ON MIDLAND TRAIL
Capitals of AH but Two States
From Coast to Coast.
Best and Shortest Route Thru
the State of Kansas.
MARKING CAMPAIGN IS ON
Strips of Orange and Black on
Erery Telephone Pole.
Only Thirteen Hours To Coyer
Kansas by Motor Car.
The ever Increasing popularity of
the Midland trail among motorists
has led to a campaign of the com
missioners for better and more elabor
ate marking of the highway across the
state. VV. W. Dilworth, of Beloit, who
was elected at the annual meeting at
Clay Center to superintend the mark
ing, was in Topeka today and an
nounced that the trail had now been
financed and marked from Graham
county to the east side of Itiley coun
ty. The commissioners of each coun
ty, realizing what an asset the high
way is to become, have linanced the
marking proposition.
The Midland trail, which was be
gun about five years ago, is the short
est and best road from coast to
coast, the shortest and best road
across Kansas and the shortest trail
from Kansas City and Denver. It
passes thru Topeka. When Mr. Dil
worth finishes his job, every telephone
pole on the trail from the eastern to
the western boundary of the state
will bear the familiar black and
orange mark. It consists of a strip of
orange, a strip of black and then an
other strip of orange, each six inches
wide and showing up so brightly that
motorists can follow it by night as
well as by day.
The trail passes thru many of the
pr.ncipal towns of Kansas, including
practically all of those boasting the
bii; state institutions, as well as the
capitals of all but two of the states
thru which it passes from coast to
coast. It begins at Washington, D. C,
and passes thru Virginia, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Ne
vada and California to San Francisco,
In Kansas the trail passes thru
Lawrence, Topeka, Beloit and
other towns where the big state in
stitutions are located, following the
Kaw and Solomon valleys. The To
peka Auto club has placed signs at
the crossroads directing travelers.
Itclays Made Good Time.
In order to demonstrate the excel
lence of the roads and the short route
four motor relays were made across
Kansas last fall. The first relay,
from Kansas City to Topeka, a dis
tance of 78.6 miles was completed in
one hour and 59 minutes. The second
relay, from Topeka to Manhattan, a
distance of 58.8 miles was made in one
hour and eighteen minutes. The third
relay, from Manhattan to Plainville, a
distance of 4 9.7 required three hours
on account of motor trouble. The
fourth relay, from Plainville to Kan
arado. was made in three hours and 51
minutes, a distance of 163.9 miles, dur
ing which motor trouble and severe
electrical storms had been encoun
tered. The trip across Kansas over the
Midland trail had been made in less
than 13 hours, including storms and
motor trouble.
W. F. Hughes is vice president of
trail for Kansas. The commissioners
are: Frank Mrlvor, Hoxie: W. W. Dil
worth. Beloit: L. F. Davidson, Glasco,
and Albert Nagel. Topeka.

Letters will be received from France
at intervals which the Camp will an
swer and in this manner the mem
bers will keep in touch with their

Guerpont, (Meuse) par
Cronville en Barrois.
June 6, 1918.
My dear Benefactor:
The committee of the Franco
American brotherhood informs me
that you have adopted my son. Jules,
age 7 years, . whose photograph you
will find enclosed, to give you some
idea of his appearance. i
I am deeply touched by your act
of kindness, and I desire to thank
you.
Before the mobilization, my hus
band and I worked in a shoe factory,
but at the outset of the war he was
unfortunately killed. I was left with
two children, one of whom, a girl of
8, was likewise adopted by an Amer
ican benefactor.
I continued my work, 'altho pain
fully, for I have been a sufferer for
a good while; and it is for this reason
that the municipal council brought me
to the attention of the committee.
For some weeks back the doctor
has advised absolute rest for me, and
I may say that the aid which you have
seen fit to afford me will be of great
help in giving me treatment and in
taking care of my children.
With my sincere thanks, I pray you :
to believe me, my dear benefactor, in
the assurance of my profound grati
tude. MADAM GRAS.
