back with pity at the Detroit's crew,
She hadn't’ any wheelhouse, and the
helmsman was due to get all the at-
tention that was coming te him.
They'd built up a barricade of potato
sacks, chicken coops and bric-a-brae
around the wheel that protected ‘em
somewhat, but even while I watched
some Polack filtered a brick through
and laid out the quartermaster cold,
and he was drug off. Oh, it was re-
fined and aesthetic!
“Well, we run the gantlet, present-
ed every block with stuff ranging in

racket in the world was a whisper.
I caught a glimpse of the old man
leaning out of the pilothouse where
a window had been, his white hair
bristly and his nostrils h'isted, embel-
lishing the air with surprising flights
of gleeful profanity.
“ ‘Hooray, this is living! he yells,
spying me shoveling the deck out from
under the junk. ‘Best scrap [I've had

ball player throwed in from center

‘If we make it through here, we've

at the Detroit just in time to see her
crew pulling their captain into the
deck house limp and bleeding. The
barricade was all knocked to pieces,
and they'd flunked absolute. Don't
blame ‘em much either, as It was sure
death to stand out in the open under
‘the rain of stuff that come from the

she commenced to swing off. 1 yells:
“ ‘Grab that wheel! Grab it quick!

more productive state in the Union
than Pennsylvania. With its large
cities, its mines, and its extensive |
industrial and manufacturing interests
the demand for food products from the
farms is insistent and constantly grow-
ing. All that is needed to bring the
producer and consumer together to
the great profit of both, is a ready
means for the transportation of the
products. That means can only be
provided by improved highways over
which it will not cost so large a per-
centage of the value of the produce as
is now the case to transport it from
| the place of its growth to the place of
consumption,
The area of farming land in Penn-
| sylvania which can profitably be de-
voted to market gardening may be
trebled or quadrupled when the roads
are improved with a hard surface and
with easy grades; and market garden-
ing is away and by far the most profit
able use to which farm land can be
put; and land that is available for
such use is invariably saleable at a
much higher price than that which, by
reason of the inaccessibility of mar
kets, must be devoted to other pur
poses,
A close study of conditions in Penn-
sylvania, and of results achieved in
other states, indicates that the In-
crease in value of property caused by
the improvement of a road will
amount to twenty-five dollars an acre
for a distance of a half mile each side
of the road so improved. There are
ten thousands miles in the State Road
system, and by the time that is com-
pleted there will be ten thousand
miles of State Ald county roads also
built, making a total, not counting
state aid township roads, of twenty
thousand miles of well graded, drain-
ed, hard surfaced roads.
A strip of land half a mile wide
along each side of these roads would
make a total of twelve million, eight
hundred thousand acres; and the in-
crease in selling value, at $25 per acre,
will amount to the enormous sum of
three hundred and twenty millions of
dollars. And the land will well be
worth the increase, by reason of the
greater opportunities for profitable
production and cheaper marketing.
Lands further from the main high-
ways will also greatly increase in
value, according to the distance and
the improvement of the township
roads.
The scenery in he mountains and
hilly regions of Pennsylvania is unsur-
passed. Wherever it has been adver-
tised or exploited, as has been done by
some railway companies, it has attract.
ed attention throughout the civilized
world, wherever raiiway advertise-
ments reach, and that is nearly every-
where. Put for every single scene
that has ever been photographed and
exploited there are thousands equally
fine which have never seen the lens of
a camera, and are unknown to fame.
There are trout streams, and water-
falls, and forests, and rocky ledges,
and canvong, and all the other wild
and picturesque elements which are
restful to tired denizens of cities, who
! seek solace in summer in sylvan
shades.
Increasingly, year by year, the peo-
ple of the cities who can afford to do
so get out for a season into the hills
and mountains of recreation and rest.
Ther buy land, in large or small tracts
as their means and inclinations sug-
suggest; they build summer homes;
some large and pretentious; some
quiet and modest; some bungalows,
and some of the shack or log cabin or-
der. And some carry tents, and make
camps In which to recuperate for the
arduous duties they must soon resume,
Other thousands go where they can
find summer hotels, and boarding
houses which are within their means.
There can be no finer locations for
With improved roads reaching inw
and through these sections of Penn-
does reach, only waiting improvement,
not only will thousands of Pennsyl-
vanians take advantage of the oppor-
tunities presented, but other thou-
sands, from other large cities in sur-
rounding states, will also be attracted
and the people and state will profit
enormously.
These and many other planes of de-
vedopment are open to the people of
the Stale of Pennsylvania by the build.

NO TIME TO KNOCK.
This is not the time for the friends
| or enemies of any administration to at-
| tempt to ‘‘get even” for any real or
| fancied grievance by standing in the
| path of progress. Under different ad-
ministrations the work of road build-
' ing must go on, as provided by law.
There will be other administrations,
| and if one does not suit the people it
can be changed two years afterward.
| But the work of building the roads
should not be interrupted. Every
interest in the State, agricultural, com-
| mercial, social, educational, demands
that highway construction continue
until the State and State Aid road sys-
tems are finished.
Unless the amendment to the con-
stitution authorizing the bond issue be
carried at the coming election road
construction in the State will progress
very slowly. Work on the State Road
System had to stop on August 1 of
this year because of the inadequacy
of the appropriations. To relieve
the situation, and make such condi
tions impossible in the future, all par-
ties and interests should work to-
gether for the amendment.
Only by carrying the bond proposi-
tion at the coming election can the
work of completing the State and State
Ald road systems go forward. And
the building of these roads means
much to every resident of the State.
It means for the farmer an improved
road from his farm, or near it, to his
county seat or other market-point; it
means additional facilities for village
and city merchants in the distribution
of goods; it means for every class in-
creased advantages, increased pros-
perity and comfort.
SHALL OUR PROGRESS CONTINUE
Road Improvement in Pennsylvania Is
the Next Step Forward.
It is within the memory of Penn-
sylvanians not yet too old for active
and progressive work, when there
were no typewriting machines; no tel
ephones; no electric lights; and when
letter postage was three cents for a
half ounce. They have seen the revo-
lution in commercial and social affairs
brought about by the installation of
these facilities. Now we have the
Rural Free Delivery and the automo-
bile truck, with the a&uto-bus lines
making their appearance to the end |
that mankind may be happier, more
prosperous, and better. It is all in
the line of human development; the
growth of ideas, of ideals, and of mor-
als.
The roads of Pennsylvania must
keep pace with the general develop
ment. The longer their improvement
is delayed the more remote becomes
the prosperity which is due the state
and the people.

A vote for good roads at the coming
election is a vote for progress, for
prosperity, for the well being or tue |

Let no one be sidetracked by any |
side issue. If good roads are defeat.
ed this year it will take practically
five years to get the proposition again |

issue. He who is in favor of Good
Roads will vote for goed roads.
The improvement of the roads of
Pennsylvania depends on the votes of
the people of the State in November.
It is inconceivable that persons of in-

the proposition.
