The uses to which tailor Doves

Experts say that it would be
useless for infantry or cavalry in
the field, as its bulk would prevent
the wearer using his arms, but they
think very favorably of it as u
material for making screens to
shield gun detachments, and for
sheltering men in the trenches. In
this direction there should be a
future for the material, which
undoubtedly does catch or other
wise prevent the penetration of a
bullet, even when fired at close

as the screen could readily be

problematical whether the cloth

IS THE FARMER GUILTY.
He Has Been Charged with Opposing Pub.
lie Roads Improvement.

if' tA'siits 81 ifArFttAititts
1t has often been asserted that the
main opposition to improved highways
proceeds from those WHO would receive
the largest benefit from thcn- mmely,
the farmers.
l. this true? IL becomes che duty of
the American farmer TO ask h.m elf if
there is the least basis for 0n assertion
which throws upon him tiocuei odium
for public condition which he is over
ready TO condemn and blame, maybe
upon his road oversecr or county court.
So far as the facts arc brought out it
must be confessed that the farmer has
been guilty at least OF inexplicable neg
ligence OF his own interest ia doing moth
ing to inaugluato a reform whose neces-
sity he would be the last to deny. New
York has n road law adopted at nearly
the same time as the Missouri law and
similar 70 it in many respects. Like the
Missouri law, however, it must be rat
ified by the counties before becoming
effective, and this feature has operated
to make it practically dead letter.
In Missouri the case is similar, and if
anything worse. A law has remained
upon the statute books for nearly year,
which, if rightly applied, might have
led to the construction Of hundreds of
miles Of first class roads Yet this law
today, by reason Of the Indifference or
opposition Of some one, is to all intents
and purposes an unknown thing.
If the farmers are responsible for this
state OF affairs either in New York or
Missouri, it is time that they were wax
ing up. The benefit to the farmer of
good roads is more than double their
benefit to any other person. To others it
may be question of pleasure and Incl
dentally, through the increased value Of
real estate and growing population Of
desirable residents, Of business To the
farmer it is a matter of business pre-
eminently. IL pleasure and convenience
come in, they are only incidental. There
is much talk of the ''prohibitive" cost
of good roads, but any shrewd business
man or investor, after weighing the facts
on each side, would be willing to pay
twice the amount if necessary and have
good roads.
IN all probability the farmer is not
wholly to blame for the prevailing in
difference TO road Improvement. Wheth-
er he is or not there is glorious oppor-
tunity before the AmoIjean farmer to
prove to the townsman that he is not a
mossback, dead to his own interest, but
a live, progressive membe { society.
The way for him to do it is to take the
lead in road reform himself az never
turn back until the desire end is
reached. Kansas City Times.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1894-06-08

Many people who have not studied the
subject of improved roads do not under
stand the immense benefit which they
bring to a community. Yet of all the
thousands OF miles OF good roads that
have been made in this and other coun-
tries the first mile has not yet been
found that has not proved 10 be profita-
BILE The increase in land values alone
is always more than enough TO pay for
the improvement Some benefits and adj
vantages we cannot always compute in
dollars and cents, and some things our
common sense impels rs to take for
granted No farmer in this country can
tell the money value Of an education,
and yet each farmer comedies its value
and sends his children 10 school and
watches carefully their advancement in
knowledge. Good health is Of infinite
value, and the farmer seeks it and guards
it, but he cannot tell its value in dollars
and cents The same is true of good
habits, good morals-and good clothes.
Do not, therefore, waste any time in
doubling the value Of a good road. The
people of other countries who have used
bad roads and now use good ones are
we'll satisfied that every dollar spent in
this work is a good investment, and not
one of them would tolerate the miser-
able dirt roads with which SO many
American farmers seem to be content. -

College Clubs In New York.

Notwithstanding the prosperity Of the

whose memberships are restricted to col
lege men and the army and navy, the col
lege society clubs In this town have -four
ished and I'LL no mean place In club life.
Their membership is even more restricted
than the memberships In the university
club, for man must not only be q college
man, but he must be member OF tho

Is named. Such clubs - the Psi q, the

houses of their own fitted up with all the
conveniences of club life. There arc q
dozen other Greek letter clubs not 80 well
known, but quite as comfortable In their
appointments as these, and each OF them
is well supported. AS o rule, these college
society clubs are quieter and more homo
like than the big clubs, and among their
members are many Of the most conspicu-
Gus men In New York, who have Joined
them because OF loyalty to their college fra
ternity The men who use them most
however, are OF the younger crowd Of COL
lege men, whose college associations are
fresher and who have not begun to extend
