of just $3.50.

In the great arid west district sew
eral enterprising settlers have bought
or fixed up various kinds of windmills,

the dry, parched desert blossom as the

these industrious people is J. l.. Brown,

made entirely by him of cast-off farm

new material for five or six dollars.
This mill has furnished water since
1894 for house, stock and a ten-acre

TREASURES DRAINED.
the Drainage Where the Pub
lie Doesn't Want 1t.

Ihomas l.. Pogue, chairman of the
Ohio Division l.. A.. W. Good Roads
committee. has the following terSe re-
marks to make on Draining the roads
instead of the treasury"
IF the modern politician could truly
enter into these words: Ny country,
It's of thee | think instead of My
country, think of me- and the amount
it cost me to get the election. and the
amount it costs me TO support the style
that is expected of me. holding this
great and honorable position as | now
do, 1t would change about the drain
age system of all the great states. In
stead of paving particular attention
to the draining of the state treasury,
there would be more attention paid to
the drainage of the so-called state high
ways
spoke wiser than he knew. did the
man that coined the expression The
county HAS gone dry for it is the only
way the county could 90. for no great
things were ever moved about in mud,
and no county will ever get a tirst-class
business hustle until it has first
class roads, for these are the veins of
prosperity, and if there is any trouble
with the veins the body is not healthy.
When a man gets bilious he takes
something. perhaps thoroughwort. and
when a county gets bilious and things
don't move as they should. the best
thing for that county is to take Il good
large dose of thoroughwork, and drain
all the roads; hen the second dose,
stone all the main roads; and the third
dose, stone all the roads.
Some n says, what talk. That
would bankrupt a county. Well. if the
timid party will take the trouble to in
vestigate he will find that every acre of
tillable land in the state. which is not
enhanced in value by its nearness to
some village Or city, can bond itself to
twice its value for permanent roads,
and such an act. if it were necessary,
would be a good investment, and the
owner could. if all did the same thing
so that permanent roads were contin-
uous. pay the interest and retire the
bonds. and be worth more money in 40
wears than he otherwise would have
been. However. this is not necessary,
for permanent stone roads can be built
for much less than the value of the land
to-day. but if these roads were built.
land would climb the value ladder fast
cr and 90 up higher than the most
sanguine good roads advocate would
dare to prophecy"
