And lived In a cellar damp
I had not a friend nor a toy.
But I had Aladdin's lamp.
When I could not sleep for cold
I had fire enough In my brain
And builded, with roofs of gold.
My beautiful castles In Spain.
Since then I have toiled day and
night.
1 have money and power good
store.
But I'd give all my lamps of silver
bright
For the one that Is mine no more.
- Take, Fortune. whatever you
choose
You gave and may snatch again
1 have nothing 'twould pain me to
lose.
For I own no more castles In
Spain.

FOUR STATES BUILD ROAD.
Highway to Connect Arkansas, Okla
homa, Kansas and Missouri,
For the purpose of building 150 miles
of improved automobile roads, connect
ing more than 400 towns and 5,000,000
people, the Ozark Trails association
was organized at Montene, Ark., by 300
delegates from Arkansas. Oklahoma,
Missouri and Kansas.
The association plans to raise $5,000
annually through dues paid by, mem
bers. This -will be used in the promo
tion of good roads and their upkeep
after they are built. The association
will not contribute financially to the
actual building of the roads, but -will
offer $2,000 in prizes yearly for the
best pieces of road built.
The territory to be embraced by the
association consists of from ten to
twelve divisions, each division having
a road to be marked every half mile
with a white marker bearing the words
"Ozark Trails." The route runs at far
north as St. Louis, west as far as Okla
homa City, Kansas City and Wichita,
Kan., south as far as Rogers and east
at Montene.
BAD ROADS LOWER PRICES.
Government Issues Report Citing Loss
es to Farmers.
Where bad roads prevail farmers are
forced to move their crops, not when
the market price is favorable, but
when. the roads are favorable and fre
quently at heavy pecuniary loss as a
result according to the office of public
roads of the department of agriculture.
In a statement it cites .specific cases
of such losses, asserting:
Excessive fluctuations in market
prices are seldom due to overproduc
tion." They frequently take place in
regions where the local production
does not equal the consumption. There
are counties rich in agricultural .pos
sibilities, burdened with bad roads,
where the annual incoming shipments
of food exceed the outgoing shipments
in the ratio of four to one. ,
Many such counties with improved
roads would not only become self sup
porting, but would ship products to
other markets.

IMMIGRATION ATTRACTED.
Likewise Good Roads Directly In
crease the Demand For Rural Prop
erty, and Value Is Ruled by Relation
of Demand and Supply.
The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic wel
fare of a community is shown in some
concrete illustrations gathered by the
United States department of agricul
ture. .
The department has just Issued a
statement on the subject, based upon
a mass of information gathered by the
office of public roads, which is making
a special study of the economic effect
of road improvement in the country.
According to data gathered, where good
roads replace bad ones the values of
farm lands bordering on the roads in
crease to such an extent that the cost
of road improvement is 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 following:
In Lee county, Va., a farmer owned
100' acres between Ben Hur and Jones
vine, which he offered to sell for $1,800.
In -1908 this road was improved, and,
although the farmer fought the im
provement, he has since refused $3,000
for his farm.
In 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 $4.90 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
$15 to $25 per acre.
As the 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 chipping 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
seem to indicate that good roads indi
rectly increase the demand for rural
property, and the price of farm land,
like that of any commodity, is ruled by
the relations between demand and sup
ply. ' ;-
SHOW ROADS OF ALL" AGES:
Elaborate Collection of Models to Be
Exhibited .at Exposition.
One of the most elaborate collections
of road models ever displayed will be
shown by the United States office of
public roads at the Panama-Pacific ex
position in 1915. Logan Walter Page,
treasurer of the bureau, began prep
arations for assembling this unique
exhibition.
Reproduction of old Roman roads,
French roads and all the various types
of modern highways will be Included
in the models. Miniature reproductions
of road machinery as well as. every
other known device used in the build
ing of roads will appear in the exhibit.
For years the bureau has been dis
playing at various national and Inter
national expositions and elsewhere
and in its railroad educational cars
samples of the work it is doing, but
the showing it is preparing to make
at the Panama-Pacific exposition will
be the most complete yet made.
MAJOR FIXES "ROAD DAYS."
Governor Expects Every Ablebodied
Man to Work Aug. 20 and 21.
Through a proclamation Governor
Major of Missouri set apart Aug. 20
and 21 as public holidays to be known
as "good 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
the 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
ganizations and the press" are asked
to favor the movement and do every
thing possible to make the two days
Stuitful of results as possible.
Auto Tax to Aid Roads.
The Michigan legislature has passed
the Newal Smith automobile tax bill,
which provides for a graded tax on
automobiles and auto trucks based on
their horsepower, and the money thus
raised is to be devoted to good roads.
The bill had a stormy time in the
house, and Representative Smith was
tept busy preserving its Important
provisions. In the senate not much
apposition developed. ,
