The aim of this conference is to stim- and their friends at a picnic at the! ulate an‘interest in-hetter farming, better business and better living. It will endeavor to send those who at- tend back to the:country and to its market centers, to encourage every proper effort for the building up of social centers, for the improvement of roads, for the installation of con- veniences in the farm home, for the placing of farming upon a business basis, for the development of the community spirit. These things in the country mean more time for self- improvement and for higher living. Such a program should appeal to preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, mothers and fathers. Hun- dreds, it is repeated, will attend this conference and start a rural live movement in Minnesota such as no other state in the Union has seen. INCREASE OF CONVICT LABOR. Different-System of Using Convicts In Thirty States. Thirty states at the beginning of the present year had on-their statute books laws providing for the employment of state prisoners in-road building. Ari- zona, Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New Jer- sey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Vir- ginia and Washington follow practical- ly the same system, providing that the control of this work shall be vested in the state highway commission. The highway commission or state engineer makes requisition to the state prison authorities for such number of pris- oners as he can use effectively, and the prison authorities turn over to him such prisoners as are suitable for the road work. . The prison commission or board of control of state institutions is held re- sponsible for the development of the convict road work in some nine states —Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. State pris- oners are turned over to the county authorities to be worked on the county roads in Florida, Georgia, North Caro- lina and South Carolina. This system is not approved by the national com- mittee on prisons and prison labor, which holds that the state under no circumstances is justified in delegating the responsibility for its convict wards to county authorities. The system in New York state di- vides the responsibility for the con- struction work and maintenance of the camps between the state highway de- partment and the commissioners of the counties in which the roads are to be built, with the state superintendent of prisons in final autbority. In Utah, West Virginia and WygQming the high- way department and the prison depart- ment co-operate in the control of this work. The prison department is fully responsible for the care and discipline of the prisoners, while the road depart- ment is called upon to do the work which it is equipped to do, the build- ing of roads. The committee has found this latter system essential to the successful de- velopment of convict road work. The prison department is in a position to care for the. prisoners.and to handle such matters as food; clothing, -hous- ing, medical attentlon, the affording of educational facilities and recreation. DIXIE HIGHWAY MOVEMENT: Influence Bids Fair to Bring About Bet- ter Conditions In the South. The influence of the Dixie highway movement continues to spread until now it bids fair to bring about a mark- ed improvement in road conditions all over the south. Four new highways tributary to the Chicago-Miami road already are under consideration. Immediately after the Dixie highway plan was established as a certainty ‘a movement was set on foot for a south: ern highway, from Chattanooga to New Orleans. Since then three more roads have been proposed. A highway which is looked upon as being already as good as built is from Miami westward across the state of Florida to the gulf coast. A bond issue of $1,000,000 soon will be voted, to in- clude the cost of the part of the Dixie highway near Miami. A second highway is proposed to run from Miamil to Cape Sable, Fla., the southernmost point of the Atlantic sea- board. Bonds already have been voted. This will carry the Dixie highway from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. In North Carolina there has been a revival of a plan made several years ago and partially executed to build a road vpractically across the state of North Cerolina ~into ‘Tennessee. Since the Dixie highway idea has come into being the -general assembly. of North Carolina has memorialized. the' general assembly of ‘Tennessee upon this plan, and the-Tennessee legisla- .ture has answered that it is ready to co-operate at any time. In addition the Dixie highway will cause the construction of many more miles of .good rdad, because half a dozen or more contesting sections will put their roads in the best posaible condition as an inducement for obtain- ing the route of the highway. Sectlons adjacent to the contesting territorles are offering to build small tributarles if the Dixie highway will come’ within 50 or 100 miles of them. s NEW ENGLAND VERY ACTIVE. Rural Sections In Many States Opened Up by Highway Construction. New England is taking up with ac- tivity a program -of highway improve- ment which will give to that section a greatly improved system of roads. ‘With the exception of Rhode Island, where the legislature made no provi- slons for roads this year, all the New England states will make great ad- vances during the year, Massachusetts \eading with a total expenditure for the twelve months of approximately $3,000,000. Of this sum $2,000,000 ob- tained by bond issue will be expend- ed on poor roads in the far western part of the state, where transportation facilities long bave:been inadequate. In addition M: chusetts will spend this year under the direction of her highway- commission 'and in co-opera- tion with :the:counties; ‘about ‘$750,000 on': state - highways; 5i$150,000- on the small towns,iaind: approximately $75,- 000 under: xarious special bills- passed by the legislature. New Hampshire is_witnessing a re- vival of public roadway improvement ‘which “will increase the rural transpor- tation factlities of the state, under sev- eral acts ‘of the last-legislature. In:Vermont the most interesting out- ‘growth of highway impravement-under a.system of- state aid,.encouraged by sGovernor Gates, ig the.realization of a dream of twenty-five. .years for.cross state transportation facilities. The “jit- ney” idea has been adapted to a pecu- ar need, and recently there has been inaugurated s fast automobile line be- tween Rutland and ‘Bethel connecting an schedule with-the:railroads at: both terminals, which now-links. the eastern and western slopes of the Green Moun- tains and.places a heretofore isolated rural population within shopping dis- tance of the commercial centers. The auto Mne cuts four hours off the time between Rutland and Ran- dolph and Bethel andreduces the fare by more than $2. Vermont expects thata freight-and express line shortly will follow after the inauguration of the passenger line. A textile made in China from raw silk can be ‘buried in the earth a year without deteriorating. The Society of Sponsors of the United States navy is-composed al- most entirely of women.
