Impossible to Buy Fords With Church Notices.

Carroll County Chtizen-Times: It was at the “Press’ conference of the state Sunday school convention at Logansport Tuesday afternoon. Lanai® McPhetridge, veteran newspaperman, was presiding, and the subject under discussion was publicity for Sunday school work, the best kind and how to obtain it. Ora McDaniels, editor of “The Hustler,” published at Advance, Ind., rose and deposed as follows: “In a small town there must.be something else in the paper besides church news! We are glad to get it ibut sometimes there is a superabundance of if! It is all free, and, if we run everything free how will we eat? A surfeit of free stuff and a Shortage of paid advertising is the diagnosis for a hungry-looking editor. Some of us even can’t scrape together enough to get a Ford.”

HUNDREDS DYING DAILY IN WILD RUSH FOR CORN

Many Persons in City ‘of Mexico Wait to Obtain Share of Fast-FaiMag Stock of Food Supplies. , City of Mexico, May 29.—Fron* 12,000 to 20,000 of the city’s poor have been standing in line at the food distributing station from 3 o’clock in the morning until long after dark for the last seven days in an effort to get enough com to keep aflive. From 8 in the morning until 2 id the afternoon they bear the hot rays of a tropical sun, and from the latter hour until dark they stand in downpours of rain, for the wet season baa begun. On some days as many as 200 have been carried away on stretchers. So desperate have the rushes for corn become at tqnes that the'soldiers guarding the lines in the effort to maintain a semblance of order have Amd to fire over the beads of hungry throngs. While these scenes were being enacted on the streets in various sections of the city, delegates to the nartional convention were quarreling over whether Gen. Garza or Gen. Faiafox should be named chief executive. At times the debate became so fierce as to cause weapons to be ditown. The delegates, when not engaged with matters of personal precedence and office seeking, devote their time to passing laws such as bills to compel the tilling of all vacant lots, though seed com for planting and water for irrigation are lacking, and bills to lower the price of cereals, although little is to be had at any price. One delegate introduced a bill making labor compulsory on all, especially the rich men. This man is first assistant to a cabinet minister.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915.

STILL BOOSTING THE AIRLINE ROUTE

Rensselaer Band Joined Frankfort and Lafayette Boosters on Trip to Cedar Lake. Auto loads of boosters for the Dixie Highway dined today, Saturday, at Cedar Lake, where a fish dinner was provided. The hosts were the commissioners at Lake county and the guests included several from Lafayette and Frankfort, also from this city. The Rensselaer band furnished the music, playing in front of .the courthouse when the automobiles from the south arrived and imoflcing the trip to the lake in several machines provided here. Those who were here from Frankfort and Lafayette include the men who have been active from the start in trying to have the Hammond, Grown Point, Rensselaer, Lafayette, Frankfort and Lebanon route adopted as the official Dixie highway. Failing to do that they determined to improve the route through the cities named and the trip was made at this tkne to discuss with the county commissioners and road builders the plan of bettering the road .to make it the most attractive route from Chicago to Indianapolis travelers. The Frankfort party that was here this morning consisted of W. /L. Brown, Fred S. Coulter, Chester Counter, Earl Stroup, secretary of the chamber of commerce; Guy Brewer, county surveyor; Robert Boynton, city engineer; Oliver Gard, mayor; Albert G. Ayers, F. M. Davis, John Shanks, Chas. McQuinn and R. W. Gable. The throe last named are the county commissioners of Clinton county. Young Chester Coulter was making the trip on a motorcycle. Those from Lafayette were Thos. Fallen, who heads the committee for the highway project; D. M. Boyle, county road superintendent; Tom Gwinne, J. L. Eithrow and J. C. F. Redinbo, commasrionere of Tippecanoe county; P. J. Wall, G&. Burton, Prof. H. E. Martin, of Purdue; A. V. Weigel, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and also secretary of the Airline Highway Association; Edward Watson and George Franklin. IProf. Martin has been traveling over the state making * study of road construction and the repair and preservation of roads and following the dinner at Cedar Lake he made an address on the subject, discussnig the oiling, the making of good roods and the value of shade trees along the road. It is expected to get busy at once and improve the roadway by grading and oilimg. lit expected bo mark the posts along the route and to secure (funds for other improvements. Mr. Martin, in discussing roads with the writer, stated that stone roods would not hold up under heavy auoftmobile travel unless the surface is treated in some manner and he considers oil the best method. Tarvia, he says, is a good temporary binder but is not lasting and is too expensive for the benefit derived. The Republican is in favor of anything that is for the general good of the city and community and it would be a nice thing in the future to have this route extensively used by tourists but we believe also that the time must come when autoists pay a rear proportion of the upkeep of the roads which they use. So far, tsrmers have built tberoads andthe big machines from Chicago and otter places have torn them to pieces. The county spent something like $25,000 last year for road repairs and nrany of the roads are torn up worse than they were a year a ®°* struetkm is necessary but it is not fair that the farm owners should pay more for the roads than would conoonetruct roads suitable for the needs of the farmers living along the highway. / . The development of the motor business and its use in heavy hauling should be the basis for some important legislation, at the next session of congress and roads that are adopted an the main highways should be given state aid and the motor owners should be required to pay money into this fund. One day last week * bjg truck hauled a load of household goods from Chicago to Indwnapolfe. Hie track owner received ♦66toflr the trip. He went over improved roads for which the fanners had paoa and the use of the road did not cost the truck owner a cent. It is not fate. .. _ However, the ultimate construction of roads along a basis that is equxtdbla should not deter us from doing all that is reasonable to pot the airline route in better condition ami money expended for grading and oiling will probably be weH spent. The Interest shown in this matter now will doubtless help to have thm route chosen when plans are developed for construction of a tasting kind. The Republican expects to see the come when either steam railroad rights-of-way «r other crons country

Calling cards at The Republican.

routes are paved for motor travel. The next ten or twenty years may witness the time when the motor rsam will carry moat of the freight and when great .trucks will back up to the com cribs and carry your corn to the seaboard. The elimination of overhead expenses, the reduced upkeep of the road, the expense of terminal stations, the ehminaticu of switching expense, the limiting of wrecks, the convenience in travel, the hastening of deliveries all contribute to the possibility of moter traffic with the development of permanent hard surface roads. The fact that the steam roads are now feeling the competition of the motor business is but an indvwtMm of what the next few years will produce and some morning we will wake up to read in the morning paper that some great railroad has decided to brick or concrete its right-of-way and adopt motor cars instead of steam trains. It will either be that, with protected rights by a taw providing teUsro the main reads must be bmft «f a hard surface and tasting material. The only thing to do now is to grade* repair and oil. The Airline Highway Association should be helped this much by the eosnmissioncss of each county.
