ONE NATION Has EAlrH

Guatemala has set the great powers
of the world noble example. With
out waiting fpr disarmament con
ference and without sounding out her
fellow.nations'as to their sincerity in
the matter, the little Central Amer-
can republic has recently cut its
standing sarmy from $4,000 to 5000
men. 1t cost approximately $4,000 a
month to maintain the larger force.
This expense will be cut to about a
third by the new plan.
The 10000 soldiers to be dropped
from service are to be discharged on
ly as rapidly as civil employment can
be secured for them, so that as little
hardship as possible will be caused by
the new move.
Another interesting feature OF Qua
temala's action is the fact that the
money saved by reducing the stand
ing army is to be devoted to improve.
ment of the nations public school
system. Six hundred thousand dol
lars does not sound like a great sum
for education to nation the size of
the United States, but Is is large for
our southern neighbor. II we devoted
two-thirds of the money now appro-
priated for military purposes to i'm
provement of our public schools we
would make such progress in civili-
zation, I'm social and Industrial well
fare and in spiritual development as
the world has rarely seen.
The Guatemalan minister to the
United States explains his country's
purpose in taking this step by saying:
"The reduction of the army is sig
nificant because II is coincident with
the decision by the Central American
Union congress to sign convention
cerating federation of Central
American Republics"
Guatemala has faith that "conti.
dence has superseded fear in Central
America" and that the EZRA of petty
wars and revolutions is at an end"
and she justifies her faith by works.
Have the great nations of the earth
no faith?

SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDING

When congress passed the federal
aid road act in 1916 there was much
criticism on the ground that 1t repre-
sented an attempt by some of the
backward states to provide for local
road construction at the expense OF
the more prosperous states. In the
intervening four years, however, the
act seems to have justified itself and
the states making use Of its provis-
ions have shown n willingness to go
more than half way to meet the gov.
ernment's offer.
1t Is reported now that more than
1900 miles of highway have been
approved for construction in the four
years. There is n fine spirit of CO.
operation between the state highway
departments and the federal bureau.
The law provides that the national
treasury department pay half the ex-
pense OF building rural postroads in
the states. Post-roads are then 80
broadly defined that they include al.
most every sort of road needed in the
agricultural districts.
The encouraging fact is that the
federal act Isl lactually stimulating the
construction q good roads throughout
the country. Some low-grade roads
are built at little cost, but the greater
emphasis Is placed upon high-grade,
permanent highways. That is as 1t
should be. II the activity of the past
four years continues, and increases
as It is doing now, this country will
begin soon to have highway system
OF which II may be proud.

lieved that many rural communities
would find it more, economical to form

Many farmers WHO live within 10 to Is
miles of consuming centers raise ber-
ries, fruit, and truck crops, and most
of them deliver their produce directly
TO the city markets. During the busy
season this requires several trips each
week. To make the trip by team means
a long, hard day for both men and
horses.
Before undertaking the formation Of
such an association. specialists of the
department advise that survey be
made to determine that an actual need
exists and that there will be sufficient
business to warrant operating at least
one truck It must be remembered,
