There was very well attended and
successful Populist picnic here in the
grove on the Colbert Farm yesterday,
the 23rd, being the 9Th annual picnic
The address of the day was given by
Mrs. Anna Diggs, of Kansas who proved
to be thoroughly posted on the questions
of the day, and held her audience very
closely for 2 hours. We found it an easy
matter to raise the small amount ($1O)
needed to pay her expenses and bill, and
all retired expressing themselves as more
than paid, and gratified at the result of
the picnic.
Brethren, let the good work go forward

that in order To save trouble the stake
holder had returned the forfeit money

put up as bluff. The Clyde managers
were anxious to pull of the game and
offered To make the stakes as high or low
as the Greenwich club desired. but their
offer was not taken and the game Is off
and now the Clyde men are wondering
what right the stakeholder, had 10 return
the forfeit money TO the Greenwich club
without the consent of the Clyde mana

RURAL EXISTENCE.
Building of Good Roads VIII Make
1t Delightful Indeed.


1t Delightful Indeed.
Wherever experiments in rural mail de-
livery have been made it has been found
towork most uccessfully-during clear
weather when the roads were all right.
Which indicates how indissolubly
linked together are the problems of
good roads and the uplift of the social
life of the farm.
The time has come when the Ameri-
can farmer must sit down to think out
this question of good roads and how to
get them. It is not an exaggeration to
say that to the future of American agri-
culture few things bear so important
relationship as does the question of
good roads. Indeed, if the generation
now growing up on the farm is to be
kept on the farm, better social advan-
tages will be found absolutely neces-
sary, and what single thing could con-
tribute so much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question is being dis
cussed in desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
wheelmen of the town and the farmer
of the country should stand shoulder to
shoulder, must be put forth if substan-
tial advance is to be made. With the
harvests out of the way, there should be
set on foot movement looking to this
end.
With good roads farm life will have
all the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added the advantages of
the town, of daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm, which so many
now desert for the city, into the most
attractive of homes, and give once more
10 agriculture first place among the
professions and occupations of life

THE COST DIVIDED.
new Jerseys Road Improvement Law
Is just and Fair.

New Jerseys Road Improvement Law
Is just and Fair.
The farmers of the country are grad
tally going over to the belief that good
roads are for their personal benefit and
there is decided change of sentiment
along the line in many of the states.
One of the chief obstacles to the reform
has been the fear of the farmers that
the cost of highway improvements
would fall chiefly on them and as they
feel that they are already burdened
heavily enough they resist the passage
of good-roads laws with their local in
fuence and their votes often to the de-
feat of these worthy projects New
jersey has law now in force, however,
that illustrates how properly this bur-
den can be divided between the individ-
ua1 and the community so that it falls
lightly upon the farmer. This law an
portions the cost of all road Improve
ments as follows: One-third is paid by
the state, one-tenth by the individual
beneficiary of the improvement, the
owner of the abutting property, and the
remainder by the county in which the
improvement occurs. Reduced to a
scale of thirtieths the state paws ten
parts, the individual three parts and
the county seventeen parts. Stated in
still another way the various burdens
are more easily appreciated. The aver
age cost of repairing road with
macadam finish is about $4,000 a mile.
Of this sum the county would pay ST.
roo. the state 81 900 and the individual
$500. 1t is to be remembered that the
$500 in this case is usually divided
among several persons, as few proper
ties in this section of the country ex-
tend for much more than a quarter or
half a mile along a highway, and the
tax is assessed on the owners on each
side of the road. Thus it will frequent
~ occur that the individual will paw d.
rectly for first-class road in front of
his property and for a mile adjacent
such small sum as $40 or $50. To be
sure he pays as well his share of the
county tax and in less proportion his
part of the state tax, but these burdens
are comparatively light and easily
borne. These improvements in New
Jersey are undertakes on the petition
of the owners of the abutting property.
Such laws as this, if copied in other
states, would probably result in an inn
mediate betterment of the country
roads in every section, an improvement
OF untold benefit to millions of people.
