Tho Money SYatem


Reference has been made hitherto
to the sentiment in Oneida County,
New York, in favor of improved high
ways and the good work accomplished
there. 1t is encouraging to workers
along this line that the Oneida SEN
tlment Is growing, and that 1t is ex-
tending to nelghboring counties. OF
the 2OOO miles of highways in Oneida
County, 41O miles are now cared for
under what Is known as "the money"
system, to distinguish IL from the old
plan of requiring certain number
of days labor yearly from the citi-
zens on the highways. 1t was grudg-
naturally not efficient. The eXpendi-
ture of taxes under intelligent direc-
ton gives much better results, and il
Is expected that many additional
towns in the county will adopt the
money system next fall. Another for.
ward step contemplated is the appoint
ment of an engineer TO have supervis-
ion of all the highways in the county.
For the advanced position of Oneida
County in this particular much credit
Is due the County League for good
roads. a similar league was orga-
nized recently in Herkimer, and mt the
first meeting some 250 Mohawk Val
ley farmers were present. That so

To Remove Paint Spots.

The best way and, in fact, the only
good way to remove fresh paint from
woolen garment slightly damaged
by inadvcrtent contact is instantane-
ously to rub the spots with another
portion of the same garment Don't
let the paint dry. Snatch up fresh

The friction Immediately disslpates the
damage, and no trace is left on either
part of the goods. Except for the loss
of little surface fuzz, the garment is
as upblemished as before.

Martin Dodge, director of the Office
of Road Inquiry, Department of Agri-
culture, stated to the Industrial Com
n matter of great public interest. and
there was n great demand for good
roads. His suggestion was that good
roads should be built and the expense
divided equally between the Govern
ment, the state and the towns bene-
fitted by such Improvement Mr.. Dodge
gave the results of experiments which
were tried In Maryland, estimating the
cost of hauling loads in short hauls
by animal power at twenty-slx cents
per ton per mile. He claimed that
system of good roads in the country
would do away with many of the in.
equalities under which farmers now
labor He learned by investigation that
where governments had large num-
Der of men to take care of, whether
convicts or standing armies, their
services had been utilized for the con-
struction of good roads. He instanced
the roads of Rome, which were built
by slaves, and the Siberian roads,
which had been constructed by Rus
sian soldiers. Mr.. Dodge gave it as
his opinion that there are two meas
ures which would assist to bring about
improvements in good roads to an ex-
tent where the public Is sufficiently
beneiited--the reduction of the cost
of material and the utilization of la
Dor that could not be otherwise en-
plOyed.
