Good Aoada Direotly In create th Demand For Rural Prop arty, and Valua la Ruled by Ralation f Demand and Supply. Tbe direct effect that changing bad roads Into good roads has upon laud value and I lie general economic wel fun of a community is show a In some eon.-rete Illustration:! gathered by tbe t'nlied 8tatts department of agricul ture. The department baa Just Issued a statement on tbe subject, based upon mass of Information gathered by tbe office of public roads, which Is making a special study of the economic effect of rvjnd Improvement In the country. According to data gathered, where good roads replace bad ones the values of farm lands bordering oo the roads In crease to such an extent that the cost of road improvement la equalized, if not exceeded. The general land val ues as well as farm values show mark ed advances with the Improvement of roads. Among the Illustrations cited by the department are the fallowing: In Lee county, Va., a farmer owned 100 acres between Ben Ilur and Jonea rllle. which be offered to sell for 11.800. In 1908 this road was improved, and, although the farmer fought the Im provement, he has since refused 13,000 for his farm. Ii Jackson county, Ala the people voted a bond Issue of $250,000 for road Improvement and Improved 24 per cent of the roads. The census of 1900 gives the value of all farm lands in Jackson county at $4.00 per acre. The census of 1910 places the value of all farm lands In Jackson county at $9.79 per acre, and the selling price Is now from 115 to Ji" per acre. As tbe roads in no way affect soil fertility or quality of the farm, ad vances are due essentially to the de crease in the cost of hauling produce to market or shipping point Farms are now regarded as plants for the business of farming, and any reduc tion in their profits through unneces sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad roads naturally reduces their capital ization Into values. The automobile also has begun to be an important factor in increasing rural values where good roads are Intro . duced. Immigration Is particularly marked where road conditions are favorable. In fact, the figures of the department eeein to indicate that good roads indi rectly Increase the demand for rural property, and the price of farm laud, like that of any commodity. Is ruled by the relations between demand and aup ; p'y- SHOW ROADS OF ALL AGES. E'aborat Collection af Modal to Be Exhibited at Exposition.

MAJOR FIXES "ROAD DAYS." Governor xpjcta Every Ablebodied Man to Work Aug. 20 and 21. Through a proclamation Governor Major af Missouri jet apart Aug. 20 and 21 as public holidays to be known as "goud roads days." He supplemented the proclamation with a request that every ablebodied man In the rural districts and smaller cities of the state devote those days to work on the public highways. The ' proclamation asks for a general sus pension of business. The women of tbe state are asked to supply the vol unteer workmen with food and encour age them with their presence and good cheer. The commercial clubs', civic or frniilr.ations and the press are askeii . to favor the movement and do every . tiling possible to make tbe two day -vitful of resuiN ns possible. . 1 " Auto Tax to Aid Roaos.

At best, however, the lorfonuauce of the command speaks well for native InstulHon Spanish construction of English wonts la another twist that our poor language geta Jn the Philippine. "No got" In the Ulaud Is the most common ly used expression for "I havcu't any." Similarly "no can do" menus "1 cnut" and "uo want" means "I don't want It" Not only betweeu American and Filipino, but among Americans them selves, this twisted construction has largely aupplanted the legitimate one. With the soldier anything that be longed peculiarly to the Philippines was described as "bamboo." Now all colonials use tbe term. The "bamboo fleet" Is the one assigned to Philippine waters, and the "bamboo government" Is the Philippine civil government In distinction from the t'nlted State mil itary. Among other "soldlerlsms" (If I may be eruiittcd this contribution to the new languagei were certain pure Ma lay words. The list is . continually growing, and now there are dozeus of Tagalog aud Moro expressions In con stant use smong the Americans. For example, there are the Tagalog words "bagulo." meaning "storm;" carsbao," meaning an animal; "palsy." meaning "rice." and "iso," meaning "man. Moro terms In common use are "amok." meaning "wild;" "dato,' meaning "chief;" "kris." meaning wavy edged knife, and "sarong." mean ing a garment Review of Reviews. BOATS GROW ON TREES. West Indian Boys Can Gat All of Them They Want When a West Indian boy wants a toy boat all he has to do is to visit a cocoanut tree. These trees bear great bunches of nuts among their drooping green leaves, and when tbe bunch first sprouts out in tbe form of a big bud It is inclosed within a bard. tough, woody case or spatbe two or three feet loug. eight or ten Inches in diameter and tapering to a point at one end and to a slender stern at tbe other. In fact It looks very much like a huge wooden cigar. As the buds and flowers develop the spatbe splits open, and the flower bunch continues to grow out beyond It until the nuts begins to ripen. By this time tbe spathes have become dry and hard and break off and drop to tbe ground of their own accord. It is the spatbes or bud coverings that the West Indian boy nse for toy boats, and. while the dry and fallen ones will answer, better boats are made from tbe more flexible and part ly green spatbea still clinging to tbe flower stem. Tbe spatbe as gathered from the tree Is almost In the shape of a boat and all that is necessary to transform it to a very seaworthy and fast sailing toy canoe Is to sew the open end together and fit rudder, sail and seats or thwarts. Wben this Is done the boat la almost on exact model of tbe big dugout ca noes that tbe boys' fathers use In fish ing. In fact, these dugouts were prob ably copied from one of tbe tree grown boats.
