WHEELMEN TO HELP.
Much Work for Good Hands to- Be
Done This Year by Leading
Bicycle Organizations.

Now that the League of American
Wheelmen has abolished its racing de-
partment, every attention will be
given the other branches of the work.
The most important of these is the
highway improvement department, in
which is intrusted the work in behalf
of the good roads movement, which
was started by the L. A. W., and
which has been constantly agitated
by it for almost 20 years. The league
has made rapid strides in this move
ment, particularly during the past
year, but the racing question has re-
fected upon this as upon all other
deparements, the belief being dissem-
mated that none of the branches of
league work could be made effective
until the racing question was settled.
The most important work accom-
plished last year was the holding of
many good roads conventions in va
rious states, the introduction of
highway improvement measures in
many of the state legislatures and
the evolution of the movement to ma
tlonal proportions, as was evidenced
by the bill introduced in congress call
ing for an appropriat ton of $5,000,0OO.
Constitutional amendments were car
ried in Michigan and Minnesota, and
large amount of education on the
subject was circulated by the league.
All of this work will be continued
during the present year, but upon a
much larger scale than heretofore. In
fact, this will be one of the most i'm
portant agitations of the year, aside
from the presidential elections. The
delegates of the L. A. W. were never
more enthusiastic upon the subject,
and they will enter into the work
with increased vigor. They expect
the cooperation of all wheelmen in the
great work they are doing.

Mr.. T. G.. Walker, Carneiro, Kansas,
writes: ut is with pleasure that report
that am better than have been for many
years. I believe Peruna is without a doubt
the best medicine that ever was used in a
family. It has cured my nervousness, with
which. I have been afflicted for a great num-
Der of years."
It is fact of ever-increasing aston;sh.
ment that so many otherwise sensible and
provideDt people will, for the neglect of so
simple a precaution as to have bottle of
Peruna at hand, bring upon themselves the
needless suffering and foolish expense that
practitioner of medicine is forced to wit
ness every day.
AS soon as the value of Peruna is fully ap-
preciated by every household, both as a pre-
ventive and cure of these affections, tens of
thousands of lives will be saved, and hun
dreds of thousands of chronic, lingering
cases Oh, disease prevented. Peruna is the
household safeguard.

RURAL FREE DELIVER 81
System Has Proved a Failure in Many
Localities on Account of -
Execrable Roads.

The farmers of Washington county,
Pa, have at last attained their hearts
desire-free rural mail delivery. And
at the same time they discover that
the system will probably be failure,
owing to the bad condition of the
roads in that country. Strange, isn't
it, that this discovery was not made
before the government acceded to the
demands for the mail service? Verify,
what fools these mortals bel" Aft
er having listened in stony silence for
rs years to good roads sermons and
in the meantime deciding that rural
mail service was of more value than
good roads, these farmers discover
that the road must come first and
that rural mail delivery will follow
naturally. AS it is, they have put the
cart before the horse, and as result
the horse backs away.
Here was the proposition which
these farmers considered: Good roads.
which would enable the farmer to
haul his products to market at less
cost and with greater ease than with
the present roads; and, secondly, rural
delivery, whose only advantage is the
delivery of letters once day. Sup
pose that the letter which the rural
carrier delivers contains an offer for
the farmers wheat at one dollar per
bushel on immediate delivery, and
suppose that the roads are in their
usual impossible condition.; then
what? The farmer tears his whiskers
and other hirsute adornment and
cusses the government that allows
such roads to be built. He forgets
that the building of roads lies within
his own power; that if he asserts him
self he can procure the finest roads in
the world. Instead, he is obliged to
lose this chance to sell his wheat at
one dollar per bushel, merely because
he has accepted rural mail delivery
| in lieu of good roads. That letter does
him no good; it is the immediate de-
livery of the wheat that counts, and
rural mail carriers are not addicted to
carrying wheat to the railroad sta
ton some miles away. Rural delivery
will surely follow good roads, and
good roads may possibly follow free
rural mail delivery, but let us have
the roads first. You cannot send sew
eral hundred bushels of wheat by
mail, but with good roads you can
have the pleasure, the real pleasure,
of driving into "town" any day with
your wheat and other products and
get your own mail, and then you will
not feel the need of free rural mail
delivery. When you get the good
roads, then the boys will want BIZ
cycles, and every morning they will
be only too glad to ride in for the
| mail, and the rural mail carriers will
only have to draw their breath and
their salary, and they will wax fat
and the farmer likewise and then
prosperity will ride through the land
in motor vehicle on good roads.
| AS at present contemplated. it will
| require from 70 to so carriers to de.
liver the mail through Washington
county once a day. That is, provid.
| ing the roads ere in good enough con.
| dition; otherwise the farmers will be
lucky to get their mail once a month

How to Plant Watercress.

Sow some watercress around the
spring run. Its pungent taste makes
it q. relish and an excellent appetizer
in the early spring before anything
else green has thought of growing.
Sow seed in the bed of run where
water is not over one or two inches
deep and does not run too swiftly.
Dead grass and roots should first be
cleaned out. If the bottom is sandy
or gravelly, it will do better than
mud. The plant is good perennial,
and if the location is good and it is
cut over carefully the bed will last
indefinitely Spring runs near their
sources rapidly =. freeze over, and in
open winters the plants will remain
green and grow all winter. Paintings
may be easily made with roots taken
from another bed.--Grant Davis, in
Farm and Home. #stz4 b ~.s.#.@
