tucks may run lengthwise in groups,

one cannot fail to be in the fashion.

Good Roads WIN Follow.

The coming of automobiles will un-
luestionably accelerate the impulse
given by the bicycle to the making of
good roads. When automobiles are
made so cheaply that people must
have them just as they must have i'm
proved farm machinery, then it may
be expected that good roads will come
with rush. They cannot come too
soon. 1t has been demonstrated by
statistics that it costs American
farmers three times as much to haul a
ton as it does the farmers of Europe,
But when automobiles on good roads
so far reduce the cost of carriage that
their uso must be general, then the
conditions of their use, namely, roads
fit for them to run on, may be ex'
pected, indianapolis News.

GOOD ROADS NOTES,
The Necessity For Good Roads.

hhN NtNthbiNg NOuU hOHOts
We are pleased to note the agita-
ton in this direction, which is a
good one. Good roads are necessity
to the farmer and fruit grower apart
from the desirability of having your
products arrive at shipping point in
the best possible condition there are
many other considerations, among
them the saving of time, and the
wear and tear on both man aud beast,
the capacity for carrying increased
loads, etc.
General Roy Stone, Director of Road
Enquiry of the Department of Agri-
culture, says that more activity is be.
ing displayed in road improvements
than has been shown for years, not
only in the construction of new roads
but in the general agitation for their
construction. Gan the road machine
manufacturers, " he says, ''are driven
with orders, and the Office of road in.
quiry is overrun with applications for
advice on road legislature and assist.

There are nearly forty road con-
ventions to be held this fall. mostly
in the Northwest, while a number cf
object lesson roads are to be built in
the West and South.
The use Of convict labor on road
improvements is spreading rapidly in
the Southern States. In one locality
near Charlotte, n. c., seven miles of
good stone ROADS have been built i'll
this manner Every farmer should
take an interest in this movement as
he, more than anyone else, reaps the
benefits Of good roads. Let us be up
and doing. Agitate this question
among your neighbors, with your
legislature and the powers that be in
your locality. True it will mean an
increase in taxes, but the benefits
derived from good roads would more
than compensate you Sacred Heart

CURIOUS INSCRIPTIONS ON BELLS.
Some Have Been of Great Value to the
Historian.

Some Have Been of Great Value to the
Historian.
Europe can boast of the finest col
lection of bells to be found in any
part of the world. Attached to most
of them is either pretty legend or n
picturesque history, for they repre-
sent the love and labor, the aspira-
tions and the struggles OF the com
munity where they are situated. Many
of the bells, however, have decorations
and inscriptions on them which are
very curious. OF this kind was =
legend of "AIighty Tom" of Oxioru,
before its recasting in 1912. The
translation of the Latin inscription
would be:
For Thomas sake
/ cry BIN BON, and no mistake"
Sometimes where there was a chime
each bell had separate legend A
good deal of the poetry is really dog
gerel as:
''On Sabbath all
To church call
Another one:
Inscriptions were found on some OF
the seventeenth century bells. Among
them one in Addington, 1858:
"When you hear this mourntul sound
Prepare yourself for underground"
The following lines are met with in
great many places in the different
countries;
If TO the church the living call
And to the grave do summon all"
All the bells do not have such lugu-
brious inscriptions. Sometimes the
Inscriptions refer to a wedding:
"When men in Hvmen's bond unto
Oar merry peals produce delight"
AT times il is used for secular pur-
poses, resulting in the appropriate in
scriptions, AZ
'ILord quench this furious flame,
Arise, rum help put out the same"
The church of st. Ives has bell
which has the following terse inscrip-
tion:
arise and go about your business"
In addition to the various notices,
etc, in many cases there has been
found on the bells the record of eccle.

time of their casting which have been
of great value to the historian. At
Clapham, Bedlordshire, there is

ton is upside down. IT reads "God
Save the Church." and the word
"church" is upside down.

Automobiiists should Helm.


The League of American Wheelmen
will make an effort to get all owners
OF automobiles to become members.
The two classes have one common de-
sire-the betterment of the public
highways, and ms the league has for
several years agitated this subject and
is acknowledged the leader in the
good roads movement, it is expected
that there will he little trouble in get
ting owners of the new vehicles to
Join in the crusade for better high
ways. Should the league be success
rul in its purpose it will be to the ad-
vantage of the organization, as we'll as
the automobile owners, as it will bring
TO its membership an influential class,
and one which has as yet taken little
interest in the good roads movement.
That the automobile rider will have to
take hand in the agitation cannot be
disputed, for under present conditions
there are comparatively few reads in
this country suitable for either class
of vehicles, and the automobile own
ers must have good highways as well
as the wheel owners. To secure
these they can do no better than to
join forces with the wheelmen, and as
the league is desroGs of increasing it's
membership they will be approached
with view to their becoming mem
bers and active workers for good
roads.

A Simple Language.

The grammar of the Chinese Ian
guage is so simple as to be almost
non existent. The same word serves
indifferently as a noun, verb, adverb,
or adjective. Moods, lenses, persons,
gender aud number are lacking; thero
are neither coniugations nor declen-
sions. nor auxiliary verbs. The few
Chinese who have attempted TO master
the English tongue regard its gram
matical construction as clumsy aud
full of pitfalls.

The Agricultural Department has
collected statistics showing that the
average load hauled over our Ameri-
can country roads is almost exactly
one ton, and that the hauling costs
per mile about twenty-five cents for
each wagon load or ton. In Western
Europe, the average load is three tons
and the cost per mile a ton varies from
seven to ten cents The average for
England France, Germany, Italy,
Switzerland and Belgium is SO cents
per mile for every ton. European
farmers are enabled by their better
roads to haul loads three times as
heavy as in this country and thereby
save two-thirds, approximately, of the
cost.
Those figures are telling argu-
ment for better roads. The waste of
time and labor aud the wear and tear
on vehicles enter but slightly into the
computation and should also be con
sidered. The whole story shows the
miserably mistaken economy of bad
roads. st. Paul Dispatch.

Reducing the Fashionable Chain.

The fashionable chain is reducing,
in some instances, both its dimension
and weight. 1t is neither so long nor
so heavy as heretofore. There seems
an approach to the delicate beauty of
the slender gold chains which our
grandmothers wore reaching to the
waistband into which the watch was
tucked. Some of the newest chains
are quite fine, and extend about half
way to the waist, supporting small
watch or fine pendant.

Among the really indispensable
things exhibited in the shops are the
new shirt waists. Notwithstanding
the fact that these comfortable gar

and each season some one asserts that

great demand.
Styles vary, aud special designers
in the large shops always are working
out novelties. The new flannel and
silk waists merit going n long dis
tance to see, for they are beauties,
and not at all expensive. OF course,
the best are tailor made, as they
should be to have the quiet style so
necessary in this garment; but of all
things worn by woman the shirt waist
is, perhaps, the only article which can
be made at home and really look the
