cAPPER FOR HARD ROADS

Governor Capper, like other public
men who see the need Of progress in
everything, favors building hard
roads as a part of our plans when the
boys get home from Europe.
In a recent address on matters per-
tanning to after the-war problems,
among other things, he said the fol-
lowing about the necessity for hard
roads:
Fright along with honest markets,
with the whole square-deal program
the eliminating of every unnecessary
middleman, the shutting out of every
profteer and parasite preying on the
farming industry, and the fostering of
farmers cooperative enterprises
the war has shown US that we must
Immediately cheaper and simplify the
farms access to market by means of
good public roads. Cheap and quick
motor transportation of products
from and to the farm is coming. 1t is
to be our next big development 1t
is already here in localities having
good, all-the-year-round roads. 1t on
ly needs right conditions to spring up
anywhere. The war made this need
manifest. 1t has taught us we must
not depend so much on the railroads
for short hauls. Also it has taught

CHARLES oRYILLE DAVIS

Charles Orville Davis was born in
Pratt county, Kansas, September 20,
1894, and departed this life at the
home Of his father, C. o. Davis, in
this city December 2Sth, 1918.
AT the age of IA years Orville Davis
moved with his parents to Seward
county and located with them on the
farm northwest of the city where he
has labored industriously and was be-
ginning a career of a successful far
mer, having at the time of his death
had his fathers farm rented for the
coming season.
Mr.. Davis was united in marriage
to Miss Edna Nix September 25th,
1917, and to which union one child,
a daughter, was born July Goth, 1918.
Orville was highly respected and
beloved by those in his community
and with whom he was associated, for
he was an honest, upright young man
and stood for the best principles of
living. His passing will be keenly
felt among the young folks of his
neighborhood.
A private funeral was held at the
C. o. Davis home Sunday afternoon,
Elder Jas. M. Taylor of the Christian
church having charge, and burial was
made in the Liberal cemetery.
The sympathy of many go out to
the bereaved wife, parents, sisters
and brother, as it is they who will
miss him most.

us how to do big things in big way.
And now thru our necessity for find
ing employment for the millions of
men when they come home, it is pro-
viding the way for us to kill the pro-
verbal two birds with one stone. 1t
offers the way for employing thous-
ands of our men who have seen and
have repaired and have rebuilt many
of the magnificent roads of France,
in building good roads thruout our
big agricultural states. Good roads
have long been needed. Lack of labor
and lack of strong state and national
support have held them back. After
the war there need be no further de-
lay, for we shall have the labor
much of it skilled in rapid road con-
struction at the front. Our men have
seen the thousands of miles of good
highways in the agricultural sections
of France, Belgium and Germany. So
great bodybuilding program must
be put up near the head of the list. !"

FIVE HUNDRED MILES OF
HARD ROAD BOOSTERS

at was five hundred and fifty miles
of enthusiasm for good roads that we
found on our trip to Tucumcari, New
Mexico, to the preliminary meeting of
the boosters for the Camp Funston
Fort Bliss hard roads program" said
Mayor Frank Vincent in an informal
talk yesterday before the commission.
"The only thing these men of the
long distance could think of was
hard roads running through their
lands. From Hutchinson west to Ell
Paso the folks who understand the
true meaning of hard roads are for
this highway that will soon assume
national highway proportions.
"And the meeting here January 20
of delegates from every town along
the proposed route will be a great
thing for Hutchinson. The Tucum-
carl meeting was only the starter; the
Hutchinson convention will be truly
the mobilization camp of this nation
al highway"
Hutchinson had the honor of being
the first city in the United States
to hold meeting of good road men
planning an across the country high
way. That was on January 81, 1910,
when the delegates who dreamed the
New Santa Fe Trail met here. Now
just nine years later comes another
good roads meeting to Hutchinson,
planning a hard road that will serve
an entirely different section of the
county.-Hutchinson News.

ON HERoIsM RIGHT AT HOME

Suppose that friend of yours, or
even an enemy, be within a burning
house, and you could break in and
carry him out at the imminent risk of
your own life. Suppose you stood
back in the safety zone and excused
yourself from going in and saving
him, on the plea that you might per-
ish in the act.
Suppose that your friend were
drowning and you could swim to him
and help him ashore, at the risk of
your life, and instead of doing that
you stood there debating over the
danger to yourself.
In either of these cases, wouldn't
you be great old chump of friend?
But if, on the other hand, you took
complete stock of the danger and
braved it just the same, so save the
life of either friend or foe, then you
would stand as an equal to the mil
lions of soldiers on the battle line of
Armageddon, offering and giving
their lives so that others may live.
Now suppose that there is inhu-
enza in the home of friend in dire
need of help, and you could render
this help at the imminent risk of your
own life. If then you stood back in
the zone of safety and counted up the
danger, and refused to enter and
help, would you not be a yellow-liv-
cred coward--a Stacker, a traitor to
humanity, denier of Christian doc
trine?
You would.
And, in the way which an allwise
Providence has of adjusting things in
this world, the chances are that YOU
would be called upon to pay for your
cowardice with interest. For it is so
ordained in the divine law that when
ever we dodge a duty imposed by the
dictates of brotherly love, or throw
aside a burden rightfully belonging
to us, we always pay by having a
much heavier one laid upon us at a
less convenient time.
The point we were thinking of is
that duty is exactly the same, every
where; and heroism is no less heroic
when, in the humber affairs of life,
one person risks his dearest possession
for the sake of another. 1t takes
nerve to go forward in the clash and
tumult of battle, with thousands of
comrades. Let's never undervalue
that. But it takes more nerve to 90
forward without the beat of drum and
sound of fife, alone, into danger
that is exactly as great-that is, go
into home where deadly disease is
raging and do your simple duty there.
Several men and women whose
lives were as dear to them and to
those who loved them as the lives of
any others have gone into influenza
stricken homes and ministered to the
sick, and have paid for their heroism
with their lives. Hundreds in this
county and city have done the same
thing and come out unscathed.
Only a small percentage of the sol
diers who go into battle fall there

THEY'LL BE GLAD TO KNOW

Mr.. Roosevelt is out with the as
sertion that America had very little
part in winning this war, anyhow, and
should take a far back seat at the
peace table, and let the others do the
talking and deciding"
This will be joyful news to about
two million soldiers who helped drive
the Hun from France, a half million
sailors who swept the sea of subma-
rines, and a hundred million citizens
who gave their time, their money and
their work toward the winning of the
war Mr.. Roosevelt ought to be at
the wharf in New York as the boys
are coming in, wounded and well, and
tell them this to their faces. 1t would
make him very popular.-Kingman
