The Michigan HighwayResidents of Fountain City and other towns along state highway No. 21, which is .the thoroughfare north to Michigan, and one that has ! been traversed since pioneer days, have a parjdonable amount of justification in demanding (the permanent improvement of the highway.

At its best the route is far from being a satj isfactory one for the hauls which farmers must

make over it to marketing centers, and it con

I tributes little to the comfort of the motorists who

use it to go north to Michigan.

The state highway department will be asked to make improvements so that the highway will

be in a condition year in and out to accommd

date the heavy traffic which uses it. In this de

sire the whole country joins. The east and west highway through the coun

ty is in good condition, and the increasingly large

number of tourists who use it demonstrate it

value as a transportation medium. " The north

ern route has been neglected.

The value of the highway cannot be over

estimated. Travel "from ."Kentucky and Ohio points that clears by way of Cincinnati probably would prefer using this route if it were in good

condition, as it leads directly north to Fort Wayne, and strategically leads to the northern part of Indiana and the Michigan cities.

Jhe Chicago School Board Probe The investigation of the expenditures by the Chicago school board reveals a shameless expenditure of the" public funds for the benefit of friends of the administration or of members of the board. - One method of rewarding the faithful was

through insurance whicn the board placed on

every article imaginable in the school system.

Friends of the ones in power naturally wrote the

contracts and benefited directly from the trans action.

Other revelations pertain to the letting of

contracts and the buying of supplies, in which a

ruthless prodigality was practiced. The public did not benefit, but contractors and political

friends did in an amazing manner. Chicago is learning the truth of these trans

actions now, and the revelation is making even

that city, hardened as it is to political corrup

tion, wonder at the brazen audacity of the school

board. '

Touring the Bluegrass State Beautiful Scenes Make Region One of Most Attractive Tour- " '''"" """" Ing Spots in the Whole Country. - ' ' ; ' ' - 1

By FREDERICK J. HASKIX I LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct: i Inter-1 state tourists who visit the Bluegrass region 6hould avoid making the tour in late summer or early autumn' unles3 there has been great abundance of rain. Bluegrass thrives on Boil -which rests upon limestone. The effects of drought and summer heat are devastating temporarily. An August landscape 6ere and yellow from high temeratures and lack of moisture is revived magically by the first heavy rain. ; The tourist who chances to drive through Kentucky during the drought is likely to wonder why it it far famed for its grass. 1 ' ' ' It is possible to see the Bluegrass region in a day from an automobile, or to spend a week or two driving through if upon a new' road each day. This small section of the state has no definitely settled boundaries, and so proud are Central Kentuckians of residence there that to mention boundaries in a border country is to injure some- ' one's feelings. " Without declaring that this county is, and that county is not, within the charmed circle, it may be said that without violating the speed limit a automobilist may drive from Cincinnati southward, or from Louisville eastward, across the Bluegrass

region and into the blue foothills of the

Cumberland ' mountains without start ing before the sun rises in summer and without driving till sunset In no part of American, or England, are the aspects of rural life more pleasing. ' - The group of eight or ten counties of which Lexington, in Fayette county, is the hub, have had good roads Jo? several generations. ' Their early use of limestone broken with hammers by hand, gave them hard white road3 long ago roads which contrasted striking

ly with the green turf along the right of way, fed by the lime dust made by wheeled traffic passing over the broken etone before scientific' agriculture had introduced "liming" in farming operations. Each of these counties had 400 or 500 miles of white turnpikes, main roads and minor ones included. Along' nearly all cf these roads substantial brick residences, of ten handsome manor houses with stately porticos resting upon Greek columns, reflected the fertility of the soil and the welfare of the landowners. Nowadays the oiling of the roads, and the use of Kentucky rock asphalt as an Improvement upon crushed stone for eurfacing, ' has transformed the main roads from white to black. Many of the minor ones still are white water-

bound macadam running between weathered stone fences and inviting

the" leisurely tourist to endless ram Dllngs. About this section of Kentucky

renters the romance that has made Kentucky's name known all over the wcrld. Here the limestone grows the sxass which provides the best pasture

for thoroughbred horses and other

livestock. Here are the famous nurseries cf thoroughbreds. Here are many

'" landmarks in the history of tbe Ken tncky turf, including the massive mon

uments to Ten Broeck and Longfellow

at the 6nce famous Nantura Stock

Farm. At Nantura the late Franl

Harper, owner of the two horses; lived

for many years constantly armed, af

ter the mysterious murder of Adam

and Betsy Harper, and aged brother

and sister who were clubbed' to deata

in their quaint old farmhouse by some

one whose identity never was learned.

Best Spot In the Garden.

Nearby, in Woodford county, which the late Senator Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn dubbed the asparagus bed

Of the garden spot of God's country,

is" the handsome modern home and

breeding plant of former Senator Johfr

son N; Camden, a West Virginian coal mine owner who married Mis3 Susan

Hart of Spring Hill, an estate upon which the Hart family had lived since

the' Indians were driven from the soi

by Colonel Nathaniel Harf and other pioneers.'" - la this same neighborhood in which the Harpers developed" world renouned

horses while living in a plain old fash

ioned farmhouse live the Alexanders

Englishman of that name who forsook

England to live in Kentucky and aban

aoned a title to become a Kentucky

;entleman, retaining a large income

Torn English mines, and adding to hi

,'orrone by wiee investments in Chica

go real estate.

To mention Bluegrass estates old

and new. each of which J3 ' worth

day's visit, would be to write "a quid

book of this unique region. Among th

new; ones, by the way, is 1 Xalpa, a

thoroughbred iarm whose owner.

Kentuckian, went forth to seek his f or

tune and found it In oil In Mexico. He

imported a small army of Mexican la

borers"" to" beautify his1 ' estate "with road 3 and lakes and to build around It

a 'great stone wall such, as a'.eudal,

lord of England might have fancied In the' Middle Ages.' - - ' - - - Not all of the handsome breeding plants one feees in driving through the Bluegrass are nurseries of thorough bred horses. For example, near the Camden farm is a breeding plant at which Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr., a veteran distiller,' beginning livestock raising when he was eighty years old "assembled what "is" declared to be the largest and most select herd of Hereford cattle ever owned by one -frian. He chose some of his early bulls and cows from the herds of the King at

Windsor Castle,' but cattle joumalt give him high credit as an improver

of the breed. He ha3 sold premium winners at prices almost" incredible to persons unfamiliar wlth the possibilities Jn the Hereford breeding industry Colonel Taylor, who is not far beyond 90 today, and looks 70, still is

as much interested in cattle as the late James B. Haggin of Green Hills

wag in horses when he wa3 famous as the owned of the largest number of

thoroughbred mares the world had

seen under one ownership. High Prices For Hogs. Across the pike from the Taylor cat

tie farm two brothers whose father's

life ambition was to win the Kentucky

Derby, transformed a thoroughbred farm into a hog farm and began what

they termed a more constructive industry. Animals at prices as high as $5,000 sold from the home of the red

hog have rewarded their efforts. Their contention is that the soil and limpstone water which produce famous horses are just as potent factors in

producing fine hogs.' The limestone water of central Ken

tucky, "which 13 said to 'have been a

controlling factor in making the Bour

bon whiskey of this state excellent in the days of licensed distilling, has

a spectacular manifestation at Georgetown, one of the minor cities of the

Bluegrass region" whose water supply

comes solely from a spring' that gush

es from beneath a ledge in a stream large enough to supply several centers

of population as large' as the one' it j

serves. The big spring, almost duplicated at Spring Station in Woodford county, is visited by many travelers junketing through the section. "

A leisurely inspection of the many

excellent examples of colonial and early post-colonial domestic architectur?; which may be seen in Woodford, Scott,

Bourdon, ' Fayette, Mason; Madison, Clark, Mercer, Boyle and other counties, may be preferred to trotting about

stockfarms at the heels of obligating

hosts who extend a true Kentucky wel

come. These old homes, looking down long avenues from groves of oak and

maple bespeak the delight of the Ken

tucky planter of the slave-holding per

iod in seclusion. ' 'Many of the private roads are so long that their upkeep in these days of automobiles entalis con

siderable expense and not every great

house with a pillared front is supplied

with half tbe number of servants Jt

had m the days when the slave quart

ers were filled 'with free labor. In

the main, however, life seems to run in its old agreeable channels in Ken

tucky. At least that is the impression

that is made upon a traveler who is

content with glimpses of homesteads

as he spins along the road. '

The greatest and the saddest change

time has wrought in this region is the

destruction' of trees for farming, par

ticularly tobacco planting. There artf

far fewer woods pastures than there

were years ago. Many of the remain

ing forest trees are dying at the top,

because apparently deforestation

lessened the moisture. Few landown

ers other than the millionaires hold

ers of great estates, are planting trees.

In this respect Kentucky resembles England more than it resembles

France, for upon the Continent there

always has been high appreciation of

the value of conserving timber.

J. M. Garland, former president of the Iron and Tin Workers of America, spoke in the city council chamber. Garland was making a tour of the state for the Republican arty.'

It was only one of 10 which the company was bringing to Richmond for service.

' , FAITH' AND" UNDERSTANDING Never mind if there are many things that come up in your reading and observation and "daily thinking that not only confuse you but benumb your understanding. . ... . ' ' That's a part of your moral and spiritual education. If you understood everything,-you wouldn't want to KNOW anything! The great Gcd understood this, and that is why He put so many things into the world for us to discover, to strive for, and to solve. Faith is the path through which you must go to reach all understanding: " ' " ' ' '' And the finest faith in the world is that faith which keeps pulling you out of your own little petty spheres and leading you into newer and greener pastures where you may grow -strong in the service of others.- - . . - Understanding cannot be divorced from faith, for faith is a requisite for understanding. - What a series of restless experiences your whole life would be without faith! When the storm clouds came you would think that they would last forever, and when you would retire at night time you would spend restless hours for you would not know whether you would ever rise for work and happiness again. ' The Bible's definition of faith is pregnant with expression "the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen." You understand because you believe. And the more faith you have, the "more you will understand. Every voluntary action on your part is the result of faith. How could you induce the workman to proceed with his work were it not for the fact that he believes you will keep your word with him and will pay for his efforts?' For his toil he sees food, a little pleasure and comfort, and these things In turn for any who' may be dependent upon him.' . . - . We do big things because we have a better understanding of our own abilities than anyone else, and we have faith that others will come to our side soon or later in full appreciation of our achievements. Faith enables you to see beyond understanding enables you to see within.
