LANDS ADJACENT TO GOOD
ROADS INCREASE IN VALUE

Highways give to people and pro
duets g%renter freedom of movement.
What that has meant in life. liberty
and the pursuit of prosperity can be
family surmised from the howl that
goes up wherever Il mile or So Of road
is shut off for reconstruction or re-
pairs. 1t cannot he estimated in dol
lars and cents. Highways enhance
land values wherever they. have been
built. Farm lands adjacent to inn
proved roads can be expected to in
crease in value from $1,000 to $1,000
per acre. The increase in value to
land adjacent to cities and towns is
apparent as soon rs highways are inn
proved. They help produce flourish
ing hotels all over h state, because
they encourage travel.
our investment in highways will add
more to the welfare of the state and
its people than my other money eX-
pended upon public works.

If another column we print let Ser from Rev G. F. Bristol of North Dakota, to his former parishioners and friends in Falls Village. In this letter MT. Bristol states that oats are selling at 20 cents a bushel, pota- toes at 50 cents a bushel and eggs at 16 cents a dozen. Quite some different from local prices and the ,much-talked of Thigh" prices of the west. Several years ago when the price levels were much lower Throughout the country, it cost about 26 cents for a pound of steak in the east. Arriving at the high priced city of Denver we found excellent steak could be purchased for 16 cents, while sugar was selling for 2 cents a pound less than here.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

In Legislative Bulletin No. 9 of ters appears the following matter claiming the attention of women voters.
 Your support during the coming week will probably do more for the ehildren's code bills than at any future time. The best way to ren- der this help will be to see or write to your own representative and also write to members of the committees on Appropriations and on Humane Institutions. The House Bill TAP, creating a Bureau of Child Welfare, will be probably referred by the committee on Humane Institutions to the Appropriations committee in the near future. The bills as originally presented have been redrafted. It is essential that the principals upon which they are based should not be | altered. Tell your Legislator that you stand for the bills as endorsed
 by the child welfare commission. I am wondering how many women voters in the town are taking any thought regarding the vote and the duties and responsibilities involved i in their new citizenship. Last fall was a presidential election and, of ! course, women wanted to vote, and many did--the antis as eager as any suffragist, but is there now going to
 be no further interest taken, no preparation for the study of woman's new citizenship? Every woman an | intelligent voter" is the fundamen- tai slogan of the National League of Women Voters. The National aim is to have a citizenship school in every | county in every state to prepare the woman for intelligent participation in affairs of political import time will quickly determine whether we voting woman are going to be Tipped around and told where to line up on the political floor, like children in a spelling contest and told how when and where we are to get off or leave the floor and take our seats when so ordered or are we going to be the kind of citizen every voter, man or woman should be, perfectly compe- tent to run his or her own political business without let or hindrance and to sure the vote as the voters conscience and intelligence dictates.

 Chicago is forced to eke out an aEid existence on 1,60O,000 gallons of wine and spirits a year for medi- cinal purposes. That is only little more than a quart apiece for every man, woman and child every three months. How will the poor men, women and children ever get along on it?
 Prof. Einstein, bombarded by questions from eager interviewers about his theory of the relativity of the universe or something, insists that it "holds no interest for the ordinary man., and lis not to be taken too seriously" Einstein may be a great philosopher, but he cer- tainly doesn't understand publicity.
 A Kansas City boy has been awarded $2O,O0O damages because facial burns from an electric wire destroyed his power to smile. That's fair enough.

Time will tell lot of things, whet- her women in general will want to hold office and will vote any how or any way to get it or whether they will do nothing of the kind remains to be seen.
 Speaking broadly and imperson- ally no woman should neglect the opportunities to study politics and good citizenship that are now to be offered to every community. No mat ter what men have done or not done with the vote, this is no argument that women should initiate men in politics but rather let them become as their national slogan calls them to be. Every woman an intelligent vo- ter.

All of which goes, to show that the paper is not as young as it was, though each succeeding year finds it a better paper under the able work of Mr. Doty, who was once editor of the News.

SMELL THE OLIVES.
Nose is Best Detector of Olive Poison,
Doctor Says.

If you open a bottle Of olives and a
smell something like strong cheese OF
sour butter greets your nostrils, either
throw away the olives or take them
back and warn the grocer he is selling
bottled death to his customers.
| Also, and alas for your labor, house
wives, if any of the home canned vege-
tables that you open for the table
give out a rancid odor, throw them
away. Your effort has been in vain,
unless you have prepared for suicide or
murder.
A skilled and careful use of the nose
will save the stomach many years and
your family bereavement. Don't wait
until the odor flies up and hits yon
between the eyes. Sniff, sniff dainty,
but sniff with care.
DIR. Randall c. Rosenberger, profes.
sor of hygiene and bacteriology at
Jefferson college, tells the facts. He
recently examined olives from a store
in Greensburg, Pa, olives similar to
those which caused the death of three
Greensburg lovers of olives.
'Botulism," he said, SIS due to an
organism called bacillus botulinus. The
bacilli have been found in most food
which has caused poisoning. Apart
from its presence in meats and sau
sage which have decayed partially, it
has been proved to be in home cured
vegetables, such as beans, corn and as
paragus, and in ripe olives. 1t may be
found in other foods. The ripe olives
probably are little more than ripe,
that is, purified, when the bacilli
grow.
"Any food that is affected by this
organism" he continued, warningly,
gives off rancid, offensive odor. The
organism will not be found by a per-
son looking for ii in food for the ia
BILE, but this odor is sufficient warning
to throw away the food. The strength
of its poison can be gathered from
the fact that one -millionth of a cubic
centimeter will kill d mouse or guinea
pig
Symptoms appear in very short
time after the food is eaten" contin-
ued the doctor, speaking OF human
consumption. "The most acute symp-
toms are double vision and difficulty
in swallowing due to paralysis of the
throat muscles. The legs and arms
are paralyzed. A person who exhibits
these symptoms rarely is saved"
Doctor Rosenherger said experiment
tation is being done with serum to
counteract botulinus poisoning, but its
has not been proved.--Phila- |
delphia North American.

saved my life, Di." She was trying to
speak with her old nonchalance. but l
could see that she was trembling, and
she locked the door OF the compartment
before she sank down in the seat across
from me.
Did you notice our little party at
Poughkeepsie?" she asked taking out a
gold cigarette case with her monogram
done on it in rubies and diamonds and
Offering il TO me. well, you might
as well know the truth about that. Fact
is, Di, the authorities are after us

Yet looking at her, noting the change
in her pretty face, aud the way she
acted, l knew that she was telling me
the truth. At that time "snow" par
ties were not so common among movie
folk as they are said TO be now, and
even now I'm sure that the stories one
hears Of them are greatly exaggerated
To be sure, friend Of mine wrote me
while ago about a party which She
heard had been given IN Hollywood ,
where, according TO her letter, there
was a sunken pool filed with cham
pagne, which men painted like Nubian
slaves dipped up in great golden pitch
erS, while opium and cocaine were
passed to the guests. But she was
telling what she had heard, not what
she had secn-and I'd rather think
that such things don't actually happen

more money in much less time than any

if they didn't get me-" Isabel went on
few minutes later, quite ignoring my
protest. You see, well, I'm
broke; played the stock market and lost
everything, except these" And she
opened her handbag and dumped into
my lap heap of bracelets and rings
that glimmered and cleaned like I'M
prisoncd sunlight. That's what stands
between me and starvation. I'd still
be all right, but my apartment was
broken into day before yesterday
