er ever elected to this office.
Niley has been superintendent of
the last IL years, and In this posi-
tion he has made more rural schools
under his supervision than any other
county superintendent in the state.
The fact that he has been retained
in this position by the people Of
Crawford county furnishes "home
folks recommendation" that the
voters who go into the Republican
primary on August might do well
to weigh.
Niley has built UP the Crawford
county schools In way that has
ajlven him recognition among the
teachers all over Kansas and sur
rounding states. His standing among
the teachers is shown by the fact
that he is now serving as president
Of the Kansas State Teachers Asso-
citation. This recognition, along
with his record in his home county,
leaves small ground for questioning
the wisdom Of vote for Miley If
you have an interest In building up

streets are badly torn up for paving

Abilene that drive to the farthest
limit of It's paved street each even
ing-probably fifty to hundred
each evenings an indication OF
what will happen In month or two.
Closer friendship between the two
towns than in all the sixty years OF
existence will be seen; every such
neighbOrliness means more business
and greater enjoyment for the resi-
dents of both cities.
Then a little later Junction City
will be added. 1t will be a delight

Junction, or from Junction to Abb
lene, and both towns will gain In
good will. Between them will be
Chapman with Its new brick pave
ment, It's spruced up appearance and
there will arise community Of in
terest such as the trio Of cities has
never known.
For all Abilenes history Salfna
has been closer to this town than
Junction City. 1t Is slightly nearer
for one thing and the dirt road to
Salina was generally better than
that to Junction. SO the average
motOrist out for drive went to Sa-
lima. He patronized the cafes and
shows and hotels and it was sort
of general terminus for the drive of
two or three hours. But by autumn
there will be beautiful paved road
TO JunctiOn---it Is already all paved
but three and a half miles---and the
cars turn east instead of west. Prob
ably more folks from this town have
visited Junction in the past month
than In any month Of record. The
road to Salina, cut up as 1t Is with
the heavy tourist traffic steadily in
creasing Is something to bring swear
words. Those who know the cOun-
try roads can go south Of the river
and get better drive but nobody
takes the Golden Belt to, Solomon
except from necessity and beyond
that 1t is none too good.
At the other end Of the paved
road Junction City contemplates
with shivers the fearful roads in
which Riley delights. To 90 to Man
haitian is an adventure and a trial
for the car; It may escape without
broken springs but 1t is chance.
Hence Junction drives over the pave
ment to Abilene, visits around a
while and drives home-always safe
and sure, rain or shine.
So the three towns, Abilene, Chap
man and Junction City, are to be
brought closer together and the in
terests Of each will be benefited.
The towns that want to stay on dirt
roads will have to. get along the best
they can. Maybe they will like to
be rid Of the visitors-but that's up
to them.

Two KINDS OF FARMERS

The, experience OF the Farm Con
grcss shows that there are two dis
tinct types OF farmers, measured by
an interesting classification. The
records Of tle, Soil Products Exposi-
ton conducted by the Farm Con-
gress) contain the names Of many
thousands OF farmers who have, dur
Ing the past fifteen years, competed
for the numerous prizes and trophies
offered for the best samples or
records In agricultural production.
An examination OF this list does not
disclose the name Of a, single man
who has also been active In any Of
the political, semi-political or eco
nomic farmer movements. Many Of
them undoubtedly hold memberships
In such organizations, for they have
been solicited by the best organizers
available; but their minds are occu-
pied more with thoughts of how to
grow better crops, improve. their
soil, operate their own farms more
and rely upon their own
efforts. You do not see them around
the state legislatures. They are not
In evidence at Washington. They do
not know how to reform the cOun-
try. But they have the best kept
farms. Their livestock is the best
bred and the best cared for. They
.aise the largest crops, Of the best
luality. 1t is In their orchards and
IN rdena and fields that the slow
progress and development to better
standards Is going on. Their fin
noes are usually in good shape.
