EDITORIAL i JHRU POWER TO PROSPERITY The day is approaching when actically all the hard manual rk of the United States with 118,000,000 people will be by electricity, and done far swiftly and cheaply than bn labor could accomplish it. benefits, and greater ones lie in the future for Ameri- ire due to the energy and vis- with which a few leaders grasped and solved the prob- of power supply on a nation- scale. WHY THE PRINTER, ANY MORE THAN THE, FARMER? The printers and the publishers lof the country have been patient nd long-suffering in their submis- sion to government competition in the printing business. If the Department of Agriculture should contract with an organiza- tion of poultry raisers, hog raisers, or wheat raisers to furnish it cer- tain amounts of these products which it, in turn, would sell at prices impossible for small farm- ers to meet, the situation would be the same as that faced by the small printers of the country who cannot meet government competi» tion, in printing return addresses gn stamped envelopes. FOURTH OF JULY The Fourth of July this year marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In view of ‘special importance of the occasion, ‘several local people have suggested ‘that Mount Joy observe the day * in some fitting manner, in which the entire community will take part. These suggestions, as submitted to the Bulletin include a program of sports, a large display of fire- ‘works, appropriate exercises, and he like—in fact, a complete, all- ly program which would appeal everyone. Altho in the past few years no jh celebration has marked the here, the proposal would seem cal and fitting. Let’s all do part to see that it is carried UNTRY FOLKS NEED BET- TER THAN DIRT ROADS idespread interest on part of way engineers is being shown developing some form of low 5 construetion for moderate which will be a distinet im- over any form of earth sand-clay or topsoil road yet pro- duced. “There is a great need for such development, for it is very evident that there is definite economic lim- it to the total yardage of high- priced, high class pavements which the nation can build. Already a number of state highway depart- ments and a special committee of the National Research Council are at work on this problem. ,#Some modification of the upper _ Portion at least of road soils, will be necessary. Crushed stone pro- ducts are adapted for this purpose A fairly light covering of crushed stone and a suitable asphaltic ma- terial further materially improves the road at low cost. If traffic re- quiremgnts finally demand a high grade pavement, the old stone road would produce an excellent founda- tion for a relatively thin water- proof wearing course. Such con struction is certainly worthy of careful consideration.” Thus, the evolution of a seems to be (first) dust (second) crushed stone or gravel (third) a binder like road oil or asphalt to hold the gravel together and (fourth) such higher type of Pavement as can utilize to the fullest extent expenditures previ- ously made on the road in build- ing up the foundation. road or mud. AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD American achievement and in- genuity have overshadowed the world, and now comes the an- nouncement that Lieutenant-Com- mander Richard E. Byrd has Cross- ed the north pole in an aeroplane and is back safely at his base, King’s Bay, Spitzbergen. The plane bearing Lieutenant-Comman- der Byrd, of Virginia, and his pi- lot, Floyd Bennett, left King’s Bay at midnight, and fifteen and one- half hours later the great mono- plane was heard over King’s Bay, giving evidence of ,the victorious achievement. In the fifteen and one-half hours it traveled approxi- mately 1,600 miles, averaging bet- ter than 100 miles an hour. There is something about Ameri- can achievement that thrills even the man of foreign birth. He re. cognizes that American sportsman. ship is clean-cut, and that no un- due advantages are even taken in the great game of chance; The American aviators were the first to fly around the world, and now a Virginian has sailed over the top of the world in an American- e plane. Again we say that American ingenuity and achieve- ment have won. achievement falls to the eredit of Lieutenant. Commander Byrd and his pilot, and the ingenuity to the inventor f the Fokker monoplane.

Presence of Mind A recent ecclesiastical method of removing an evil spell from a church- vard seems to have been less simple than that of Archbishop Thomson in exorcising a ghost from a mansion where he once spent a night, He was lodged in the haunted chamber, and in the morning his hostess inquired anxiously if he had seen anything. “Oh, yes,” replied the archbishop, “I wakened to find an old pinched-look- ing man in the room. I jumped up and asked if he lived in the house. He nodded assent. Was he a parish- ioner? I asked. Again he nodded. Then, said I, I should like to ask your help for our new school building fund. At that he vanished, and disturbed me no more.” Sweet Pea an Importation The sweet pea is a native of the island of Sicily and was first men- tioned in 1695 by an Italian monk, who sent seeds to England and Hol- land. The seeds of sweet peas be- came an article of commerce as early as 1724. Sweet peas have been grown for more than a century in America, and all of the varieties known in Eu- rope were grown here. There was a wave of popularity for the sweet pea in America between 1885 and 1900, while the tide, which received its great impetus through the intro- duction of the waved, or Spencer, type, was just beginning to rise at the sweet-pea celebration in London in 1900. The half-tone printing plate was invented in 1881 by Frederick E. Ives, a Cornell Universiity re- search worker. The Government Printing Office was the first user of his plates.

In the future, when ' licenses have been denied automobilists, or when the right to drive has been revoked by duly authorized public officials, the persons thus af- fected will be unable to obtain au- tomobile insurance through any of the principal casualty and surety companies which comprise the Na- tional Bureau. Motor vehicle commissioners in different states will furnish immed- iately to the National Bureau the names of all persons whose licens- es have been revoked. This in- formation will immdiately be dis- tributed to the companies, and further insurance to reckless driv- ers will be refused and existing insurance will be canceled. It is an established fact, say the Bureau officials, that many serious accidents are caused by criminal and carless motorists who continue 'to operate even after their licens- es have been revoked for good cause. : Insurance carried by an irre- sponsible and reckless driver sirp- ly makes him more careless, The action of the casualty companies is a move 6 in the right direction and if all states would cooperate with these companies in weeding out undesirable drivers, the ulti- mate result would be fewer acci- ents, and insurance atg lower cost "careful automobffie owners are entitled to it | pany LANDISVILLE Mr, and Mrs. Chester Amand visited relatives here on Wednesday night.
