STATE BRIEFS
CAN MAKE MORE MONEY HERE

VAN usAAA NtoASI A'Ao->AA AAAssA>
C. Herbert Wilkins, formerly an
Iowa farmer, has purchased the T..
Melvin Lee farm in Cuba township
and will remain in North Dakota per-
manently. Mr.. Wilkins came here
from the tall corn" state three years
ago and has been renting the E. j..
Doney farm southeast of Valley City.
He has come to the conclusion, he
says, that it is better to own land
than to continue renting and that he
can make more money farming in
North Dakota than in Iowa. Mr.. Will

each year since he has been here and
expects to continue in the raising of
stock and will increase his dairy herd.
TO GRAVEL ROAD
w. II. Noel, jamestown contractor,
insists on doing a job Of graveling
on the Meridian highway for space

fall, the Cass county commissioners
have been informed. Mr.. Noel was
awarded the contract some time ago
but has been requested to hold up the
graveling until next spring to give
the new grading more time to settle.
Mr.. Noel's refusal is believed due to
the fact that he wishes to complete
the work as soon as possible in order
to get his money on final estimate
for the S94,366.87 contract. A. d.
McKinnon. project engineer for the
state highway department, states,
! however, that if Noel insists on be-
ginning the work now he will receive
no pay for it because the contract
specified that before the work is
started the contractor must have a
checker from the highway departing mt
and this the department will refuse to
furnish at this time. a.

OVER LIES HURDLES

Of 1870. Similar appalling facts
were obtained during the Great War
ten years ago.
Physicians are accustomed 10 sur
round prospective mothers with all
possible safeguards against influ-
ences that debilitate and undermine
health, strength and nerve force. Yet
"with one fell swoop" any war can
vitiate and bring to naught what
science and education have labored
so hard to build up.
When a treaty Is signed a war Is
not ended! As regards its mental
effects on the children born during
a war and thereafter its pernicious
influence has only begun.
Happily, America did not feel the
full impact Of the late war as did
Europe. But IL a war wore fought
on this soil the results would be
the same!
1t is true that we can counteract
many, il not most, of the deleterious
consequences Of morbid heredity.
Still, comparatively few people
know how. Most are unable to
profit by the knowledge.
To think that even the innocent
unborn Of the future may suffer
is one Of the strongest reasons 1
know for outlawing war.

Roads Of Rome
By Garrett P. Serviss

1t appears after all that the IA
nous Roman roads, built for eter-
nifty" were not as good as ours.
They would have been quickly de-
stroyed by our automobile traffic.
Even as it was, their surfaces were
not very, durable, and once broken
were seldom repaired. The under
part, buried deep in the earth, was
indeed as lasting as rock, being com
posed of solid concrete, but the COW
ering, having no elasticity, soon
began to deteriorate, and could not
readily be mended.
So rigidly was the road surface
cemented together and united, as
in a single piece, with the solid
substructure, that after it had
once been broken and worn into
ruts and cavities, repairs were
almost impossible, except a little
here and there, and these being
done with cement, which did not
firmly attach itself to the older
parts, were not durable.
The present rough aspect of
the lava paved streets of Pom
peii, Valence, etc, is thought TO
show the condition in which the
Roman roads were generally left
after traffic had once broken and
channeled their unyielding sur.
faces.
The Distinguishing difference be-
tween the Roman and modern
roads is found in the great depth
and extreme rigidity Of the for
mer contrasted with the slight
depth and great Elasticity of the
latter. The Roman roads were
truly built for eternity az far as
tho foundation was concerned.
That consisted Of a block Of con-
crete often a yard in vertical thick
ness, and ten or twelve feet wide
at the bottom, where It rested or
q platform Of flat stones. On top
Of this the roadway of masonry
was firmly cemented.
The cost Of such work would
be prohibitive in these days, even
after every foreign war specula~
tors like Crassus, whose buyers
followed in the footsteps Of the
legions, brought tens Of thousands
Of slaves 10 Rome, where they
were sold at a price below that Of
lambs--while the government had
as many as it could use for nothing
there was no lack Of cheap main
d'oeuvre 10 construct thousands OF
miles or road, scanning the soil ot
the empire like buried walls.
Caesar, kding in a Rolls-Royce
at 80 miles an hour, and being as
much engineer as conqueror, might
reform modern road-bupding as sue
cessfully as be reformed the ancient
calendar.

Refuses to Cut Wages

NE lone manufacturer has Spilled the beans" for
] the embattled textile magnates of New England
- who recently decreed 10 per cent decrease in
wages without previously consulting their employees or
the labor unions concerned
President William L. Allendorf, of the North Bel
lingham Wooden company, large employer and vete-
in the textile industry fatty declares that no cut in
wages will be instituted in his plant at least not unless
and until competition demands such action.
President Allendorf adds that he considers the an
nouncement of decrease in wages untimely and un-
necessary in view of the fact that the cost of living has
not decreased reduction in wages he further declares
would not materially increase business in the textile
industry the proposed trng reduction in the price
of cloth would not bring increased buying by merchants.

In arguments and discussions one

We are Mortified at its toll Of

Many scientists hold that the COM

SAN ANTONIO,
AUGUST ID, 1925.
China and America
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The Sunday papers in this coun.
try, it is said, alone take 1900 acres
of wood pulp every Sunday.
The rapid depletion of our for
ests by business as well as by fire
constitutes almost a crisis in our
national history. Something ought
to be done.
Forests are not only a source Of
wealth to the country in producing
nuts and building material, but they
favorably effect the climate Of
country as to the rainfall and drain
age.
The American Tree Association
asks no dues, but only that everyone
plant tree and register the same
with them. Thus anyone can be-
come a member.
There are 40, 900 members in this
tree-planting army now, and it h
hoped that the work will 60 on.
Nothing but popular sympathy
and public opinion can save the tree,
which is one Of the best friends of
man.
Whether we are all descendants
from tree inhabitants, whether the
doctrines Of evolution are true or
not, it is certain that at present
the tree is one Of the main factors
in current civilization. The care of
it should be a matter of govern
mental policy and of universal and
popular interest.

Wayside Wisdom
By S. E. Kiser.

II you are doing little things,
Such things as anyone may do,
The critics will not be inclined
To cause disturbance in your mind
By asking what is wrong with
you.
Pursue an ordinary course,
Repeat what often has been said,
And men will let you plug away,
And you will never have to pay
The price it costs to be ahead.
II Caesar had been satisfied
To travel in common rut
No scoffer ever would have tried
To make him vince with wounded
pride;
He would have missed nasty
cut.
The man who dares to do or try
To do what never has been done
Must not expect to hear the praise
OF those who cling to well-worn
ways:
There will be gantlcts he must
run.
The Newtons and the Fultons find
That willing listeners are few;
The wrights may fly, but, even 50,
The doubters, seeing from below,
Will not believe it can be true.
The crowd is quick to "see" the joke
The clown repeats if it is tritc;
The old stuff goes, but he must not
Expect 10 get hand if what
He has to say is new and bright.
Not till you earn the critics blame,
Not till they speak Of you with
scorn,
Shall you have any right 10 claim
The hope that future men may name
You fondly with the nobly born.

Most common Of all human all

ductive of an endless chain of symp-
toms, is that simple physical defect
constipation.

the Supreme Architect, but there is
no doubt in my mind that man has
ten or fifteen feet too much intes-
tine. 1t was all right when we
lived in savage state and ate the
rough foods of field and forest. But
with the advent of modern cooking,
denatured foods and softness Of life,
everything has changed. ~
If we could make the passage way
between stomach and exit a good
deal more direct, there would not
dam up within us a fostering, fer
menting mass Of disease producing
material. One Of the penalties of
civilized living is the digestive con-
dition which makes for constipation.
The natural result of our mode Of
living and of eating of the foods we
must take is sluggishness Of bowel
action. 1t requires constant thought
fulness and care to prevent it. 1t
is safe to assume that without this
thoughtfulness and care in the
choice Of foods, constipation is sure
to be present.

IMPORTANCE OF RIGHT DIET

aroused ultimately an appreciation
of the Importance of overcoming or
preventing constipation. 1t is not
necessary to have it, of course, but
you will have it unless you take
heed of a few facts. 1t is almost
an inevitable as the lives we lead,
There is no doubt if our lives we've
but more simple, our food palmer,
our habits more regular, the intes-
final tract would act better. But
that big "if" is in the way.
Roughage is essential to bowel ac-
ton. There must be fibre and sub
stance, or there is nothing for the
walls of the intestines to get hold
of to squeeze the waste material
forward. That is why bran, cab
bage, lettuce, celery, spinach and
fibrous food are recommended.
Also take q tablespoonful of min
eral oil daily-swallowed when the
stomach is empty, three hours after
eating at night or a full half hour
before breakfast. This is a temper
airy expedient and, il the diet is
regulated as it should be, it will not
be necessary to resort to petroleum
oil every day. 1t can be taken for
an indefinite period, but IL you live
as you should and eat as you should
it will not be necessary to depend
on any medicine, even 50 simple and
harmless a thing as petroleum oil.

Are we going the way of China?
China has a civilization older
than our own and culture which
looks down upon ours.
There are many things that are
admirable about the Chinese people.
Yet no one can visit their country
and view its arid wastes of land
without hoping that our country
will not reach the same pass.
China and the United States are
about the only two large countries
on the globe that have no national
forest policy.
China has squandered its trees
recklessly. 1t has cut down its for
ests and used the material wasteful-
ly for building and for fuel. 1t has
had no policy of replanting.
This has been going on for hun
dreds Of years. China is now pay
ing the penalty in periodical floods,
in famines, and in other forms Of
disaster.
The United States is headed in
the same direction.
There are eighty-one millions of
ACRES of idle land in this country
that are fit for nothing but growing
trees. They ought to be put to
