HIGHWAYS AND vAIl-ES

A booster for improved dirt roads the other day stated that IS per cent of the produce from Connecti- c"t farms is allowed to go to waste because growers are unable to bring the produce to market over the poor roads. This may be one way of utter. ing propaganda: in other words m eNaggeration uttered in order to jm- press legislators with the import- ance Of putting the side roads in condition which they decided to
 avoid doing. If these roads were per- feet so the inference runs, the state
 would be the gainer by Is per cent or its products. But if IS per cent more farm products were brought

ERA OF THE NEAR.0REAT

Although the grape vine service from the National Broadcasting Co. tells us that some "big artists are going on the air within . few weeks Or months. we refuse to get ex- cited about it. Statistics show that there have been fewer stellar singers and instrumentalists on the air this seaAon than during several past sea- sons; yet the radio mosuls and the public seem to agree that the pro- grams have advanced at least slight ly. The fact is. the public long ago tot over the thrill Of hearing a biz artist over the air, especially con- sidering the self-evident fact that . plenitude of not big artists have been heard with satisfaction.
 When the big artist goes on the air he remains the big boy. but he is more inclined to disport himself in . manner to please the average listener;" he avoids the very kind of music that has made him great. and sings or plays the saWe touching lit- tie pieces that the near-greats can do about equally well. Hence the diff ference between the big name and the little name is not so very ap- parent over the radio.
 The radio has shown up the biz names about as effectually as any thing ever invented; and this not be- cause the poasessors of the big names have not made good over the air, but because the radio has given . horde of the artistic underlinss q chance to show their class. And these. too, have made good. For. merly, unless an artist had a terrific reputation as star of hish caliber. he had a difficult time obtaining en. gagements. The radio has made myriads of such near-greats known to the public. These have proved that there is no monopoly in art by the popular idols.

He scared on the period st imitation with A pretty collection of mort sages. but figured they would take care of themselves quite easily. con- sidering how splendidly things were going. But when the deflation period arrived he went broke, or nearly 70. Now he aeeds farm relief. That ilulstration could be multiplied thousands of times in the West. It didn't happen in New England be- cause there were few frantically speculative farmers in these re- gions; but it happened to many c former New Enslander in the West.

cally advanced. seems based on sound logic.
 The states which held out longest against gasoline taxes were New York. Illinois and Massachusetts; and in those states the opposition of automotive interests in New York. Chicago and Boston was concerned with the inequalities of the tax. The tax is to help in tho construction of country roads, they were told: why, they countered. should they be re- quired 10 build country roads when they never travelled elsewhere than on city streets? But they lost the argument. The first result in New York. 1t seems. will be considerably 1 higher taxi fares.
 Higher taxi fares mean less rid- ing. Less of this means fewer taxis. In New York, where taxis threaten to inflict bodily harm at every street crossing. fewer of these cruising juggernauta may be a pleasing to everyone except the taxi men. The private car uses about $50 gallons of gasoline a year. it ia stated. The taxicab used 7.5s5. Arond the Grand Central station one gets the impression there are many more taxicabs than private automo- 1 piles in New York.
 l When the gas taxes go into effect in Illinois and massachusetts, the same vail will so up in Chicago and 1 Boston; rates undoubtedly will 50 up.
 l More and more the cities are pay ! ing for the improvement Of the rural sections.

THE. SPELLING BEE

Tonight will see the finals of the annual Herald spelling bee, and 1t promises to be an event greatly superior to any of its three predeces- sors. Sundry youthful contestants. Washington, are prepared to do bat tie with the English language. They have gone into training for the af- fair. like athletes preparing for

 The boys and girls will combat the before . crowded house, in which every contestant will be represented by well-wishing friends Public inter- est likewise is widespread. The con. testants go into the fray with the realization that the eyes Of the city are upon them.
 The recrudescence of spelling bees ia a development that is worthy of unstinted support. In days past they were part of the curriculum in every schoolhouse, and it is mystery in- deed how it came about that these wholesome contests were ever drop- ped. Their advantages were self-evi- dent, and thus we find an almost universal revival Of this worthy ir- stitution: and as we do everything on big scale nowadays. the spelling matches likewise are carried out with more eclat and under the spot light Of community interest
 Educators throughout the city are 10 be commended for their thorough cooperation and for their readiness to acknowledge the educational po.- abilities of such an event.

 According to Melvin Hafey q don't say this just because he's mine but he really is a wonderful kid. Only six months old-and his boss told me confidentially that he's one of the best outfielders playing baseball. today. .. Every man in the organization tried to sell that Eureka suspender bunch and failed but my kid hopped train for Keokuk and walked right across the dining room to me with out any help.
 '"The other night he said the cut est thing: Papa, if you'll gimme a nickel I'll buy an option on that piece of property and we'll split fifty-fifty.' He also holds the inter- collegiate record for the javeltn throw and never cries at night. Why, his nurse puts him to bed at seven and we don't hear a peep out of him until he's going to marry Judge Zipser's daughter, a mighty sweet and lovable girl. He stands over six feet and weighs about a hundred and eighty.
