8IGN8 OF PROGRESS.

Uncle Sam Is doing exhaustive research to stir the people of the nation to a realization of the importance of gopd roads. In a government i*eport just issued it is said that of the roads •1*1 the country today but ten percent of them can be classed as Improved roads. To improve the remaining 90 percent may well seem a big job. It

Is, in fact, only made possible because the work really pays for itself. From material gathered by the United States department of agriculture it is now possible to prove not only that good roads are a profitable investment, but to determine ecxactly what dividends they pay. An investigator assigned to this problem in any given locality first ascertains the extent of the territory that 5s tributary to some river. The |e next step is an accurate estimate of the total products of this territory so much grain, so much tobacco, so much S garden truck, etc. Of this quantity a §j certain portion is consumed on the I farm, the rest is shipped over the road II in question. The whole calculation can then be checked by investigators at the shipping point to which the road Wds.

In general it has been found that the two methods yield much the same InS? formation—the total amount of produce hauled over the road. Next, the length of the average haul is calculated, the size of the load permitted by ^he character of the road ascertained, sand the cost of teams and drivers flg-"'-iired. With these facts before him the HI investigator is now able to state posi|jf ftively the cost of hauling a ton of produce on that road, to express In $ terms of these "ton-miles" the freight traffic on the road, and finally the total cost to the community served by the I" road of hauling its goods to market.

Armed with those data it is easy to de- .. cide how much money can be profitably

spent in improving the road and what p!/ are the returns that the investment fields to the community. 3, 'f. These returns are of various kinds. ^'First and foremost is the reduction in if-^the actual cost of hauling, the plain fact that it takes less time and labor to haul a load over a good road than over a poor one. Less obvious is the effect of improved roads in increasing the total output of a community. In he case of one county in Virginia where particularly thorough records ^have been kept, this output was more

Ifthan doubled. The farmers found that

with a market always and readily accessible to them It paid to work the land to its maximum production.

This explains the very remarkable rise in farm land values which nearly always accompanies road Improvement The rise is not a fictitious one, of no benefit to the man who wishes to farm and not to sell. The land is more valuable because it can profitably be made to produce more. In other words, the money that goes into the road comes back with interest from the land.

VACANCY ON THE BENCH.

The first vacancy on the supreme court bench since the inauguration of President Wilson came with the death oi Associate Justice Lurton on Sunday. Interest will attach to the president's selection of the new member for thu3 will be indicated t/ie character of man and judge deemed by the chief executive fitted for this high duty.

Justice Lurton was first of the five members of the supreme bench appointed by Mr. Taft—the five having constituted a majority of the court since March, 1912. It has been given to few presidents thus virtually to create a new supreme court.

Mr. Wilson has a respect for the constitution and a realization of the Importance of maintaining It against the thoughtless radicalism always ready to destroy it, no less marked than had Mr. Taft. The former president largely ignored party in his several appointments to this bench. It would be very much like the present executive to manifest equal independence In the one selection which duty brings him.

GETTING AN AUDIENCE.

A car card adlvertiser in New York has adopted what is described as a novel scheme to make his publicity more effective. On one card he displays the few words that the space permits to direct attention to his product. In order to increase the chances that these will be read, he buys the adjoining spaces on either side, each of which contains a drawing calculated to direct the eyes of the reader to the central card. Three advertising spaces are thus paid for to do the work of one.

The man who prints his advertising in a good daily newspaper need not resort to any expensive artifices to get a hearing.

Nobody ever heard of a newspaper advertiser flanking his announcement with other notices to direct attention to its publication.

No newspaper advertiser pays three times the (value of a column of space to make sure that the column will catch the eye of the reader/ ~r'/-

It makes a ,great deal of difference in the cost of advertising whether it is printed where people want to see it or not.

Newspaper readers—and that means everybody—hunt up advertisements of their own accord, and you can get next to the people who use the cars and the people who ride in automobiles, and the people who walk, and you can collect dividends on every line of space you pay for.

SEND FOR MASTERSON.

There remains but one piece of stage setting to acquire to make the Long Island case a fine '"mystery" story. So far "Bat" Masterson has kept aloof and excitement lags from his absence. By this time the public is pretty familiar with the fact that Mrs. Bailey was mysteriously murdered In Dr. Carmen's

office. We hope they will soon find out who did it. The mystery started out well and for a time made rattling good summer reading. Then so many sleuths got into it that they muddied the waters, so to speak. The trails have been so trampled by Mr. Burns and "my operatives" and hordes of other Hawkshaws, professional and amateur, as to obliterate them. From this distance the detectives appear to be chasing each other in circles, very much bloodhounds might chase their tails.

The only tangible result so far has been to "discredit" everybody in all that section of country. If the detectives may be said to have any purposa beyond shadowing each other it is to "discredit" the general population. (We are grateful that the Bailey murder was not done in this neck of the woods.)

Murder will out, they say. If this ore "outs" it will have to make its way against terrific odds.

BOY SCOUTS RECEIVE BANNER.

More Than 100 Attend Meeting At Collett Park. More than a hundred boy tcouts of the city met at Collett park Tuesday evening to receive a banner from Balrd corps No. 33, women's relief corps. Mrs. T. J. Keylon, president of the corps, was In charge of the meeting. The Rev. H. Farr Waggener gave the opening prayer. "Aunt Jane" Cowan made the presentation speech to the boy scouts and Scout Commissioner Walter A. Haley accepted the banner. The new banner will make its appearance during the uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, encampment next week.

Troop Three held a meeting at the park Tuesday afternoon. Each scout was given a part of the district In which he lives to notify the property owners to clean up and decorate for the Pythian encampment.

One scout reported fifty homes In Terre Haute that needed cleaning up for the Pythian week. The matter was referred to the board of safety.

HOROSCOPE FOR A PAY.

The stars Incline, but do not eempel.

Thursday, July 16. 1914.

Caution should rule today, if the warning of the stars is heeded. A1 though Jupiter and Mercury are in benefic aspect early in the day, Uranus and Saturn are adverse during the hours of general activity.

Uranus is in a place held as particularly unfortunate for love affairs. The rule Is not a lucky one for new romances! It is particularly bad for persons born between January 20 and February 18.

Flirtations begun on this date are subject to misleading influences, which are believed to cause persons easily to deceive one another.

The planets this summer are' read as exceedingly inimical to men and women of all ages who Indulge In sentimental friendships. Women should be extraordinarily circumspect, the seers declare.

The sway of the stars is said to be conducive to an unusual craving for amusement. Dissatisfaction and restlessness are .foreshadowed as common among young and old.

This is not an auspicious day tor beginning journeys of Importance. Accidents may take place, particularly on railways. New scandals that reveal criminal Indifference to the safety of travelers will be uncovered.

There is a prophecy of difficulty in moving crops from the west. Trouble with freight cars Is predicted. A fire that will destroy grain is foretold.

Saturn has a sinister aspect today, which indicates danger from falls. Aerial navigation is under an unhappy omen.

Bloodshed in the suffragette war carried on in England is repeatedly foreshadowed by astrology. Death will come to a very prominent woman. Riots are again imminent.

This week and next should be fairly good for farmers of the west and east.

Persons whose birthdate it is should not make any changes within the year. They may have anxieties in business. Young women may have offers of marriage, which will not be advantageous.

Children born on this day will be of an Impulsive, restless disposition. They may make numerous sea voyages. As subjects of Cancer they are ruled principally by the moon, which gives them variable natures.

How to Get Rid of Eczema *r

Your Blood Must be Right if Skin is to Heal

Impurities Will Come Out Some* where Working outwardly through a myriad of very small blood vessels, the famous blood purifier S. S. S. brings to the skin hew material for its regeneration. And as these new materials keep up a flood of action they keep crowding off thS scales or patches of eczema, new, smooth skin forms beneath, all destructive* germs cease to withstand the constant healthful influence of S. S. S. and the most baffling case of eczema just dries up and is gone forever. You can't cure eczema by smearing the skin you can relieve the itch and burn but to cure it the blood must be right. There is no getting away from this fact.

Get a bottle of S. S. S. today of any druggist then write for a copy of "What the Mirror Tells" published by The Swift Specific Co., l/j Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.

For more detailed directions write the medical department as suggested in cirfcular around the bottle of S. S. S. Avoid substitutes that may contain harmful mineral drugs. S. S. S. is purely vegetable.
