Prof, J. Cavana-fh. of Indiana, a
deaf mute, gave quite a creditable
. entertainment in the Ourt House last

"How far is it?" is the first ques
tion the prospective buyer asks of
the real estate man who wants to
show him i suburban home or a farm.
. He doesn't want to know, how far
it is in miles, however. He wants to
know in minutes or ; hours. "It is
thirty minutes , from the cogjier of
Main and State Streets" tells the
.story.. 'Tt is-seven 'miles out" does
not! For "seven miles", may mean
seventy minutes, if the road is poor,
whereas "thirty minutes" is definite.
A man . has only so much. time to
spend.. He can not add to the' num
ber of minutes in a day, or the num
ber of days in his life. : Therefore, he
wants' to use as few of his minutes in
non-productive, unnecessary, and.un-
profitable-effort as possible.. , ,;
It is for this reason he wants, .to
know the distance , from his new
home and his otiice or business -in
terms of time. And it is for this
reason he wants to locate on a good
road! for only the good road con cut
down his time, without increasing his
cost! The railroad can serve only a
limited number of suburban -towns on
anv one line, and its trains can run
onlv so often. He must waste time
waiting for them, going to and from
them at both ends, suit his conven
ience to the schedule. With the good
road he makes his own schedule, of
ten beats the traiu'as to speed, and
always beats it . in convenience in
leaving home, getting into his con
veyance, and getting out' at or close
to his place, of business.
The good road plus the motor is
translated in terms of time, and not
distance, because it is time we have
to spend, and time, in which we have
to live; it is only the amount of time
consumed which counts, and not the
mere number of feet or miles trav
eled in that time.

' Signal, Miss. "For a year or longer
1 had indigestion, and had.it bad,
,vsavs Mrs. E. S. Holman. of this place.
"''Everything: I ate hurt nie."I would
have turning in my stomach and
smothering spells, and after meals feel
vight dizzy. My head would begin to
ixhe, and I would want to lie down,
' tut felt I couldn't for I would smother,
i "Unless one has had such trouble,
Ihey don't know what it is. I was
talking to a neighbor one day and told
her how I had been affected. She
(old me it was indigestion and to try
I31ack-Draught, which I did. I took a
few large doses and then a pinch af te,r
neals, and for fully four months now
I haven't had indigestion, i eat wnai
tver I please and when I please, but
Jceep up the Black-Draught just an
occasional dose.",
When you have a feeling of discom
fort after meals, try the suggestion
"r.bove. Thousands of people have
found that Black-Draught promotes
relief in indigestion by stimulating the
.liver and stomach to perform their
' normal, functions. " v.

"The Nation, indeed, has no busi
ness 'helping' States build roads;
road building, is for the State and the
coun'.y."
The sentence is quoted from, a con
temporary. We should, perhaps, be
journalistically polite and say "es
teemed contemporary," only we can
not esteem any paper Which states
as an ariom a concept not proved or
of common knowledge.
'' Why has the Nation "no business
helping States?" Why is road build
ing "for the State and county?" Who
ordained that the National Govern
ment, which is all of us; should not
help several groups of us. which are
the States, to solve their problem?
Who made the law that the Nation
shouldn't build .its own roads? .
There is much question in many
. . . , i .Mil... r u j
minds as to tne-aavisammy ui .r en
teral aid for road building; whether
the .policy of the Nation aiding the
States to build roads will work, in the
long run, to any. better advantage
than that. of the Mates aiding the
counties to build roads, is . yet to be
demonstrated. But we can see no
reason for saying the Nation "Irs no
business to do so, it it is us uesi
judgment that it should.
As for road building being properly
a State or county function, the gov
ernment, lias'", already ' made rail and
water transportation a matter of
national concern. The .Nation, not the
States, subsidized,, the first transcon
tinental railroads, to get them built.
The Nation, not the States, improves
our waterways. The Nation, not the
Stftes built the Panama Canal. The
g.re;(t beauty spots of the continent
are national, not state, parks, liail-rnad-i.
watefwavs. Panama Canal,
- ' i r..
parks.," are for the Nation, .built hy or
witbTthe-assistance" of ' the Nation.
Transportation and"' some of its ob-
iectiv.es are national concerns. Why
eliminate roads from the list?
That this - Nation wjll tvcntur.lly
build a national system of national
hitrhwavs is as inevitable as was the
canal, -'it ''is ...merely a question of
when, aryl how with "where" more
easily-determined than : either of the
ofhefs. But' the "when" is not so
hard: to answer; the United States of
America will build, own, control and
forever maintain, it's have trunk line
system, of national highways, thus
bringing good ' roads evety where,
when, and not until when, the people
nt the United Mates demand it.
And. if. there is any truth in signs
tp;i.t cemand is now being made ana
more ;.nd more strongly every year.
