what will Good Roads save the rarmersq

IF the cost of marketing the crop of a
given county can be reduced by ten
per cent. through the building of good
roads, that county will find good roads
paying investment. Good roads once
built will last almost forever, and the
cost of maintaining them is relatively
smaller the better they are built in the
first place. Crops are marketed year
after year, and the unnecessary ex-
penditure of time and effort, the IN
necessary wear and tear on wagons and
harness, resulting from bad roads, re-
peat themselves annually. Money
spent on good roads is an investment
which pays handsome annual divi-
dends. They are as certain, too, as the
annual return of the warm spring sun
shine after the frost and SHOWS of
winter. Good roads are most profit
able investment.
1t has been estimated that five hun
dred million tons of farm produce are
hauled to market annually in the
United States, and that the cost of
marketing it is two dollars per ton, or
just about one billion dollars. This is
not money paid out, but is the value of
the time spent by farmers with their
teams in marketing crops, or what
these men and teams would have
earned if they had been hired for cash
Ito do this amount of hauling. The
secretary of the Farmers National
Congress and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture agree in this
estimate. They further agree in esti-
mating that about go per cent of this
vast amount or 100000, 900 would be
saved each year if farmers were able to
do this hauling over good roads.
This, then, is the amount of the an
nual mud tax to which we have been
submitting. Railroads, telegraphs and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the states and subsidized by the gov
eminent, but nothing has been done for
the common country road. The farm
ers alone have had to build country
roads. without assistance from the cit
les, from wealthy corporations or from
the state. Every citizen will be bene-
fitted by the construction of good roads,
directly and indirectly, and every tax
payer should contribute his share to
their cost. No wonder the farmer OPP
poses the good roads movement, if he
alone is to stand the expense. He has
rightly suggested that he should be
assisted through the medium of a state
road tax, under system of state aid, as
now employed in New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts.

Between twenty-five and thirty OF

gathered at the parsonage on the
return of Rev. Robertson from confer

visit, where a most enjoyable evening
was spent. Rev. Robertson and wife

Bristol w. C. T. U.

One of the most profitable and pleas
ant social affairs that has ever taken
place in Bristol. was the parlor meet
ing at Miss Cuttings last Friday after
noon, given by the W. c. T. q. The
paper by Miss Perkins on Impurity
in the Public Schools, was most ex-
cellent, being we'll calculated to arrest
the attention of mothers to the dangers
awaiting their little ones the moment
they enter school life, and the import
ance of perfect confidence between
parent and child. In the discussion
following this paper many very helpful
thoughts were brought out, one espec-
tally, was the mistake mothers SO often
make of sending their children to
school too young, before they have been
taught by the careful mother the differ
ence between right and wrong, and
have gained strength of character
sufficient to keep them from being
easily led into wrong doing. The
other paper entitled "The Perfect
Mother" given by DR.. Corr, was
equally good, and quickened in every
listening mother heart a desire for
more knowledge to fit them for mother
hood, and determination to be more
watchtul of the dear little ones entrust-
ed to their care. This paper was also
followed by a very helpful discussion.
Why will so many needy mothers re-
fuse this food, so generously proffered
them?
The devotional service was led by
Mrs. Ellen Marsh, and was very much
enjoyed. Mrs. VIM. Foulke rendered
an instrumental solo, "Jesus Lover of
My Soul" in a very acceptable manner.
The spacious parlors were we'll filled,
and during the time intervening be-
tween program and tea, everybody
was made acquainted and a general
good social time was INDUCED in. The
tables fairly groaned under their bur-
den of goodies, until about fifty people
had been served, many being present
from Pleasant Prairie and the Plank
and Geneva roads. The dime enter
tainment at the church in the evening
was we'll worth the price of admission.
Each one on the program was heartily
received. All did WE'LL and taken as a
whole the day was a great success, and
adds another good treat given by the
Bristol W. G.. T. q.
