Lloyd-George Tells Railroad
Men They Must Resume
Work Before Arbitration.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Premier Lloyd
George Wednesday informed the de-
putation of transport workers who cal
led upon him as Intermediates in the
railroad strike that it was impracti-
ca BILE to continue negotiations until
the railroad men resumed work. Hopes
had earlier been entertained that a
compromise ending the strike might
be reached.
After the failure of the conference
between the deputation of transport
workers and Lloyd George and his
aides, it was announced that the same
deputation of transport workers, &C
companied by the executive officials
of the National Union of Railway Men,
would meet with the premier at S:45
p. m. This meeting also was fruitless
and the conference will be resumed
tomorrow.

When the Sun Was Blue.

A blue sun has been recorded only
once. That was in August, 1888, in
Java, says the Kansas City Star. A
day or two before there was very VIC
lent eruption of a large volcano about
a hundred miles from Batavia. The
eruption ended with an explosion in
which a range of mountains was de-
stroyed, vast cavity being left in it's
place, more than a thousand feet deep
at one point. Billions of tons of rocks,
mud and dust were thrown high in the
air and the sun was obscured over a
large area. At Batavia the darkness
became so deep that street lamps had
to be lighted in the middle of the after
noon. That condition prevailed until
toward sunset. Then the volcanic
cloud began to clear away, leaving the
sun visible. Instead, however, of 1t
being red, as it usually is when view
ed through a smoke cloud, it appeared
as a magnificent deep blue disk, re-
naming that color until it sank be
low the horizon. The phenomenon
was seen by everyone within 80 or 40
degrees of the equator.

CAME DIRECT FROM HEAVEN
Pretty Belief Existing in India Con-
corning the Origin of the Beau
tifuI Emerald.

Scientists say that the emerald'S
lovely grass-green color is derived from
a compound of silica, alumina, beryllia
magnesia, soda, water and some organ
ic matter unknown; others say that
it is simply a compound of carbon
and hydrogen resulting from organic
matter; but the ancient inhabitants Of
India knew better than the modern
scientists. They believed the emerald
came from heaven.
Says Forbes in his "Oriental Me-
moirs:" "A person was watching
swarm of firef1ies in an Indian grove
one moonlight night. After lowering
a time in the moonbeams, one particu-
lar freely. more brilliant than the rest,
alighted on the grass and there re-
NAMED. A spectator, struck by it's
fiXity and approaching to ascertain
the cause, found not an insect, but an
emerald, which he appropriated and
wore in ring, and ever after the In
dams believed that the fireflies were
sacred insects which upon dying on the
grass turned to emeralds for the adorn-
ment of man and the glOriicatiGn Of
Buddha."
That is perhaps the reason why the
priests of Buddha regard the emerald
with such generation. Of course no
FREELY can now make an emerald, but
emeralds certainly do make the money

CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
manufacturing Public No Longer Re.
CARDS Good Roads as Speedways
for Fortunate Neiqhbors.

The public's conception of "good
roads" has undergone a radical change
in the last two years.
Prior to the entry of the United
States into the world war, the non
motoring American public, more often
than not, thought good roads were adj
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars,
writes e. A. Williams, Jr., president
of large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were I'M
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
struction and upkeep of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits so far as they could see.
The war merely fastened what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years; it furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor in the economic life of the coun-
fry.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as "speedways''
for the motoring "aristocracy." It has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors,
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation Of trucks. It's
vision has been brOadened; it sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from a combination of these factors
benefits which have a direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table of the consumer;
it sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con-
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
truck and it's ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
lies conception Of how roads should
be built also has undergone change.
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average mans
idea of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres
emit; the engineer, as result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper-

fence, knows and has known the i'm
pOrtance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows, is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however. do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is just what we are coming to
in road building. For years it has been
customary for county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham
pered by lack of funds, and made.
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states in which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day,
hauling gravel or stone in a more or
less haphazard fashion for the con.
struction of roads; upon their efforts
and those of limited force Of hired
workers depends the maintenance OF
the community's highways.

ANY HOG CHOLERA IN YOUR
COUNTY?

Madison, Wis, July 81: Hog cholera
has secured a foothold this month in
certain counties in this state, so the
veterinarians connected with the State
Department of Agriculture report, and
these officials fear that unless prompt
action be taken at once by farmers,
breeders, and veterinarians serious loss
will ensue.
The counties in which the disease has
been found this month are Buffalo,
Chippewa, Columbia, Crawford, Dane,
Dunn, Eau Claire, Grant, Green,
Greenlake, Iowa, Jefferson, Milwaukee,
Pepin, Rock, Sank, and Shawano,-17
counties. The Department of Agri
culture is deeply concerned over the
progress of the disease, and local vet
erinarians in the counties named have
been instructed to placard every in
fected farm. Farmers are advised not
to visit farms where the disease is
known to exist, and are requested to
report Immediately to local veterinar
ians or the Department of Agriculture
any signs of disease among their hogs.
If Wisconsin is to be saved loss from
hogs mounting millions it is absolutely
necessary that farmers cooperate
promptly with the State Authorities
whenever and wherever the disease
shows itself.

FEW OWE FAILURE TO FATE
Unjust in Blaming the Fact on
Circumstances.

Gle who is bitter is beaten. This is
distilled from life" said a wise OBJ
server Of his kind, writer in Philadel-
phia Ledger remarks.
Often one meets the man who has
become soured by his own life through
bis own fault-though he blames it all
on the chances and circumstances of
destiny.
He will not admit that the hand of
a bad habit dragged him down or
kept him from rising; that he made a
misstep or took the wrong turn Of
the road.
He prefers to charge impersonal fate
with his personal failure.
Bat he had the same right to strug-
gle and win that we all have. The
man whom he regards with envy had
to prove that the stuff was in him,
against odds.
The old proverb says that fortune
favors the brave-but that saying
really means that fortune plays no ia
vorites and confers her gifts only upon
those who fight, and fight hard.
Success is not hereditary. We must
qualify on our own merit. Any fool
can inherit money and be parted from
it quickly. The respect Of the COM
n,unity, which is life's chief reward,
goes to him who earns it on his own
account. In that continuing effort the
fragrant memory of noble family ira
Qition and pious and honest par
entage is valuable asset and a great
inspiration.
