TO FLY FROM CAIRO TO CAPE
IS PLAN OF BRITISH AIRMEN
Distance Is $500 Miles. Airdromes
Are Now Being Set Up Every Six
Hundred Miles.

LONDON, Eng.-Actual construc-
ton work already has been begun in
connection with the projected Cape
to Cairo air service, the British all
ministry announces. Airdromes are
being set up every 600 miles, the
present nonstop limit, from one end
of Africa to the other, the principal
ones being built at Cairo, Khartoum
and two in German East Africa, at
Kampla and Ujiii.
The route then passes into Rhode
STA and along the course of the rail
way to the Cape. Long before the
famous Cape to Cairo railway is in
operation it is confidently expected
that airplanes will be covering the
route on regular schedules. The dis
lance is $500 miles.

concentrations of the special highway
committee, would act in an advisory
capacity to the highway board and
would be its executive head. The
available funds would be immediate
ly allotted to the twelve congression-
al districts of the state and work
begun without delay according to the
plans formulated by the highway
board. Not less than 70 per cent. Of
the available funds would be spent
for permanent paving, while the re-
naming 30 per cent. would be spent
for grading, etc.
There will be one if not two other
highway bills before the legislature
for consideration. Senator ". P An
drews, and Judge T. Z. Patterson,
Of the state highway commission, are
drawing a bill, one feature Of which
is a commission of 12-one from
each congressional district. 1t is re-
ported that the budget committee
appointed by the legislature and
which has been looking into state
affairs will also have a highway bill.
Altogether, there is no probability
of a dearth of highway bills for con-
sideration by the solons when they
assemble in June.

BABY BORN IN ST. LOUIS

Station Officials Named Little Fellow
Gateway Griggs" Before Par

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Baby Griggs, a
bouncing ten-pound boy, will enjoy

largest union railway station in the
United States.
The event occurred the other af-
ternoon while it's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. W. Griggs, were passing
through Kansas City from Appleton,
Mo, en- route to their home in Mar

The station officials could not bear
to see Baby Griggs leave them with
out being christened some sort of a
name, so heads were put together
and at last a suitable name was
found, To employees Of the station
Baby Griggs will always be known
as Gateway Griggs.

The VALUE OF FARM
LAND IS INCREASING
ACCORDING TO FEDERAL DE.
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
AVERAGE is $74 AN ACRE.

WASHINGTON.-Farm lands in
the United States are steadily in
creasing in value. The department of
agriculture reports the average grade
of pillow lands was worth about $74.31
per acre on March l this year, com
pared with S68.38 a year ago, $62.17
two years ago and $3.50 three years
ago.
Values show the greatest percent

In the Carolinas and Georgia and ex-

Arkansas. Small or no increases were
made in the New England states, the
Pacific states and Louisiana, Texas,
Kansas and Montana. Material in
creases were reported from Nebras-
ka and South Dakota.
Iowa's blowing lands stand first in
value, her average being $169 per
acre, followed by Illinois with $144,
California with 1921 and Indiana
with 500. Alabama reports the low
est average value of plow lands, at
$24 per acre, and Mississippi next,

COMMITTEE PLANS
STATE ROAD SYSTEM
COST WOULD BE $4,000, 900 AND
A SPECIAL TAX ON LAND
OWNERS PROPOSED.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The formal re-
port of the special highway commit
tee appointed by authority of the
last general assembly to investigate
and report on a feasible system of
state highway has just been sub
mitted to Governor Dorsey and has
Oeen given out. The report contains
recommendation that were agreed
upon by the special committee after
the public hearings held a few weeks
ago in the state capitol, when the
various propositions advanced by
good-roads promoters were thorough
ly canvassed and discussed.
Is Years to Complete System.
The committee has prepared a bill
to be presented at the next general
assembly, says the report, this meas
ure providing for the creation of a
state highway commission Of three
members who shall hold office for
six years, one member retiring ev-
cry two years. The bill also contem-
plates the establishment of a state
highway system which shall connect
all county seats, with supplementary
roads to reach the communities not
on the trunk line highways. Such
system as IS proposed would include
1880 miles of state highways
The ultimate cost of such a sys-
tenn would be about $4,000, 1000, ac-
cording to the estimate of the com
mittee, the cost per mile being from
$4,000 20 $4,000. Motor vehicles
licenses would bring in approximate
ly 100000 per year, according to
the new scale of prices recommend
ed by the committee. 1t is also plann-
ed to use about $8,000,000 of fed
eral road funds to be available in
Georgia during the next three years
and to be augmented by an equal
amount from the counties of the
state securing federal aid.
The committee proposes to build
highways at the rate of about 12O
miles per year to start with, increas-
ing to 800 miles per year as the pro-
gram is developed. This, it is declar-
ed, would result in the completion
of the statewide system in about IS
years.
Land Owners Would Pay.
Special tax levies on lands contig-
uous to state highways are also sug-
gested by the committee as methods
of raising revenue for good road
construction. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that such levies would entail
referendum votes.
The committee also recommends
the passage of a constitutional
amendment allowing the issuance of
state bonds for road construction,
this being impossible at present I'M
der the provisions of the state con-
stitution.

Anyway, Joe Barnhill, colored, was

the alleged stealing of that amount

"thirty thou" were piled up on the
