THE GIRL SCOUTS


The Boy Scout organization has
become the most popular one Of its
kind in the whole world. It would
be difficult to name a modern move
ment looking to better citizenship
that was started with as good judg-
ment, and as fine a discrimination in
choosing the foundation principles
upon which youthful endeavor may
be turned into wholesome channels
of development. Within a nonsee-
tartan effort, there have been gather
ed thousands and thousands of Aln-
erican boys. Communities have come
to recognize the wonderful invest
ment of a Boy Scout organization.
1t is gratifying to find that a sim
liar effort among the girls is meeting
success. The Girl Scouts were or
gained in 1912. By 1920, more than
$4,000 girls had been enrolled and
we find that the Girl Scouts are COM
ing to take an important place in the
development of womanhood. mas
much as women are now practically
accepting all of the civic and business
places along with the men, it is per-
haps just as important to develop
those finer qualities of civic citizen
ship in the girls as in the boys. So
the National Council of Girl Scouts
is appealing to the public along lines
that are commanding a deserved sue
cess.
During the last year, it is stated
that 395 members of the organiza-
ton have rendered spontaneous acts
Of heroism or service. Sixteen others
have saved human lives. During a II
period, 53,313 Girl Scouts
awarded merit badges, each one
representing actual mastery of some
or activity. During the last
year, 108 scouts and Z officers, OBJ
aimed the highest rank possible in
jhe organization, that of Golden

Girl Eaglet must have won a medal

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. kiImGr's SWamp-ROOt

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says, ''Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, and

Tourists Repay Canada
for Cost of Good Roads

Canada has spent $191 900 in build
ing good roads in the last five years.
according to John B. Harkin, Domin-
ion commissioner of parks.
"The Dominion has received $118,-
900, 900 in revenue from foreign tour
list traffic in the same period" Mr..
Harkin said. Improvement of high
ways has been a big factor in the de-
velopment of Canada's touring trade.
The Dominion knows it is not spend
ing money on roads, but merely invest
ing it. Good roads mean general pros
perity. They save farmers millions
of dollars in hauling costs annually"

TRAVELLERS TAX FOR
POOR ROADS is BIG

There Is an oft asserted statement
that paved roads pay for themselves
but how and in what coinagef Is the
pay to be taken in better living con-
ditions that can scarcely be measured
Iu dollars and cents or can a real
money earning value be placed on
them?
The Arizona Gazette Phoenix Is in
an excellent position to answer that
question, since Maricopa county in
which that daily is located has the
largest mileage of concrete roads of
any single county in the world-a
total of 307 miles of concrete. These
the enterprise commanded nationwide
attention during their construction in
1920-23. This newspaper editorially
quotes statements of Highway Engi-
neer Fl. f. Phelps of the College of
Engineering, state of Washington. in
which he decries the attempt to lower
taxes by an assault upon the taxes
being levied for good roads" AS
this authority sees it, the travellers
tax for poor roads is greater than
the tax necessary to build good roads.
He says:
IF we had concrete surfaces to
drive upon, we could pay tire tax of
81 per cent and still spend no more
for tires than is required for our pres
ent road surfaces"
Mr. Phelps then calls attention to
the experiments that have been made
to determine the amount of gasoline
that is needed on different kinds of
roads, saying that these experiments
show that a gallon of gasoline will
haul one ton IA miles on earth roads,
q miles on gravel and 81 miles on con-
crete.
Taking the weight of an automobile
as IA tons and the price of gasoline
as zoe per gallon, this highway en-
gineer tells what happens TO your gas
oline tank as the car passes over vari-
Gus kinds of roads in the following
manner:
when the car reaches, the end of
the concrete and starts down a gravel
surface, the extra gasoline required
costs as much as a tax of 2-3 cents
per gallon, and when 1t reaches the
end of the gravel and starts down the
average poor earth road, an added
cost of ten cents per gallon is the
travellers tax caused by the poor
road"
In a. similar vein, Fred R. White,
chief engineer of the Iowa state high
way commission addressed the county
supervisors of his state in August,
1922, telling them that highway taxes
represent less than Is per cent of to-
tai taxes and are responsible for only
one-eighth of the total increase in
taxes since 1910. whenever a cigar
is lighted" he said, "the smoker pro-
ceeds to burn up the highway taxes
of the average Iowan for from three
to six days and also "a quarter sec
ton of land taxed at 50 an acre con-
tributes approximately one cent per
acre to the county engineering work"

Good Road Hints

X X X X X X x X X X II \
The annual highway expenditures
are approximately .$1,0OO,000,000.
The famous old Roman road, Via
Appia, is 1000 years old, and is still
in a marveIously good state of repair.
In the last 10 years investments in
automobiles have increased about 200
per cent and highway expenditures
have in the same time increased about
900 per cent.
II is believed that the states in
cooperation with the federal authori-
ties should work out some system
whereby more of the highway appro-
priations may be utilized in construct
ing fafm-to-market roads.
Good roads, canals and navigable
rivers by diminishing the expense of
carriage, put the remote parts of a
country nearly on level with those IN
the neighborhood of town; they are,
upon that account, the greatest of all
mprovements-Adam Smith
