DR.. J. K. Craig, Of Connecticut is
fond of dogs and he tells about the
dog story that Aoored him. after l
told a friend Of mine my dog story he
told me this" he says ale said his
dog was SO sagacious that when he
took down the shotgun to go hunting
the dog would pay no attention to rab-
bits or squirrels but would look for
birds. When he took the rife, the dog
would only look for squirrels and when
he took a strong club the dog would
pay no attention to birds or squirrels
but would trail only rabbits. One day,
just to test the dog, this friend Of
mine says, he took down a fish pole
and began to hitch up the horse to
go fishing. BY the time he got the
horse hitched up, he says, he heard
the dog barking behind the barn and
found he had dug up goodsized can
full of worms"

"D1SORDER AND DESPAIR"

"The late Mr.. LANCER" continues to
cause great anxiety and his plans con-
tinue to cause great perturbation IN
the Townley -Brinton scraggilo OF kept
newspapers.
Mr.. LANCER was declared political
Nv dead, and was properly inferred with
much pomp, several months ago. HIS
political funerals since then, conduct
ed for him by the Townley press, have
been numerous and blatant, If not I'M
pressive, but his activities still agl-
tate the frail sister of Roberts street.
She now processes to believe that Mr..
LANCER is iisrupting the l. V. A. That
worthy organization is declared to be
in "disorder and despair" and split
into several factions" and "disrupted'
and lot of other things.
But the Republicans Of the state are
not worrying about candidates very
seriously yet. They are confident when
a representative state Republican con-
vention is called, properly organized
on the democraticic basis of precinct
and county conventions, that the Re
publican party will be able to select a
fitting candidate from among the sew
eral who are eligible. There is real
Republican organization in the state
now, thanks to the work done in prep
aration for the recent Bismarck con-
vention, and it can function just as
effectively in state matters as it did
in national affairs.
The Republican voters of the state
are far less interested in candidates
than they are in issues at present.
The Forum has that attitude toward
the approaching contest, and it belicv-
es that the rank and file of the [. V.
A. members have the same feeling.
It is not a. case of eliminating" can
didates, but of selecting the best cam
didate for the job Of redeeming the
state from the present gang rule.
When the selection has been made, the
I. V. A. will have plenty of opportu-
nifty to demonstrate, in its work of
electing the candidates to be select
ed, that it is no more disrupted" or
"split into factions" or in disorder
and despair" than Mr.. LANCER is 'dead
politically, whether the choice of the
Republican convention is Mr.. LANCER
or arother.-Forum.

MAN MILLIONS
FOR HARD ROADS

Despite the fact that the Unit
ed States has 100000 motor
driven vehicles in operation
leading the world i'll this respec.
motorists will be surprised to
learn that but Il per cent Of
roads i'll this country are surfac-
ed. Out of an estimated total OF
miles Of public rural
roads, only about Z99,135 are sur
faced or improved.
Indiana shows the greatest per
centage Of improved roads, ~. )
per cent OF its roads being sur
faced, based on the last available
figures of 1918.
That there is a great need for
good roads can be deduced from
the increased tendency for long
distance hauling by motor truck
and particularly by the fact that
10000 employees OF the United
States Postofice Department
travel 100000 miles daily in dc
iivering mail on rural routes.
With an estimated 1920 pro-
duction Of 100000 automobiles.
the need for better highways is
eviden. That this TACT is rccog-
nized by states and municipalities
is shown by estimated appropria-
tons of $oOO,OOO,OO0 to be spent
on hard surfaced roads during the
year.
In 1913 Approximately 1904
miles of roads were improved in
! this country and the enormous
sum OF $54,974.O0O was spent on
maintenance. More than $20,O00.-
600 have been spent on the 1896
miles of Lincoln Highway be
tween the Hudson river and San
Francisco in the last six years.
To stimulate the interest OF
both public and states in the val
tie of better roads, The Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company has
created a new department TO be
devoted entirely to this work It
is in charge of c. M. Wood, who
is exceptionally we'll qualified for
the work. This department will
gather data on the cost of good
roads, methods of taxation and
other valuable information neces-
sary before legislatures can
frame and pass good roads legis-
lation.
So great is the interest of S. A.
Soldering. president of the com
pany and former head Of the Lin
clon Highway Association, that
the Good Roads Bureau will have
the aid of all Goodyear statesmen
and much educational literature
to help create public sentiment
toward Improvement of all roads
in the United Staets.

How Urhana Got Food

When a community is short of
food because of severe weather
and lack of transportation, there
is but one thought-to get il
quickly. Urbana, Ohio, recent
ly suffered a scarcity OF meat and
when the motor trucks equipped
with solid tires and chains were
sent to the Westville station to
unload many car loads of hogs
They were stalled by heavy roads
and icy roads. No progress was
made. At this juncture, E. T.
Taylor, a proprietor of the Mad
River Stock Farm, was called in
with his pneumatically equipped
truck. Even without chains, his
Goodyear all weather tread gave
ample traction so that he Unload
ed the hogs for Urbanian con-
sumption without any trouble,
converting many scoffers to the
advantages of pneumatics. 1t is
said that the easiest way to a per-
sons affections is through his
stomach-if that is so, then pneu-
MATES are forever enshrined in
the hearts of urbanians.

action.

dCIlOH.
The largest single source OF
revenue for building Kentucky's
roads is Federal aid, a total of S.
100000 a year having been assur-
ed from the United States gov
eminent when Kentucky pledged
its share of the fund, as provided
by the Federal law.
The tax which makes up the
remainder of the fund is the reg
ular state levy of 3 cents assess
ed on all property on the ad va
loren basis. This is expected to
bring in $4,000 a year.
The total from all these sources
for benefit OF roads is S5,900,000,
sufficient to give the State high
way project start and carry it
along until the 1922 session of the
General Assembly. Thus, in one
OF the great accomplishments Of
the present administration placed
upon a sound basis with prelimin-
airy plans drawn I'D and a scheme
