POOR ROADS CAUSE I

FARM ABAIID0IIMEI1T Farmers Should. Co-operate for Better Highways Says Logan Waller Page. (Palladium Special) .Washington. June 19. "Philosopher who have been deploring the trend of population from country to city," aid Logan Waller Page, director of Road a In an Interview given out in Washington today, "might as well save their energy, unless tbey are pre pared to help change the conditions re sponsible for the migration. At the root of this condition are the poorly kept roads of the country. It is cer tain that the farmers do not get the use of their share of the money earn d in the United States. There are ow over 90,000,000 in this country, and nearly one-third are farmers and tbelr families. The products of the farm are responsible for more than one-tblrd of the wealth and commerce of the country. No one can say, how ever, that one-third of this wealth is uied by the farmer in the betterment of the country districts. "It is due to the Inactivity and lack of co-operation among the farmers that country districts have become depopulated. The 'back to the country' movement has had a considerable vogue at sumptuous banquets in cities, but the movement has not gotten far out of town, for the simple reason that life In the slums, despite all theories, frequently is much more livable than life in the country. Cities Mere Healthy. "While fine phrases can be made In the discussion of the Joy and health of hand labor in the open air and under the sun,' it is a fact that condi tlons In the cities are much more healthy today than conditions In the country. Sanitation is better, and the air In tenements is little worse than the air In many country houses wherebecause of the extreme cold and lack of proper heating apparatus, the win dows must be kept closed from Octo ber until May. "Improper sanitation, poor drainage and poor highways in - the country have brought about as great a per -i centage of diseases as exist in the city, While country people are free, as rule, from tuberculosis, they are ex teremely liable to typhoid fever, pneu monia and other diseases that are brought on by improper drainage and Improper ventilation. , .. "The work that is being done towards the improvement of roads throughout the country will change this condition. Improved . roads will give to the country districts the lm provements enjoyed by fashionable su burbs, and will Improve drainage, and wlue out Isolation. In- most locali ties, life on farms invariably becomes. as a result of bottomless roads, isolat ed and debarred of social enjoyment and pleasures, and country people In gome communities suffer such disadvantages that ambition la checked. energy weakened, and industry paratyied. Under such conditions, It is but natural that persona engaged in farmlng, especially the younger folks, should seek life and gayety of the cities. There they feel they will find recreation, variety, youtn, oeauiy ana music. . "The difference between good and

bad roads Is often equivalent to the the drectorg of the company, Post addifference between profit and loss. mitted h had refused to vote the

Money wisely expended for this purpose Is sure to return ten-fold; and now that the states are expending in the aggregate one million 'dollars a day for road Improvement conditions in tS!Jnir5rfre!,lkf,y t0,8 !mpr,n d that the trend toward the city will be stopped and the overflow la the cities will turn to the country.'

MILLIONS NETTED TO SUGAR KINGS Pres. Post of Company Ad mits Enormous .Value of Watered Stock. .. (National Kw Association) Washington, June 19. Before the house investigation committee today after the committee had overruled the objection of his counsel, Larkin, Mr. James Post, president of the National Sugar Refining company, told a remarkable story of how ten millions in watered stock had been issued at the formation of the National Sugar Refinng company. Post Bald the watered Btock nad been 88ued to him and that ne nad turned It. over to Henry O. Havemeyer whose estate holds it to this rfav althnueh the stock ia still in PoBt. ame. At the last meetlne of tftrlt tha, nuorm would not bG Lre8ent and a9 a re8ult tne old dlrect. ors had been continued in office. These old directors had been named ce for several years. Post said at the organization of the National Sugar Refining company, preferred stock to the amount of $8,250.00 had been issued and then S 10,000,000 in common stock, which was pure water, had been Issued to him, and by him turned over Havemeyer, the sugar king. What was the consideration lor this stock," asked Chairman Hardwick. The combining of the three com panies and the perfection of the organization. As a matter of fact the $10,000,000 was simply the promoters' profits," admitted Post in an answer a question by Hardwlck. IDOLATRY IN MEXICO. The Natives Still Sacrifice Animals te Their Favorite Gods. It may not be as apparent but as a matter of fact Idolatry has a strong a hold on the natives of the Mexican hot lands as when Cortes and his soldiers marched through them on their way to Honduras 400 years ago. ' In the state of Oaxaca, In which Is Tehuantepec, there Is near every village some secluded spot be It a cave, the top of a mountain or a forest encircled pool whither the people clandestinely repair In order to make sacrifices to their gods. The favorite sacrifice Is a goat a turkey or other fowl, the head of which Is cut off and buried, while the toll and the other offerings, consisting of dishes of food and a gourd filled with an Intoxicating drink, are sprinkled with the blood. The place where these sacrifices are made determines their effect. If a Tehuana bears a grudge against a neighbor he will bury the head of a chicken or the bones of a dog at dead of night outside of his victim's house, though, on the other hand. If the ceremony Is performed within It can bring nothing but good luck. The natives of the Isthmus firmly believe that every child at birth be comes Intimately connected with some beast of the Jungle, and the grownup man will never hurt that particular kind of animal. If the animal dies, the child dies too. The question Is to determine Just what kind of an animal It Is. and In order to reassure himself 'the father sprinkles ashes or dust on the ground outside the house at the child's birth- and - watches for a spoor.

A L RALLY AT FRISCO Triennial International Convention Will Begin Its Sessions Tuesday. - j (National News Association): San Francisco, June 19. The hotels of this city are crowded to their utmost capacity and the thousands of delegates to the International Sun day School Triennial convention, which will open its seven day session here tomorrow and close on Tuesday, June 27, are busily engaged in search ing for quarters among the list of boarding houses supplied by the ar rangements committee. Indications are that this convention's delegates will out number those of any previous organization meeting in the history of Kan rranosco, and will reacn, at a conservative estimate about 20,000. Part of the program of exercises for the week will include two big outdoor meetings, one in Golden Gate park and the other at the Hearst Greek theater in Berkeley. Every phase of Sunday school work is to be treated by specialists at the various meetings. The Rev. Dr. A. F. Schauffler and the Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, both of New York, are to take leading parts in the work of the convention. Work in Far East. Frank L. Brown of Brooklyn, who is at the head of one of the largest Sunday schools in the world and who recently made a tour of Japan, Korea and China in the interest of the World's Sunday School association, is to make, it is said, an address that will attract much attention. Many prominent New Yorkers are to be in the delegation from that Btate. From New York city are coming among others. Colonel FL W. Halford, Frederick B. Smith and the Rev. Dr.s H. C. Herring, W. I. Haven, J. T. McFarland and O. H. Mead. One feature of the gathering will be a great chorus of l.t01 trained voices. Singers from all the big cities are in the chorus and are having rehearsals under Robert Husband. It is intended to make this chorus tbe equal of those in London and other large cities when the international gatherings met in those places. From this choir it is expected that a nucleus will be made for the gre.t world's fair chorus In 1915, when choirs from all over the country are expected to compete for honors as has always been the custom with Europ ean choira during lnternat'onal ex positions. An orchestra of a hundred musi cians will augment the pipe organ. Wallace I. Sabin being orchestra lead er. No such aggregation of musicians has ever been brought together In San Francisco, and those In charge feel highly elated at the progres that has been made, for it not only augers well for the big entertainment feature of the International Sunday School convention, but it gives promise of what San Francisco may hope to ac complish musically in 1915. - , there will be f ne musical programs at all of the big mass meetings during convention week. The Coliseum and the Hearst Greek theater will be occupied on Sunday, June 25, with noted .speaker when large choirs, made up of sections of the grand choral society of the convention, will add tn the attractiveness of those occasions.

A PAINFUL MEMORY ONLY REMAINS HOW Plants of the Old Richmond Natural Gas Company Being Dismantled. (Palladium Special) New Castle, Ind., June 13. A syndi

cate, composed of Henry C. Starr, of Richmond; James P. Goodrich, Winchester; Clement V. Hooven, of Anderson, and Bacon & Olds, of Indianapolis, which some time ago got possession of the property of the old Richmond Gas company in this county, including the pipelines, abandoned gas wells and the pumping station eight miles west of this city, will have re moved all of this property in a short time. Former natural gas consumers of this city and vicinity will only have a painful memory of the supply of natural gas, cheap fuel and lighting eervice. The disappearance of the supply is attributed to th big pumping station which the Richmond Gas company installed in the heart of the Cadiz gas field, west of this city, where gas was abundant and which supplied this city and other sections of the county. Dismantles Pumping Station. The syndicate which bought the Richmond company's property has about completed the removal of pipelines and is now dismantling the big pumping station west of this city. The four tall smokestacks which could be seen for several miles have been tak en dow n and the work of removing '. the boilers and pumping machinery is well under way.. All material is being hauled to Kennard for shipment. The buildings will be "left intact as they are a part of the company's property hich was sold some time ago. Before the citizens of Henry county realized their gas Held had been inaded for the purpose of supplying Richmond with gas the Richmond Gas company bought a farm in the heart of the gas field and waa hauling machinery and equipment from Kennard for the installation of the pumping station. Attempts were made to prevent the pumping of the gas out of the county, but they failed and four years after the big station was put into operation the gas supply had dwindled to such an extent that it was useless here. The gas supply, prior to the installation of "the pumping station, was unlimited and farmers used the pressure for pumping water and grind ing feed, and had flambeaux, burning night and day- in and about their homes and barnyards in addition to their fuel, Profit in Old Material. The syndicate which bought the mains will profit by its purchase. The farmers objected to the digging up of the mains, but the courts finally ruled in Its ' favor, and the work has now progressed so far all will have been removed in two months, including the small pipelines that connected the various wells with the main pipeline. The farm on which tbe pumping sta tion stood was sold to farmers who had land adjoining. At Kennard, Millville. and. Hagerstown are large quantities of rusty pipe stored, whih has been dug out of the ground, end which is said to be worth 50 cents a foot. REPORT 5TH VICTIM IN AEROPLANE RACE BULLETIN. Paris, June 19.

Tbe sense of humor Is tbe "saving sense" principally because It saves us from ourselves. The person who cannot laugh at himself now and then Is to be pitied. Moreover, tbe person who cannot take good naturedly the occasional bantering of others Is In the same class of disagreeables. A well directed shaft of raillery will often find tbe vulnerable point 'In our armor of self complacency and abow ua wbere our self satisfaction is all wrong. True humor, however, must spring as much from tbe heart as from tbe bead. Its essence must be truth and friendliness, not contempt There never was a good Joke yet that told a lie or besmirched a reputation. Humor which carries with It a sting to wound tbe sensitiveness or delicacy of one who does not deserve to suffer Is not true humor. San Francisco Chronicle.
