TEN MILLIONS A DAY ELOYD GEORGE, British chancellor of the excheq uer, has publicly stated that the war is costing Great Britain $10,500,000 a daw I Coming from that source the . 1 so r so figures may be considered as authentic and it is possible to fll i get a close line on the financial i ourden Lngland is assuming IS , because of the strife. .50 Quite evidently modern war-! tare is expensive.

PERMANENT ROADS ARE THE BEST jft OOD Roads Day May 20 will be most beneficial if aside from doing some volunteer work people take time to think about the need of permanent trunk roads and the economic saving that can be brought about by such work. Volunteer work is fine and often such work can accom plish vast good, but of course permanent roads cannot be built by such methods. To build highways that will stand the traffic and be good at all sea sons of the year requires engi neering ability and a consider able expenditure per mile. No state or county has ever been able to secure good roads free of cost. If they could there would be nothing to the road problem. The better a road is built the better is the service it renders and the cheaper the maintenance cost. The cheap road becomes ex pensive through the fact it goes to pieces when needed most and because it requires con stant work to keep it in shape. When the road problem was up in Multnomah county re cently Governor Withycombe, who has set May 20 as Good Roads Day, wrote a statement for Portland publication in which he said : "To my mind, a fundamental necessity in the upbuilding of any community is good roads not merely passable roads, but' the best highways that can be had. While the initial expense may seem large at times, ex perience has shown that sub stantial hard surfaced high ways are infinitely preferable in well settled districts, to ma cadam or other roads, which at best are little more than temporary. The initial cost is higher but the annual upkeep! is infinitely lower; while of i course there is no comparison! in the efficiency of the two. "Any farmer hauling his! products to market or return-! ing supplies from that market1 to his farm; any businessman1 delivering his products or haul-j ing raw materials; any labor-' ing man who is obliged to use' a highway between his home and his place of employment; and any automobilist to whom roads are all important realizes fully that the daily economy of; a good permanent hard sur-' faced road in time, in money and in convenience repays him ; many fold for his slight share: of the cost of that community ' road. Also those who consider themselves not directly benefit-1 "d by the good road reap indi rect benefits in the added prosperity and efficiency of thoir community and their road ; using neighbors." j The governor has also urged ( OUTSTAYS HIS WELCOME F Dr. Bernard Dernburg is getting on the nerves of even the most patient ad ministration that has sat at Washington since Lincoln's time, discretion ought to ad monish him to make a quick and voluntary departure before our unusually comprehensive deportment laws are invoked. He is one of those who have from the first deliberately set out to mislead German-American sentiment in this country. There has been just enough plausibility in his statements to make them credible to those willing to think the best of the German attitude and the worst of the American attitude, and just enough mystery about his mission in this country to invest what he said with some weight m authority. WThere he can go to when he leaves the asylum of this coun try is, of course, a problem. If he crosses to Canada he will be arrested. If he tries to return to Germany via the Mediter ranean route or via most of the North Sea routes he risks cap ture by the allies unless he can show credentials establishing his diplomatic character. But his gross abuse of na tional hospitality leaves little concern as to where he goes, if he only gets out. Present as a tolerated guest in a house of mourning, he mocked at the cause of our sorrow. While grief over the death of our re presentative men, our accom plished women and our helpless children lost on the Lusitania was fresh he glorified the act by which they were destroyed. He threatened other tragic blows.

Cleveland, Ohio "My left t)ie pained me so for several years that I expected to have to undergo an opera tion, but the first bottle I took of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound relieved me of the pains in my side and I continued its use until I became regular and free from pains. I had asked several doc tors if there was anything I could take to help me and they said there was nothing that they knew of. I am thankful for such a good medicine and will always give it the highest praise." -Mrs. C. H. Griffith, 1568 Constant St, Cleveland, Ohio. Hanover, Pa. "I suffered from fe male trouble and the pains were so bad at times that I could not sit down. The doctor advised a severe operation but my husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I experienced great relief in a short time. Now 1 feel like a new person and can do a hard day's work and not mind it What joy and happiness it is to be well once more. I am always ready and willing to speak a good word for the Compound."
