driver only watches the signs along
the route And the scenery along
this road is equal to anything we have
found so far
1t is estimated by J. A. Fansler,
Manager of the Good Roads Assn,
that 10000 tourists will pass thru the
state this summer. The traffic is
getting heavier each day Every
Chamber of Commerce in the State
is receiving requests for road inform
alton, maps and other things that are
necessary TO the driver who is on his

fc will be directed the other way, as
the tourists start homeward after a
few weeks, or months spent in the

We ARE JUST A sPECK

Most of US who live on this world
think it is a pretty big place Many of
Capper's Weekly folks would have to
ride all of one day and one night to
get as far as Chicago even if they
took fast train and only stopped at
the big cities. But the men who look
thru telescopes at the stars say the
earth is so small a part of the uni
verse that if a cube one-seven thous-
andth of an inch in diameter were
thrown into Lake Erie, it would oc-
cupy the same space in that great
Island sea that our earth occupies in
a universe terminating at the near
est star outside of our solar system.
This star is Alpha Centauri. The
distance is 15,625 underiIlion miles
This is what it looks like in
figures: 1868, 100000, 900, 100000
100000, 100000, O,OOO,. The truth
is the world on which we live is even
smaller than pin prick in the act

see it, it would take very large mis-
croscope in order for anyone to see

GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
A Buck.

Cloud County Commissioners have
approved petitions for hard surfacing
the Meridian road thru that County
thus adding another link to the trans
state road from north to south. This
highway bisects the county from
north to south, and is now completely
petitioned for paving. The Midland
Trail thru the county has also been
petitioned, leaving only the White
Way yet to be approved. There is
strong movement on the part of
farmers living, along the White Way
to circulate petitions for the section
of this excellent highway that lies in
side the limits of Cloud. Members
of the Kansas Good Roads Associa-
ton living in this county have taken
an unusual interest in circulating and
getting the petition approved. There
is now rush on to get federal aid for
every foot of hard surface road ap-
proved by the Commissioners, and it
is believed that the state highway
commission will grant this aid, which
benefit by practically one-half.
Motor tourists by the thousands are
just now passing thru Kansas on their
way to the Rocky Mountains to es-
cape the itense heat of eastern cities.
The universal comment heard by
these casual visitors is upon the excel
lent highways in the state, so far dirt
roads are concerned, but always with
a note of disappointment that there
are not more hard surfaced roads.
"The trans-continental Trails are
better marked in Kansas than on any
other state thru which they pass,
said one traveller from New York,
who called at the office of the Kansas
Good Roads Association last Friday
for information concernig the Santa
Fe Trail thru the state. There is no

EDsEI FORD AND FATHER TAKE
COMPLETE CONTROLE OF
MOTOR COMPANY

Mt. Clemens, Mich, July 11.-One
of the largest financial transactions in
the industrial history of recent years
was announced Friday when Mr. Ed
bsel Ford, the twenty-five year old
president of the Ford Motor Com
pany confirmed the report that he had
bought out all but one of the minor
ity stockholders, and that the sole
control of the company now rests vir-
tually in the hands of his father and
himself.
The entire deal was handled, it is
stated, by the younger Mr. Ford,
through the Old Colony Trust Co., of
Boston. The details of acquiring the
stock was handled by Mr.. Stuart W.
Webb, of Bond & Goodwin, and F. M.
Holmes, Albert Boyden and Roland
Boyden. All minority stockholders
were dealt with independently and
each received the same price per
share for stock.
The concentration of the control of
the company in the hands of Henry
Ford and his son was precipitated by
the court decision rendered when the
minority stockholders brought suit to
compel Mr. Ford to abandon his plan
of investing $2O,OOO,OOO in profits
and forced him to distribute this sum
amoung stockholders.
This decision, it is felt, stood as a
barrier in the path of the Ford poll
cies for charging their industries and
the perfection of their plans for the
extension of their industrial and SOC
ial benefits.
The Ford policy does not favor
large dividends to stockholders. 1t
favors, as is well known, profit-shar-
ing system for its workmen and the
extension of this benift to the public
| through the reduction of prices
eve know of no better way to pre-
vent war than to extend industry"
declared Mr.. Ford, in commenting on
the change in ownership of the COM
pany. eve plan to continue build
ing plants in all parts of the world, to
continue sharing our profits as we do
today with our employees and to re-
dUce the price of our product when
ever increasing production makes pos
sible"
With the contamination of this
transaction the announcement made
last winter by Henry Ford to the eff
feet that he would enter upon the
manufacture of car which would
sell for considerably. less than the
present model, is superseded by plans
for the steady extension of the pres
ent concern.
All credit for the successful efforts
pany in the hands of Mr.. Ford and
his son is given to the young presi-
dent. He it was who persuaded his
father that this was a better method
of carrying out their established poll
cies than creating and organizing a
new corporation.
The sale stands as striking ex-
ample of the possibilities of American
business when that business is back
ed by vision and trust in the possibil-
tiles of this country. Sixteen years
ago the Ford Motor Compony was
virtually little more than a machine
shop with working capital of a few
thousand dollars. Today its assets
are said to total at least $3.50, 100000
and every dollar paid in by the few
men who had faith in Henry Ford
and his invention has returned thous-
ands.-Mt. Clemens News.

TOURISTS FROM All PARTS OF
UNITED STATES USE GOLD
EN- BELT TO THE WEST

Salina, July 13.-(speciaD Not
withstanding the fact the road in the
Golden Belt highway is very dusty
and getting worse every day from the
lack of moisture the line of tourists
covering the road is unprecedented
and the tags on the cars going thru
were issued in almost every eastern
state. A car passed thru Salina Sat
urday afternoon bearing a tag issued
in Connecticut and in the past week
other New England tags have gone
thru. Pennsylvania Michigan,
New York, and even Tennessee cars
have passed thru with people going to
the Rocky Mountains for the summer.
The failure of the Kansas State
bank in this city several weeks ago
was pretty well advertised, and a
tourist in Salina, Saturday from New
York wanted to have the bank point
ed out to him that recently went
broke. A man from Chicago stated
that he had been on the road a week
and had not found a piece of wet
road since he left home. On the
other hand he said that the dust was
sometimes so thick one could not see
ahead and that if it got much worse
there would be danger of collisions
The dust is made worse by the I'M

We can see the line along which
war must eventually disappear, even
without any active human interfer-
ence. It's two causes are already de-
caying. The excessive birth rate is
falling, and necessarily falls with
every rise of culture. Excessive in
dividualism has likewise passed its
climax; there is no more world left
to fight for; and with the regulation
of industrial and commercial activi-
ties, of the whole material side of life,
the economic cause of war falls away
and the energy thus released is free
for subimation into other and possib-
ly more exalted forms of human
activity-Ex.
REPORT THOSE TRANSFERS
Every automobile sale or transfer,
either new or old autos, must be re-
ported to the secretary of state under
the new automobile law. This provi-
sion and others are frequently violat-
ed, according to Richard J. Hopkins,
attorney general, who has issued a
warning concerning common viola
tons of the law.
"Many persons abuse the use of
automobile license and number
plates" Mr. Hopkins said. CAT this
time of the year when numbers are
being obtained, auto owners should
acquaint themselves with the law.
cit is a violation for dealer in au-
tomobiles to use a dealers license tag
on truck or car used for hire or liv-
cry or private purposes.
"When a secondhand or used car is
sold it is a violation of the law to re-
move the license plate and place it on
another car. The sale must be re-
ported to the county treasurer or sec
rotary of state and a transfer of the
license made from the former owner
to the new for which a nominal fee
is charged.
''The penalty for a violation of
these provisions is a fine of from $40
to 5000 and. sentence to the county
jail for not more than six months
Additional penalties are provided for
the operation of an automobile with
out a license; and the defacing or
changing of any car number or en-

oDhGFahhy
Cotton goods markets closed the month
quiet with prices generally Arm. The
important event Of the week was Gov
eminent auction OF surplus war goods,
at which many prices were paid largely
In excess OF Government costs and. in
some instances. In excess OF current
market values Purchases were made
for shipment to Siberia
Print cloths and convertibles have
been Quieter and there have been some
price recessions of half a cent a yard
on few numbers In sales between
second hands. Colored cottons appear
to be higher and scaroer than many I'M
finished cloths. Ginghams are sold
closely in most mills. Prints and per-
Gales rule Arm at the recently advanced
prices. Denims are tending higher.
Sales OF goods for spring delivery by
converters have been steady and there
IL q good call for novelty fabrics. Buy
ers constantly are seeking additional
quantities of mapped goods for fall de-
livery. The mills have 30 much busi-
ness ahead that they are showing little
interest In any additional business for
delivery EARLIER than November. There
was some Improvement last week in
calls for hose and betting duck from the
