con-
duct the work of this Institute.
The plan is to give the same char
acter of work that teachers would
receive should they journey to some
far off educational center, at a great
expense.

c. Button, of the Department of Ed,
ucation, Frankfort, KY, DR.. Lewis
B. Moore, Howard University, Wash
ington, D. c., and Supt. J. B. Cay,

every teacher, city and county, who
has not found it possible to go away
to Summer school this Summer, to
enroll the first day to further pre-
pare himself or herself to do more
effective work as a teacher where
he or she may labor.
The sessions of the Institute are
not limited to teachers. Others, en-
gagged in community and club work
or any. other activities, may take ad-
vantage Of the meeting.
Remember there will be no tuition
charged; this Institute is absolutely

HARD AT WORK ON THE NEW
DAM FOR PARIS.

Have you been down to see the
work on the new DAM" is now the
leading question of the hour and day.
Work is progressing as fast as cir
cumstances will permit. A large
force of men are engaged in clearing
away the debris, mud, dirt and rock
from the bed of the old mill pool,
which has been pumped out ready
for the work. The work Of drilling
is being done by hand, the steam
drills that were ordered for the pur-
pose not having arrived.
There has been much speculation
as to the design and dimensions of
the new structure, so that the fol-
lowing data has been given out for
the information of the public: When
the preliminary work has been COM
pleted the solid rock will be exca-
waited to depth of twelve inches, to
serve as foundation for the dam
proper. The dam will be eighteen
feet at the base, with an additional
excavation of a three-foot channel
in the solid rock, extending length
wise in order to prevent any pene-
tration of water beneath the struct-
ure. The face or upper side of the
dam, will be vertical, the lower side
being concave, rounding at the top
to twelve inches. The extreme height
will be approximately nineteen feet
above the solid rock. The dam will
be built in four sections, having con-
struction joints at intervals of thir-
ty-two feet. The dam will be To-
Gated with reference to the old dam
in close proximity to the east end,
the end next to the plant of the Paris
Milling Co., but the west end will be
down the stream a distance of forty
seven feet from the old dam.
