CEMENT TRUST, ONE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PETS, ORDERED

Dissolution OF the Cement Manufac-
turers' Association on the ground that
II is a trust and has functioned to stine
competition and restrain trade has been
ordered by Judge Knox In the U. $. Dis
trict Court OF Sew York. 1t was al
lodged that the association as such and
its individual members had created
monopoly In Portland cement, materi-
al In general use In building operations
The Republican House OF Representa-
tiyes months ago voted a duty of cents
a hundred rounds on Portland and 9th
or varieties OF cement, and the Repub-
lican Senate Was about to ratify this
gift TO the combine when public out
cry was raised. This was after investi-
cations had shown that the Cement
manufacturers Association was big
factor In boosting" the prices of struc-
tural materials.

GOOD ROADS

Every man. woman or child in the
United States has personal interest In
good roads.
The farmer and the motorist have
the most immediate and practical I'm.
terest, but the interest OF others 10 no
less vital that It expresses an indirect 10
lation.
The farmer wants good roads be
cause he can make more money with
good roads than with poor roads. II
the farmer can make more money, he
spends more, which means greater pros
perlty for the whole nation. And II he
can do with less money. good roads en-
ables him to sell his products for less
and still make as much ~ at present
that means lower prices for food.
Every one who lives In rural or sub.
urban location is interested In good
roads because they decrease the tim.
distance that separates the city. Every
rural or suburban dweller needs TO get
to the city sometime; the less the time
distance the less II costs. Everyone
who lives In the city wants at times to
get into the country. The good roads 4,
the means. IL there are no good roads
there 10 sharp line drawn between city
and country, which makes for the good
Of neither. With good roads the city
and country blend. The more good
roads the more travel. The more trav-
el, the more understanding OF people by
their neighbors. and the less possible Il
Misunderstanding, strife, rival or dis
cord.
Roads are 4 part OF the foundation OF
Americanism. Let us all work to make
that foundat ton broad aid long and
lasting.

country Is receiving aid and supplies
from the rest of Japan, while foreign
countries seem unlimited in their
generosity. The whole nation is
deeply touched by the sympathy that
comes to us from abroad. This
demonstration OF kindly human
sentiment has impressed US deeply
and will have a long enduring effect.
