l. Sergt. Higginbotham was brought
a boy from Cuba in 1898 by a wealthy
American and sent to Lincoln lnsti-
tute. But the indoor ~sedentary life
of a student was irksome to him. He
Nrejoined the Army serving in the
25th Infantry and 9th Cavalry for the
most part in Asiatic territory being
in the states barely long enough to
WOO and win Miss Minnie Workman,
the premier nurse of Kansas City. In
February 1918 he was transferred to
the 349th Field Artillery and served
until April, when he vas assigned to
the French Motor Unit and organized
the 317th. In August 1918 he vas
transferred to the 153rd. Depot Brig
ade and organized the 50th Company,
where he served until after the armis-
tice was signed when December %,
1918 he was assigned Cavalry Ser
geant to the General Staff Wal Col
lege at the Washington, D. C. bar
racks. The first time in the history
of the Army that Negroes have serv-
ed at this post.
When the Government was making
Captains of the S~ergeants in the reg
ular army for Overseas service, Ser
geant Higginbotham was offered a
commission, but he strenuously de-
clined, it because he foresaw that if
he lived to return to America, he
would revert to his pre-war rank. He
preferred to hold it and advance grad
ually holding whatever rank this pro-
cess afforded him. Every inch of
his 6 #. 2 in. is a soldier. He is
thirty. seven years of age, an accom-
plished %linguist, delights in entertain
ing Missourians and calls himself a
plain fluent soldier. The barracks is
on a peninsula formed by the Poto'
mac River. one of it's smaller arms
and a canal. Just across from it are
the aviation fields from which period
ically ascend air and sea planes. Not
far away are battle ship docks. The
vicinity is beautiful.

ROAD BUILDING s. |
ACTIVITY GREAT
Get Your Picks, ShOvels, Teams,
Graders and Men and Take
Advantage of Feder-
jalrand State Aid

As shown from all over Kansas, To-
cal road organizations are getting
busy to take advantage Of the govern
ment's proffer to stand one-half the
expense of building good roads.
And now comes the state of Kan
SOS, through n resolution in the leg
islature, and purposes to give back
to the communities building good
roads, rs per cent Of the cost Of con-
struction. As we view the matter, If
a mile of road cost $35, 900, the gov
ernment's limitation on this would be
$4,000, and not one-half Of the cost.
Then II the state through its resolu-
tion donates another rs per cent, that
would leave the cost to the commun-
ity building the road, $4,000 per mile.
There are 100000 Of government
money in Kansas to be applied on
good roads whenever any community
comes up with its share, and if the
people do not take hold Of the matter
Of good roads now, they should, and
Of right ought to be, compelled to
wiggle around in the mud holes like
the polliwog.
Some communities in Kansas have
gone so far already as to map out as
much as thirty-fve miles of good
roads. The movement is general over
the state to take advantage Of the
proffered offer, thus putting the I'M
employed labor to work and securing
good roads, too. Get busy.

For the benefit of persons who have
been nervous lest the food supply of
America prove insufficient, attention
should be called to this big fact dis
closed by the war: Under the COM
bined stimulus Of patriotism and high
prices the farmers of America in
creased their acreage under cultiva-
ton Is per cent. They did this with
the boys away in the army. With the
boys back home they could increase it
20 to 25 per cent if necessary. When
it is recalled that per cent increase
under normal conditions is sufficient
to provide a large surplus of agricul-
tureal products, it is evident that this
fair land is in no immediate danger
of perishing from hunger.-K.C. Star.
