THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1917 AIR TRAVEL " The aeroplane as a means of offense and defense in war is 1 ever uppermost thest days in the thoughts Of a horrified world. It Is pleasanter ...... to think ofaviauon as an en gine of progress and englighten- ment, not one which lends new terrors to barbarism. Still we must have aeroplanes for de fense. Air liners to be profit able mustbe able to carry many passengers. If only the adven turous and the daring use them they will never pay. How long will it take to develop a people Willing to be carried at a speed of 125 miles an hour at a height of 7,000 feet above the earth's surface?

" Which shall we do, save some , daylight this summer or go on acting the fool by keeping. stores open from daylight until dark? Of all the countries in tin world America is the money mad nation. It is so fearful of starvation that it works itself to death .Other people take time to enjoy the money thev make. Americans barter all of their time for a dollar onlv to fore'et how to use it after they get it, and then hand it over to -some "skinner" be fore they strike out for eter nity. All of this long dark winter Oregon retailers have been opening up before daylight and closing long after the chi ckens have gone to roost. Not an hourhave they spent out doors. Theirdays have been a grind andtheir nights horrible nightmares. They haven t seen a mountain or "heard the ripple of a brook. Waking .they were bartering; sleeping they were dreaming of going broke. And now comes Spring with its sunshine and flowers. Nature is calling. The open road beck ons to mankind. The hills are green, 'the air is balmy, the sunshine golden. Out there all is life; here is death. There all is fresh, pure ;and sweet here all is stale, stagnant and sour What shall we do? Shall wo tie mjrjselye1and employees to ""thtfmuBty pillars in a vain ef fort to support the rotting props "of ourgllded commercial pal ace, and die a sunken cheBted hand of Willie Waddles, or shall we get outin God's great out of doors, refresh our eyes with Nature's green, drink in a little of sunshine's nectar, and recre ate ourselves Into men?

THE LOOKING GLASS We hear that a certain young man In this town has got a brand now father, and slnco he wasn't an Orphan we can't qutto figure out tho extra ono Uecnuse the young man is most too old to adopt, And wo also hear that this same young man has just had a guardian appointed and we can't quite see tho signific ance of this latter for tho young man la getting on. He must be 29. And as for the extra dad, we've figured and figured, but can't . come to anv solution i ' of this passion for acquiring rein- j tives that ha8 seiicd I the young man In its terrible grasp. 4 The only answer we can possibly scs, is that he may believe in "preparedness." and thinks it wise to take 'em on gra dually and not all at "one fell swoop" as bo many do when they take the fatal step. i'e thank you. tt Xla L IU UU, You may not agree with the preacher but you won't Bleen in church.

Investigations conducted by the United States Department of Agricul ture prove conclusively that good roads Increase school attendance, Im prove social conditions and enlarge business transactions, while the sell ing prlco of tillable farm land Inorcns cs more than tho total cost of the Im provements. Discussing thcio sub jects, the Weekly News Letter, pub lished by tho Department of Agricul ture, had the following: "A 16 per cent inereaso In the pro portion of tho available children at- tending schools took place following the construction of good roads In eight counties studied by the Office ot Pub lic Roads and Rural Engineering ot the Department. Tho Improvement in roads was followed also In several of the counties, the report shows, by con solldatlon ot a number ot ths little one-room schools Into gradod schools, which give the pupils better education at advantages; by a development of various industries, and by social Im protement due to easier Intercourse, These Improvements are related close ly to increases in land values and de creases In hauling costs, effects also traced to the construction ot improved roads. The studies were made In Spottsylvanla, Dinwiddle, Leo and Wise Counties. Virginia; Franklin County, New York; Dallas County, Alabama; Lauderdale County, Mlailt slppt. and Manatee County. Florida. "To determine as far as possible the exact dollars and cents effect on a county ot the Improvement of bad roads, specialists of the office of Pub lic Roads and Rural Engineering of the Department tjpde economic sur veys in eight counties in each of the years from 1910 to 1915, Inclusive. "This study of the Increase la the values of farm lands in ths eight coun ties reveals the rather Interesting fact that following the Improvement of the main market roads the Increase In tho selling price of tillable farm lands sorved by ths roads has amounted to from one to three times the total cost of the improvement. Ths increase in values in those Instances which were recorded ranged from 68 per cent to 80 per cent In Spottsylvanla Co., Vs.; from 68 to 194 per cent In Dinwiddle Co., Vs.; from 70 to 80 per eent in Lee Co.. Va.; 25 to 100 In Wise Co, Va.; 9 to 114 In Franklin Co.. N. Y.; E0 to 100 in Dallas Co., Ala.; 35 to 60 In Lauderdale Co., Miss., and from 60 to 100 In Manatee Co., Fla. The estimates of Increase were baaed for the most part upon the territory within a dis tance of one mile on each side of the roads Improved." These same Investigations by the Department of Agriculture disclosed that In the last 12 years there has been an increase of more than 250 per cent in the total outlay for roads and bridges In the United States. WHY EVERY COUNTY SHOULD VOTE BONOS There Is an excellent reason why every voter In every county In the State outside of Multnomah County should vote for the $6,000,000 road bond bill. Here it Is: Multnomah County has paved, her roads. The $6,000,000 paving fund will all be expended outside of Multnomah County. Multnomah County pays 40 per cent of the' automobile license and the quarter-mill state road taif, which means she will pay 40 per cent of tho $6,000,000 bonds. Her contribution to the other counties for roads will be $2,400,000. Your county will got more back from these bonds than It will contrib ute. WILL BE NO CHANCE TO JUGGLE THE BID8 Tho State Highway Commission has formulated a general policy In the mat ter of letting contracts for road work in co-operation with the counties as contemplated in the $6,000,000 road I bond bill. It has been decided that the Commission sitting with the coun ty court will let the contracts, in the county in which the work Is to be done. All bids are to be received on the day of award from the bidders or agents directly on the day ot opening arm rcad , tne prcBence o tle bld dors. The object aimed at is to pre clude any c.Xirge of the bids having been tampered with. Fermcrs not residing on any of tho roads to be Improved undor the road bond bill should not for that reason oppose the bond measure. With the approval by tho voters of the bond Is sue, every such farmer will derive a two-fold benefit. In the first placo, he will be brought that much closer to a hard-surfaced road. Becondly, the money now expended on the main roads will be available for the Im provement of the connecting roads. Surely, tuo farmer, regardless of his rcsldi nro l li respect to tho main trunk ref.-r cannot help but recognize that li ' ho benofltcd by the ex- pendl'1 posid b .
