GREATEST ROAD PROBLEM. Bt Is to/ Construct and Maintain Prop- erly Existing Earth Roads. The greatest road problem, particu- Jarly that of the township or road dis- trict, is to construct and maintain prop- erly the existing earth roads, according to B. H. Pipmeier. maintenance engi- neer of the Illinois highway depart- ment. In view of the tremendous amount of earth road work to be done and of money to be spent for it, every effort should be directed along lines leading to the best results. If the grades, cross section and drainage of earth roads are properly established they will not need alteration when the roadways are provided with a wmore durable wearing surface at a later date.

GRAND THEATER Louise Glaum, in the character of ‘Marie Chaumontel, in ‘‘Somewhere inx France,” is a woman who exerts her| sensuous charms for the specific pur- pose of stealing military secrets for} the Germans from the French. She cares no more for the life of a man than she does for that of a fly, but her sacrifices are always made for something more tangible than' the; delight of a vicious woman in play- ing upon masculine weakness.

Tonight, Mr. Smith will speak on the subject, “The Reason Why the Non-Christian is Not a Christian.” It will be a straight-from-the-shoulder discourse and that’s certain. A solo by the evangelist, a duet by Smith and Gilmore and a trio by Smith, Gilmore and Alvord, together with a big chorus choir will make an attractive musical program tonight. The second of the “Progressive Life Talks” will be given by Smith at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afterncon and the subject will be “Service.” after the folks who call themselves Christians but whose Iife belies tise profession.
