The civilizins Highways

There are gathering in Phoenix today from all
parts of the country who are interested in one
of the greatest of cvilizng movements the establish
ment OF communications between the different
tons of the country the uniting of the east and
the west and the north and the south
The railroads have done much towarde the ex-
tension of this civilization but they and they
can never effect what will be accomplished by the
construction of highways The steel paths pass
desert and through wilderness but they leave only
mark The remote railway station is hardly less
isolated than the settlement far removed from the
railway
There are now not only in the west many towns
which before the coming railways were places
of Importance because Of their location upon npor-
tant pathways maybe only great cattle trails emf
grant routs but which have since dwindled into in
significance because the railroads came destroyed
those highways.
we are not minimizing the great beneficial in
fluence of the railways upon the whole country or
suggesting that their place could be filled by the
most highly improved system of highways but we
only bringing the fact that they have created
only centers of commerce and culture into which
have drained the of great surrounding
areas through which the paths OF pass without
influencing them.
Local highway building, however, has to
the aid of these drained by connecting them
with the centers which the railways have created and
made them accessible TO inhabitants who for
merly remote from highways.
Our meaning of the isolation Of settlements which
are merely touched by railway lines may be made
clearer by illustration: On east and west line
two towns Of Importance thirty miles apart.
There may midway loading whistling station.
Persons living near it uninfuenced by the
railway as if they lived fifteen miles north south
of the line.
1t is true that they have access to the interme-
date station they can ship stock and products of
the soil; they board trains at the whistng sta
ton but the great mass of them only the rushing
train which has influence upon their lives
than passing clouds.
The leisurely traffic improved high
ways brings TO them the manners and customs of
other, all other, parts of the country in thousands
and thousands of cars and thus at&every point the
whole country brought into contact and united. If
had only highways running east and west or north
and south, there would still be left vast un
touched as they are by the railways. But with
such highways there would soon be thrown out lat
erals and branches until the whole country would be
linked together.

cultural land. The assessed valua-
ton is approximately $1,000, 900,

tual value.
At sale held in Austin, Mimi,
Tuesday, September 10, bonds of
Mower county bearing the rate of

the first carload of grade Holstein
dairy cattle brought into Mankato

Dairy campaign. This group of
twenty one head was considered by
the breeders and dairymeh who saw
them to be very high classed load

production.

HIGH BIRTH RATE
Ratio of Three for Each Death
Makes Haitian Islands PopuIous

Ratio of Three for Each Death
Makes Haitian Islands Populous
Port Au- Prince, Haiti, September
T[Correspondence of the Associated
Pressl-With a ratio of three births
to each death, as shown by vital
statistics for the first six months of
1922, Haiti is rapidly increasing in
population and is free from race
suicide. A striking phase Of this in
crease is that the difference In male
and female babies is negligible. The
tary methods, the Improvement of
the agricultural yield, and the cessa-
ton OF Haitian revolutions with
their considerable toll of deaths and
hardships that were reflected in
succeeding generation, are respons-
ible for the marked increase in a
naturally prolific people. Last year
the ratio was two to one.
Haiti's native population, when
she revolted against France m 1871.
was slightly over million. Today 1t
Is estimated at $500 900, a steady In
crease.
Prior to the American occupation
no vital statistics were collected by
the Haitian government. Estimates
of the population were made by the
French priests and generally &C
cepted. A system inaugurated by
the American Sanitary Service, CO.
operated In by the Haitian genSerm
erie. is beginning to yield results OF
growing accuracy. The first six
months OF this year showed an in
crease of 60 percent of the com.
munes making reports, as compared
to ten percent last year.

is the financing of the dairy cam
paign.
The fine spirit of CO operation by
the banks is no doubt appreciated by
many of the farmers in the county,
However, there has not been the
general response from the farmers
for grade dairy cows which was to
be expected. Those who can use a
few good dairy COWS are urged to see
their banker and talk the proposition
over and make application for a few
cows, one head or as many as requir-
ed as the bankers and committee
men do not know who is in the mis>s
ket unless they make their wants
known. If any of the business men
OF the towns know of farmers who
wish to secure few cows at the low
rate of six percent interest, they are
asked to report to one of the com
mittee men so that they may take it
up direct with the farmers inter
ested and make arrangements for
bringing in the cattle.
This Blue Earth County Dairy
Campaign is of much importance to
everyone living in the county. Many
forces are at work to build up Blue
Earth county into one of the strong
est dairy counties in the state, and
it is hoped that within a few years
the creameries will be paying at
least $4,000, 100000 per year for but
terfat to the farmers, besides the
large revenue to be derived from the
sale of surplus stock.

perity. Where the cow goes the dol
