Wide Tires Are Money Savers.

Tho importance of wide tires for ve-
hiclcs is not sufficiently realized. They
save expensive stone roads from being
worn into rats, cut up and ruined by
traffic, and they improve dirt roads by
wearing them down to a smooth sur
face. Experiments show that loaded
wage II with two inch tires will soon
folm lad and deep ruts in dirt road
while tie same lead Oh Il wagon with
four or five inch tires will roll Il COM

haul the lead IN Tie latter case Is re-

FARMS AND MARKETS.
Good Roads Mean Good Farms, Good
Prices and Good Times.


Prices and Good Times.
A highly important feature Of the
highways question, says the New York
Tribune, is the effect good or bad roads
have upon the local markets and their
Eources of supply. In all the cities and
large towns of the state there is de-
lnand for farm products and for tho
bulkier and heavier products such as
,ay and straw and grain. In many cases
he surrounding country is quite capa-
yle of supplying that demand; in all
rases it should do SO as far as possible;
in most cases it does not. Instead sup
plies are brought in by rail or canal
from far away, perhaps from other
states; while at the same time, within
few miles Of the market thus sup.
|plied are farms that have been aban-
5loned as not worth working, and others
Whose owners are in chronic discomfort
md despair at the apparent impossible
6ty Of getting profitable prices for their
crops. The big farms of the west, they
bay, monopolize the markets, and SO
Farming here no longer pays.
Now, enc prime secret Of tho trouble
Dies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart, by
1naking it difficult, if not impossible,
Tor the farmers to get their produce to
market The farmer 1000 miles away
ran get his crops to market by rail or
j,anal more easily and more chcaply
than the farmer only 10 miles away can
haul his in over roads that are SO hlIly
Rnd rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load fora horse to draw at Il slow
foot pace 1t is not that farms III the
east are no longer productive, nor that
the eastern market no longer offers fair
prices 1t Is that the roads between the
Farms and the markets are SO bad as to
bake shipment Improbable. Good roads
throughout the farming regiCI adjacent
10 the cities and towns would do more
fhan anything else to restore prosperity
TO the farmers, enabling them to get
their goods to the best possible market
easily, promptly and cheaply. Good
loads would mean good farms, good
|markets, good prices and good times
tor all concerned.

SpaiII'S View Of Taylor.

New York Times.
Tie Spanish bc.ici seems strange
enough to- Us that an American cX-mln-
lister is subject to discipline from the
state Department and cannh express
his views in print even after his mission
is couc,uGrd. 1t would, of course, Ic
well founded il We had Il diplomatic ser
yi"c Ike that OF Spain and, indeed, OF Eu-
rrrc in general, in which men were pro-
NOTED or transferred from III" post to
another and did net lrnvc their employ
mrnt when their appointments expired.
But General WcyIcr's case IS one which
We can understand No American adj
mini-tlution would allow itself to
be publicly talked about by an
officer Of the army as the re-
called governor general talked III
Havana about the government which
has recalled him. What he said was
nothing less than an impUtation that his
recall was due to the combined inliu-
cncc of 'thc United States and the
rebcls.' The Madrid government cannot
allow such characterization to 60 unno-
,iccd 1t is possible that Gen. Weyler has
himself into serious trouble. The reasons
for his recall are obvious He has igno-
minio,sly failed to pacify Cuba and he
has wasted the ENORMOUS resources
which his Government intrusted to him.
So far as he is personally concerned, his
mission may not have been failure.
We have good reason for believing that
to be Spanish Viccroy is as profitable
as to be an American boss. But after
two years of public defeat and hunllhl-
ton Viceroy who finds compensation
for these things in his private bank ac-
count is i'll advised if he does not give
up his place quietly. When he intina'es
that he is removed from it by the machi-
nations Of foreigners and rebels, he sub
iccts himself to very severe discipline.
1t is to be hoped, in the interest of hui
manty and dccency, that this will be ad-
ninistcrcd to him in full measure.

4 ''shinc 'cm up shop owned and OPP
Grated by Il woman is Il novel business
venture for Kansas City. Such a shop
was started at Il West Ninth street by
Mrs. +. b. Maxwe", Il dark -haiGcI widow
Of 1924 Broadway. She has already sold
$50 worth OF cummlltatinn tickets t"
leading Kansas City officers, lawyers and
business men and is confident Of success.
"This is going to be an anti-matrimon-
III, shop" said she ''for am going t"
repair mems hosiery and see that their
shoes are mcndcd and supplied with
Shocstrings. So they won't need to get
married to have these II alters attended
to.'
The first bootb!ack shop operated by q
woman was started in rcnvcr Il few
years ago by Miss lie Verne Hall. She
made 81, 600 in three months, and now
with the earnings Of her shop, wli:h'
she still owns, she is studying at NasSar
College.
Mrs. Maxwell has been a stcnographcr
for years, but poor health threw her out
OF regular employment few months ago.
While studying over what she could do
to earn living without injury to her
health she suggested to her friends that
she thought she could make money run
ming boot blacking shop. They advised
her to 60 ahead. She rented the build
ing at II West Ninth street and set ol,t
to sell commutation tickets. She met
with success everywhere, nearly all the
city officers from the Mayor down pur-
chasing tickets of her,
When Mrs. Maxwell gets her shop fully
equipped she will have three ''shine 'em
up' stands, 1t was her first intention to
have girls do the shining, but her friends
told her that they did not believe that
would be popular, and soshe has engaged
competent negro helpers. Of course the
s lop will have a 'mihine appearance. 1t
is supplied with lace curtains, and the
chairs and other furniture are decorated
with ribbons and lacework. iIrs. Max
well is the cashier, and she will be at
her shop early and late to see that her
customers get the best Of treatment.
"'vc secured the very best patronage"
said she, 'and I'm going to personally
see that all are treated we'll.
Mrs. Maxwell is n dark-haircd woman.
about 80 years old. She j.. well educated,
refined and very enthusiastic over what
ever she undertakes. Her husband was
Judge W. Maxwell, Of Louisville, III.
She was at one time engaged in neWspa
per work on the Atchi>on, Kan, Beacon.
Since coming to Kansas City with her
daughter and her mother from st. Louis,
where she lived five years ago, she has
been stcnographer successfully for the
Citizens National Bank and the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Company.
But her health no longer permits her to
engage in contining work; hence this
venture.

The Reward of Providence.

Heaven helps those who help them
selves. The American people helped
themselves last November, when they
voted for protection to American indus
tries, and by so doing voted to keep
American gold at home and to keep the
home market for American products.
Now heaven is doing its part. 1t has
bestowed upon us the Alaskan gold
fields to provide more American gold to
be kept at home; it has added to the
increased demand for American prod
ucts in the home market greatly in
creased demand in foreign markets for
American wheat and corn. Plainly
Providence is rewarding the American
people for their return to the ways Of
good sense and of sound economies.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1897-11-24

The earth is brown and skies are gray,
And the windy woods are bare,
And the first white flakes Of the coming snow
Are afloat In the frosty air.
But the sparks fly up from the hickory log
On the homestead's broad stone hearth
And the windows shake, and the rafters ring
To the lads and the lasses' mirth
The farmers face Is furrowed and worn,
And his locks are thin and white,
But his hand is steady, his voice is clear,
And his eye is blue and bright
As he turns TO look at his sweet old wife,
Who sits in her gown of gray,
With the cobweb kerchief and creamy frills
She wore on her wedding day.
He bows his head TO the laden board
And the guests they are silent all.
Thanksgiving, Lord, for the sun and rain,
And the fruit on the orchard wall.
For the silver wheat, and the golden corn,
And the crown Of peaceful life
The greatest blessing that thou canst give
true and loving wife!"
This white haired lover he bends to kiss
Her hand in its frill of lace
And the faded rose on her wrinkled check
With a proud and courtly grace,
And the snowfakes click on the window pane.
And the rafters ring above,
And the angels sing Mt the gates Of God
The words of the farmers love.

witnesses such beautiful reunions as we
find at Thanksgiving Men immersed in

to the rocky farm in Massachusetts,, or
the prairie home in Wisconsin, or the
wheatfield of Dakota, to be boys again

LOOK on The BRIGHT SIDE.
We Have Mag Causes % NJ Thankful II
We Try 20 See Them.

We Have Mag Causes 10 N rhaakfsl ~
We Try 70 See Them.
Another Thanksgiving day has dawn
Cd, and we are perhaps questioning our
selves as to whether we have any cause
for gratitude in the way our lives have
been ordered. The pessimist, looking al
ways ON the dark side, says, well, I
may be fairly happy today, but that
doesn't argue that l may not be utterly
miserable tomorrow, and In oonso-
quence he or she, instead Of being thank
full for the present good, frets over the
future evil which perhaps-who knows?
may never come.
Every one Of us has something for
which to give thanks today. Now be-
gin and analyze our possessions and see
If the blessings do not outweigh the
miseries II we have health, we should
rejoice; that is rare gift that cannot
be too warmly appreciated. If dear
one who has been at death s door is re-
stored to us, that is another cause for
jubilation. Even if we are pressed hard
financially, there are compensating sides
to that situation. Nothing is so bad but
1t could be worse, and though we may
not feel privileged to shout over posi-
tive good we can be happy in the fact
that it is not positive evil Every one
Of us has the power to make sunshine
in our own and in the lives of others.
Burdens there are to bear for every pair
of shoulders, but in helping others, in
self sacrifice. in q desire to be sweet,
womanly and lovable, our own trials
slip away and when Thanksgiving day
comes around we can, with joyous
heart, declare that we have much to be
grateful for.
All holidays have their sorrowful
side; they are reminiscent of other &C.
casions when the family in perfect, un-
broken numbers sat around the table
and reveled in the spirit Of the occasion.
Now they are scattered here and there.
Death, perhaps, has claimed some, and
the feast Of today is but a mere shadow
Of the functions Of other seasons long
gone by. But if you are left entirely
alone and are obliged to sit down to
your solitary meal with no companions
save your own thoughts, you still have
cause for thankfulness, and you will
find it if you only make it your bust
ness to look for it instead Of moping
and repining over what cannot be helped
and what is only made worse by brood
ing upon. Awake in touch with the
spirit of the day, and you will find
that, despite all past troubles or present
annoyances, you can cause the "a hours
to brim over with gratefulness that may
do much to make other ones equally
joyous.
