SETS FORTH DIRECT VALUE OF
GOOD ROADS TO ALL FARMERS
Arthur C, Stone Explains How the Farmer Saves Money in
Wagon Repair, And Time, by Having Good Roads on
Which to Travel. How his Produce And Land Increases
In Value. How he Becomes Well to do on Account of
Being Able to Get His Produce to Market. How His
Possessions Increase in Value.
(lly Arthur C. Stone, Evansvllte, lnd )
As far back as 1877, Adam Smith In
t nls "Wealth of Nations", wrote as
follows: "Good roads, by dtmlnlslilnc
the expense of carriage, put the re
mete parts of tho country mo'-i
Uhrly upon a lovct with thjjo In tha
it'gliborhood of tho town. They tiro
upon that- account tho greatest of nil
Improvements. They encourdt,") the
tvHnatlon of the remote, which must
alwflyB bo tho most expensive c.lre'c
of tho country. They are ndjiiitus
eius to tho towns by breaking down
tho rr.ctitij olr 'f tho countr I'i H
neighborhood. They aro advantageous
to tho country becauso they glvo tho
farmer ready access at all times of
tho year to tho city markets. Also,
Instead of being Isolated from civiliza
tion for about five months out of tho
jcar, they put him on a level with his
city brother; he can go and como
when he pleases; In fact, If ho has
good roads, ho haB every advantage
that Ms city brother has."
The truth of the celebrated Scottish
economists' statements haB slnco been
exemplified In many States and Na
tlons. Tho century and a quarter
which has elapsed sln;o It was writ
I, ten has been sufficient to provo that
jf local tics where good roadB havo been
-Wit aro becoming more prosperous
ana more thickly settled, whllo thoso
uhlch do not possess these advan
tages In transportation aro elthe1 nt
a standstill or aro becoming poorer
nil more sparsely settled.
Kspcclnlly Is this truo of Indiana
bere tho good ronds question Is at
Ihtcnt ono of tho most vital wltn
irii.cl. tho farming communltv has to
deal. Mnny of tho countloi o tho
late long ago realized th Impor
tone of thU question nnd hevo con
ducted gravel tr mam'.um roads,
n.pJatlng In all direction? froia their
country towns. In other counties
roasesalng a plentiful supply of road
matcrlnl, tho Importance of tho ques
tion has not yet been fully realized
and for six monthB of the year tho
farmers aro practically Isolated from
market, or If they manage to reach
It once a week, can only haul thereto
a fraction of a load. Such counties
are recognized as far below tho
average of wealth, prosperity, and tho
public spirit of their citizens.
It lias been estimated that the totu
'eight of farm products marketed In
the United States each year amounts
lo 313,000,000 tons. It Is said tha?
the cost of hauling this Is $9(400,500,
COO. It has been estimated, although
there may bo some oxaggoratloi In
It estimate, that $600,000,000 of nils
could b0 saved If wo had smooth,
hard roads. Such figures help us to
"Mlzo the vastnesu of tho Interost at

economy through Improvomonto Hon.

TIiub spnko tho Prophet lsuiah voic
ing tho declaintlons of Jehovnh Is
ruel's God nnd King, "I wilt mnko
rwnn more precious than tlnb gold, uv
eu n man, than the golden wedgo of
Ophir." Tho conditions attending that
utteranco woio these. Babylon wns nC
the zenith of hor power; luxury had
dulled tho sciihoi and hardened the
nrnrtB ot Jew nnd Pnl:nn nllltu. Men
liril given thcinsjlvcs up to tho en
joyment of tho matciMl things of
enitn, and of 'b pleisurcs of tho
irnment; am! een ihoso who pro
fessed specific nllcglanco to tho God
of Heaven drew" near Him with their
lips only, whllo In their hearts thoy
wero far from him. 'lho world had
well nigh forgotten how to build
homes, for tho people had been too
busy building houses and In pnsBlng,
let It bo said that there Is a vital
difference nnd distinction between
tho two. A houso, whether It bo a
hut, cottage, mnnslon, or palaco is
built of stono nnd brick, ot wood or
some other material of earth; and a
home, whatever Its slzo, whatever its
grado, Is built of loving words and
kind thoughts, kind deeds, and virtue
and godliness. When a nation forgets
tho distinction between tho houso uiul
tho home, verily Is that nation In
danger. Babylon had many houses,
most of them mansions and palaces,
but fow homes, Indeed Bo it remei.t
bered that Babylon is a term used in
n double sense, designating tho city
or htnte, and nt other times dcslgnnt
In : tho particular condition of living.
In the latter sense Babylon la still
existent, still with us, still powerful.
Manhood had boon forgotten In Baby
Ion when that fateful prediction wa3
made; nnd all that Is best In man
bonor, Integrity, vlrtuo, nnd truth,
had been io"i.ied but as dross. There
was nothing to bo sot In vnluo abovo
gold, because gold was tho one me
dium for which nil that was thought
wonh having coutd be had. Babylon
wns big, and tho Babylonians had for
gotten the distinction befweon blg
ness nud greatness. Draw tho lino
slzo; it tells of tho accumulation of
stuff. Bigness as It Is spoken of Is
so much or so lltlte. Greatness Is
spoken of ns being so puro or so
good; for greatness Is n measure of
quality, and not merely size. And
tho world today Is In need of great
men. Of big men wo hnve a plenty,
ami every year witnesses the putting
forth of nnothor crop. Big men
abound, but of tho great men at pres
cit prominent, you could count tho
number on fow fingers. Wo nre
1M ono to count success in terms of
bigness; wo nro proud of cities In
proportion to their streets, nnd
squares, and sky scrapers, ilnd car
lines, and palaces of amusements; a
c'ty Is too often counted big In pro
portion to Its bricks nnd stones. Bui
mark you, cities aro not mado of
such Btuff. In the truer senso cities
aro mado of citizens, and not or
houses. Bo they oven of tho biggest,
It would not put material growth
ahead of civic purity, and ovorcoms
manhood and womanhood. Tho world
is In need of a better quality of men.
Today tho world needs men tall In
stature, men whoso heads rise above
tho mists nnd obscurities, Into the
sunlight, and men who aro too proud
to bo bowed down becauso of worldly
criticism. Bigness results from
growth, and growth Is tho order of
nature. Why will wo not stop to
think of It? Do you know that dead
things grow? A snowball rolling
down n snow covered slopo grows ns
It rolls. At first It Is so small nnd
finglie that you could crush it In your
hand, but as It rolls It gathers
strength and powor, and Is capablo "t
tearing Its way through forests and
levelling walls of masonry nnd bury
ing great buildings. But lot mo give
ycu another example of growth that
Is locally. Go to tho points on tho
sbot'o of tho Great Salt Lako In mid
summer when lho brlns hns well nigh
reached Its satin ntlon point, nnd you
Will find over on tho surface of the
water little cubes of salt. Select me
of them nnd examine It carefully with

Prominent among th0 ovents of tho

election of Mr. W. 1). Beers of Salt

on tho tir-caslon ot the niinunl bnnqiju
announced tho election ot n member
of tho nlumnl association to tho
Bonrd of Trustees, a recognition
which hns been sought for by tho
alumni nBsodatlon for many years.
Mra. Hazel Loo Dunford wns chosen
by the Governor for this position. Mrs.
Dunford is n member of the clnss oi
1905 and Is n daughter of - formor
atato Senator Stephen Lovo. Very
popular with tho nsscmbled nlumnl on
'ho evening of tho 2Sth wns tho an
nouncement by tho Governor that tho
President ot tho College had been
mado n member of tho Board ot

Tho commencement ns n whole at

cessful over' held nt tho Institution.
Lai go crowds were present nnd moro
Interest wns manifested by tho
nlumnl In the proceedings nnd there
wns a higher toiio to the discussion
ns n whole, probably, than over before.
Thero crept into most of tho dis
slons nil oulogy of tho practical work
which tho Collego was doing nnd
throughout an optimism was found
regarding -tho work of tho Institution.
It seems thnt In tho minds of nil pres
ent thoro wns no doubt regnrdlng thr
policy and no doubt regarding tho fu
turo of tho great Stnto College. This
spirit of expansion wns illustrated in
tho extemporaneous remarks of Pro
fessor Lewis A. Morrill, who being
called upon to explain tho nbsenco ot
bequests of other members of tho
Bonrd of Trustees to tho Collego, ro
miuked that tho tlmo Bcemed ripe for
further development nlong this line
and that undoubtedly this develop
ment would Le forthcoming. Well
merited praise was given to tho flisi
donor of any considerable prominence,
the Ilonornblo Thomas Smnrt. and the
opening nlumnl ball in tho Thomas
Thomas Smart gymnasium was a suc
cess from overy point of view. In ono
corner of this massive hall was the
Governor's party, who wero tho guest
of tho alumni association during tne

expressing keen intorest in. tho new
