Farmers Can Make Good Roads.

John Gilmer Speed, writing on
''How to Have Good Country Roads, :
in the August Ladies Home Journal,
proposes THAT in each county there
be founded Road Improvement As
ISOLATION, which shall have one or
two days meeting in the Autumn of
each year. To the membership and
to the meetings all the farmers should
be invited, while all those in the coun-
ty acting as road overseers, or road
supervisors, should be urged especi-
ally to attend. At these meetings
special, definite, practical instruction
should be given in maintaining and
repairing dirt roads. Competent
men to give such instruction can be
secured without cost to such societies
for the United States Department of
Agriculture has Road Bureau, and
this bureau will always supply COM
petent instructor to tell the people
just exactly what they need, and how
to do the work as it should be done"
Mr.. Speed also urges that school
children be interested in the work and
taught the rudiments of road-build-
ing and bookkeeping.

Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
Agree to Wait Awhile.

Washington, March 20.-ghe Senate
committee on foreign relations held two
sessions today ard adjourned a few
minutes before O'Clock without reaching
any agreement Commander Bradford,
chief of the bureau of equipment, was. be-
fore the committee for several hours giving
expert testimony rs to the relative
strength of the natives OF Spain and the
United States, aud also strongly advocat-
ing the purchase of tia Island of st.
Thomas of the Danish West Indies, as a
naval station.
Tho committee as the result Of it's
session agreed to postpone the completion
of the COMMITTEES work on the Cuban
situation for few days in order to afford
time to the President to continue his
Diplomatic ne sotiations with the Spanish
authorities. This concession was the re-
suit OF tho REQ nest made direct to mem-
bers of the committee by the President
and it was granted by the entire commit
tee without any murmur OF dissent.
The President freely admitted to the
visiting Senator'S that the negotiations
with Spain wers rapidly approaching a
crisis and said he felt quite confident %
conclusion would be reached by Friday
night at the latest. He asked that in view
of these facts no action be taken by either
house until after that time, or until the
present negotiations could be brought to
a close.
The representations were of a character
to satisfy the committee and when it ad-
