Judge Standrod decided the other day
at Pocatello that the county commits
sioners had no right to authorize the
sheriff to issue liquor licenses between
the slttings Of the board. This sets
aside all licenses issued by the sheriff
since the last meeting Of the board OF
commissioners Hereafter all places
selling liquor must first obtain license
from the commissioners at their regular
session, and the sheriff has no right to
issue them. This as the Pocatello Tribune
states, is directly opposite the rule here
tofoFe followed, when the sheriff issued
neatly if not all the licenses. AS this
is Judge Standrod's district his opinion
is as forceful here as at Pocaiello.

Straws arc seen in great variety of both

Upon these straws flowers ara placed in

flowers now arc often real works Of art, so

they initiate nature. Fashion sometimes

many hats, being placed in clusters before,
behind, at the sides, on the crown and be-
low the brim. There are also toques and

ECONOMY OF HARD ROADS.

They Save Money For All. but More Es-
pecially For the Farmer.
The weakness Of the common argu-
ment of the farmers that good roads are
of benefit to wheelmen only is briefly
and forcibly shown by a writer in tho
Chicago Record: He says: ITO one who
is accustomed to hard roads the discus
sions of Illinois farmers on the futillty
of constructing them seem ridiculous.
It would seem as if the reason would
teach them that it would be more pleas
ant, to say the least, to drive over I:
hard road that would only become a
trifle sloppy in the worst weather than
to struggle through the stickiest OF mud.
1t is scarcely better when it freezes. l
have known farmers in western Illinois
TO completely wear out new buggy by
driving over the rough roads, where on
hard roads the winter season would
have been but little harder upon We
hicle than any other.
s'Hard roads should be looked upon
not as luxury alone, but as a matter
Of economy, although luxuries they un-
doubtedly are But let the Illinois
farmer consider in how many ways he
is hampered, his work hindered, per-
haps his crops sold at a loss, all on &C
count of bad roads, and he will come to
the conclusion that bicyclists are not
the only ones interested in the good
roads movement.
cit seems a weak sort Of argument
upon which to base opposition to this
much needed reform that farmers ought
to oppose the movement because bicy-
clists are in favor Of it SO strongly. Yet
such an argument we find advanced at
an Illinois farmers institute, the speak
or considering the wheelman as the enc
my of the farmer because the use OF
bicycles has to a certain degree aided in
bringing about the present low price OF
horses. And we find another making
the preposterous statement that bicy-
clists and the manufacturers of stone
crushers and of brick are the only ones
benefited by good roads. So long as the
farmer stands in his own light after
this fashion and refuses to lend his en-
couragement to a movement intended
to benefit him more than any one else
how can he expect to better his present
hard lot? Others are not going to do it
fo,r him -
