The following splendid endorsement Of
the entertainment by Blatchford Kavan-
agh and Rooney's Boys is from the Mob
erly CNlo) Democrat:
Not since the foundations Of Moberly
were laid have our people had such a
musical treat, from an artistic STANDPOINT,
as that afforded last night at Hagarty's
opera holTse by Blatchford Kavanagh
and Rooney's Boys.
The first number was q violin solo,
Second POlonaise Brilliant" by Master
Tracy Holbrook, a b-year-old Chicago
boy and a master of the bow. He was
compelled to respond to an encore and
played something in minor key. which
was a marvel Of expression and tender
sentiment.
Master Harold Maurer, another Chi
cago prodigy, Il years cid, sang con-
tralto solo, 1.-THE Soldiers Dream" in
such smooth rich voice and with such
superb effect that he, too. was forced
to return.
when the baby soprano, the boy from
Bryans state, ten-year-olI Harry Cock
rell, came out on the stage, with a
sweet and unaffected smile on his face,
every pair Of motherly arms in the house
1onged to embrace him. His is one Of
the most remarkable soprano voices we
have ever heard-cleaF, smooth flexible
and with an upward range almost illimit-
able. His Song Of the Throstle.' was a
marvel Of vocalizat ton, and set the audi
ence wild with rapturous applause. Mas
ter Harry has been with Professor Roney

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.
Facts Showing the Economy of Hard
Stone Roads for Both Farmer
and Business Man.

The principle Of the good roads
movement, as advocated by the
League Of American Wheelmen, is
that the common roads of the coun-
try are as important as the railway
systems, the statement being made by
them and being easily understood
that there is not an ounce Of any COM
modify hauled over the railroads that
is not first transported by wagons
over country roads or city streets. 1t
does not matter If the commodity is
manufactured articles that are loaded
on cars at the factory. The raw mate
rial has first to be hauled to the fac
tory. But the greatest hauling is
done In the farming districts, and
there it IS that good highways are
most needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support it deserves as
yet for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in
the building of common roads. since
there would be no income from the in
vestment, such as there is in rail-
ways. Municipal, county, state and
the national governments have not
had the issue brought directly before
them In its full significance, because
II is necessary to first educate the
people 70 the necessities of the move
ment. This Is what is being done bv
phe wheelmen at the present time. and
1t must be said to their credit that
they have enlisted the sympathy and
support of all the prominent farmers
organizations In the movement. With
the two classes working together it is
only a question of time until the
movement will be made political is
sue, and then will come the desired
Improvements.
The argument offered in favor Of
the improved roads is that they les
sen the cost of repairs, make II DOS
sible to haul the largest amount of /
goods with the smallest animal power I
save time and increase property valua- /
tions. No railroad company would ex-
pect to do business If its tracks and .
roadbed were in such condition ms 10
make II either impossible to use the
tracks at long seasons of the year or
In using them have TO lose a great deal
OF time and have immense repairs TO
make, and yet that Is what the farm
ers and others using the common
roads are doing in a comparative way
every day In the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing and then wonder why there is no
profit In their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the
greatest expense. II has been esti-
mated that in the states where the
stone roads have been built the cost
II transportation has been decreased
% 20 per cent. of the former figures
md that the roads pay for themselves
within few years. 1t has been fur
her shown that the amount lost in
he different ways mentioned will
more than pay for the building and
epairs Of these roads on the annual
assessments made for them or that il
osts no more each year to have good
Dads than 1t does to have bad ones.

Take a rope Of convenient length and
thickness, and make small loop at one
Of its ends and another small loop about
four inches away from it. The halter is
completed by passing the end of the
rope through the first loop and then
through the second loop. AS this
halter runs through both loops ii will
fit a head of any size. Its special dis
advantage is that it requires to be kept
constantly tight in order for il to retain
its position. This objection can be OBJ
Waited for any particular horse by

loops. after determining the respec-
tive lengths of the head piece and the
nose band.-London Live Stock Jour

II Pavs TO Keen Accounts

The times are changing as rapidly
in regard to farm management as In
the management Of any other business,
and ii behooves the farmer 10 keep
watch of his operations with the same
keen eye that the merchant uses in
following up every venture to its close.
1t is impossible to do this thoroughly
without keeping books in which are
recorded the items of expense, both Of
time and money, involved in the pro-
duction of every farm product. 1t
needs some care and attention to do
this, and many farmers hate TO bring
themselves to such work, but II is pre-
cisely this kind of care and attention
which distinguishes the successful
from the unsuccessful men in every
kind of business.-Farm Journal.

This is not a theory, 10 Is a fact. Cures art
being made every day, though they are not
made I'm "a day. The reason why so many
suffer without hope is because they have
been so often induced to try impossible rem
edies. The man who says that "a blood dis
ease can be cured by "a local application or
operation IS "a fraud. There is but one way:
the blood must be purified. When that is
done the disease disappears. The best puri-
fer is Davld's Sasaparila. 10 does the work
