Since 1917 the cost of road making
material has increased in some insran-
ces as much as 100 per cent: DELAYING
repairs on many New York highways
until there is danger of serious
breakdown or some of the important
arteries of traffic.
Roads should be repaired when the
first sign Of disintegration appears.
Under proper systems of highway
maintenance material for repairs is
stored BY the roadside. There is a
man continuously patrolling with horse
and cart. There are nofincr high
ways anywhere than those which are
kept I'D in this manner. Such a plan
promotes rivalry between the highway
workers: the result is that rride in
achievement which the good workman
naturally feels in the performance of
his duty.
Some of thoseswho ride in comfort
in their motor cars over the best of
our roads have no conception of the
cost Of road building and maintenance.
According to figures furnished BY the
chief Of the Bureau of Public Roads
Department of Agriculture, gravel
roads which formerly cost S4,535 a
mile cannot be constructed TO-DAY for
have increased in cost from SPLICE to
$4,000 a mile. Brick roads. which
have many advocates, have risen from
$50 900 to S55,0OO a mile.
Ii is not to be wondered at thai the
various States. confronted with such
great increases, should hesitate before
beginning road Improvements or con-
structiOn already approved until thew
can formulate some plan cf getting
more revenue from those who use the
tro-ouphfares.
But road renair is tic most profit
able investment a town or state can
make. Done promo'ly and well, the
mending saves the surface. and bv
saving the surface the whole road
structure, in many cases. can be saved

BASKETBALL NOTES.


"As the old Millwheel turns round
and round i'll come to you;" was the
tune to which the Martinsburg clan
went down 70 defeat in the Firemen's
hall. last Friday night before a pack
ed house. This was the fifth and de-
Gliding game of the series with the team
Of that city. They had loaded UP and
came down with their minds made up
to walk away with the local team, but
their plans were cast sky-hi as the f.
nal score indicates. The locals were

coming through with a counter from
a difficult angle. The home boys had
learned a lesson, having lost the three
games previous to this one, and the
amazing system of teamwork that
they uncorked was really interesting
to see. The final score was 65 to 27.
The first half ended in our favor

to note that they were never in danger

couldn't do all the shooting.
By taking this game the locals are
now the undisputed Champions of the
Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia
The local Collegians wound up their
schedule for the l92O-192l season,
by defeating the strong Alsatia team,
of Hagerstown, Tuesday night in the
Firemen's hall 27 to 81.
Ii will be recalled that this team,
lthe Alsatial has defeated some of the
best teams in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania. Tomorrow night they PLAY
Frederick for the championship of
Maryland Next week they play the
strong quintet from Harrisburg. Pa.
for the championship of the Cumber-
land Valley. However before they can
r'Ghtfully claim it the local team will
have to be eliminated.
Now, for some inside dope. The
first half started off with a whir
The locals scoring nine points before
the visitors could locate the basket

a minute | to 9; but the home bows
were out for the victory and the first
half ended 16 to Is in our favor.
When the second half started they
Jumped into the lead again for a short
neriod only. Then three successive
shots by Legge and Moler put the old
game on the shelf. From that time
on the outcome was never in doubt.
This was fast rough game. married
BY many fouls on both teams. This
could not be helped, owino to the
smallness of the court. Knott as
usual PLAYED his stellar game at guard
holding Recher, the star of St. Johns
College to two field goals. This was
no little achievement, as Recher was

TEXAS IN
 PATH IF HEAVY
 RAIN AND WINDS
1923 Inches of Rain Falls In Austin In Twenty Four Hours Flooding Streets and Buildings
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased WIreI

DALLAS, Sept. 10. - High winds and heavy rains which swept south Texas late yesterday and early to- day, causing property damage of thousands of dollars and injury to many persons, had subsided late to- day, according to reports received here.
 Only one fatality, that of Brakeman Wagner, who was killed near Noonan. in the wreck of a Southern Pacific train, has been reported as resulting directly from the storm, excluding the persons killed in the San Antonio flood. A train, a mixed passenger and freight carrier. operating be- tween San Antonio and Eagle Pass. was derailed when 1t plunged into a washout. The engineer and fireman were injured.
 Near Austin property damage esti- mated at $150.000 was caused and eight persons injured by a tornado and cloudburst late today. Owing to demoralized wire service, it. has been impossible to estimate the dam age wrought in several towns within 15 or 20 miles of Austin.
 | During the 24 hours ending at a. m today, 1928 inches of rain fell at Austin, the federal weather ob- server announced, flooding the streets and buildings.
 All Trains Delayed All trains from Austin to San An tonic and Dallas are held up by dam- age to tracks and bridges. High ways are impossible.
